Molecular markers of aging, exercise capacity, & physical activity in COPD.

TL;DR: In this paper, epigenetic measures of biological age may help characterize variability in exercise capacity and physical activity observed among COPD patients, but not AEs, among individuals with COPD.

Can Technology-Based Physical Activity Programs for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Be Cost-Effective?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the cost-effectiveness of a technology-based physical activity intervention for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using a secondary data analysis.

Effectiveness of Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Malignant Respiratory Diseases

TL;DR: The efficacy of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with COPD, obstructive sleep apnea, asthma, metastatic lung cancer, and in patients requiring one or two lung transplants are observed and the reduction of the number of days in the hospital after the successful completion of this program compared with the previous year is observed.

Salmeterol and fluticasone propionate and survival in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

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.
