COPD is a heterogeneous disease responsible for a major burden on public and individual health. A wide variety of intrinsic and environmental risk factors are involved, and exert their influence at various time points during the life span of individuals. Knowledge of these factors is of utmost importance to develop appropriate screening and prevention programs, and may help improving the pathophysiological knowledge of the disease. Accordingly, there are multiple targets of information and education on risk factors for COPD, including the general population and patients, workers and employers, doctors and other healthcare professionals, researchers, policy-makers, payers, etc. Gender and socioeconomic factors need to be specifically considered. Importantly, it is likely that increasing the specific knowledge of COPD risk factors among the above-mentioned targets cannot not be obtained without increasing the general knowledge of COPD in the population, which at present is dramatically low.

Background: The use of plaque modification techniques during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) has increased. However, these procedures are linked to higher contrast volume and hypotensive episodes, which are risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI). This study examined the effects of various plaque modification techniques on AKI after PCI.

Background: A bladder outlet procedure (BOP) without augmentation cystoplasty (AC) for incontinence from neurogenic bladder has risks including renal damage and future surgeries.
Objective: Our objective was to obtain long-term outcomes after BOP without AC and identify risk factors for adverse outcomes. We hypothesized that high preoperative bladder compliance is associated with lower risk of subsequent AC or diversion (AC/D) and dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scan (DMSA) abnormalities.

Background: Children with a respiratory disease requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) have an elevated risk for subsequent neurodevelopmental and behavioural disorders (NDBD). This study evaluates NDBD in children receiving IMV during surgical admissions.
Methods: Children enrolled in Texas Medicaid between 1999 and 2012 with a surgical admission were evaluated.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for severe radiation pneumonitis (RP) after thoracic radiotherapy (RT) in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), develop a prediction model to identify high-risk groups, and investigate the impact of severe RP on overall survival (OS).
Methods: We retrospectively collected clinical, dosimetric, and hematological factors of patients with stage III NSCLC receiving thoracic RT without immunotherapy. The primary and secondary end points were severe RP and OS, respectively.

Department of Systems Medicine, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Obesity Medical Center, University Hospital Policlinico Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy.
Aims: Obesity is a multifactorial disease influenced by several factors including poor diet, physical inactivity, and genetic predisposition. In recent years, the social and environmental context, along with race/ethnicity and gender, have been recognized as factors influencing obesity risk beyond traditional risk factors. This review aims to increase knowledge of these causal determinants and their implications for the treatment and management of obesity, addressing not only the individual but also the societal sphere.
