Do oxygen Uptake Recovery Kinetics after the 6-Minute Walk Test in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease?
T1/2 VO2 can be used to reflect exercise capacity in patients with COPD. As T1/2 VO2 mostly depends on the rate of increase in pulmonary blood flow, the results of the present study underline the importance of cardiocirculatory impairment for exercise intolerance in patients with COPD.
Functional polymorphisms in TBX21 are associated with the development of autoimmune thyroid diseases and prognosis of GD, and a functional polymorphism in HLX in combination with the TBX21 polymorphism is also associated with the prognosis of GD.
