My presentation will focus on the current state of advanced surgical therapies available to treat patients with advanced emphysema/COPD. I will discuss surgical treatment options including bronchoscopic lung volume reduction, surgical lung volume reduction and lung transplantatio [....] » Read More
Title : Asthma and occupational exposures
Jordan B Minov, Institute for Occupational Health, North Macedonia
Occupational exposures may cause new-onset asthma in a healthy subject, aggravate pre-existing asthma in a symptomatic individual or reactivate asthma in an asymptomatic individual. All these disorders are covered by the term work-related asthma (WRA) or work-attributable asthma, [....] » Read More
Title : Distinct changes in endosomal composition promote NLRP3 inflammasome activation
Zhirong Zhang, Université de Strasbourg, France
Inflammasome complexes are pivotal in the innate immune response to pathogens and other danger signals. The NLRP3 inflammasome is activated in response to a broad variety of cellular stressors, including COVID-19 infection. Most of the stimuli act in a potassium efflux-dependent [....] » Read More
Title : Association between all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and lung function across the full range of distribution: results from HAPIEE cohort study
Tatyana Sarycheva, Masaryk University, Czech Republic
Background: Impaired lung function has been established as an independent predictor of mortality but there is less evidence on the mortality risk in persons with preserved lung function. We assessed the pattern of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality across the full distributio [....] » Read More
Title : Characterising a role for extracellular vesicles in Cystic Fibrosis and COPD
Judith Coppinger, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, Ireland
Cystic Fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are chronic lung disease characterized by progressive reduced lung function, inflammation associated with underlying genetic defects in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel. In our studies, we h [....] » Read More
Title : Expanding Access to Pulmonary Rehabilitation by Embedding it in Educational Institutions and Community Centers
Tammie Fournier, Allied Health, New Brunswick Community College, Canada
Globally, COPD impacts approximately 10% of the population and is the third leading cause of death. Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) is a gold standard intervention in the management of COPD developed to slow disease progression, reduce disabling symptoms, and overall improve the qu [....] » Read More

Title : Age and disease have a distinct influence on postural balance of patients with COPD
Catarina Costa Boffino , São Paulo Methodist University , Brazil
The postural imbalance is an extra-pulmonary condition, associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). COPD affects older individuals and it is unclear whether balance abnormalities can be described as pathophysiological mechanism or aging. The present study aimed [....] » Read More
Title : Potential Application of a Simple Prototype Inspiratory Muscle Device and Modified Fast- Deep Breathing Techniques via Voldyne Incentive Spirometry Enhances the Respiratory Function, Walking Capacity, and Quality of Life Among People with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Jirakrit Leelarungrayub, Chiang Mai University, Thailand
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is still the main problem of people around the world as in Thailand. Low quality of life with less exercise intolerance is a critical issue for rehabilitation. Therefore, the development of a simple device from folk materials for respi [....] » Read More
Title : Mesencure- A Promising treatment for severe COVID-19 pneumonia
Shadi Hamoud, Rambam Health Care Campus, Israel
Since DEC 2019 health authorities all over the world are in continuous combat against the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The disaese was first described in Wuhan, China on DEC 2019, followed by rapid spread all over the world, and caused by the Coronovirus SARS-COV [....] » Read More
Title : Benchtop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance-based metabolomics for the diagnosis of lung diseases
Jose Luis Izquierdo Garcia, Complutense University of Madrid. Multidisciplinary Institute, Spain
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR)-based metabolomic analysis of biofluids provides a potential tool for understanding biochemical processes associated with respiratory diseases. However the translation of NMR-based metabolomics to a clinic environment has several limi [....] » Read More
Title : Treatable traits in COPD: Differences between GOLD-classes.
Daniela Cardoso, CHUC, Portugal
Introduction: The classification and management of COPD are currently based on a patient-centric approach, emphasising the importance of symptoms and exacerbation history (GOLD-classes). Since COPD patients present hight individual heterogeneity, the treatable traits (TT) strateg [....] » Read More

Mariana Conde, Centro Hospital of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro - Vila Real, Portugal
The COVID-19 pandemic registered its first case in Portugal in March 2020. Its repercussion on the functioning of respiratory rehabilitation services has been significant, bringing a new population of respiratory patients. We aimed to evaluate the characteristics and evolution [....] » Read More
Title : Effect of six weeks resistance exercise delivered via telerehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Po Ching Huang, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an irreversible lung disease and exercise intervention in pulmonary rehabilitation is one of the recommended interventions with the benefits of improving the exercise tolerance and the quality of life. Telerehabilitation has the rep [....] » Read More
