I'm currently working on a news article looking at the effects of climate change on health in Europe based on the recent open letter from the Pan-European Commission on Climate and Health.
1) How is the climate changing in Europe? What are the main concerns and how may these impact health?
2) As temperatures rise, how high is the risk of conditions like dengue to Europe? What should be done to curb the spread of these conditions?
3) What should be included in heat-action plans? What would be most effective- and is this country-specific?
4) What can health practitioners do to curb the negative effects of climate change on health?
Anything else that could be important for public information is most welcome!

Looking to speak with Ob-Gyns, Maternal-Fetal and primary care experts
Seeking U.S.-based experts in pulmonology to comment on innovations in COPD and asthma care
I am working on a Medscape article about new approaches to managing COPD and asthma that go beyond standard inhaler therapy. I am seeking U.S.-based pulmonologists, researchers, or physicians with experience in pulmonary medicine to share insights on emerging strategies in clinical practice and research.
Questions:
What innovations in COPD and asthma care are you seeing beyond pharmacotherapy (e.g., breathing techniques, pulmonary rehab, personalized approaches)?
Are you using or researching personalized oxygen protocols? If so, how do they compare with standard oxygen therapy?
What role do biologic or precision-medicine therapies play in COPD and asthma management today?
What barriers exist in implementing these newer approaches (cost, access, adherence)?
How can primary care providers best incorporate or refer for these innovations?
Looking ahead, what developments are most promising for improving COPD and asthma outcomes over the next 5 years?
