Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a constant and chronic narrowing of the
respiratory airways, with numerous associated symptoms, not always related to the …

The perception of breathlessness is mechanistically linked to the awareness of increased
inspiratory neural drive (IND). Stimulation of upper airway cold receptors on the trigeminal …

Low resting inspiratory capacity (IC) and low maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) have
previously been linked to exertional dyspnea, exercise limitation, and poor survival in …

The functional disturbances driving “out-of-proportion” dyspnoea in patients with fibrosing
interstitial lung disease (f-ILD) showing only mild restrictive abnormalities remain poorly …

Many scholars consider prognosis the key scientific achievement of the Hippocratic tradition
(1). As depicted earlier, the ancient Greek definition of prognosis makes clear that it is not …
