DiscussionWe used a representative sample of UK English primary care patients with COPD to evaluate the incidence and 10 year risk of CVD at the time of COPD diagnosis and determined to what extent QRISK3 can accurately predict CVD risk in people living with COPD. We showed that for both men and women, the incidence of CVD in people with COPD is substantially higher than in the general population, particularly among younger people with COPD.

Abstract Acetalization has been commonly adopted to realize the improvement on the water resistance and mechanical properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) composite fibers. However, acetalized PVA fibers only have a very low concentration of hydroxyl groups on the surface and thus have poor dyeing performance. In this case, hydroxyl-rich nanocellulose (NC) offers a fascinating solution for improving the dyeing properties of PVA fibers.
