Suboptimal Asthma Status May Be Linked to Less Physical Activity in Urban Children
Interventions designed to enhance physical activity in urban children with asthma need to address both the management of asthma and physical activity.
Chemotherapy Improves Survival in Older Patients With NSCLC
Use of chemotherapy among patients aged 80 years and older with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was linked to longer overall survival.
FDA Clamping Down on Abuse of an OTC Decongestant
Makers of inhalers that contain the nasal decongestant propylhexedrine should make design changes to prevent misuse, the FDA says.
Fine Particles From Wildfire Smoke Impact Children’s Respiratory Health
Exposure to wildfire-specific airborne fine particles with diameter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5) is more harmful for children’s respiratory health than exposure to PM2.5 from other sources.
Prenatal, Postnatal Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter Linked to Allergic Rhinitis
Development of allergic rhinitis in children is significantly associated with prenatal and postnatal exposure to fine particulate matter.
Long-Term Exposure to Particulate Matter Increases CV Mortality Risk in COPD
In adults with COPD, long-term exposure to PM2.5 was associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular mortality.
