Despite having highest proportion of fast-twitch fibers, patients with (very) severe #COPD displayed a 30% lower muscle carnosine concentration than patients with mild/moderate COPD. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34323590/ Jana DB Chris Burtin TeamDerave Kenneth Verboven @RWS_UHasselt

Lower preoperative muscle mass and physical performance are associated with reduced survival in non-small-cell lung cancer patients. #cachexia #myotwitter onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jc…

Kirsten Quadflieg presented her work about PA during & after AECOPD during a brilliant poster session! ◾️ The impact of an AECOPD on PA is sign! ◾️ An improvement is seen at 1 month after discharge But the majority remains physically inactive #ERSCongress @RWS_UHasselt

Although PA coaching only has limited effects on exercise capacity, we should encourage patients to be active🚶as it is related to mortality and hospitalization risk in patients with COPD! Thank you Heleen Demeyer for this interesting talk 👏#ERSCongres ERS
