Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most aggressive form of lung cancer; it is characterized by a rapid tumor-doubling time and early metastasis. Although SCLC is extremely sensitive to chemotherapy, relapses are frequent and the 5-year survival is

Frequent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations are a major cause of hospital admission and mortality and are associated with increased airway inflammation. Macrolides have airway antiinflammatory actions and may reduce the incide

This study explores the use of measuring plasma biomarkers at exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), providing insight into the underlying pathogenesis of these important events.The use of measuring C-reactive protein (CRP) to

Summary Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by inflammation of the lung in association with airflow obstruction. There is increasing evidence of upper airway involvement in COPD and we have reported that this nas

Study objectives The inflammatory responses and associated clinical severity of COPD exacerbations are greatly variable, and the determinants of these factors are poorly understood. We examined the hypothesis that bacteria and viruses may modulate th

Higher exacerbation incidence rates in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with more rapid decline in lung function and poorer quality of life, yet the mechanisms determining susceptibility to exacerbation remain ill-defined.

Study objective: The upper and lower airways are continuous. While upper airway symptoms are common in COPD patients, with accumulating evidence to suggest increased nasal inflammation, the relationships among upper airway, lower airway, and systemic

In addition to pulmonary involvement, stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with nasal and systemic inflammation. Although exacerbations of COPD are associated with increased pulmonary and systemic inflammation, determinan
