Pollen calendars and regional gradients as information tools in the Extremadura pollen monitoring network (SW Spain)
AbstractPollen allergies are one of the most important problems among respiratory diseases in today ’s society. The creation and development of aerobiological information tools are useful to provide information to patients and doctors. In this work, we analysed the pollen spectrum of Extremadura to generate pollen calendars for Badajoz, Cáceres, Don Benito, Plasencia and Zafra. Additionally, we analysed regional pollen gradients and plotted the main pollen season (MPS) characteristics (start date, peak date, end date and duration) in each city. In Extremadura, 35–40 different types of pollen are frequently identified,...

What is the Allergen Cross-Reactivity Rate of Legumes?
Discussion There are 8 common foods which compromise 90% of food allergens with those being peanuts, soybeans, cow’s milk, eggs, fish, crustacean/shellfish, wheat and tree nuts. Some people believe that lupin (a legume) is 9th. Legumes belong to the Fabaceae family. They provide protein, fat, vitamins other essential nutrients and therefore are used in the human diet throughout the world. “[A]llergenicity due to consumption of legumes in decreasing order may be peanut, soybean, lentil, chickpea, pea, mung bean and red gram.” Other common legumes include alfalfa, clovers, beans, lupins, mesquite, carob...

Validation of the impact on family scale (Spanish version) and predictive variables in parents of children with severe food allergy.
Severe food allergies in children have serious consequences for their daily lives, but also for their families. The aim of the present study was to validate the impact on family scale (IOFS) in families of school-age children with severe food allergies (SFA) in Spain.

IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 5828: Associations of Preconception Exposure to Air Pollution and Greenness with Offspring Asthma and Hay Fever
nson Andrei Malinovschi Alessandro Marcon Torben Sigsgaard Cecilie Svanes Ane Johannessen We investigated if greenness and air pollution exposure in parents’ childhood affect offspring asthma and hay fever, and if effects were mediated through parental asthma, pregnancy greenness/pollution exposure, and offspring exposure. We analysed 1106 parents with 1949 offspring (mean age 35 and 6) from the Respiratory Health in Northern Europe, Spain and Australia (RHINESSA) generation study. Mean particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), black carbon (BC), ozone (O3) (µg/m...

The disease burden in patients with respiratory allergies induced by house dust mites: a year-long observational survey in three European countries
ConclusionsIn a 13-month, fortnightly survey of patients in France, Italy and Spain with a self-reported history of moderate-to-severe, poorly controlled, HDM-induced allergic rhinitis and asthma, we found that a relevant minority of participants regularly reported a severe or very severe impact of their allergy on tiredness, sleep and professional activities (including time off work). The disease burden peaked in autumn and late spring.

Meteorological factors driving airborne grass pollen concentration in central Iberian Peninsula
This study was carried out in the surroundings of the city of Toledo (Spain), a Mediterranean city l ocated in the center of the Iberian Peninsula. Temperature was the variable most influencing flowering onset, which was also affected by relative humidity, rainfall and hours of sunlight. The flowering period of grass species that flower at the start of spring (Bromus rubens andHordeum leporinum) began earlier in years with higher mean winter temperatures, while the species that flower from mid to late spring (Trisetaria panicea andDactylis glomerata subsp.hispanica), the flowering period began earlier in years with higher ...

Allergen immunotherapy in allergic asthma: current evidence.
Conclusion: Allergen immunotherapy remains a potential therapeutic option for some patients with allergic asthma. Further research is needed to define the optimal period of treatment, the possible therapeutic role in the treatment of severe allergic asthma, and the cost-effectiveness of allergen immunotherapy in asthmatic patients.

What Affects the Nutritional Quality of Plant-Based Milk Substitutes?
Discussion People today may be eating more plant-based products because of: Allergen avoidance – lactose or cow’s milk allergy, 14% of people with cow’s milk allergy will also have soy allergy. Cultural importance Contamination avoidance e.g. growth hormone or antibiotic residues in cow’s milk production Specific diseases, e.g. cholesterol/lipid issues Environmental impact Ethical or religious considerations Improved nutrition With population growth “[t]he demand for food is expected to grow by 70% until 2050….While the expected protein consumption is believed to grow by 80%.” P...

Treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis with dupilumab in real clinical practice. Baseline characteristics of patients from 5 reference dermatology units included in the dupilumab expanded access in Spain
Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory and pruritic skin disease, with a prevalence of 1-3% of the adult population. Usually begins in early childhood, progresses with a recurrent course before disappearing at puberty, and may persist to adulthood or present de novo during this period. It is frequently associated with elevated levels of serum IgE, individual or family history of type I allergies, allergic rhinitis and asthma. The therapeutic approach in adult AD patients can be frankly complicated beyond topical treatments, as phototherapy and/or systemic therapies often do not guarantee adequate c...

Publication date: Available online 25 June 2019Source: Social Science & MedicineAuthor(s): Claire L. Niedzwiedz, Katie H. Thomson, Clare Bambra, Jamie R. PearceAbstractStudies from single countries suggest that local labour market conditions, including rates of employment, tend to be associated with the health of the populations residing in those areas, even after adjustment for individual characteristics including employment status. The aim of this study is to strengthen the cross-national evidence base on the influence of regional employment levels and individual worklessness on health during the period of the Great Rece...

Dietary Vitamin D3 Deficiency Increases Resistance to Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis Infection in Mice
Conclusion Altogether, our results indicate that dietary VitD deficiency is able to decrease lesion growth and provide an increase in Th1 response in C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice upon L. (L.) amazonensis infection, although it does not decrease parasite burden in either of the murine models used. Thus, VitD may contribute to host susceptibility to murine tegumentary leishmaniasis. Further studies on the influence of immunonutrition in the leishmaniases are needed to better understand the immunobiology of these diseases. Author Contributions HdMG conceived and designed the experiments. GO-S, DB, MM, JEP, JCP, TR, AdF-M, and L...
