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

Targeted therapy in chronic diseases using nanomaterial-based drug delivery vehicles
TL;DR: The advantages of various drug delivery vehicles are discussed for better understanding of their utility in terms of current medical needs and the application of a wide range of nanomedicines is also described in the context of major chronic diseases.

Lung function decline rates according to GOLD group in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Joohae Kim,Ho Il Yoon,Yeon-Mok Oh,Seong Yong Lim,Ji Hyun Lee,Tae Hyung Kim,Sang Yeub Lee,Jin Hwa Lee,Sang Do Lee,Changhoon Lee +9 more
TL;DR: Prior classification using postbronchodilator FEV1 predicts decline in lung function better than does the new classification, and there was no significant difference in lungfunction decline rates according to the GOLD groups.

Development of a simple screening tool for opportunistic COPD case finding in primary care in Latin America: The PUMA study
Maria Victorina Lopez Varela,Maria Montes de Oca,Alejandra Rey,Alejandro Casas,Roberto Stirbulov,Valentina Di Boscio +5 more
TL;DR: The objective was to measure COPD prevalence in an at‐risk population visiting primary care for any reason, to assess the yield of this opportunistic approach and the accuracy of a score developed to detect COPD.

Role of infection and antimicrobial therapy in acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
TL;DR: Current evidence suggests that therapeutic goals not only include resolution of the acute episode, but also prolonging the time to the next event, and preventing exacerbations will likely become increasingly accepted as an additional therapeutic goal in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.

Retrospective Assessment of Home Ventilation to Reduce Rehospitalization in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
TL;DR: It is observed that a multifaceted intervention that involved initiation of nocturnal advanced PAP (NIPPV) modality, RT-led respiratory care, medication reconciliation, appropriate oxygen therapy initiation, and patient education led to significant reduction in rehospitalization.

Protective effect of a bacterial extract against acute exacerbation in patients with chronic bronchitis accompanied by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TL;DR: Orally administered Broncho-Vaxom is associated with a decreases in the incidence of acute exacerbation and a decrease in the need for antibiotics and symptomatic relief medications in patients with chronic bronchitis accompanied by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
