Fish - a scoping review for Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023
Food Nutr Res. 2024 Mar 5;68. doi: 10.29219/fnr.v68.10485. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTThe aim of this scoping review was to conduct evidence-based documentation between fish intake and health outcomes for food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) in the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR) 2023. For most health outcomes, the evidence for fish oil and n-3 long chain (LC) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) supplementation was included when examining evidence between fish intake and health. In this review, conclusions from qualified systematic reviews (qSR) approved by NNR2023 are included. In addition, conclusions of a de novo s...

Annals 80th anniversary: Immunotherapy for food allergy
The 1944 edition of the Annals of Allergy, Asthma& Immunology held the seed of an idea that today, some 80 years later, has come to define the field of food allergy. The article —entitled “Experimental approach to oral treatment of food allergy: Chemistry of food propeptans”—was conducted by Austrian dermatologist Erich Urbach, a war émigré who had escaped Nazi persecution to take up a position at the University of Pennsylvania.1 Alongside detailed chemical explan ations of the hydrolysis of food proteins, the article contained a surprising laboratory finding: guinea pigs who had been “allergenized” to egg wh...

Social media use among parents of children with food allergies
Online search engines and social media are used by billions of people around the world. Individual users can curate their experience to follow specific accounts or join groups that post information pertaining to specific topics of interest. It is reported that 80% of users of smartphones use their device to search for health-related information.1 Medical decision-making can be influenced by information obtained online.2 The way parents of children with food allergies use online sources of information has not been extensively evaluated.

Allergen immunotherapy in the UK: what's new?
Allergen immunotherapy, also called desensitisation, is a strategic process by which the immune system is gradually “trained” to tolerate increasing amounts of an allergen, which it previously would have reacted to. In the UK, it is estimated that approximately 20% of the population suffers with at least one allergic disease. The potential to modify the disease process is no longer out of our reach for certai n allergies, with the hope of improved quality of life. Immunotherapy can be offered as a treatment for IgE mediated allergic disease such as allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, immediate type food allergies, bee and wa...

Pediatric and adult EoE: A spectrum or distinct diseases?
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a multifactorial food allergy of the esophagus that was first recognized as a distinct entity in the 1990s and can be diagnosed at any age. Initial detection of EoE is complicated by its variable clinical presentations across the ages, ranging from failure to thrive in infancy to frank food impaction in adulthood. These differences have prompted discussions about whether EoE is truly a single disease entity or, alternatively, a collection of distinct disease states that differ between children and adults.
