Article Synopsis
- Childhood asthma shows significant racial disparities, with Black children facing higher hospitalization and death rates than White children, highlighting the need for comprehensive interventions in various environments.* -
- The study aimed to evaluate whether a Community Health Worker (CHW) intervention connecting primary care, homes, and schools improves asthma control for low-income children aged 5 to 13 with asthma.* -
- Conducted over four years in Philadelphia, the intervention included asthma management and care coordination, but results were impacted by COVID-19, leading to further analysis to assess effectiveness before the pandemic.*
Asthma evidence-based interventions (EBI) are implemented in the home, school, community or primary care setting. Although families are engaged in one setting, they often have to navigate challenges in another setting. Our objective is to design and implement a comprehensive plan which integrates EBI's and connects the four sectors in underserved communities such as Philadelphia.

We conducted a single-arm open-label prospective pilot study to investigate the effects of testosterone supplementation on central and peripheral insulin sensitivity in older men with upper body obesity and insulin resistance.
Subjects/methods: Twenty men (62-78 years-old) with morning testosterone levels <13.
Objectives: To determine the durability of anabolic effects and adverse events (AEs) after stopping testosterone and growth hormone supplementation in older men.
Design: Secondary analysis of a double-masked, randomized controlled trial of testosterone gel (5 or 10 g/daily) plus rhGH (0, 3 or 5 μg/kg/day) with follow-up of outcomes 3 months later.
Participants: A total of 108 community-dwelling 65- to 90-year-old men.
Context: Impairments in the pituitary-gonadal axis with aging are associated with loss of muscle mass and function and accumulation of upper body fat.
Objectives: We tested the hypothesis that physiological supplementation with testosterone and GH together improves body composition and muscle performance in older men.
Design, Setting, And Participants: One hundred twenty-two community-dwelling men 70.
