The combustion of fossil fuels contributes to air pollution (AP), which was linked about 8.79 million global deaths in 2018, mainly due respiratory and cardiovascular-related effects. Among these, particulate (PM2.5) stands out as a major risk factor for heart health, especially during vulnerable phases. Our prior study showed that premature exposure 1,2-naphthoquinone (1,2-NQ), chemical found diesel exhaust particles (DEP), exacerbated asthma adulthood. Moreover, increased concentration 1,2-NQ contributed airway inflammation triggered by PM2.5, employing neurogenic pathways related the up-regulation transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1). However, impact early-life (1,2-NQ) on atrial fibrillation (AF) has not yet been investigated. This aims investigate how inhaling early life affects autonomic adrenergic system role played TRPV1 these disturbances. C57Bl/6 neonate male mice were exposed (100 nM) or its vehicle at 6, 8, 10 days life. Early impairs responses right atria without markedly affecting cholinergic responses. ECG analysis revealed altered rhythmicity young mice, suggesting sympathetic nervous activity. Furthermore, affected β1-adrenergic agonist-mediated positive chronotropism, prevented metoprolol, β1 blocker. Capsazepine, blocker but TRPC5 blocker, reversed 1,2-NQ-induced cardiac changes. In conclusion, AP results an elevated developing dysfunction, potentially leading arrhythmia age.

ABSTRACT Invasive mold-associated cutaneous disease is a rare but potentially catastrophic consequence of trauma. However, invertebrate bites are not well recognized as mechanism for the inoculation fungi into subcutaneous tissue that can also result in severe infections. Invertebrates often carry with human pathogenic potential part their microbiome, and break skin, providing conduit them to penetrate tissues where establishment infection produce serious skin soft fungal diseases. In this essay, we review existing data bite-associated invasive infections (IBA-cIFIs) consider consequences global warming on epidemiology. Climate changes will be associated range invertebrates adaptation microbes warmer temperatures. Fungal higher temperatures defeat mammalian protective barrier both more different IBA-cIFIs.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Human activities have greatly influenced global temperatures, leading to climate change warming. This narrative review aims explore the relationship between immune system, focusing on how environmental stressors can affect regulation, both hyperactivity suppression. Methods A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed Google Scholar for peer‐reviewed studies published up June 2024. The terms included “climate change,” “human health,” “infection,” “immunity,” “disease.” Inclusion criteria were based relevance, originality, accessibility. Results Exposure elevated temperatures significantly impair system cells, an overproduction of signaling molecules that promote inflammation. Temperature fluctuations been shown influence various aspects adaptive response, including cell mobilization, antigen processing presentation, lymphocyte trafficking activation, functionality B T cells. Notably, some research suggests heat stress negatively impacts differentiation, replication, proportion, resulting decreased immunoglobulin cytokine production, contributing immunosuppression. Additionally, change‐related exposures compromise epithelial barriers skin, lungs, gut, microbial dysbiosis, dysregulation. Furthermore, factors such as temperature variations, humidity, air pollutant levels may exacerbate prevalence infectious diseases, measles HIV, with varying acute, chronic, latent infections, further variability. Conclusion Climate change, particularly increased function, heightened inflammatory responses, Future should focus developing sustainable management strategies enhance health resilience face ongoing climatic changes.

Rhinitis arises from either allergic or non-allergic inflammation of the nasal mucosa, characterized by infiltration inflammatory cells into tissue and secretions, along with structural alterations in mucosa. The pathways through which air pollution affects rhinitis may diverge those affecting asthma. This article aims to review effects diverse pollutants on nose, correlation climate change pollution, how they aggravate symptoms patients rhinitis.

Abstract The skin serves as the first protective barrier for nonspecific immunity and encompasses a vast network of skin‐associated immune cells. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is prevalent inflammatory disease that affects individuals all ages races, with complex pathogenesis intricately linked to genetic, environmental factors, dysfunction well dysfunction. Individuals diagnosed AD frequently exhibit genetic predispositions, characterized by mutations impact structural integrity barrier. This leads release alarmins, activating type 2 pathway recruiting various cells skin, where they coordinate cutaneous responses. In this review, we summarize experimental models provide an overview its therapeutic interventions. We focus on elucidating intricate interplay between system regulatory mechanisms, commonly used treatments AD, aiming systematically understand cellular molecular crosstalk in AD‐affected skin. Our overarching objective novel insights inform potential clinical interventions reduce incidence AD.

ABSTRACT Objectives A nationwide study of the impact high temperature on respiratory disease hospitalizations among older adults (65+) living in large urban centers. Methods Daily rates short-stay, inpatient were examined with respect to variations ZIP-code-level daily mean 120 largest US cities between 2000-2017. For each city, we estimated cumulative associations (lag-days 0-6) warm-season temperatures (June-September) and cause-specific using time-stratified conditional quasi-Poisson regression distributed lag non-linear models. We meta-regression updated city-specific via best linear unbiased prediction. With stratified models, explored effect modification by age, sex, race (Black/white). Results reported as percent change at (95th percentile) compared median for outcome, demographic-group, metropolitan area. Excess hospitalization days above temperatures. At temperatures, observed increases all-cause [1.2 (0.4, 2.0)], primarily driven an increase tract infections [1.8 (0.6, 3.0)], chronic diseases/respiratory failure (0.0, 2.4)]. East North Central, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Pacific accounted 98.5% excess burden. By demographic group, disproportionate burdens heat-related oldest beneficiaries (85+ years), Black South Atlantic cities. Conclusion This found robust impacts inflammatory fibrotic diseases adults. The geographic variation suggests that contextual factors account burdens.
