Frequent and highly prevalent as comorbidities in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients, both depression and anxiety seem to have an impact on COPD prognosis. However, they are underdiagnosed and rarely treated properly. To establish the prevalence of depression and anxiety in patients admitted for Acute Exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is commonly isolated from the sputum of COPD patients. However, the precise role of P. aeruginosa infection in the progression of COPD, especially its role in altering inflammation remains unclear. Here, we designed mice models of COPD infected with P. aeruginosa (PA) and observed dynamic changes of lung struc...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma and cystic fibrosis (CF) are distinct respiratory diseases that share features such as the obstruction of small airways and disease flare-ups that are called exacerbations and are often caused by infections. Along the airway epithelium, immunoglobulin (Ig) A contributes to first line mucosal prot...

The echocardiogram is a useful method for monitoring the cardiovascular complications of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but it is not clear if morphological and functional cardiac variables are able to identify patients with unfavorable COPD progression. The aim of this study was to investigate morphological and functional echocardio...

We examined the prevalence of comorbid depression and anxiety in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and their response to eight-weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). Seven hundred thirty four patients with clinically stable COPD completed an eight-week outpatient multidisciplinary PR, comprising 2-h (1-h exercise and 1-h e...

Depression and anxiety are common in patients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and anxiety and depression can increase the risk of hospitalization and the acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The relationship between the frequency of hospitalization for acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) and the anxiety an...
