[The effect of chronic diseases on the future duration of flight operations for pilots and navigators]
Abstract:
The analysis of the physical fitness disqualification of 1433 pilots and navigators indicates that the coming time of flying activities (CTFA) is a convenient index for predicting the flight longevity. In some cases the CTFA differs mainly due to a different disqualification rate during a year after identification of a disease. In individuals pronounced fit for flying activity the CTFA depends in the main on the age but differs little in some diseases.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
