Journal ArticleDOI

Marital adjustment among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who are participating in pulmonary rehabilitation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that marital adjustment is associated with both psychologic well-being and physical functioning among patients with COPD, and that it may predict change among patientswith COPD participating in exercise rehabilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Comparative Analysis of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Guideline Development Methodologies.

TL;DR: To determine whether a modified Delphi process early during guideline development discriminates recommendations that should be informed by a systematic review from those that can be based upon expert consensus, the CORE process is proposed as an early step in guideline creation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pneumothorax risk factors in smokers with and without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Brian D. Hobbs, +128 more
TL;DR: Among smokers, pneumothorax is associated with male sex, non-Hispanic white race, and increased percentage of total and subpleural CT emphysema, and was not independently associated with height or lung function, even in participants with COPD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combining pressure-limiting and volume-cycling features in a patient-interactive mechanical breath.

TL;DR: A positive-pressure breath that incorporates both pressure-limiting and volume-cycling features can provide a volume “safety net” for patients in whom partial support with pressure-support ventilation is desired and can be pressure limited.
Journal Article

Eight-year follow-up of exercise electrocardiograms in healthy, middle-aged aviators.

TL;DR: It is concluded that even in a carefully screened aviator population with a low risk for CAD, a single normal exercise ECG does not exclude the presence of latent CAD and should not be a disqualifying defect without further work-up.
