Exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Bartolome R. Celli,P J Barnes +1 more
TL;DR: More effective treatments are needed in the future for prevention and treatment of exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and there are presently no reliable biomarkers with which to predict exacerbations.

The overlap syndrome of asthma and COPD: what are its features and how important is it?
Peter G. Gibson,Jodie L. Simpson +1 more
TL;DR: There is a need to re-evaluate the concept of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as separate conditions, and to consider situations when they may coexist, or when one condition may evolve into the other.

TL;DR: Values below this suggest that further studies, such as split func-tion assessment by quantitative lung scintigraphy and exercisetesting, are warranted, and that all elective surgery Prophylaxis against deep venous throm-bosis should be given before most procedures that will require postoperative bed rest or significantly reduce mobility.

TL;DR: Severe or fatal obstructive lung disease could be prevented by screening smokers' lung function in early middle age if those with reduced function could be induced to stop smoking.
