The growing impact of air quality on lung-related illness: a narrative review
CONCLUSIONS: Poor air quality and recent worsening of industrial emissions have had a negative impact on lung-related illnesses. Future mitigation strategies should be taken to reduce pollution and treat diseases earlier in their course. Some of these strategies include more reliance on alternative energy sources, creation of mass transit systems and increased rates of recycling.PMID:37868892 | PMC:PMC10586990 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-544 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Choosing Wisely interventions to reduce antibiotic overuse in the safety net
CONCLUSIONS: These real-world multicomponent interventions responding to P4P incentives were associated with substantial reductions in antibiotic prescriptions for ARTIs in 2 safety-net health systems without unintended harms.PMID:37870542 | DOI:10.37765/ajmc.2023.89367 (Source: The American Journal of Managed Care)
