    Abstract Objectives: Asthma disproportionately affects Black people and people with low incomes, but Medicaid expansion (hereinafter, expansion) data on these populations are limited. We investigated health care use among adults with asthma, before and after expansion, and examined whether asthma-related health care use after expansion varied by demographic characteristics.
    Methods: We analyzed data from the 2011-2013 and 2015-2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Adult Asthma Call-Back Survey on participants aged 18-64 years with current asthma and low incomes in 23 US states. We assessed 5 asthma-related outcomes, including medical visits (routine and emergency) and medication use, for expansion and nonexpansion groups. We used
    Results: Primary analyses (N = 10 796) found no significant associations between expansion and any outcome. Analyses stratified by race and ethnicity found no significant changes (eg, asthma controller medication use among non-Hispanic Black participants in the expansion group was 24.1% [95% CI, 14.4%-37.5%] in 2011-2013 and 35.5% [95% CI, 27.0%-45.1%] in 2015-2019;
    Conclusions: Investigating factors other than health insurance (eg, social determinants of health) that influence the use of asthma-related health care could advance knowledge of potential strategies to advance health equity for adults with asthma and lower incomes.

    Abstract Background: The health impacts of the rapid transition to the use of electric vehicles are largely unexplored. We completed a scoping review to assess the state of the evidence on use of battery electric and hybrid electric vehicles and health.
    Methods: We conducted a literature search of MEDLINE, Embase, Global Health, CINAHL, Scopus, and Environmental Science Collection databases for articles published January 1990 to January 2024. We included articles if they presented observed or modeled data on the association between battery electric or hybrid electric cars, trucks, or buses and health-related outcomes. We abstracted data and summarized results.
    Results: Out of 897 reviewed articles, 52 met our inclusion criteria. The majority of included articles examined transitions to the use of electric vehicles (n = 49, 94%), with fewer studies examining hybrid electric vehicles (n = 11, 21%) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (n = 8, 15%). The most common outcomes examined were premature death (n = 41, 79%) and monetized health outcomes such as medical expenditures (n = 33, 63%). We identified only one observational study on the impact of electric vehicles on health; all other studies reported modeled data. Almost every study (n = 51, 98%) reported some evidence of a positive health impact of transitioning to electric or hybrid electric vehicles, although magnitudes of association varied. There was a paucity of information on the environmental justice implications of vehicle transitions.
    Conclusions: The results of the current literature on electric vehicles and health suggest an overall positive health impact of transitioning to electric vehicles. Additional observational studies would help expand our understanding of the real-world health effects of electric vehicles. Future research focused on the environmental justice implications of vehicle fleet transitions could provide additional information about the extent to which the health benefits occur equitably across populations.

    Abstract Introduction: Among U.S. adolescents, the knowledge that air pollution can impact health is relatively high and varies by the demographics of the respondents and the places they live, but the influence of asthma status is unknown. This study assesses the role of asthma in U.S. adolescents' awareness, perceptions, and behaviors related to air pollution.
    Methods: In 2020, data were analyzed from 817 adolescents aged 12-17 years who responded to the 2020 Porter Novelli Public Services YouthStyles survey, a nationally representative survey of U.S. adolescents. Respondents self-reported having or having had asthma in the past year and their awareness, perceptions, and behaviors related to air pollution. For each aspect of air quality awareness, perception, and behavior, weighted percentages of responses were calculated by asthma status.
    Results: Overall, an estimated 11.5% of U.S. adolescents self-reported asthma. Awareness that air pollution can impact health, awareness that respondents can limit their air pollution exposure, and having heard or read about air quality alerts were similar among adolescents with and without asthma, with some differences reported in where they heard or read about air quality alerts. Those with asthma reported discussing with a health professional about ways to limit exposure more frequently than those without asthma.
    Conclusions: Despite the well-known risk of asthma exacerbations from air pollution exposure, air quality awareness was similar among adolescents with and without asthma. These findings reveal the areas in which air quality awareness and behaviors to reduce exposure can be improved among adolescents with and without asthma.

