In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), which are: an improvement of exercise capacity, symptoms, and health-related quality of life tend to wane over time. The objective of this study was to determine whether a long-term (3 years) supervised maintenance program after PR preserves the short-term effects on the outcomes in patients with moderate to severe COPD compared to minimal standard monitoring programs. Some other studies have shown that the benefits of PR programs last no more than 1 year with a maintenance technique, whereas other studies have shown that these techniques manage to extend the benefits of PR for longer periods.

Patients with malignant (cancerous) pleural effusions (buildup of excess fluid in the pleural space, the space between the visceral and parietal lining of the lung) have significant shortness of breath, cough, chest pain and shortened life expectancy. Indwelling pleural catheters (IPC) allow patients to drain pleural fluid at home and can lead to “autopleurodesis” (spontaneous cessation of pleural drainage without the use of other invasive procedures). Pleurodesis is a medical procedure in which the pleural space is artificially obliterated, involving the adhesion of the two lung linings so that fluid can no longer accumulate (See picture from JAMA).

Sleep disorders are frequently reported by patients with asthma with 22% to 47% expressing difficulties initiating and maintaining sleep, and more than 75% reporting poor sleep quality. In general, the presence of insomnia in patients with severe asthma was found to be approximately three times higher than rates reported in the general population. Poor sleep may not solely be due to nighttime asthma awakenings but may represent its association wth insomnia. This study aims to find the impact of insomnia on asthma control and asthma-related health care utilization. The prevalence of insomnia and its association with disease burden and well-being is not well established.
