Impressions and Perceptions of a Smartphone and Smartwatch Self-Management Tool for Patients With COPD: A Qualitative Study
CONCLUSIONS: Patients found a wearable device and mobile application to be acceptable and useful for the management of COPD. We identified barriers to adoption and opportunities for improvement to the design of our app. Further research is needed to understand what people with COPD and their healthcare providers want and will use in a mobile app and wearable for COPD management.PMID:38348964 | DOI:10.1080/15412555.2023.2277158 (Source: COPD: Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)

Beyond Spirometry: Linking Wasted Ventilation to Exertional Dyspnea in the Initial Stages of COPD
COPD. 2024 Dec;21(1):2301549. doi: 10.1080/15412555.2023.2301549. Epub 2024 Feb 13.ABSTRACTExertional dyspnea, a key complaint of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ultimately reflects an increased inspiratory neural drive to breathe. In non-hypoxemic patients with largely preserved lung mechanics - as those in the initial stages of the disease - the heightened inspiratory neural drive is strongly associated with an exaggerated ventilatory response to metabolic demand. Several lines of evidence indicate that the so-called excess ventilation (high ventilation-CO2 output relationship) primarily refle...

Assessment of the Relationship Between Genetic Determinants of Obesity, Unhealthy Eating Habits and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Mendelian Randomisation Study
Conclusion: Therefore, we should strengthen the guidance of diet and living habits of obese patients. For patients with heavier weight and higher body fat rate, they should be instructed to lose weight and fat to prevent the occurrence of COPD. For obese patients with COPD, more attention should be paid to prevent the occurrence of acute exacerbation of COPD in advance.PMID:38348880 | DOI:10.1080/15412555.2024.2309236 (Source: COPD: Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
