TL;DR: The results suggest that adding FSC and tiotropium may provide benefits in symptomatic patients with severe-to-very severe stable COPD.

TL;DR: The anatomy and the neuro-pathophysiology of the cough reflex arc are analyzed and the anatomic and pathophysiologic elements of evaluation of the complex and multiple etiologies of cough are provided.

TL;DR: Bronchial epithelial overexpression of TLR4 and NOD1 in severe/very severe stable COPD, associated with increased bronchial inflammation and P. aeruginosa bacterial load, may play a role in the pathogenesis of COPD.

TL;DR: This work has focused on the potential pathogenic molecular links between tobacco smoking-related COPD and lung cancer and the potential molecular targets for new drug development by understanding the common signaling pathways involved in COPD.

TL;DR: It is noted that the lung perfusion significantly and rapidly improved after CDH repair even the apparently hypoplastic and small lungs, the diaphragm maintained a good contractility during forced respiration.
