Predictors of mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
TL;DR: The ability of an integrated, multidimensional tool to more broadly characterize COPD severity, assess response to therapeutic interventions and exacerbations, and predict mortality is discussed.

The repeatability of interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and C-reactive protein in COPD patients over one year.
TL;DR: Systemic inflammatory biomarkers IL-6, CRP, and TNF-α were moderately repeatable over a twelve month period in COPD patients and it was shown that a robust and repeatable association between IL- 6 and CRP exists.

Manual therapy for chronic obstructive airways disease: a systematic review of current evidence.
TL;DR: Evidence for MT as an adjunctive management approach for COPD is lacking and more exploratory research is first required to better understand the nature and extent of changes in the musculoskeletal system in patients with COPD and their possible relationship with pulmonary function.

Point: Should We Abandon FEV1/FVC <0.70 To Detect Airway Obstruction? No
TL;DR: Differences in diagnostic criteria among expert groups can lead to widely varying prevalence estimates that confound the comparability of research studies, complicate the assessment of the burden of disease, and contribute to diagnostic confusion.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 uses the SARS -CoV receptor ACE2 for entry and the serine protease TMPRSS2 for S protein priming, and it is shown that the sera from convalescent SARS patients cross-neutralized Sars-2-S-driven entry.

Wen-Huei Chen,Chuan Yi Tang +1 more
TL;DR: The algorithm can be used as a building block for solving other distributed graph problems, and can be slightly modified to run on a strongly-connected diagraph for generating the existent Euler trail or to report that no Euler trails exist.
