<title>Acetylsalicylic acid sensitivity in patients with nasal polyps</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/7260/display/acetylsalicylic-acid-sensitivity-in-patients-with-nasal-polyps.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Acetylsalicylic acid sensitivity is common in patients with nasal polyposis, and that patients with extensive and long-term nasal polyposis with multiple polyp operations should be evaluated for the presence of acetylsalicylic acid sensitivity. These are the conclusions of a study evaluating Sixty-eight patients with nasal polyps.]]></description>

<title>Allergen-specific immunotherapy reduced to three injections</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/7172/display/allergen-specific-immunotherapy-reduced-to-three-injections.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[In a recent article in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Senti et al. could reduce the number of allergen injections to three by enhancing antigen presentation. Firstly, the allergen was injected directly into lymph nodes. Secondly, the allergen, recombinant cat dander allergen Fel d 1, was fused with an intracellular translocation sequence and with an invariant chain to enhance presentation via MHC class II to CD4 T cells.]]></description>

<title>Milk Powder Better than Liquid Drops to Treat Milk Allergies</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/6930/display/milk-powder-better-than-liquid-drops-to-treat-milk-allergies.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[A small study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center and Duke University shows that eating higher doses of milk protein in the form of dry powder substantially outperforms lower-dose therapy — a few drops of liquid milk extract under the tongue — for treatment of food allergies.

<title>Foodborne illness outbreak response network</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/6712/display/foodborne-illness-outbreak-response-network.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced today a streamlined, integrated approach to effectively and rapidly respond to human and animal foodborne illness outbreaks: the FDA Coordinated Outbreak Response and Evaluation (CORE) Network. The CORE Network is comprised of a multi-disciplinary team of epidemiologists, veterinarians, microbiologists, environmental health specialists, emergency coordinators, and risk communications specialists. Working full-time on outbreak prevention and response at headquarters, the CORE is complemented by trained, experienced investigators in FDA field offices nationwide. CORE will coordinate closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and state public health and agriculture agencies in human and animal foodborne illness outbreaks.

<title>Effects of Anti-IL-13 on nasal allergen challenge</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/6598/display/effects-of-anti-il-13-on-nasal-allergen-challenge.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[In an upcoming issue of The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI), Nicholson et al evaluated the effects of an anti-IL-13 blocking antibody compared with placebo on repeated nasal allergen challenge (NAC) responses in hay fever patients out of season. Nasal challenge models with serial non-invasive sampling have considerable potential to study the molecular basis of mucosal inflammatory responses. The authors conclude that nasal challenge models can also be used to predict responders and monitor effects of specific therapy for allergy and asthma.

<title>Nasal Steroids in Allergic Rhinitis</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/6585/display/nasal-steroids-in-allergic-rhinitis.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[In mild or moderate allergic rhinitis, endonasal steroids are advised as they are effective and with no side effects. Most patients affected by this disorder present however also ocular allergic manifestations, at the same time, so physicians often use oral anti-histamines prepared for conjunctival use. Through a trial sponsored by pharmaceutical industry, 429 patients affected by seasonal allergic rhinitis have been treated with a mometasone-based spray (200 μg in an only daily sprinkling) or with a placebo spray for an overall of 15 days.]]></description>

<title>Gene polymorphisms, breastfeeding and food sensitization in early childhood</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/6559/display/gene-polymorphisms-breastfeeding-and-food-sensitization-in-early-childhood.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[The relationship between breastfeeding and allergic diseases is a subject of debate. The possibility that this relationship may vary by individual genetic susceptibility has not been explored. In an upcoming issue of The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI), Hong et al. examined the effect of breastfeeding and gene-breastfeeding interactions on food sensitization (FS) in 960 children from an inner-city U.S. prospective birth cohort. FS was defined as specific IgE ≥0.35 kUA/L to any of eight common food allergens.]]></description>

<title>Severe milk allergy: potential risk for anaphylaxis to tetanus vaccines</title>

<description><![CDATA[Anaphylactic reactions to diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccines (DTaP and Tdap) are rare. In an upcoming issue of The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Kattan et al report a case series of 8 children who presented to their food allergy referral center from 2007-10 with a history of anaphylaxis to booster doses of these vaccines.]]></description>

<title>Natural History of Eosinophilic Esophagitis as it Transitions from Childhood into Adulthood Reveals that Poor Prognosis is Associated with Food Allergy and Allergic Rhinitis</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/6523/display/natural-history-of-eosinophilic-esophagitis-as-it-transitions-from-childhood-into-adulthood-reveals-that-poor-prognosis-is-associated-with-food.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[A unique landmark study, that defines the long-term natural history of EoE and the key role of allergy, is an important set of findings suggesting that EoE morbidity is greater among patients with atopy. Taken one step further, data support the need for allergy testing among patients with EoE, as identifying patients with atopy will not only assist in dietary management, but will help identify those at greatest risk for persistent disease.]]></description>

<title>Food Allergies</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/6520/display/food-allergies.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Food allergy is not a wide problem, since it concerns averagely 1%-2% of the American population, and so it has not been studied in all its practical aspects, yet. With a trial sponsored by NIH, a review has been performed on the trials about food allergy published from 1988 to 2009, finding severe methodological gaps and a not univocal definition of “food allergy”. The authors then make the following observations: The widely spread perception that food allergies are increasing has not been confirmed by any good-quality trials. Skin prick-test and the determination of specific IgE are sensitive exams, but they are a little specific: about 50% of subjects with a history of food allergy and positive tests result not to be affected by any food allergy. ]]></description>
