Article Synopsis
- Intense wildfires are increasingly impacting air quality, raising concerns about potential negative effects on cardiopulmonary health for people exposed to smoke, particularly in the Eastern US.
- A study aimed to examine the relationship between smoke from wildfires in Western Canada and respiratory diseases in various demographic groups in Eastern US populations, using data from the University of Maryland Medical System.
- Findings showed significantly higher rates of cardiopulmonary clinical encounters during "hotspot days" with elevated PM2.5 levels, indicating a correlation between increased pollution and health issues, especially during notable air quality deteriorations in June 2023.

Background: Delays in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment lead to worse survival and quality of life. Racial disparities in care timeliness have been reported, but few studies have examined access at multiple points along the care continuum (diagnosis, treatment initiation, treatment duration, and genomic testing).
Methods And Findings: The Carolina Breast Cancer Study (CBCS) Phase 3 is a population-based, case-only cohort (n = 2,998, 50% black) of patients with invasive breast cancer diagnoses (2008 to 2013).
The association of HIV status with triple-negative breast cancer in patients with breast cancer in South Africa: a cross-sectional analysis of case-only data from a prospective cohort study.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy diagnosed among women in South Africa, with the aggressive triple-negative subtype comprising approximately 15% of breast cancers in this population. South Africa has the largest population of people with HIV in the world. This study aims to evaluate the association between HIV status and the proportion of patients with breast cancer with the triple-negative subtype.

Department of Oncology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, USA.
Background: Oral mucositis affects about 20% of children undergoing high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), despite existing management strategies. Personalized HDMTX dosing, adjusted by pharmacokinetics and leukemia risk, has reduced mucositis incidence, but variations still occur with similar 24-h methotrexate levels.
Methods: This retrospective study investigated risk factors for oral mucositis under individualized methotrexate protocols.
