Brazilian studies on pulmonary function in COPD patients: what are the gaps?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Circulating markers of inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may correlate to disease progression and extrapulmonary complications such as malnourishment. However, surprisingly little is known about gender-related differences for circulating inflammatory markers in COPD. PURPOSE:To ch...
