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.

Activity Monitoring and Energy Expenditure in COPD Patients: A Validation Study

TL;DR: This physiologic activity monitor provides a valid and reproducible estimate of energy expenditure during slow to moderate paced walking in a laboratory setting and represents an objective method to assess activity in COPD subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lower limb activity and its determinants in COPD.

TL;DR: Total daily activity in patients with COPD is closely related to leg activity which is reduced compared with controls of similar age, and subjective and objectively assessed activity improves after rehabilitation and is predicted by FEV1.

Measurement properties of the SenseWear armband in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

TL;DR: It is suggested that the SAB is useful for the evaluation of EE in patients with COPD who walk without a rollator, and there was fair agreement between EESAB and EEIC, and measurements of EES AB were repeatable.

Systemic inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: the role of exacerbations.

TL;DR: Understanding of the systemic manifestations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations can be greatly enhanced if what is known about the basic science of systemic mediators with the translational science of their role in COPD exacerbations are integrated.

Elevated Circulating Plasma Adiponectin in Underweight Patients With COPD

TL;DR: Plasma adiponectin levels in patients with COPD were elevated and correlated with body weight loss, hyperinflation, and systemic inflammation and may reduce cardiovascular events in underweight patients in Japan.
