TL;DR: The purpose of this document is to update the 1999 ATS/ERS statement on limb muscle dysfunction in COPD with important advances in the understanding of the extent and nature of the structural alterations in limb muscles in patients with COPD.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Peripheral muscle weakness is enhanced during an acute exacerbation of COPD, and CXCL8 and IGF-I may be involved in the development of peripheral muscle weakness in hospitalised and in stable patients with COPD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of mucociliary clearance in health and disease.
TL;DR: The present paper reviews normal mucociliary clearance and the effects of diseases on this process and identifies diseases known to affect MCC, mostly negatively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noninvasive and invasive pulmonary function in mouse models of obstructive and restrictive respiratory diseases.

TL;DR: Airflow obstruction and airflow limitation at baseline were only present in emphysema, but could be significantly induced after methacholine challenge in mice with asthma, which correlated best with an increase of respiratory resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased duration of mechanical ventilation is associated with decreased diaphragmatic force: a prospective observational study
TL;DR: Duration of mechanical ventilation is associated with a logarithmic decline in diaphragmatic force, which is compatible with the concept of VIDD, and may also be due to other potentially contributing factors such as sedatives/analgesics, sepsis, or others.
