Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) consists of persistent pulmonary vascular obstruction on imaging and involves long-term functional limitations, with or without chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of both persistent pulmonary vascular defects and CTEPH after hospitalization in patients with COVID-19 and PE during a 2-year follow-up. METHODS A prospective observational study was carried out in a tertiary hospital center. Patients were hospitalized between March 2020 and December 2021 with a diagnosis of PE during SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients received anticoagulant treatment for at least 3 months and were followed up for 2 years. Between the third and fourth months after discharge, all patients were evaluated for the presence of residual thrombotic defects by CTPA and/or perfusion pulmonary scintigraphy. Clinical findings, lung function tests with DLCO, exercise capacity, and echocardiograms were also assessed. RESULTS Of the 133 patients included, 18% had persistent thrombotic defects on lung imaging at follow-up. The incidence of CTEPD was 0.75% at 2 years of follow-up. Patients with persistent defects were significantly older, had a higher prevalence of systemic arterial hypertension, higher D-dimer and NT-proBNP levels, and more severe PE at diagnosis. Furthermore, there was a higher prevalence of right ventricular dysfunction on echocardiogram at diagnosis of PE (25.0% vs. 2.7%, p = 0.006). This was the only variable independently related to persistent defects in multivariate analyses (OR: 8.13 [95% CI: 1.82-36.32], p = 0.006). CONCLUSION The persistence of thrombotic defects after PE is a common finding after SARS-CoV-2 infection, affecting 18% of the population. However, the incidence of CTEPH appears to be lower (0.75%) in COVID-19-related PE compared to that previously observed in PE unrelated to COVID-19.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cough capacity is assessed by measuring cough peak flow (CPF). However, this assessment could be altered by obstructive airway diseases. The aim was to assess measurement of cough capacity by CPF in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as correlations with pulmonary, respiratory muscle, and oropharyngeal function. METHODS Patients with COPD, and with neuromuscular disease, were selected as well as healthy subjects who had undergone respiratory muscle strength measurement in a healthcare setting. From this population, respiratory function values and lung and oropharyngeal muscle function were analysed. A subgroup of COPD patients underwent a videofluoroscopic swallow study. RESULTS Three hundred and seven subjects were included (59.3% COPD, 38.4% neuromuscular diseases, and 2.3% healthy). CPF was found to be statistically significantly decreased in the COPD group compared to both the healthy and neuromuscular disease groups. Of the COPD patients, 70% had a pathological decrease in CPF. There was only a direct correlation between CPF with the degree of bronchial obstruction and expiratory muscle strength. No alteration of inspiratory or oropharyngeal muscle function was found. CONCLUSIONS The use of CPF in COPD patients does not reflect cough capacity as it is influenced by the degree of bronchial obstruction. Therefore, new diagnostic tests to measure cough capacity should be considered, especially in patients with coexisting neuromuscular diseases and severe bronchial obstructive disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) infection have caused a significant impact on our health system, but there is limited evidence of approved drugs focused on its prevention. Our objective was to identify risk factors that can determine the presence of PASC, with special attention to the treatment received in the acute phase, and to describe the profile of persistent symptoms in a multidisciplinary Post-Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) Unit. METHODS This one-year prospective observational study included patients following an acute COVID-19 infection, irrespective of whether they required hospital admission. A standardized symptom questionnaire and blood sampling were performed at the first follow-up visit, and demographic and clinical electronic data were collected. We compared subjects with PASC with those who had fully recovered. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with PASC in hospitalized patients, and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess duration of symptoms according to disease severity and treatments received in the acute phase. RESULTS 1966 patients were evaluated; 1081 had mild disease, 542 moderate and 343 severe; around one third of the subjects had PASC, and were more frequently female, with obesity, asthma, and eosinophilia during acute COVID-19 disease. Patients who received treatment with dexamethasone and remdesivir during the course of the acute illness showed a lower median duration of symptoms, compared with those who received none of these treatments. CONCLUSION Treatment with dexamethasone and/or remdesivir may be useful to reduce the impact of PASC secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition, we identified female gender, obesity, asthma, and disease severity as risk factors for having PASC.

