AI Article Synopsis
- - Air traffic growth is increasing worries about pollution and its harmful effects on nearby residents, especially those living close to large airports.
- - Occupational exposure to jet exhaust is a significant concern for airport workers, particularly regarding respiratory health, but current research is not sufficient to definitively link it to adverse health outcomes.
- - This review aims to assess what is known about airport-related pollution and its effects on respiratory health by analyzing existing studies on workplace exposures.
Article Abstract
Air traffic is increasing, raising concern about local pollution and its adverse health effects on the people living in the vicinity of large airports. However, the highest risk is probably occupational exposure due to proximity. Jet exhaust is one of the main concerns at an airport and may have a health impact, particularly on the respiratory tract. Current studies are neither numerous enough nor strong enough to prove this kind of association. Yet, more and more people work in airports, and occupational exposure to jet exhaust is a fact. The aim of this review was to evaluate the existing knowledge regarding the impact of airport pollution on respiratory health. We conducted systematic literature searches to examine workplace exposures.

Rising Burden of Colon and Rectum Cancer in China: An Analysis of Trends, Gender Disparities, and Projections to 2030.
Ann Surg Oncol
January 2025
Department of Medical Oncology, Clinical Oncology School of Fujian Medical University, Fujian Cancer Hospital, Fuzhou, Fujian, China.
Background: Colon and rectum cancer (CRC) is a major health burden in China, with notable gender disparities. This study was designed to analyze trends in CRC incidence, prevalence, and mortality from 1990 to 2021 and to project future trends.
Methods: Using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021, we examined CRC burden in China, including incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and years of life lost (YLLs).
Location of Care Delivery for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in the United States.
Am J Respir Crit Care Med
January 2025
University of Utah, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah, United States.
Rationale: Guidelines recommend patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) be referred to pulmonary hypertension (PH) centers, but little is known about where care is actually delivered in the United States (US).
Objectives: To use prescription patterns to estimate the proportion of PAH care delivered at US PH centers and explore factors associated with location of care.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed claims from the Komodo database in adults who received ≥1 PAH prescription between March 2021 and February 2022.

Secondhand vape exposure regulation of CFTR and immune function in cystic fibrosis.
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol
January 2025
Division of Pulmonology, Asthma, Cystic Fibrosis, and Sleep, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Secondhand smoke exposure (SHSe) is a public health threat for people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and other lung diseases. Primary smoking reduces CFTR channel function, the causative defect in CF. We reported that SHSe worsens respiratory and nutritional outcomes in CF by disrupting immune responses and metabolic signaling.
