P331 Risks of new guidelines to prevent peanut allergy; peanut anaphylaxis in a 6-month-old
Peanut allergy has tripled in prevalence in the United States since 1997 and affects 1% to 2% of children. Previous recommendations included peanut avoidance, however current guidelines recommend early introduction of peanut to induce tolerance.

OR078 The prevalence of childhood food allergy in the United States: an update
Childhood food allergy (FA) is a serious, potentially costly and life-threatening condition that converging evidence suggests has substantially risen in prevalence in the US over recent decades. However, current US chronic disease surveillance does not include FA, rendering examination of temporal prevalence trends difficult due to inconsistency of measures utilized. As such, the present study is a follow-up of a nationally representative 2009-2010 survey estimating childhood FA prevalence to be 8%.

Guiding principles for use of newer biologics and bronchial thermoplasty for patients with severe asthma.
CONCLUSION: To optimize therapy and improve outcomes such as daily symptoms, quality of life, exacerbations, and hospitalizations, a clear picture of a patient's asthma phenotype is needed to guide therapy. Determining asthma phenotypes is the foundation of precision medicine for this persistent, often difficult-to-treat disease. PMID: 29103801 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Sinonasal T-cell expression of cytotoxic mediators granzyme B and perforin is reduced in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.
CONCLUSION: Total levels of sinonasal GrB and perforin were decreased in the sinonasal mucosa of both the patients with CRSwNP and the patients with CRSsNP compared with the controls, whereas sinonasal CD8+ T cells, (but not NK cells,), intracellular stores of GrB and perforin were reduced in the patients with CRSwNP compared with the controls.

Complex relationships between vitamin D and allergic sensitization among Puerto Rican 2-year-old children.
CONCLUSION: Vitamin D deficiency, possibly linked with allergic pathways, may partially explain the trajectory for disproportionate asthma burden among Puerto Ricans, especially those born and raised in colder climates. PMID: 29273135 [PubMed - in process]

How often is sinus surgery performed for chronic rhinosinusitis with versus without nasal polyps?
CONCLUSION: Almost 30% of ESS were performed for CRSwNP, and these cases were, on average, more extensive, used more OR time, and more often used image guidance than surgeries for CRSsNP. The rate of surgery performed for CRSwNP varied based on geography, payer, and surgical volume, which indicted that patient selection impacted surgical management.

Effect of pollution on allergy/immunology
Of all the recognized medical specialties in the United States, allergists and immunologists have most regularly paid attention to environmental factors that affect disease and incorporated environmental control as an important part of disease management. Traditionally, allergy/immunology has focused on indoor environmental controls, primarily for reduction of allergen exposure but also to decrease other airway irritants, most notably secondhand tobacco smoke. More recently, however, research by our specialty and others has shown that outdoor air pollutants, most significantly ozone and particulate matter, are associated c...

Asthma-Related Mortality in the United States of America, 1999-2015: A Multiple Causes of Death Analysis.
CONCLUSION: Among deaths with any mention of asthma, asthma was chosen as UCOD most often in NHBM and least often in NHWF. Age-adjusted MCOD rates declined most in NHWM and least in NHWF. PMID: 29548908 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

New Peanut Allergy Test May Be Safer, More Accurate On Kids
BOSTON (CBS) – Scientists in the United Kingdom have developed a new peanut allergy blood test that might be safer and less expensive than current tests available. Doctors commonly use blood tests that look for IgE antibodies in the blood and skin prick tests but these can give false-positive results. Then kids often have to undergo an oral food challenge where they’re given amounts of peanut and observed for an allergic reaction, which can be costly and can lead to significant allergic reactions. British researchers say this new test, called the Mast Cell Activation Test, is highly accurate and could reduce th...

Current and future challenges of subcutaneous and sublingual allergy immunotherapy for allergists in the United States
Both subcutaneous and sublingual allergy immunotherapy (SCIT and SLIT, respectively) for inhalant allergens have proven efficacy for allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma, with limited support for efficacy in selected patients with atopic dermatitis.1 Both SCIT and SLIT have been shown to modify the immunologic defect underlying the allergic respiratory diseases,2 an effect that is clinically manifest by suppression of new sensitization in monosensitized patients, reduction in the development of asthma in those only having allergic rhinitis, and persistence of clinical improvement for years after an adequate course of treatment.

Topical antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, and dual-action agents in ocular allergy: current trends
Purpose of review To address the current trends of therapeutic mechanisms for treatment of allergic conjunctivitis (AC), based on topical antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers (MCS). Recent findings The antihistamine drug alcaftadine has H4 receptor inverse agonism, anti-inflammatory and MCS activities. The antihistamines levocabastine and azelastine are more effective than placebo in treatment of AC symptoms in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The topical dual-action antihistamines/MCS olopatadine, azelastine, ketotifen, and epinastine are commonly used in Europe and in the United States for mild subtypes of A...
