Wildfires and Atopic Diseases: A Review

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildfire smoke is a major environmental health threat that has increased in frequency and severity in recent years. A hazardous component of wildfire smoke is particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5). There is evidence to suggest that exposure to wildfire PM2.5 may increase the risk of developing or exacerbating atopic diseases, such as asthma ...

Climate Change, Air Quality, and Pollen Allergies—State of the Art and Recommendations for Research and Public Health

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allergies are one of the major health challenges of our time, associated with a high individual burden of disease and high costs for the healthcare system. Given their prevalence, allergies are also highly relevant from a public health perspective. The development of allergic diseases is multifactorial. In addition to individual factors (e.g.,

An extreme type of new onset refractory status epilepticus with stimulus‐induced seizures in pharmacological isoelectric states

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Status epilepticus (SE) is a common neurological emergency associated with high morbidity and mortality. SE is classified as refractory when it persists despite benzodiazepine and second‐line antiseizure medication. Managing refractory SE in the intensive care setting often requires high doses of sedative drugs, which can induce ...

Quality Regulation and Unexpected Gaming: Evidence From Mandating Flight Delay Compensation

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Policies that target a single aspect of agents' motivation may lead to their diminished efforts in other areas. This paper examines the effect of the European Union's flight delay compensation policy on flight on‐time performance by exploiting a unique policy variation in a difference‐in‐differences framework.
