Background: Many patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) suffer from poor sleep quality. We hypothesized that poor sleep quality in otherwise stable patients predicted exacerbations in these patients.
Methods: This is a secondary analysis of the results of a previously published randomized trial of azithromycin in 1,117 patients with moderate to severe COPD who were clinically stable on enrollment.

Department of Pathology, The University of Colorado Denver Health Sciences Center, Aurora, CO, USA.
So-called "high-risk" epithelioid hemangioendotheliomas are uncommon neoplasms that demonstrate classic histopathologic features of epithelioid hemangioendotheliomas and a size larger than 3 cm or >3 mitotic figures per 50 high power fields. These neoplasms show an increased rate of metastasis (25% of cases) and are associated with a poor 5-year survival (59%). They may pose a diagnostic challenge for dermatopathologists as they mimic metastatic carcinoma, malignant mixed tumor, melanocytic neoplasms, epithelioid sarcoma, and epithelioid angiosarcoma.
