Predictors of Repeat Epinephrine Administration for Emergency Department Patients with Anaphylaxis
Conclusion Patients with a history of anaphylaxis, flushing or diaphoresis, or dyspnea may require multiple doses of epinephrine to treat anaphylactic reactions. Patients who require more than 1 dose are more likely to be admitted to the hospital, thus increasing health care resource utilization.

John Edward Salvaggio, MD, MACP, 1933–1999
It is hard to sum up a life well lived in a few words, especially one with as many accomplishments as that of Dr John Salvaggio (Fig 1). Yes, he is among a relatively small group of those internationally known clinician-investigators who also became successful academic administrators and recognized leaders in medicine. Undoubtedly, Dr Salvaggio's contributions moved our discipline a great distance forward. In that process, he mentored an international group of successful professional colleagues who were as much friends as protégées.

Measurement and interpretation of skin prick test results
Conclusions
The ‘scanned area method’ is theoretically more accurate in determining the wheal area than the ‘average diameter method’ and is recommended in academic research. A HEP-index area of 0.4 is determined as cut-off value for a positive SPT. However, in clinical practice, the ‘average diameter method’ is also useful, because this method provides similar accuracy in predicting cashew nut allergic reactions in the DBPCFC.

Time for a new language for asthma control: results from REALISE Asia
Conclusion: Patients consistently overestimated their level of asthma control contrary to what their symptoms suggest. They perceived control as management of exacerbations, reflective of a crisis-oriented mind-set. Interventions can leverage on patients' trust in health care providers and desire for self-management via a new language to generate a paradigm shift toward symptom control and preventive care. Keywords: asthma control, attitudes, perception

Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating a School-Centered Asthma Program: Step-Up Asthma Program
Conclusions A guideline-based school-centered asthma program can significantly reduce asthma morbidity. The asthma counselor is the cornerstone of the program, providing asthma education and care coordination. The Step-Up Asthma Program is in its 10th year, and we believe the key elements of this program can be implemented in other school systems.

Nanotechnologies for In Vitro IgE Testing
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThis review discusses the recent advances in the development of IgE antibody assays based on nanotechnologies. IgE blood testing is an important part of the diagnostic workup of IgE-mediated hypersentivity. We also address the challenges in moving from an academic proof-of-concept to a product routinely used by allergy experts.Recent FindingsSeveral nanotechnologies have been applied to the field of IgE testing: nanoparticles are used either as a support to capture analytes or as a detection tool to enhance the measurement signal. Nanofluidics allows to reduce assay time by enhancing molecular inte...

Asthma Cost-Effectiveness Analyses: Are We Using the Recommended Outcomes in Estimating Value?
Conclusions Although the use of NIH-recommended asthma core outcomes has improved, there is still room for improvement in using supplemental and emerging outcomes. To allow robust cross-study comparisons, future work should focus on further standardizing of data sources and methods.