    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to assess U.S. adolescents' perceptions and knowledge about air quality and their behaviors aimed to reduce air pollution exposure and whether they vary by demographic characteristics.
    Methods: We analyzed data from the Porter Novelli Public Services YouthStyles survey, a nationally representative survey of U.S. adolescents aged 12-17 years. In survey years 2015-2018, a total of 3,547 adolescents self-reported awareness, perceptions, and behaviors related to air pollution. We calculated weighted percentages of respondents reporting each aspect of air quality awareness, perception, and behaviors overall and by categories of age, gender, parental education, metropolitan status, region, and survey year.
    Results: Overall, an estimated 81% of U.S. adolescents thought outdoor air pollution could impact health, 52% thought there were things they could do to limit their or their family's exposure, 19% were aware of air quality alerts, 46% of those who thought or were informed air quality was bad did something differently, and 19% always or usually avoided busy roads to reduce air pollution exposure; differences were reported by some demographic variables.
    Conclusions: Among U.S. adolescents, awareness that air pollution could impact health was relatively high. However, gaps were found in the awareness of the potential impacts and other aspects of awareness and perceptions related to air pollution and the engagement in behaviors to reduce exposure, some of which varied by demographic characteristics. These results can be used to inform interventions that increase awareness and behaviors to reduce air pollution exposures among U.S. adolescents.

    Abstract Most commonly diagnosed cancer pathologies in the pediatric population comprise leukemias and cancers of the nervous system. The percentage of cancer survivors increased from approximatively 50% to 80% thanks to improvements in medical treatments and the introduction of new chemotherapies. However, as a consequence, heart disease has become the main cause of death in the children due to the cardiotoxicity induced by chemotherapy treatments. The use of different cardiovascular biomarkers, complementing data obtained from electrocardiogram, echocardiography cardiac imaging, and evaluation of clinical symptoms, is considered a routine in clinical diagnosis, prognosis, risk stratification, and differential diagnosis. Cardiac troponin and natriuretic peptides are the best-validated biomarkers broadly accepted in clinical practice for the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome and heart failure, although many other biomarkers are used and several potential markers are currently under study and possibly will play a more prominent role in the future. Several studies have shown how the measurement of cardiac troponin (cTn) can be used for the early detection of heart damage in oncological patients treated with potentially cardiotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs. The advent of high sensitive methods (hs-cTnI or hs-cTnT) further improved the effectiveness of risk stratification and monitoring during treatment cycles.

    Abstract Objective: A better understanding of the impacts of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on emergency department (ED) visits for asthma is needed to improve asthma control.
    Methods: Using data from the National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP), we assessed changes in average weekly asthma ED visits in the United States in 3 surveillance periods: 1) March 15, 2020-January 2, 2021; 2) January 3, 2021-January 1, 2022; and 3) January 2-March 5, 2022, relative to pre-pandemic comparison periods between December 30, 2018 and December 28, 2019. For each surveillance period, we assessed changes in asthma ED visits by age group and sex.
    Results: For the surveillance period beginning March 15, 2020, average weekly asthma ED visits declined 31% relative to what was observed during the comparison period - that is, from 45,276 visits/week in 2019 to 31,374 visits/week in 2020. Declines of over 19% and 26% were observed for 2021 and 2022, respectively, relative to the comparison periods. In all surveillance periods, the largest declines occurred among children, especially those ages 0-4 (74%) and 5-11 (66%) years.
    Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted asthma ED visits in the United States. The impact was greater among children than adults, as ED visits among children were notably lower during all three pandemic surveillance periods than during the corresponding pre-pandemic periods. Additional information about the roles of behaviors of patients with asthma and changes in asthma care might improve our understanding of the reasons underlying these observed changes.

    Abstract Background: Little is known about the role of air quality in fatal asthma exacerbations among children.
    Methods: We collected information about 80 deaths that occurred in North Carolina from 2001 through 2016, among children aged 5-17 years, with asthma identified as the primary cause of death. We linked information about each death with county-level estimates of particulate matter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5) and ozone (O3). Using the linked data, we conducted a case-crossover analysis of associations between PM2.5 and O3 lagged by 3-5 days with the odds of fatal asthma exacerbations.
    Results: In the highest tertile of PM2.5 lag(3-5), the odds of a fatal exacerbation of asthma were more than twice the odds in the lowest tertile (odds ratio = 2.2; 95% confidence interval = 1.1, 4.6).
    Conclusion: These findings from North Carolina provide evidence to support the hypothesis that ambient air pollution increases the risk of fatal exacerbations of asthma among children.
