Conclusions: In stable moderate-severe COPD, elevated urinary 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2, a metabolite of the platelet activation product thromboxane A2, was associated with worse respiratory symptoms, health status, and quality of life.

Objective: The use of inhaler device (UID) and the satisfaction and adherence of patients to treatment were evaluated by Istanbul city community pharmacists to obtain real-life data from patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Prevalence and mortality among patients with COPD hospitalised by ambulance in the 2007-2018 period - PubMed

Conclusions: COPD constituted increasing proportions of those admitted to hospital after calling the EMS. The mortality among EMS patients with COPD may be due to patients being older, having more comorbidities or being more severely acutely ill. The mortality suggests that COPD patients requesting an ambulance should be considered severely...
Investigation of ocular microstructural changes according to disease severity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

To investigate retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness and vascular density alterations in the retina and optic disc in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A total of 66...
Conclusion: Although COPD is primarily a lung disease, the eye seems to be among the tissues affected in its natural course. The effects are more pronounced in patients with severe COPD and in the deep capillary plexus and radial peripapillary capillary plexus.

Background Little is known about the pathogenesis of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap (ACO). This study examined the molecular phenotypes of ACO in the elderly. Methods A...
Conclusion: Recognition of the unique biological pathways associated with the two distinct molecular phenotypes of ACO will deepen our understanding of ACO in the elderly.
