India is anticipated to grow its total energy consumption and CO emissions by more than any other country over the next two decades. India will have to attract around $400 billion in financing to realize its 500 GW target of renewable energy by 2030.

- The study investigates the use of short-acting ß-agonist (SABA) and maintenance therapy in patients with mild persistent asthma who experienced serious exacerbations, categorized as hospital visits or urgent care needs.
- Analyzed data from over 323,000 asthma patients from 2010 to 2017 revealed that prior to serious exacerbations, more patients filled SABA prescriptions compared to maintenance therapy, but after the event, they shifted to filling maintenance medications more frequently.
- The findings suggest a potential "window of opportunity" to improve treatment strategies for preventing serious exacerbations by timely adjusting medication types before and after such events.
Background: Understanding the distinct immunologic responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection among pediatric populations is pivotal in navigating the COVID-19 pandemic and informing future public health strategies. This study aimed to identify factors associated with heightened antibody responses in children and adolescents to identify potential unique immune dynamics in this population.
Methods: Data collected between July and December 2023 from the Texas Coronavirus Antibody REsponse Survey (Texas CARES), a statewide prospective population-based antibody survey among 1-to-19-year-old participants, were analyzed.
