Intra-breath oscillometry is a sensitive test for assessing disease control in adults with severe asthma
CONCLUSION: Oscillometry, particularly the intra-breath variation, better reflected asthma control than spirometry measures. Our findings suggest that oscillometry may be a useful technique to aid management of severe asthma with the potential to reflect loss of disease control.PMID:34146698 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2021.06.005

Acquired Angioedema due to C1-Inhibitor Deficiency: A Challenging Condition
Conclusion: Therapy of AAE-C1-INH aims to control symptoms; however, diagnosis and treatment of the underlying disease, when present, should be an important target and may lead to the resolution of angioedema in patients with AAE-C1-INH.Int Arch Allergy Immunol

Association of asthma risk factors and the prevalence of the disease in a population of Brazil
The objective of our study was to evaluate the association between the previously described asthma risk factors and the prevalence of asthma in a population of Brazilian adults. A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted using data collected from 7891 patients. All patients in the database > 18 years of age were included. The following variables were collected from the health plan database: age, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol consumption, sedentary lifestyle, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and asthma diagnosis. The frequency of the collected variables was compared between patients with or w...

Factors associated with allergy traits around the 2nd year of life: a brazilian cohort study
Allergic status has been strongly influenced by early exposures; however, allergic diseases are hard to measure in early life. Thus, this study proposed a latent variable allergy traits around the second year ...

Direct oral amoxicillin challenge for the outpatient evaluation of brazilian children and adolescents with low risk reactions
Antibiotic allergy labels contribute to longer hospitalizations, development of drug-resistant strains and are associated with increased costs and resource burdens for outpatient and hospital healthcare. Amoxicillin Direct Oral Challenge (DOC) may be safe and effective to delabeling low risk patients.

Anaphylaxis in Elderly Patients —Data From the European Anaphylaxis Registry
Conclusion: Anaphylaxis in the elderly is often caused by insect venoms and drugs. These patients suffer more often from cardiovascular symptoms, receive more frequently adrenaline and require more often hospitalization. The data indicate that anaphylaxis in the elderly tends to be more frequently life threatening and patients require intensified medical intervention. The data support the need to recognize anaphylaxis in this patient group, which is prone to be at a higher risk for a fatal outcome. Introduction The incidence of anaphylaxis, which may occur at any age, is rising in Western countries (1, 2). While life...

What Are Common Cross-reactivities with Other Allergens?
Discussion The most common allergic foods are cow’s milk (most common), egg, peanut, tree nut, soy, wheat, fish and shellfish. Egg, milk, soy and wheat tend to occur in young children and these are more likely to be outgrown over time. Peanut, tree nut, shellfish, and fish occur at all ages and are less likely to be outgrown. Peanut and tree nut allergies also tend to be more severe than other foods. Ninety percent of food fatalities were attributed to tree nuts and peanuts. In a study of anaphylaxis in schools, food was the most likely trigger (54%) with nuts and fruits being the most commonly identified foods. Co-f...

IL-33 Mediated Inflammation in Chronic Respiratory Diseases —Understanding the Role of the Member of IL-1 Superfamily
Conclusion Analysis of the pleiotropic effects of IL-33 on multiple immunological cells (macrophages, mastocytes), as well as neurological cells of medulla oblongata, dorsal root ganglion, antigen-induced arthritis system, carrageen, and formalin, shows that this alarmin plays curtail, yet not fully known role in mediating inflammation, especially in chronic inflammatory pulmonary diseases such as asthma, COPD, and OSA. Taken into consideration the engagement in this process, in particular of mastocytes and their secretion of CXCL2, 4, 8, and other cytokines, there is no doubt regarding the etiopathogenic role of IL-33 in...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 4501: Prevalence of Skin Reactions and Self-Reported Allergies in 5 Countries with Their Social Impact Measured through Quality of Life Impairment
Conclusions: Quantifying the prevalence and the association of allergies with skin reactions and discomfort sensations is critical to evaluating the impact on quality of life. Since skin barrier alteration is hypothesized as a risk factor and a route of sensitization for allergy development, the daily use of topical treatments, such as moisturizers, could help prevent allergic skin reactions, discomfort and impaired quality of life in individuals with an altered skin barrier.
