Minimal-Resource Home Exercise Program Improves Activities of Daily Living, Perceived Health Status, and Shortness of Breath in Individuals with COPD Stages GOLD II to IV
The objective was to evaluate the effects of HE, on activities of daily living (ADL), dyspnea, on the health status(CAT) and quality of life (HRQoL) of individuals with COPD GOLD II to IV. Quasi-experimental study of the effects of HE, for 2 months, 3 times a week. Individuals with COPD(n = 45) were recruited, 37 started the protocol(9 did not complete it). 28 individuals (mean age 62.04 ± 5.8 years, FEV1: 44.7 ± 2.25%, FEV1/FVC 59.8 ± 6.9%) were evaluated before and after training. We observed improvements in the ADL-Glittre (4.9 ± 1.4 vs 3.9 ± 1.1 min; mean difference: -0.9 ± 0.2 min [95%CI: -1.3 to -0.2]; p = 0.00...

Integrative Analyses of Mendelian Randomization and Transcriptomic Data Reveal No Association between Leptin and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
In this study, we investigated the relationship between leptin and COPD using an integrative analysis that combined a Mendelian randomization (MR) study with transcriptomic data analysis. Here, the MR analysis was performed on the online platform MR-Base, and the bioinformatics analyses were performed with the aid of R Bioconductor packages. No evidence was found by the integrative analysis to support the association of the two attributes. All methods detected a null causal effect of leptin on COPD in the MR analysis. In particular, when the genetically predicted leptin level increased one unit, the risk of developing COPD...
