Background: Asthma, a chronic respiratory disease characterized by airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness, exhibits significant heterogeneity in its presentation. This study aimed to investigate age-related comorbidity patterns, seasonal variations, demographic trends among cohort of asthma patients within defined geographical region. Methods: A retrospective analysis 13,695 admitted Romanian hospital from 2013 2023 was conducted. Comorbidity patterns were analyzed using network across age groups, investigated through spectral analysis. Results: Asthma admissions exhibited non-linear with female predominance (57.72%). The pandemic significantly impacted admission rates, males experiencing greater COVID-19-related effects. Female showed distinct potentially linked domestic responsibilities. evolved age, shifting lifestyle factors younger complex cardiovascular neurological disorders older groups. 60-69 group the highest integration communities. Conclusions: revealed that management focus should shift patient itself addressing underlying comorbidities. Understanding these may help personalize treatment strategies improve long-term prognosis for patients.

(1) Background: Human exposure to air pollution may induce inflammation and oxidative stress. In addition, extreme temperatures relative humidity cause vasoconstriction abnormal blood cell function. These harmful effects increase cardiovascular disease mortality. The of climatic factors on mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are relatively unknown. (2) Methods: We used AMI data collected from Taiwan’s Medical Quality Indicator. Air pollutant were the Taiwanese Environmental Protection Administration, temperature obtained Central Weather Administration. estimated using Poisson regression analyze risk (RR) associated pollutants factors. (3) Results: RR for every 4.7 μg/m3 particulate matter a diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) was 1.086 (95% CI: 1.033–1.142, p = 0.001). 10.3 ppb ozone concentration 1.095 1.011–1.185, 0.025). 6.5 °C decrease 1.087 1.024–1.154, 0.006) (4) Conclusions: This study revealed that higher PM2.5 concentrations, along cold weather, individuals AMI. government must develop policies promote prevention, mitigate pollution, alert residents about poor quality thereby promoting sustainable human health.

Abstract Background The objective of this study was to examine the associations blood inflammatory phenotypes with acute pediatric asthma exacerbations during different seasons and COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A retrospective conducted involving 32,160 patients from January 2008 December 2021. Asthma were categorized based on low (L) high (H) eosinophils (E) neutrophils (N) (LBE/HBE: ≥ 0.25 × 10 9 /L LBN/HBN: 5 /L, respectively) logistic regression used odds ratio (OR) outcome variables. Results increase associated a 1.015-fold (95% CI: 1.009–1.021) 1.057-fold in OR 1.026–1.088) for hospitalized patients. An HBE/LBN phenotype respective 1.232-fold 1.081–1.404) 1.248-fold 1.101–1.414) before pandemic winter autumn seasons. However, an LBE/LBN 0.873-fold 0.769–0.991), 0.872-fold 0.771–0.986), 0.813-fold 0.709–0.932) decrease winter, spring summer Conclusions had higher risk among autumn, while lower spring, summer. Impact Blood have been indicated potential influence development severity. increased autumn. Eosinophil neutrophil predominance exhibited exacerbations.
