Exposure to Community Violence and Physical Health Outcomes in Youth: A Systematic Review.
J Pediatr Psychol. 2016 Oct 28;:
Authors: Wright AW, Austin M, Booth C, Kliewer W
Abstract
OBJECTIVE?: To systematically review the evidence for associations between exposure to community violence and physical health outcomes in children and adolescents. METHODS?: A thorough search of multiple online databases and careful consideration of inclusion and exclusion criteria yielded a final 28 studies for detailed review. In addition to review of findings, studies were rated on overall quality based on study design. RESULTS?: Seven categories of physical health outcomes emerged, including asthma/respiratory health, cardiovascular health, immune functioning, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis functioning, sleep problems, weight, and a general health category. There were mixed findings across these categories. Evidence for a positive association between community violence exposure and health problems was strongest in the cardiovascular health and sleep categories. CONCLUSION?: There is reason to believe that community violence exposure has an effect on some areas of physical health. Additional well-designed research that focuses on mechanisms as well as outcomes is warranted.

Persistent nasal symptoms and mediator release after continuous pollen exposure in an environmental challenge chamber.
Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol. 2016 Jun 1;
Authors: Okuma Y, Okamoto Y, Yonekura S, Iinuma T, Sakurai T, Hamasaki S, Ohki Y, Yamamoto H, Sakurai D
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Immediate- and late-phase reactions are associated with nasal symptoms of patients with allergic rhinitis.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the symptoms and mediators released after continuous allergen exposure in an environmental challenge chamber (ECC).
METHODS: Fifteen patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis were enrolled in this study and continuously exposed to cedar pollen at a concentration of 8,000 grains/m(3) for 3 hours in an ECC. Nasal function tests were performed, and nasal secretions were collected before pollen exposure (0 hour), immediately after exiting the ECC (3 hours), and 6 hours after exiting the ECC (9 hours). Symptom scores were recorded every 30 minutes in the ECC and every 3 hours after exiting the ECC. The frequency of sneezing and nose blowing also was monitored.
RESULTS: The severity of symptoms in the ECC peaked approximately 2 hours after the beginning of pollen exposure and continued more than 6 hours after leaving the ECC. Concentrations of histamine, tryptase, interleukins 5, 3, 33, and 31, and substance P increased over time, whereas that of nasal fractional exhaled nitric oxide decreased.
CONCLUSION: Various mediators are released during continuous allergen exposure, which subsequently induce persistent nasal symptoms. Effective treatment is required to control the intense inflammation observed after allergen exposure.
