Levels of Immunoglobulin E Sensitization Drive Symptom Thresholds in Allergic Rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common respiratory disease encompassing a variety of phenotypes. Patients can be sensitized to one or more allergens. There are indications that polysensitization is associated with more severe disease. However, the extent to which the level of sensitization is associated to clinical disease variability, underlying the distinct nature of AR from AR+ conjunctivitis or AR+ asthma, is not known.

The Future of Therapeutic Options for Hereditary Angioedema
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare, genetic condition causing unpredictable and severe episodes of angioedema that are debilitating and life-threatening. HAE can be classified into HAE due to C1INH deficiency (HAE-C1INH), or HAE with normal C1INH (HAE-nl-C1INH). HAE-C1INH is subcategorized as type I and II based upon deficient or dysfunctional circulating C1INH protein resulting from inherited or spontaneous mutations in the SERPING1 gene leading to uncontrolled Factor XII(FXII)/plasma kallikrein activation and excessive bradykinin production.

Cow's milk oral immunotherapy has differentially better long-term adherence than peanut or sesame
IgE-mediated food allergy is a global health problem.1,2 In recent years, several scientific societies have endorsed the use of off-the-shelf foods in clinical oral immunotherapy (OIT) practice.3 –5 Moreover, manufactured well-standardized peanut allergens have also been used.6 Our study aimed to evaluate and compare adherence to and safety of OIT in patients with different food allergens at the maintenance dose (MD) phase in a single center.

Mast cell signaling and its role in urticaria
Chronic urticaria (CU) is a mast cells (MC)-driven disease characterized by the development of itching wheals and/or angioedema. In the last decades, outstanding progress has been made in defining the mechanisms involved in MC activation, and novel activating and inhibitory receptors expressed in MC surface were identified and characterized. Besides an IgE-mediated activation via Fc εRI-cross-linking, other activating receptors, including Mas-related G protein–coupled receptor-X2 (MRGPRX2), C5a receptor and protease-activated receptors (PAR1 and PAR2) are responsible for MC activation.

Beyond the textbook: the challenges of learning (and teaching) basic immunology in allergy-immunology training programs
For incoming allergy-immunology fellows, learning basic immunology is daunting due to the complexity of the topic and limited exposure during undergraduate medical education. Allergy-immunology exposure is also limited during primary residency training, especially for trainees from programs without an allergy-immunology training program.1 A lack of educational infrastructure for immunology in graduate medical education (GME) results in self-directed learning and inconsistent knowledge in spite of the broad framework provided by certification boards.

Sociodemographic factors linked to food allergy diagnosis among high-risk children with atopic dermatitis
CONCLUSION: Labeling at-risk young children with food allergy without thorough objective testing can impact their nutrition and quality of life.
