Living conditions play a major role in health and well-being, particularly for the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. Depleted housing contributes to impairment and development of disease, but how it impacts body resiliency during exposure to environmental stressors is unknown. This study examined the effect of depleted (DH) versus enriched housing (EH) on cardiopulmonary function and subsequent responses to wildfire smoke.

Because of this operating principle, they produce substantially fewer and lower levels of tobacco smoke toxicants than combustible cigarette smoke produced when tobacco is burnt, which occurs at much higher temperatures of around 900 °C. This paper analyses data on a THP, glo™, and assesses whether its use would result in reduced health risks compared to the health risks of smoking cigarettes.

- * The study examined 70 children admitted to Evelina London Children's Hospital during a specific period, highlighting the link between ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and the severity of PIMS-TS.
- * Findings revealed that children from deprived areas and key worker families experienced longer hospital stays, with black children having notably higher admission durations and ventilation needs.
Aim: This study aimed to measure sound exposure during neonatal retrieval, determine whether this varied with mode of transport, and compare noise exposure to recommended levels in neonatal intensive care units. We also aimed to assess the acceptability of using a smartphone application to measure sound.
Setting: Neonatal retrieval service in Brisbane, Australia.
Objective: This study aimed to measure the light levels neonates would be exposed to during retrieval, determine whether this varied with transport mode, and compare them with recommended light exposure in neonatal intensive care units. We also aimed to determine the ease of use and acceptability of using the smartphone application.
Setting: A neonatal retrieval service in Brisbane, Australia.
