Captain Jack Snuffles and the Coughing Crew help fight asthma
The puppet show is almost over, and the preschoolers are focused on Captain Jack’s antics. Captain Jack commands the stage. “Aargh, little fish, what does the red in the air quality index mean?”
“Red means it’s a bad day,” shouts a child. “Everyone should stay inside,” adds another.
After the performance, the kids line up with paper and pencil determined to get autographs from the puppets. “Can we see the play again?” says a little girl. “I want to be screened by the doctor.”
March 21 is National Day of Puppetry, and researchers in the Loma Linda University School of Public Health are using puppets to help fight asthma and to teach lessons about the importance of exercise, diet and other health topics.....

Obesity may raise girls' risk of asthma, allergies
(HealthDay News) -- Obese girls may face a significantly higher risk for developing allergies, a new study suggests.
But the researchers found the opposite was true for obese boys: They may actually face a slightly diminished risk for asthma, food allergies and eczema when compared to normal-weight boys.
"We found a direct increase in the number of atopic [allergic] diseases associated with obesity in urban female children and teenagers, but not in males," said study co-author Dr. Sairaman Nagarajan. He's a resident physician in the department of pediatrics at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in New York City.....

Cabrera beats asthma to thrive on the court at Bayside High School
Keyla Cabrera, a junior at Bayside High School, never imagined that she would be one of the players on the basketball court instead of sitting in the bleachers when she was growing up.

Cabrera’s fondness for the sport started when she was 10 years old from watching sports on television and at local parks.
“When I first saw it, it was the sportsmanship of the players, the relationship that you could have. It just amazed me and I fell in love with the sport of basketball,” said Cabrera, who is 16. “It brought me together with other people and friends and family”.....
