TLDR
The assessment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been refined to separate the spirometric assessment from symptom evaluation, and the concept of de‐escalation of therapy is introduced in the treatment assessment scheme.Abstract:
This Executive Summary of the Global Strategy for the Diagnosis, Management and Prevention of COPD, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2017 Report focuses primarily on the revised and novel parts of the document. The most significant changes include: (i) the assessment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been refined to separate the spirometric assessment from symptom evaluation. ABCD groups are now proposed to be derived exclusively from patient symptoms and their history of exacerbations; (ii) for each of the groups A to D, escalation strategies for pharmacological treatments are proposed; (iii) the concept of de-escalation of therapy is introduced in the treatment assessment scheme; (iv)non-pharmacological therapies are comprehensively presented and (v) the importance of co-morbid conditions in managing COPD is reviewed.read more

Correlation between serum IL-32 concentration and clinical parameters of stable COPD: a retrospective clinical analysis.
TL;DR: Investigating the association between serum interleukin 32 (IL-32) concentration and clinical parameters in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease suggested that IL-32 may be a molecular biomarker that reflects the severity of COPD and contributes to the disease diagnosis.

Peitu Shengjin Recipe Attenuates Airway Inflammation via the TLR4/NF-kB Signaling Pathway on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Xuzhen Hu,Bo Hong,Minghuan Sun +2 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that PSR and Biostime Probiotic Powder have protective effects on COPD rats, which may be achieved by modulating the TLR4/NF-kB signaling pathway.

TL;DR: Patients with persistent hypercapnia may benefit from using NIMV during exercise testing and pulmonary rehabilitation and demand-activated oxygen delivery devices may be just as effective as continuous oxygen therapy in preventing significant oxyhaemoglobin desaturations in COPD patients.

HealMA: a model-driven framework for automatic generation of IoT-based Android health monitoring applications
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed a framework based on model-driven engineering that accelerates the development of IoT-based Android health monitoring mobile applications using traditional software development methods, which is called HealMA.

Arterial stiffness in symptomatic smokers with normal lung function
Nicola Scichilone,Antonino Tuttolomondo,Carlo Maida,Alida Benfante,Jessica Peluso,Anna Cirrincione,Valerio Vassallo,Antonio Pinto +7 more
TL;DR: The current investigation shows that the cardiovascular risk occurs in smokers with respiratory symptoms in the absence of bronchial obstruction, and these findings need to be confirmed in larger populations in order to inform the design of intensive preventive programmes.

TL;DR: Screening with the use of low-dose CT reduces mortality from lung cancer, as compared with the radiography group, and the rate of death from any cause was reduced.

Bartolome R. Celli,Claudia Cote,Jose M. Marin,Ciro Casanova,Maria Montes de Oca,Reina A. Mendez,Victor Pinto Plata,Howard Cabral +7 more
TL;DR: The BODE index, a simple multidimensional grading system, is better than the FEV1 at predicting the risk of death from any cause and from respiratory causes among patients with COPD.

TL;DR: The reduction in death from all causes among patients with COPD in the combination-therapy group did not reach the predetermined level of statistical significance, and there were significant benefits in all other outcomes among these patients.

A self-complete measure of health status for chronic airflow limitation. The St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire.
TL;DR: The St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire is a valid measure of impaired health in diseases of chronic airflow limitation that is repeatable and sensitive andMultivariate analysis demonstrated that SGRQ scores summed a number of areas of disease activity.
