Is there an association between microbial exposure and food allergy? A systematic review
Abstract The environmental factors driving the recent increase in the prevalence of food allergy (FA) are unclear. Since associations have been demonstrated between microbial exposure and the likelihood of eczema and respiratory allergies, we reviewed the evidence for FA. Medline was systematically searched from inception to the end of July 2012 for studies investigating links between FA and environmental exposures, likely to influence microbial exposure, such as Caesarean delivery, family size, day‐care attendance, childhood infections, immunizations and antibiotic use. We selected studies reporting food challenge data,...

Asthma and frequency of wheeze: risk factors for the persistence of atopic dermatitis in children.
CONCLUSION: For children with AD, a history of asthma and an increasing frequency of wheezing correlate strongly with more persistent AD. PMID: 23548521 [PubMed - in process]

Discordance between aeroallergen specific serum IgE and skin testing in children younger than 4 years.
CONCLUSION: Our study revealed a significant discordance between allergen-specific SPT and sIgE testing results for common aeroallergens, suggesting that both SPT and sIgE testing should be performed when diagnosing allergic sensitization in young children at high risk of asthma.

Specific immunotherapy in the treatment of atopic dermatitis: a systematic review using the GRADE system.
CONCLUSION: In a systematic review using the GRADE system, the strength of recommendation is weak for use of SIT in patients with AD. High-quality evidence from methodologically sound double-blinded randomized controlled trials is needed to support administration of SIT for patients with AD. PMID: 24267368 [PubMed - in process]

History of allergic diseases and lung cancer risk.
CONCLUSION: All 3 allergic diseases examined were inversely associated with lung cancer, although the strength of the protective effect varied. History of allergic diseases seems to have a protective role in lung cancer incidence, after consideration of potential confounders, including lifetime smoking history.

Positive reactions to placebo in children undergoing double‐blind, placebo‐controlled food challenge
ConclusionPlacebo reactions in DBPCFC are not common. Worsening of AE is the most frequent clinical reaction associated with positive placebo challenges, and young children (age <= 1.5 yrs) seem to be affected more often. Therefore ‐ contrary to current recommendations – DBPCFC tests should be considered in infants and young children, especially those with a history of AE.This article is protected by copyright.

Trends in eczema, rhinitis, and rye grass sensitization in a longitudinal asthma cohort.
CONCLUSION: The adolescence phase appears to be an important period in the body's response to allergens whereby eczema decreases in prevalence, whereas rhinitis and rye grass sensitization increase in prevalence. PMID: 24767696 [PubMed - in process]

Maternal consumption of dairy products, calcium, and vitamin D during pregnancy and infantile allergic disorders.
CONCLUSION: Higher maternal intake of total dairy products, cheese, yogurt, and calcium during pregnancy may reduce the risk of infantile eczema, physician-diagnosed asthma, physician-diagnosed atopic eczema, and physician-diagnosed atopic eczema, respectively. Higher maternal intake of vitamin D during pregnancy may increase the risk of infantile eczema. PMID: 24950846 [PubMed - in process]

Prevalence and determinants of atopy and allergic diseases among school-age children in rural Saskatchewan, Canada.
CONCLUSION: In children, livestock exposure has a protective effect on skin prick test positivity, whereas farm living and activities increase the risk of hay fever. PMID: 25129487 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Time-dependent variation in the responses to the Web-based ISAAC questionnaire.
CONCLUSION: There were time-dependent fluctuations in responses to the Web-based questionnaire regarding allergic symptoms. Timing of data collection should be taken into account when evaluating prevalence of asthma and rhinitis in children. PMID: 25216972 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Importance of Allergen Avoidance in High Risk Infants and Sensitized Patients: A Meta-analysis Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Allergen avoidance may not always be successful in preventing allergic symptoms. However, rigorous methodological studies are required to confirm this hypothesis. PMID: 25374752 [PubMed]

Efficacy of Probiotic Therapy on Atopic Dermatitis in Children: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings showed that probiotics successfully colonized in the intestine after 6 weeks' intervention; nevertheless, we could not find an additional therapeutic or immunomodulatory effects on the treatment of AD. Further long-term studies will be necessary to clarify the therapeutic efficacy of probiotics. PMID: 24843795 [PubMed]

Itch and the brain.
Authors: Pfab F, Valet M, Napadow V, Tölle TR, Behrendt H, Ring J, Darsow U Abstract The sensation of itch - defined as unpleasant sensation inducing the urge to scratch - is processed by a network of different brain regions contributing to the encoding of sensory, emotional, attention-dependent, cognitive-evaluative and motivational patterns. Patients with atopic eczema show different activation patterns and kinetics compared to healthy volunteers. This review summarizes current studies investigating itch in the brain.
