Background: The rapid evolution of ChatGPT has generated substantial interest and led to extensive discussions in both public and academic domains, particularly in the context of medical education.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate ChatGPT's performance in a pulmonology examination through a comparative analysis with that of third-year medical students.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we conducted a comparative analysis with 2 distinct groups.

Methods: A cross-sectional study that included 66 patients followed for COPD.
Maximal voluntary inspiratory breath-holding time (MVIBHT) has proved to be of clinical utility in some obstructive ventilatory defects. This study aims to correlate the breath-holding time with pulmonary function tests in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to determine the feasibility of using a breath-holding test in assessing the severity of COPD.A cross-sectional study including male patients with stable COPD were conducted.

Aim: Describe the body composition of Tunisian patients followed for COPD and examine the relationship between body composition and the severity of the disease.
Methods: Cross-sectional study of patients with stable COPD.
