Article Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the main factors influencing air quality in Tangshan during COVID-19, covering three different periods: the COVID-19 period, the Level I response period, and the Spring Festival period. Comparative analysis and the difference-in-differences (DID) method were used to explore differences in air quality between different stages of the epidemic and different years. During the COVID-19 period, the air quality index (AQI) and the concentrations of six conventional air pollutants (PM, PM, SO, NO, CO, and O-8h) decreased significantly compared to 2017-2019. For the Level I response period, the reduction in AQI caused by COVID-19 control measures were 29.07%, 31.43%, and 20.04% in February, March, and April of 2020, respectively. During the Spring Festival, the concentrations of the six pollutants were significantly higher than those in 2019 and 2021, which may be related to heavy pollution events caused by unfavorable meteorological conditions and regional transport. As for the further improvement in air quality, it is necessary to take strict measures to prevent and control air pollution while paying attention to meteorological factors.

Nocturnal Oxygen Therapy for Central Sleep Apnea in Patients with Heart Failure: A Multi-site, Double-blind, Sham-controlled Randomized Clinical Trial (LOFT-HF).
Ann Am Thorac Soc

Rationale: There are insufficient data to inform the management of central sleep apnea (CSA) in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Nocturnal oxygen therapy (NOT) has been postulated to benefit CSA patients with HFrEF, but has not been rigorously studied.

Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, United States;
Background: Wildfires significantly affect air quality in the Western United States. Although prior research has linked wildfire smoke PM to respiratory health outcomes, these studies typically have limited geographic and temporal coverage, lacking evidence from multiple states over extended periods.
Methods: We obtained data on over 6 million emergency department (ED) visits for respiratory diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), upper respiratory infections (URI), and bronchitis, from five states in the Western US during 2007-2018.

Objective: To describe the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of individuals exposed to smoking or biomass smoke and followed at primary health care (PHC) centers across three states in Brazil.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional multicenter study including patients followed at any of four PHC centers in Brazil. Patients ≥ 35 years of age who were smokers or former smokers, or were exposed to biomass smoke were included, the exception being those with physical/mental disabilities and those who were pregnant.

Background: Admission to shared hospital rooms are a risk factor of healthcare-associated (HA) SARS-CoV-2. Quantifying the impact of engineering controls such as ventilation and filtration is essential to informing resource utilization and infection prevention guidelines.
Methods: Multicenter test-negative study of patients exposed to SARS-CoV-2 in shared rooms across five hospitals between January and October, 2022.
