TLDR
In this paper, the authors determined the prognostic value of objectively measured physical activity in comparison with established predictors of mortality and evaluated the prognosis value of noninvasive assessments of cardiovascular status, biomarkers of systemic inflammation, and adipokines.About:

Advanced nursing practice in COPD exacerbations: the solution for a gap in Switzerland?
Gabriela Schmid-Mohler,Christian F. Clarenbach,Gabi Brenner,Malcolm Kohler,Eva Horvath,Marc Spielmanns,Heidi Petry +6 more
TL;DR: Initial evaluation indicates that advanced practice nurses potentially have the skill set to coordinate the team and address patients' self-management needs in complex patient situations, but the legal foundation and a reimbursement system to ensure long-term implementation is not yet available.

Potential prognostic value of biomarkers in lavage, sputum and serum in a five year clinical follow-up of smokers with and without COPD
Olaf Holz,Olaf Holz,Benjamin Waschki,Stefan Roepcke,Henrik Watz,Gereon Lauer,Cornelia Faulenbach,Jens M. Hohlfeld,Jens M. Hohlfeld +8 more
TL;DR: If these data can be confirmed in larger COPD cohorts, it would emphasize the value of sputum markers in clinical trials and support the assumption that an anti-inflammatory treatment can have long term benefits in COPD.

Indacaterol for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TL;DR: As indacaterol/glycopyrronium fixed-dose combination (QVA149) shows superior efficacy compared to glycopyrronsium and tiotropium in patients with moderate to severe COPD, a fundamental question regarding the use of indac Caterol that requires clarification is whether it is preferable to start immediately with QVA149 rather than using indACaterol alone.

Exploring patients’ perceptions following an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to inform tailored strategies to enhance pulmonary rehabilitation
TL;DR: A chronology of key events and figures leading up to and including the invention of DNA sequencing and its applications to medicine and science are presented.

Impact of airflow obstruction on long-term mortality in patients with asthma in Japan.
Yusuke Okayama,Tomotaka Kawayama,Takashi Kinoshita,Yoshihisa Tokunaga,Jun Sasaki,Yuki Sakazaki,Haruki Imaoka,Tomoaki Hoshino +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that intervention and prevention of airflow obstruction can reduce long-term mortality in patients with asthma and reveal the impacts of asthma with airflow obstruction as an independent mortality risk.

TL;DR: It is recommended that spirometry is required for the clinical diagnosis of COPD to avoid misdiagnosis and to ensure proper evaluation of severity of airflow limitation.

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.
