The article searches into the efficiency of use of bronchomunal as treatment of chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB). A three-month course of treatment with the drug in 18 COB patients has been found to be associated with a positive dynamics of the most important indices of the immunogram, which fact warrants its administration as an effective COB complications-preventing alternative.

Department of Radiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Yanta Western Road, Xi'an, Shannxi, 710061.
Purpose: To explore the effect of different reconstruction algorithms (ASIR-V and DLIR) on image quality and emphysema quantification in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients under ultra-low-dose scanning conditions.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study with patient consent included 62 COPD patients. Patients were examined by pulmonary function test (PFT), standard-dose CT (SDCT) and ultra-low-dose CT (ULDCT).
The Role of Nutrition and Nutritional Supplements in the Prevention and Treatment of Malnutrition in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Current Approaches in Nutrition Therapy.
Curr Nutr Rep

Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey.
Purpose Of Review: Malnutrition is a significant comorbidity in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), contributing to disease progression and reduced quality of life. This narrative review examines the role of nutritional therapy in the prevention and management of malnutrition in COPD, emphasizing evidence-based approaches and their clinical implications.
Recent Findings: COPD patients face increased metabolic demands, systemic inflammation, and reduced dietary intake, resulting in muscle wasting, sarcopenia, and cachexia.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objective: Frailty is defined as a state of minimal "physiologic reserve." The modified 5 factor frailty index (mFI-5) is a recently proposed metric for assessing frailty and has been previously studied as a predictor of morbidity and mortality.
Immune Cell Characteristics and Infections Associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma, and Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD): A Mendelian Randomization Studies.

Epidemiological studies indicate that the involvement of the immune system in the pathogenesis of infections associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and interstitial lung disease (ILD) remains unclear. This study aims to assess the potential causal link between infections associated with COPD, asthma, or ILD and immune system function. We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis using publicly available genome-wide association study (GWAS) datasets.

Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) is involved in the synthesis of inflammatory cytokines that mediate several chronic inflammatory disorders, including psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. In recent years, the therapeutic armamentarium in dermatology has expanded with the introduction of PDE4 inhibitors, both in oral and topical formulations. PDE4 inhibitors have gained increasing interest due to their remarkable safety record and ease of prescription, as evidenced by the recent influx of literature detailing its off-label uses.
