16-year trends in asthma hospital admissions in Canada
CONCLUSION: Following a substantial decline in hospital admissions for acute asthma, there has been minimal further decline since 2010 for children and 2008 for adults. In addition to adhering to the contemporary standards of asthma care, novel, disruptive strategies are likely needed to further reduce the burden of asthma.PMID:35779843 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2022.06.022

Lessons from the IMPAACT of coronavirus disease 2019 public health restrictions on food allergy-associated anxiety
Generalized anxiety disorder is among the most common mental health disorder and for which an instrument, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7), has been available to assess this condition for nearly 2 decades.1 During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, symptoms associated with generalized anxiety disorder have broadly increased, albeit with a disproportionately higher risk among mothers, parents aged 18 to 44 years, those with household incomes less than $100,000 Canadian, or those with certain preexisting mental health conditions, including anxiety.

Sex Differences in IL-33-Induced STAT6-Dependent Type 2 Airway Inflammation
In this study, we have demonstrated that delivery of OVA+IL-33 to the lungs of mice induced an innate inflammatory response that exhibited sex-dependent differences in magnitude and regulation. Compared to males, female mice produced larger amounts of type 2 cytokines and chemokines and had substantially more activated eosinophils and AAM in the lung; each of these responses was significantly lower in female mice lacking STAT6. On the contrary, male mice displayed less inflammation overall, and in some instances, no apparent role for STAT6 was observed. BALF levels of inflammatory mediators and eosinophils were very lo...

Randomized Trial of Interventions to Improve Childhood Asthma in Homes with Wood-burning Stoves
Conclusions:
Among children with asthma and chronic exposure to woodsmoke, an air-filter intervention that improved indoor air quality did not affect quality-of-life measures. Intent-to-treat analysis did show an improvement in the secondary measure of dPFV.

Penicillin Skin Testing, Challenge, and Desensitization in Pregnancy: A Systematic Review.
CONCLUSION: This review demonstrates that the known prevalence of true penicillin allergy extends to pregnant women. PST and desensitization can be safely applied during pregnancy and are tools that should be used more frequently. Further data on the safety of challenge during pregnancy are recommended.

Companies Are Adding Sesame to Foods. It ’ s an Unintended Consequence of a New Allergen Label Law
A new federal law requiring that sesame be listed as an allergen on food labels is having unintended consequences—increasing the number of products with the ingredient.
Food industry experts said the requirements are so stringent that many manufacturers, especially bakers, find it simpler and less expensive to add sesame to a product—and to label it—than to try to keep it away from other foods or equipment with sesame.
As a result, several companies—including national restaurant chains like Olive Garden, Wendy’s and Chick-fil-A and bread makers that stock grocery shelves and serve schools&mdas...

Updated Guidance Regarding The Risk ofAllergic Reactions to COVID-19 Vaccines and Recommended Evaluation and Management: A GRADE Assessment, and International Consensus Approach
J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2023 Jun 7:S0091-6749(23)00746-7. doi: 10.1016/j.jaci.2023.05.019. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis guidance updates 2021 GRADE recomendations regarding immediate allergic reactions following COVID-19 vaccines and addresses re-vaccinating individuals with 1st dose allergic reactions and allergy testing to determine re-vaccination outcomes. Recent meta-analyses assessed the incidence of severe allergic reactions to initial COVID-19 vaccination, risk of mRNA-COVID-19 re-vaccination after an initial reaction, and diagnostic accuracy of COVID-19 vaccine and vaccine excipient testing in predicting reac...

What to Know About the Latest Advances in Managing Severe Asthma
Graphs and charts don’t always tell the whole story. Numbers can be deceiving. But anyone who looks at U.S. trends in asthma mortality can see, without squinting, that things are moving in the right direction.
A 2019 analysis in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine found that from 1999 to 2015, asthma mortality fell by 43%. “The decrease in asthma-related mortality was consistent in both sexes and in all race groups, with the largest decrease in patients older than 65 years,” the authors concluded. Figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that the...
