Answer: Daily physical activity of patients with COPD is mainly associated with dynamic hyperinflation, regardless of severity classification.
[EX A]: yes

[EX Q]: Question: Is early systemic sclerosis : serum profiling of factors involved in endothelial , T-cell , and fibroblast interplay marked by elevated interleukin-33 levels?
Answer: Our study suggests that an endothelial, T-cell and fibroblast activation can be present in patients with early SSc and it is associated with a distinct profile of circulating factors involved in the cross-talk of these cells. The marked increase of IL-33 in early SSc patients suggests new routes of investigation of cell-cell dynamics in target tissues predating overt disease manifestations, thus opening to new therapeutic approaches.
[EX A]: yes

[EX Q]: Question: Do small concomitant vascular lesions influence rates of cognitive decline in patients with Alzheimer disease?
Answer: This clinicopathologic correlation study suggests that concomitant small cerebral infarcts with a total volume of less than 10 cm(3) do not significantly influence the overall rate of global cognitive decline in patients with AD. Arch Neurol. 2000;57:1474-1479
[EX A]:
no
