n diabetic animal strains repetitive ambient ozone exposure led to early and exaggerated pulmonary inflammation and remodeling. Changes in distal and interstitial airspaces and the activation of Th2 inflammatory and profibrotic pathways in experimental animals provide a preliminary, mechanistic framework to support the emerging epidemiological associations among air pollution, diabetes, and lung disease. https//doi.org/10.1289/EHP7255.Durable solutions for daunting problems in global health can be elusive. The global health literature tends to present aggregated data and highlight clinical outcomes but fails to describe the systems that buttress the interventions. The common idiom about "missing the forest for the trees" is apropos by focusing on individual examples, we may miss the bigger picture. How implementation of policies and innovations plays out on the front lines of service delivery often goes uncommunicated. The Networks of Care scoping study takes a different approach, looking at diverse programs to seek out common patterns. Using the four domains of the Networks of Care framework to structure descriptions of six operational programs reveals commonalities in their designs and shows the utility of the framework's components. The commonalities increase our conviction that the framework can be used as a practical approach to strengthen service-level health systems. The case studies are followed by a commentary about the potential synergy of Networks of Care with Universal Health Coverage efforts, to deliver on the core promises to increase access and quality of care for all, especially the persistently underserved. These case studies help define a practical toolkit to promote enduring positive changes, forging a path for the Networks of Care framework to move anecdotes of individual successes to health policy and broader implementation, enabling global health practitioners at all levels to keep the big picture in focus while working toward ensuring healthy lives and well-being for all.Background Maternal feeding practices and styles are well-established correlates of children's BMI z-scores in the preschool years. Most studies, however, are cross-sectional, using maternal self-reports to examine feeding. This study examined, over a 3½-year period, the relationship between observed and self-reported feeding practices/styles and children's BMI z-scores in a sample of Hispanic mothers with low incomes and their preschool children. Methods One hundred eighty-seven mothers were observed feeding their 4- to 5-year old during a buffet meal in a laboratory setting and completed self-report measures on their feeding practices and styles. Children's BMI z-scores were assessed at this visit and 3½ years later. Selleckchem 10058-F4 Results Consistent with previous research, observed and self-reported pressure to eat and/or authoritarian feeding were negatively associated with children's BMI z-scores at the first time point; observed discouraging eating was positively associated. However, children's BMI z-scores 3½ years later, controlling for Time 1 BMI z-scores, were positively associated with observed pressure to eat. Observed maternal reasoning and self-reported monitoring of children's eating behavior at Time 1 were negatively associated with later BMI z-scores. Only self-reported feeding styles predicted later children's BMI z-scores, with indulgent and authoritative styles positively associated with children's BMI z-scores at the third time point. Conclusions These findings demonstrate that mothers who ignore their children's fullness cues and pressure them to eat have children who are at greater risk for the development of later obesity. Implications for the development of family-focused childhood obesity prevention programs are discussed. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) has a high incidence among sports players, and one important side effect of the surgery is graft donor site morbidity. Although
