One- to Four-Family Properties with Multiple Losses Insured by the National Flood Insurance Program
The increased frequency and severity of flooding in the United States are likely to increase the number of properties that experience multiple flood losses. This report examines properties with multiple losses insured by the National Flood Insurance Program and the communities in which they are located to help inform decisions related to floodplain management, flood insurance, and mitigation efforts.

Regulations were created to protect air and drinking water
Always be wary of the cry for removing regulations in order to solve the housing affordability as was advocated by Republican legislators (Missoulian March 20). This is code for shifting costs to future taxpayers. This whine has been used ever since state and local governments have tried to force housing developers to meet their responsibilities to provide the proper improvements for their development. There was a time when land division for housing was simply a paper process.
Pathways of Escalation to Asthma Biologics in Real-world Clinical Practice: an Analysis of US Claims Data
Current Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines recommend a stepwise approach to asthma treatment. Patients recommended for step-up to biologics include those whose asthma is uncontrolled by high-dose inhaled corticosteroids/long-acting beta-agonists. We examined prior GINA step (GS), exacerbations, and asthma control among patients escalated to biologics during the 12-months prior to escalation.
Suboptimal Adherence to Controller Medication is Widespread Among Asthma Patients Escalated to Biologics: an Analysis of US Claims Data
Current Global Initiative for Asthma guidelines recommend a stepwise approach to asthma treatment. Recent reports indicate up to 59% of patients prescribed high-dose inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting beta-agonist combination therapy fail to achieve control. Poor control might potentially result from suboptimal adherence to prescribed treatment, rather than lack of maintenance therapy efficacy.
Opinion: Freezing housing fees is not solution
Opinion: Freezing housing fees is not solution Hank Trotter’s (June 20) column complaining about city fees is the age-old whine by housing developers that city fees and regulations are the cause of the rising housing costs. This ignores the market that is assaulting Missoula and ignores the small percentage (less than 5%) that city fees are part of housing costs.
Letters: Missoula paper missed the mark by endorsing Fielder over Tranel
Editor’s note: The Missoulian retracted its endorsement after this letter was submitted. I am quite disappointed that the Missoulian would recklessly endorse Fielder for PSC. Fielder continues the dysfunctional pattern of termed out Legislative Republicans going to the PSC as a high paying retirement job. Their lack of expertise and lack of interest is clearly the current problem with the dysfunction at the PSC.
Impact fees relieve taxpayers' burden
Impact fees relieve taxpayers' burden In response to the (Jan. 26) opinion by Hank Trotter, who is advocating to eliminate impact fees, the key issue is whether growth or new development pays it fair share. State and local laws and regulations developed over the last 50 years have tried to answer that need. Historically, builders have contested every regulation and fee for housing and commercial development raises the cost.

How Many Pathologists Does the United States Need?
Pathology is the study of disease. The practice of pathology in the United States is the application of all laboratory sciences to the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of disease.
Clinical Management of Psychosocial Concerns Related to Food Allergy
To view the full text, please login as a subscribed user or purchase a subscription. Click here to view the full text on ScienceDirect. Current estimates indicate that 4% to 8% of children in the United States are diagnosed with food allergy, and more than 40% of US children with food allergy experience severe allergic reactions. Families trying to avoid foods that may trigger an allergic reaction and ensure adequate treatment of allergic reactions that do occur face numerous challenges.
Impact of a digital health intervention on asthma resource utilization
Patients were enrolled from September 2014 to November 2017 during routine asthma care in specialty and primary care clinics. Inclusion criteria included provider diagnosis of asthma, prescription for SABA, Spanish or English fluency, and absence of other pulmonary disease or significant co-morbidity. Patients were prescribed medications according to standard guideline practice. Those who enrolled in a prior EMM clinical trial at Dignity Health were excluded [7].
Digital technologies and adherence in respiratory diseases: the road ahead
Several attributes of digital technologies, which could be summarised under the headings of precision, penetration, prediction and personalisation, suggest how current and future technologies may be incorporated into the multidimensional nature of healthcare.
Digital Technologies and Adherence in Respiratory Diseases: The Road Ahead
Abstract Outcomes for patients with chronic respiratory diseases remain poor despite the development of novel therapies. In part, this reflects the fact that adherence to therapy is low, and clinicians lack accurate methods to assess this issue. Digital technologies hold promise to overcome these barriers to care.

Native American Children Face Many Barriers to Asthma Care
Certain groups of children with asthma experience particularly severe health disparities. African-American and Hispanic children develop asthma more frequently and with greater severity than white children. Asthma prevalence among Native American children, including American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian children, has been under-recognized for decades and equal or exceed those of most other minority groups.

Psychological and lifestyle risk factors for asthma exacerbations and morbidity in children
Low-income, urban minority youth are disproportionately affected by asthma, such that higher asthma prevalence rates and disease morbidity have been found in children from low socioeconomic (SES) [2, 3] and urban minority families [3, 4]. Prevalence rates indicate that African American children have higher rates of asthma than Latino or White children [2], and Puerto Rican children have higher rates of asthma than other Latino children [3].
