The "Reading the Mind in the Eyes" Test revised version: a study with normal adults, and adults with Asperger syndrome or high-functioning autism.
TLDR
The Revised Eyes Test has improved power to detect subtle individual differences in social sensitivity and was inversely correlated with the Autism Spectrum Quotient (the AQ), a measure of autistic traits in adults of normal intelligence.

Validity of physical activity monitors during daily life in patients with COPD
TLDR
The results of this study should guide users in choosing valid activity monitors for research or for clinical use in patients with chronic diseases such as COPD.

Validity of activity monitors in health and chronic disease: a systematic review
TLDR
Since activity monitors are less accurate at slow walking speeds and information about validated activity monitors in chronic disease populations is lacking, proper validation studies in these populations are needed prior to their inclusion in clinical trials.

Validity of Six Activity Monitors in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Comparison with Indirect Calorimetry
TLDR
The Dynaport MiniMod, Actigraph GT3X and SenseWear Armband (all triaxial monitors) are the most valid monitors during standardized physical activities.

Determinants and outcomes of physical activity in patients with COPD: a systematic review
TLDR
Physical activity level in COPD is consistently associated with mortality and exacerbations, but there is poor evidence about determinants of physical activity, including the impact of treatment.

The PROactive instruments to measure physical activity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TLDR
Physical activity was assessed in a 6-week, randomised, two-way cross-over, multicentre study using PROactive draft questionnaires (daily and clinical visit versions) and two activity monitors and indicated the concept of physical activity in COPD had two domains, labelled “amount” and “difficulty”.

Progression of physical inactivity in COPD patients: the effect of time and climate conditions – a multicenter prospective cohort study
TLDR
COPD patients demonstrate a significant decrease in PA over 1 year follow-up, which is further affected by hours of rainfall, but not by other climate considerations.

Determinants and outcomes of physical activity in patients with COPD
TLDR
Current literature allows drafting a conceptual model with determinants and outcomes of PA in COPD patients, and PA was consistently related to mortality and exacerbations/hospitalizations.
Does a single Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolation predict COPD mortality?
TLDR
This nested case–control study investigated whether the isolation of P. aeruginosa in the sputum of a general COPD population was associated with long-term mortality.

Physical inactivity and risk of hospitalisation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
TLDR
The results indicate that less physically active patients with COPD were more likely to be admitted to hospital, and with a lower level of physical activity, the patients tended to have shorter walking times as well as spend fewer hours outdoors.