Abstract
Background: Loss of muscle mass and function are well-recognized systemic manifestations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Acute exacerbations, in turn, significantly contribute to upgrade these systemic comorbidities. Involvement of myogenic precursors in muscle mass maintenance and recovery is poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of the vascular systemic environment from stable and exacerbated COPD patients on the myogenic behavior of human muscle precursor cells (MPC) in vitro. Methods: Serum from healthy controls and from stable and exacerbated COPD patients (before and after Methylprednisolone treatment) was used to stimulate human MPC cultures. Proliferation analysis was assessed through BrdU incorporation assays. MPC differentiation was examined through real-time RT-PCR, western blot and immunofluorescence analysis. Results: Stimulation of MPCs with serum obtained from stable COPD patients did not affect myogenic precursor cell function. The vascular systemic environment during an acute exacerbation exerted a mitotic effect on MPCs without altering myogenic differentiation outcome. After Methylprednisolone treatment of acute exacerbated COPD patients, however, the mitotic effect was further amplified, but it was followed by a deficient differentiation capacity. Moreover, these effects were prevented when cells were co-treated with the glucocorticoid receptor antagonist Mifepristone. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that MPC capacity is inherently preserved in COPD patients, but is compromised after systemic administration of MP. This finding strengthens the concept that glucocorticoid treatment over the long term can negatively impact myogenic stem cell fate decisions and interfere with muscle mass recovery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Iron deficiency affects exercise capacity because of the critical role iron plays in the optimal functioning of skeletal muscle metabolism. We hypothesized that intravenous iron may improve exercise tolerance, quality of life (QoL), and daily physical activity (DPA) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS This was a placebo-controlled, single-blind, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial. Iron deficiency was defined as a ferritin level<100ng/mL or a ferritin level between 100 and 299ng/mL with a transferrin saturation<20%, with or without mild anaemia. Patients were randomized at a 2:1 ratio to receive intravenous ferric carboxymaltose or placebo. The primary objective was to investigate whether intravenous iron replacement improved endurance time from baseline by at least 33%. The secondary objectives were to evaluate impact on QoL using the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and on DPA by accelerometry. RESULTS We included 66 patients, 44 (66.7%) in the intervention group and 22 (33.3%) in the placebo group. Among patients receiving ferric carboxymaltose, 23 (52.3%) achieved the primary endpoint compared to 4 (18.2%) in the placebo group [p=0.009; relative risk 3.12, (95% CI, 1.19-8.12)]. CAT score decreased -3 (-6.0-1.3) points from baseline in the intervention group (p=0.007), in contrast to placebo group [-1 (-4.0-2.3) points, p=0.236] with no differences in DPA and adverse events in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Iron replacement improved exercise capacity and QoL in stable COPD patients with iron deficiency. The treatment was well tolerated. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION EudraCT 2016-001238-89.

Abstract
Whether the COVID-19 pandemic may have modified the clinical planning and course in bronchiectasis patients remains to be fully elucidated. We hypothesized that the COVID-19 pandemic may have influenced the management and clinical outcomes of bronchiectasis patients who were followed up for 12 months. In bronchiectasis patients (n = 30, 23 females, 66 years), lung function testing, disease severity [FEV1, age, colonization, radiological extension, dyspnea (FACED), exacerbation (EFACED)] and dyspnea scores, exacerbation numbers and hospitalizations, body composition, sputum microbiology, and blood analytical biomarkers were determined at baseline and after a one-year follow-up. Compared to baseline (n = 27, three patients dropped out), in bronchiectasis patients, a significant increase in FACED and EFACED scores, number of exacerbations, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was observed, while FEV1, ceruloplasmin, IgE, IgG, IgG aspergillus, IgM, and IgA significantly decreased. Patients presenting colonization by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) remained unchanged (27%) during follow-up. In bronchiectasis patients, FEV1 declined only after a one-year follow-up along with increased exacerbation numbers and disease severity scores, but not hospitalizations. However, a significant decrease in acute phase-reactants and immunoglobulins was observed at the one-year follow-up compared to baseline. Despite the relatively small cohort, the reported findings suggest that lung function impairment may not rely entirely on the patients’ inflammatory status.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) risk increases in patients with chronic respiratory diseases (COPD). MicroRNAs and redox imbalance are involved in lung tumorigenesis in COPD patients. Whether systemic alterations of those events may also take place in LC patients remains unknown. Our objectives were to assess the plasma levels of microRNAs, redox balance, and cytokines in LC patients with/without COPD. MicroRNAs (RT-PCR) involved in LC, oxidized DNA, MDA-protein adducts, GSH, TEAC, VEGF, and TGF-beta (ELISA) were quantified in plasma samples from non-LC controls (n = 45), LC-only patients (n = 32), and LC-COPD patients (n = 91). In LC-COPD patients compared to controls and LC-only, MDA-protein adduct levels increased, while those of GSH decreased, and two patterns of plasma microRNA were detected. In both LC patient groups, miR-451 expression was downregulated, while those of microRNA-let7c were upregulated, and levels of TEAC and TGF-beta increased compared to the controls. Correlations were found between clinical and biological variables. A differential expression profile of microRNAs was detected in patients with LC. Moreover, in LC patients with COPD, plasma oxidative stress levels increased, whereas those of GSH declined. Systemic oxidative and antioxidant markers are differentially expressed in LC patients with respiratory diseases, thus implying its contribution to the pathogenesis of tumorigenesis in these patients.

