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.

Pulmonary rehabilitation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

TL;DR: In four important domains of quality of life (QoL) (Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (CRQ) scores for dyspnoea, fatigue, emotional function and mastery), the effect was larger than the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of 0.4%.

Multi-sensor fusion in body sensor networks: State-of-the-art and research challenges

TL;DR: This survey discusses clear motivations and advantages of multi-sensor data fusion and particularly focuses on physical activity recognition, aiming at providing a systematic categorization and common comparison framework of the literature, by identifying distinctive properties and parameters affecting data fusion design choices at different levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

TL;DR: Without a global political and economic effort to reduce tobacco use, to regulate environmental exposure, and to find alternatives to the massive use of biomass fuel, COPD will remain a major health-care problem for decades to come.

Cardiac Disease in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

TL;DR: Management strategies for the care of patients with COPD and coronary artery disease are similar to those without COPD, but care must be given to address their respiratory limitations, as well as renewed interest in specific pulmonary vasodilators.

Circulating adiponectin levels and mortality in elderly men with and without cardiovascular disease and heart failure.

TL;DR: In older men, high adiponectin levels are associated with increased all-cause and CVD mortality in those with heart failure and those free of CVD, suggesting that adiponECTin levels may reflect a balance of both protective and harmful factors.

C-Reactive Protein Levels and Survival in Patients With Moderate to Very Severe COPD

TL;DR: In this population of patients with clinically moderate to very severe COPD, the level of CRP level was not associated with survival compared with other prognostic clinical tools such as the BODE index, modified Medical Research Council scale, 6-min walk distance, percentage of predicted FEV, IC/TLC ratio, and Pao(2).

Adiponectin and Functional Adiponectin Receptor 1 Are Expressed by Airway Epithelial Cells in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

TL;DR: The novel observation that adiponectin and functional AdipoR1 are expressed by lung epithelial cells is demonstrated, suggesting a potential autocrine and/or paracrine pathway for adip onectin to activate epithelial Cells in COPD-E.
