Air Current Applied to the Face Improves Exercise Performance in Patients with COPD.

abstract：PURPOSE:Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is increasingly recognized, as current reports of its clinical features show. To determine CPFE's physiologic and radiologic features, we conducted quantitative assessment of computed tomography scans to compare with those of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease...