Abstract
In COPD patients, non-anemic iron deficiency (NAID) is a common systemic manifestation. We hypothesized that in COPD patients with NAID, iron therapy may improve systemic oxidative stress. The FACE (Ferinject assessment in patients with COPD and iron deficiency to improve exercise tolerance) study was a single-blind, unicentric, parallel-group, placebo-controlled clinical trial (trial registry: 2016-001238-89). Sixty-six patients were enrolled (randomization 2:1): iron arm, n = 44 and placebo arm, n = 22, with similar clinical characteristics. Serum levels of 3-nitrotyrosine, MDA-protein adducts, and reactive carbonyls, catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione, Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), and iron metabolism biomarkers were quantified in both groups. In the iron-treated patients compared to placebo, MDA-protein adducts and 3-nitrotyrosine serum levels significantly declined, while those of GSH increased and iron metabolism parameters significantly improved. Hepcidin was associated with iron status parameters. This randomized clinical trial evidenced that iron replacement elicited a decline in serum oxidative stress markers along with an improvement in GSH levels in patients with stable severe COPD. Hepcidin may be a surrogate biomarker of iron status and metabolism in patients with chronic respiratory diseases. These findings have potential clinical implications in the management of patients with severe COPD.

Abstract
There is evidence that iron plays a key role in the adequate functioning of skeletal muscle. While it has been demonstrated that nonanemic iron deficiency (NAID) affects exercise tolerance and response to exercise training in patients with COPD, the impact on daily physical activities (DPAs) remains unknown. Eighteen COPD patients with NAID (ferritin <100 ng/mL or ferritin 100–299 ng/mL with a transferrin saturation <20%) and 18 COPD patients without this abnormality, matched for age, gender, and the degree of airflow limitation (control group), were enrolled to the study. The primary outcome was the level of DPA assessed by accelerometers. Patients were (mean [SD]) 66 (7) years and were mostly male (70%) and former smokers (52%). Their forced expiratory volume at 1 second was 41 (16)% predicted, carbon monoxide diffusing capacity was 47 (14)% predicted and oxygen arterial pressure reached 70 (11) mmHg. DPA and the number of steps per day were lower in NAID COPD patients compared with controls (physical activity level 1.39 vs 1.59, P<0.05; and 4,402 vs 6,975 steps/day, P<0.05, respectively). The percentage of patients with increased time spent sitting per day (>6 hours) was higher in patients with NAID compared with controls (73% vs 37%, P<0.05). In addition, the percentage of patients doing moderate to vigorous physical activity per day (>3 metabolic equivalents of task, at least 30 minutes) was lower in this group (66% vs 100%, P<0.05). The presence of iron deficiency was associated with reduced DPA in COPD patients. Further studies are needed to evaluate iron reposition and their impact on the level of physical activity in these patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inspiratory muscle strength is usually assessed thorough the determination of static mouth pressure (PImax). However, since this manoeuvre presents certain problems, alternative techniques have been developed over the last few years. One of the most promising is determination of sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP). AIM To evaluate SNIP assessment as an alternative for the evaluation of the inspiratory muscle strength. METHODS Subjects were consecutively included and assigned to one of three different groups: control (8), COPD patients (23) and patients with neuromuscular disorders (21). Different maximal inspiratory pressures were determined: (a) dynamic in the esophagus (maximal sniff Pes, reference variable), (b) PImax, and (c) SNIP. RESULTS Both SNIP and MIP showed an excellent correlation with Pes (r=0.835 and 0.752, respectively, P<0.05 for both). SNIP/Pes intra-class correlation coefficients were 0.585 (CI 95%: −0.097 to 0.901) in controls, 0.569 (CI 95%: −0.048 to 0.836) in COPD patients, and 0.840 (CI 95%: 0.459 to 0.943) in neuromuscular disorders, respectively. For PImax/Pes, these values were 0.602 CI 95%: −0.108 to 0.933), 0.418 (CI 95%: −0.108 to 0.761), and 0.712 (CI 95%: 0.378 a 0.882). Moreover, both SNIP and PImax showed 100% sensitivity in the three groups of subjects, although specificities were 100%, 69% and 75% for SNIP, and 83%, 54% and 75% for PImax, respectively. CONCLUSIONS SNIP is a good physiological marker of inspiratory muscle strength. Its role is likely to complement that of PImax.
