Airway microbiota in asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap (ACO) remains unknown.This study with ACO-enriched population aimed to clarify airway microbiota in ACO and in mixed granulocytic inflammation, often detected...
Bacteroidia and Porphyromonas abundances in sputum are associated with the eosinophil-low phenotype, and overlap of asthma and COPD may be characterized by a decrease in these taxa.

The aim of the present study was to determine the mediator role of psychological resilience in examining the effect of spiritual well-being on self-care agency in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Patients...
Spiritual well-being and self-care agency of patients with COPD were moderate and psychological resilience was high. In addition, spiritual well-being was found to affect self-care agency directly and the mediating role of psychological resilience indirectly.
Characteristics of Current Smokers Versus Former Smokers With COPD and Their Associations With Smoking Cessation Within 4.5 Years: Results From COSYCONET
Evaluating whether patients with COPD who smoked differed from patients with COPD who had ceased smoking prior to inclusion or during the follow-up study time
When comparing smokers with ex-smokers upon inclusion, smokers had better spirometric lung function and reported more respiratory symptoms in terms of the SGRQ symptoms domain, but less burden from the disease as reflected in the Activity domain.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma are common airway diseases, and there are similarities and differences between them. Serum eosinophil (EOS) has potential application value in the diagnosis, treatment,...
Serum eosinophil plays an important role in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of COPD and asthma and has potential clinical application. However, the assessment threshold still needs further study, which provides guidance for treating COPD and asthma in the clinic.
