This randomized clinical trial compared breathing exercises alone versus combined breathing-stretching exercises in COPD patients, showing greater improvements in respiratory indices, disease severity, and exercise capacity in the intervention group.
Frailty significantly worsens outcomes in people with COPD, increasing dyspnea, symptom burden, exacerbations, hospitalizations, and mortality; standardized frailty screening and interventions are critically needed.
Beyond the present: current and future perspectives on the role of infections in pediatric PCD - PubMed

Acute respiratory infections have a significant impact on morbidity in pediatric PCD, driving progressive airway remodeling. While current treatment strategies focus on managing infections directly, emerging therapies targeting inflammation and...
Children with PCD face recurring infections causing airway damage. This review highlights infection impacts, contributing factors, and emerging personalized therapies aimed at improving outcomes by restoring ciliary function.

ATOS improves exercise endurance, SpO₂ stability, and dyspnea relief more effectively than CFOS in COPD patients, based on meta-analysis of five RCTs involving 120 participants.
How Important Is Vitamin D Supplementation in the Prevention of Exacerbations in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): An Evidence-Based Review - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40161173/
This review examines the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation in preventing exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a major global contributor to morbidity and mortality. Exacerbations, often...

Vitamin D supplementation generally doesn't reduce COPD exacerbations but may help severely deficient patients. Screening is advised due to low cost, minimal risk, and potential benefit in high-risk groups.
