airways dysfunction and obstructive lung diseases. This session will focus on the evidence for molecular, cellular, and physiologic alterations in the lung induced by obesity that predispose these individuals towards asthma and COPD, and inform potential targets for future therapies. 9:15 Introduction to the Session 9:25 Airway Epithelial Metabolic Dysregulation as a Driver of Downstream Inflammation and Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness 9:40 Obesity Induces Airway Smooth Muscle Cell Hyperresponsiveness 9:55 Insulin Resistance and Dysglycemia - Bystanders or Contributors to Asthma in Obesity 10:10 Physiological Phenotyping in the Evaluation and Treatment of Obese Asthma 10:25 The Obesity Paradox in COPD 10:40 Conclusion BASIC • BEHAVIORAL • CLINICAL PUBLIC ADVISORY ROUNDTABLE SYMPOSIUM C6 ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCE ON LUNG HEALTH Assembly on ATS Public Advisory Roundtable 9:15 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. San Diego Convention Center Room 29A-D (Upper Level) Target Audience Providers of lung health and allied services Objectives At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: • describe new findings with regard to the environmental influence on lung health • define new strategies to manage the care of individuals with chronic lung conditions to help mitigate the negative effects of air pollutants • better counsel patients on treatment options and preventive strategies to improve quality of life and optimize health outcomes This session will focus on the effect that the environment has on lung health. Recently airborne particulates from forest fires brought home the impact of air quality, especially for individuals with compromised breathing. Presentations will discuss the consequences of a warming

climate, severe weather events, and flooding on this community. It is well known that higher levels of air pollution can lead to increased symptoms, worse lung function, and more hospitalizations in patients with airway diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial lung diseases (ILD). We also know that air quality is linked to poor health outcomes for patients with other lung conditions and conditions like heart disease or stroke. 9:15 PAR Award Presentations 9:30 Patient Speaker 9:45 The Climate Crisis and Lung Health: An Urgent Call to Action 10:05 Environmental Exposures and Life Course Lung Health: Timing is Everything 10:25 Environmental Contributions to Health Disparities in Obstructive Airway Disease C7 ELEVATING THEQUALITYOF DELIVERY OF SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN Assemblies on Nursing; Behavioral and Health Services Research; Clinical Problems 9:15 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina Pacific Ballroom 21-22 (Ground Floor, North Tower) Target Audience Target audience includes physicians, advanced practice professionals (APPs), nurses, physical therapists and respiratory therapists who are involved in caring for patients who require supplemental oxygen outside of the acute care/inpatient setting. Objectives At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: • improve the quality of life/health status of patients receiving long term oxygen therapy by identifying the key drivers of quality of life and incorporating these findings into supplemental oxygen management • better counsel patients on the limitations and advantages of pulse flow and continuous flow portable compressed gas cylinders, oxygen concentrators, and liquid canister oxygen devices • describe new findings about the impact of the Competitive Bidding reimbursement model on supplemental oxygen services and what BEHAVIORAL • CLINICAL SCIENTIFIC SYMPOSIUM
