Breast-milk microbes and risk of asthma by 6 years of age
Conclusions: Our data supports breast-milk as a considerable source of early-life microbial exposure and provides the first indication that microbes in breast-milk may affect the risk of asthma and thus have prolonged impact on child health.

Structured intervention plan with component-resolved diagnostics help reduce the burden of food allergy in children
This study was performed under the Finnish Allergy Programme aimed at reducing avoidance diets to foods in schoolchildren by 50%. The goal of this study was to investigate how many children could be freed from diet restrictions in a school district through a diagnostic algorithm including Component-Resolved Diagnostics and food challenge. The secondary aim was to provide a crude estimate of the burden of the elimination food diets and the savings associated to the proposed intervention.

Zinc beats the common cold
A study led by Dr. Harri Hemila of the University of Helsinki in Finland has found that lozenges containing high-dose zinc can shorten the length of the common cold by about 3 days. Previous research suggested that zinc lozenges help people with allergies to shorten their suffering with the common cold, but the new study indicates that people without allergies had the same benefits as those with allergies.

Wheat oral immunotherapy was moderately successful but was associated with very frequent adverse events in children aged 6 ‐18 years
ConclusionThe majority (57%) of children with wheat allergies could use wheat in their daily diet 16 months after the initiation of oral immunotherapy, but 94/100 had adverse reactions and 60 were moderate or severe. Specific immunoglobulin E to omega‐5‐gliadin may provide a biomarker for how much wheat can be tolerated and the intensity of the reactions to immunotherapy.This article is protected by copyright.

How to Parent Like a Scandinavian
When I became a mom in the U.S., the parenting experience was nothing like I had expected. The playgrounds, which I thought would be teeming with children, were often deserted. Most young children seemed to be either glued to a screen at home or being drilled with academics at preschool. When I went outside for daily walks with my baby in the winter, people took pity on us and offered me rides. Meanwhile in my native Sweden, kids gear up to go outside every day, regardless of the weather, both at home and at preschool. Forget flash cards, wall words and kindergarten readiness — Scandinavian parents are keener to have...

National allergy programme had little impact on parent ‐reported food allergies in children aged 6‐7 years
ConclusionWe studied the national allergy programme that started in 2008 and found that there was a non‐significant overall decrease in the number of children aged 6‐7 on avoidance diets for allergies between 2009‐2016. The only allergies that showed signficiant decreases were fresh fruit and vegetables.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Vitamin D intake during the first 4 years and onset of asthma by age 5: A nested case‐control study
ConclusionsIncreased vitamin D intake in childhood, particularly intake at 1 and 2 years of age, may increase risk of childhood asthma. This might reflect a true effect or residual confounding by lifestyle or environmental factors. Repeated assessment of vitamin D intake allowed evaluation of the longitudinal and age‐dependent impact of vitamin D on the risk of asthma. Further longitudinal studies are required to confirm or question these findings.

Age ‐related off‐label use of nasal corticosteroids for allergies is relatively common in Finnish children with asthma
ConclusionMost asthmatic children and adolescents used allergy medication. Nasal corticosteroids were the commonly prescribed off‐label item and the prescribers were mainly specialists in paediatric allergology or paediatrics. Official dosage instructions and more specific clinical guidelines are needed to support appropriate prescribing of nasal corticosteroids for young children.This article is protected by copyright.

Consumption of asthma and allergy drugs in Finland
Conclusions: The steady growth in the consumption of inhaled corticosteroids and montelukast is likely to reflect increasing number of asthma patients. However, the emphasis of drug cost growth is on the controller medications for asthma and antihistamines. This is in accordance with the Finnish Allergy Program which has a focus in the more severe asthma and allergen tolerance.

Prospective Study on Cost-Effectiveness of Nurse Interviw Introducing Retesting With in Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) To Parents of Children With Suspected Food Allergy in Finland
Accordance to Finnish Allergy Program 2008-2018, to decrease food avoidance diets by 50%. Focus in algorithm with patient history +IVD in school children with suspected food allergy and reason for declining re-diagnosis.

Stability of parent‐reported food allergy in six and 7‐year‐old children: the first 5 years of the Finnish allergy programme
ConclusionParent‐reported allergies to basic foods, such as cow's milk, eggs and wheat, remained rather stable in first graders of elementary schools during the first 5 years of the Finnish national allergy programme, but allergies to nuts, fruits and vegetables decreased.
