Summary: This study in the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study found an association between non-cigarette tobacco use and the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). All categories involving cigarette and e-cigarette use were associated with higher COPD prevalence, while quitting tobacco was protective against COPD development.

Summary: The study found that education level was associated with the prevalence of smoking, regardless of social class, and specific behaviors related to same-sex sexual experiences were associated with a higher prevalence of smoking. Regular alcohol consumption was also correlated with a higher prevalence of cigarette smoking.

Summary: IOS is a promising tool for differentiating between healthy individuals and those with respiratory diseases such as bronchiectasis and COPD. Specific parameters of IOS, particularly in the expiratory phase, show significant differences between BE and COPD groups. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and explore the full potential of IOS in diagnosing and monitoring respiratory diseases.

Summary: Significant differences in COPD AFL severity classification were found using the GLI-2012 and GIRH-2017 FEV1 reference equations. However, these differences did not affect symptoms, AE risk assessments, and ABCD grouping in patients at all GOLD grades.

Summary: This study found that the body surface temperature of COPD patients is lower compared to healthy individuals, which may be associated with autonomic nerve dysfunction, increased basal metabolic rate, metabolic syndrome, and nerve injury.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the protease ADAM17 plays a central role in the development of pulmonary emphysema, with ADAM17 deficiency ameliorating emphysematous changes and protecting mice from smoke-induced lung inflammation and alveolar cell apoptosis. This suggests that ADAM17 inhibitors could be potential therapeutic agents for COPD and emphysema treatment.

Summary: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is equally prevalent among women and men since 2008, mainly due to increased exposure to tobacco and biomass fuels. Women with COPD tend to have different clinical presentations and higher susceptibility to smoking and pollutants. Treatment limitations for women include under-diagnosis and fewer medical consultations.

Summary: The study analyzed the change in premature mortality rates of men and women due to COPD in Poland from 2008 to 2017. It found that while the mortality rates for females decreased annually by 2.6% without statistical significance, the rates for males decreased significantly by 5.2% per year. The most significant reduction in mortality was observed in certain age groups, with a higher reduction in females aged 50-54 and males aged 40-54.

Summary: This study found that individuals who simultaneously used conventional cigarettes and e-cigarettes had the highest odds of developing hypertension compared to non-smokers. The association between the use of both cigarette types and hypertension was significant in males, while only the use of conventional cigarettes and past smoking were significant in females.

Summary: The outcomes of NSCLC patients with COPD and ILD treated with curative-intent radiotherapy were retrospectively investigated. Poor overall survival was correlated with the presence of ILD, but not with decreased forced expiratory volume in 1-second. Increased breathlessness and oxygen requirements after radiotherapy were observed in severe/very severe COPD and ILD patients.

Summary: This study showed that among patients with MIBUC undergoing TURBT followed by CCRT for bladder preservation, current smokers with smoking-related COPD had significantly worse survival outcomes compared to nonsmokers without COPD. Additionally, hospitalization frequency for COPD with acute exacerbation within 1 year before CCRT was strongly associated with higher mortality in these patients.

Summary: Chronic bronchitis (CB) significantly affects symptoms, quality of life, and survival in smokers without COPD, with 27% of noCOPD smokers having CB. CB does not impact FEV1 decline in noCOPD but does significantly in COPD patients.
