Summary Objectives: vitamin D is important for muscle function and it affects different aspects of muscle metabolism. This study aim to determine whether serum 25(OH) D levels are related to lung functions, physical performance and balance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: in 90 patients with COPD and 57 healthy controls lung function tests, physical performance tests (time up and go, gait velocity test, sit-to-stand test, isometric strength, isokinetic strength), static (functional reach test) and dynamic (time up and go) balance tests and the association of 25(OH)D levels with lung functions, physical performance and balance were evaluated. Results: the COPD patients had significantly more deficit in physical function and balance parameters, and in dynamic balance test (p<0.005). Isokinetic knee muscle strength (flexor and extensor) in COPD patients was significantly lower than in the controls (p<0.05); FEV1 (p=0.008), FVC (p=0.02), FEV1/FVC (p=0.04), TLC (p=0.01) were lower in COPD patients with vitamin D deficiency [25(OH) D less than 15ng/mL] than in COPD patients without vitamin D deficiency. Hand grip test (p=0.000) and isokinetic knee muscle strength (flexor and extensor) (p<0.05) were also lower in COPD patients with vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency was more pronounced in patients with stage III COPD (p<0.05). Conclusion: patients with COPD had worst physical functioning, poor balance and less muscle strength. Severe disturbed lung and peripheral muscle functions are more pronounced in COPD patients with vitamin D deficiency.

Background: The importance of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) as a therapeutic measure for COPD patients is well known. Objective: To evaluate the effects of PR program by pursed lip breathing (PLB) and diaphragmatic breathing (DB) on FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC ratio in male patients with moderate stable COPD. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, BSMMU, Dhaka from July 2010 to June 2011 on 116 male stable moderate COPD patients aged 50 to 65 years. They were enrolled from the out patient department of the Department of Medicine of BSMMU and NIDCH Dhaka. They were grouped as control (56 patients without PR) and experimental (60 patients with PR). The experimental patients were advised to perform PR program for 30 minutes duration per session at home twice daily, for consecutive 60 days along with the standard drug treatment of COPD. On the contrary, the control patients were advised to continue their standard drug treatment alone for consecutive 60 days. For the assessment of spirometric lung function status, FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC ratio of all subjects were recorded on day 0 and day 60 for both the group by a portable digital MicroDL Spirometer and the statistical analysis was done by independent sample ‘t’ test and paired Student’s ‘t’ test. Results: FVC and FEV1 value were significantly increased in comparison to the control patients after 60 days of follow up. On the other hand, post exercise value of FEV1/FVC ratio was decreased but it was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The study reveals improvement of lung functions with this sort of combination of PR program in stable COPD patients.

Abstract Introduction COPD is known to be a multisystemic inflammatory disease that goes beyond lung involvement. The association of decreased lung functions and diabetes mellitus has been studied for many years suggesting that the lung could be a target organ in diabetes mellitus. Objective assessment of pulmonary functions in COPD patients with normoglycemia and with diabetes mellitus, and patients with diabetes mellitus. Patients and Methods The study was conducted in Ain shams university hospitals After the inclusion criteria was met, patients were divided into 3 groups, each group was 20 patients,(group 1): diabetes mellitus patients,(group 2): COPD patients, and (group 3): COPD with diabetes mellitus patients. spirometry was performed and results were analyzed. Results In COPD with diabetes mellitus patients (group 3), the lung functions were the least. Diabetes mellitus was also an independent risk factor for reduced lung functions as was seen in nonsmoking diabetic patients (group 1). Conclusion Pulmonary functions are reduced in DM independent of smoking.

Introduction The oral cavity and pharynx have a rich sensory system composed of specialized receptors. The integrity of oropharyngeal sensation is thought to be fundamental for safe and efficient swallowing. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are at risk for oropharyngeal sensory impairment due to frequent use of inhaled medications and comorbidities including gastroesophageal reflux disease. Objective This study aimed to describe and compare oral and oropharyngeal sensory function measured using noninstrumental clinical methods in adults with COPD and healthy controls. Method Participants included 27 adults (18 men, nine women) with a diagnosis of COPD and a mean age of 66.56 years ( SD = 8.68). The control group comprised 11 healthy adults (five men, six women) with a mean age of 60.09 years ( SD = 11.57). Spirometry measures confirmed reduced functional expiratory volumes (% predicted) in the COPD patients compared to the control participants. All participants completed a case history interview and underwent clinical evaluation of oral and oropharyngeal sensation by a speech-language pathologist. The sensory evaluation explored the detection of tactile and temperature stimuli delivered by cotton swab to six locations in the oral cavity and two in the oropharynx as well as identification of the taste of stimuli administered in 5-ml boluses to the mouth. Analyses explored the frequencies of accurate responses regarding stimulus location, temperature and taste between groups, and between age groups (“≤ 65 years” and “> 65 years”) within the COPD cohort. Results We found significantly higher frequencies of reported use of inhaled medications ( p < .001) and xerostomia ( p = .003) in the COPD cohort. Oral cavity thermal sensation ( p = .009) was reduced in the COPD participants, and a significant age-related decline in gustatory sensation was found in the COPD group ( p = .018). Conclusion This study found that most of the measures of oral and oropharyngeal sensation remained intact in the COPD group. Oral thermal sensation was impaired in individuals with COPD, and reduced gustatory sensation was observed in the older COPD participants. Possible links between these results and the use of inhaled medication by individuals with COPD are discussed.
