Article Abstract
In the United States, pediatric asthma is distributed geographically across lines of racialized segregation. We draw on emplacement, or the theory that embodied experiences and the material world are mutually informed, to situate such geographic trends within the narratives of 41 caregivers of children with asthma. Results suggest that caregivers identified and managed asthma-related risk with regard to the relational and structural conditions of three categories of locations: (1) houses, (2) neighborhoods, and (3) schools and other childhood institutions. Within each type of location, caregivers used emplaced knowledge and emplaced caregiving tactics to respond to asthma-related risk. Based on our findings, we identify critical intervention topics that are consistent with families' everyday lived experiences of place.

Modeling Joint Health Effects of Environmental Exposure Mixtures With Bayesian Additive Regression Trees.

Studying the association between mixtures of environmental exposures and health outcomes can be challenging due to issues such as correlation among the exposures and non-linearities or interactions in the exposure-response function. For this reason, one common strategy is to fit flexible nonparametric models to capture the true exposure-response surface. However, once such a model is fit, further decisions are required when it comes to summarizing the marginal and joint effects of the mixture on the outcome.

Objectives: Incorporating social determinants of health to identify distinct pediatric asthma patient groups can help stratify populations by their risk of adverse events, improving targeted outreach and care.
Methods: Insurance claims and enrollment data from the Arkansas All-Payer Claims Database identified 22 169 children aged 5-18 years with an asthma diagnosis in 2018 and continuous Medicaid enrollment in 2018 and 2019. The clustering approach used information on comorbid conditions, asthma controller medication intensity, total controller and reliever medications filled, zip code-level Child Opportunity Index, and rural-urban classification.
ST2 effector memory helper T cells are responsible for long-term asthma exacerbation leading to female-predominant airway inflammation.

Background: The risk of asthma exacerbation is intrinsic to female patients. Enhanced type 2 immune responses are considered to be associated with sustained increased susceptibility to asthma exacerbation in female patients; however, the mechanisms mediating this relationship remain unclear.
Methods: Using a Dermatophagoides farinae-induced asthma mouse model, asthma-related features were evaluated.
The association between hemoglobin-to-red cell distribution width ratio and asthma and asthma exacerbations: a cross-sectional study.

Department of Clinical Laboratory, Ganzhou People's Hospital, 17 Hongqi Dadao, Ganzhou, Jiangxi, China.
Background: The hemoglobin-to-red cell distribution width ratio (HRR) is a newly identified inflammatory biomarker associated with various inflammatory diseases. Asthma is a major global health burden and an inflammatory airway disease significantly affected by inflammation. This study primarily aims to evaluate the relationship between HRR and asthma, as well as asthma-related outcomes, including stable asthma and asthma exacerbations in the past year.

Background: Awareness of factors associated with life-threatening asthma attacks and asthma mortality is essential for risk prediction in asthma care. There is limited evidence to inform risk factors in children and young people (CYP). The aim of this systematic review is to synthesize existing data to report risk factors for life-threatening asthma attacks and asthma deaths in CYP.
