The 45 contributions discuss therapeutic approaches to enhance quality of life and modify the course of COPD, solutions to common surgical dilemmas, techniques to increase stability and facilitate rehabilitation in patient care, depression and anxiety in patients, pathophysiological factors contributing to dyspnea and exercise limitation, and pharmacotherapy.
