We compare the inspiratory and expiratory regional lung densities between different levels of COPD severity (as assessed by the GOLD scale and by the BODE index), and to assess the relationship between regional lung densities and functional lung parameters. ⋯ There are differences in lung attenuation measurements by HRCT between the varying levels of COPD severity as assessed by the GOLD scale.

A study of the bibliometry and areas of the research groups of Archivos de Bronconeumología (2003-2007).
Scientific cooperation is essential for the advance of biomedical research. Scientists set up informal groups to work together on common issues, who are the main units in the research funding system. Bibliometric and Social Network Analysis methods allow informal groups in scientific papers to be identified and characterised. The objective of the study is to identify research groups in Archivos de Bronconeumología between 2003 and 2007 period with the aim of characterizing their scientific collaboration patterns and research areas. ⋯ The scientific production of a large number of Respiratory System Spanish research groups is published in Archivos de Bronconeumología. A notable collaboration and citation rate has been observed. Nevertheless, it is still essential to encourage inter-regional and international collaboration.
