The Guardian reports the study was launched in December twenty twenty-four but saw its funding terminated early by the incoming Trump administration. Originally designed to track twelve hundred residents near Cleveland, the findings suggest that a simple appliance swap could rival some medications in managing severe asthma symptoms.
