It is fair to say that we still cannot provide a specific answer to the big question: what is COPD anyway? Despite this, there has been, and still is, an extensive鈥攁nd in our opinion, useless鈥攄iscussion about whether a "fixed ratio" of FEVj to FVC or an empirically defined ...
FEV1(Forced expiratory volume in 1 second): the total amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled in the first second of the FVC test.Healthyindividuals generally expel around 75% to 85% in this time while it is minimally decreased I restrictive conditions. TLC (Total lung capacity): this i...
People with COPD experience a more rapid decline in what is called forced expiratory volume, or FEV. FEV is the maximum volume of air that can be exhaled within a specified time period, starting from maximal inhalation. A subscript indicates the time period in seconds. For example, FEV1is th...

Motivation can be broadly defined as what moves people to act. Low motivation is a frequently reported factor for the reduced physical activity (PA) levels observed in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study assessed patients’ motives to be physically active, according...

advanced COPD. Lung transplantation, although effective in selected patients for palliation of symptoms and improving survival, is limited by donor organ availability and economic constraint. Reconditioning marginal organs previously declined for transplantation with ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is one ...
Despite significant global reductions in cases of pneumonia during the last 3 decades, pneumonia remains the leading cause of post-neonatal mortality in ch
is that Occam's razor doesn't apply in geriatrics. Mr Rivera has shortness of breath and COPD. That doesn't mean that's the only reason he's short of breath. How do you think about multimorbidity when you have this patient with shortness of breath and he's coming to you for COPD?
