Screening for Food Allergy-Related Anxiety in an Outpatient Allergy Clinic Setting: A Quality Improvement Project
Several studies show that children with food allergy have increased anxiety. Food allergy-related anxiety is not routinely screened for, even in allergy practices. The aim of this quality improvement project was to develop an effective anxiety screening process for food allergic patients in two large academic outpatient allergy clinics.

Evaluation of an Educational Intervention Introducing New Food Allergy Guidelines for Pediatric Residents at an Academic Center
A prior survey of community pediatricians on food allergy diagnosis and management demonstrated gaps in knowledge and practice. Allergists often receive referrals from pediatricians after an initial evaluation for food allergy, so we sought to target pediatric residents to ensure they are equipped with the knowledge of new guidelines for early allergenic food introduction and appropriate diagnosis and management of food allergy. The goal is to ultimately eliminate unnecessary panel IgE testing and food avoidance, and downstream improvement in food allergy rates.

Immunoregulatory and immunostimulatory responses of bacterial lysates in respiratory infections and asthma.
CONCLUSION: Although successful prevention against all common respiratory pathogens is not possible, bacterial lysates seem capable of targeting specific immunocompetent cells through pathogen recognition receptor activation. Current challenges include clarifying the duality of immunoregulatory and immunostimulatory responses in children at risk for allergy. Larger clinical trials are required to elicit efficacy in allergy prevention. PMID: 25752734 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Unnecessary food allergy testing by primary care providers: ethical implications for the specialist
After completing her fellowship in allergy and immunology, Dr. X accepted an appointment in an academic position at a tertiary care pediatric hospital. Many of the patients Dr. X sees for evaluation of food allergy have undergone serum specific IgE testing prior to their allergy consultation. As time goes on, Dr. X begins to notice a concerning trend in patients referred from Dr. Y, a primary care provider who has been practicing in the community for over twenty years. Dr. X is worried that many of Dr.

Proportion of Referred Patients Who Completed Recommended Drug Allergy Evaluation
Drug allergies are a frequent reason for referral to allergy/immunology and are an important source of morbidity and mortality. While patients are often de-labeled by allergists via skin testing (ST) and/or oral challenges (OC), this typically requires a second visit. We sought to evaluate the proportion of patients referred to a tertiary care academic allergy practice for drug allergy who completed evaluation.

Mislabelled cow's milk allergy in infants: a prospective cohort study
Conclusions Mislabelled CMA typically presents within the first 3 months of life involving a single organ. Infant AD and higher parental academic education are associated with mislabelled reactions. Better parental and physician awareness of the importance of objectively diagnosing milk allergy is required to avoid mislabelling of infants as being allergic to cow's milk and to prevent potential nutritional deficiencies.

Systemic reactions to inhalant immunotherapy using 1:1 target dosing.
CONCLUSION: Pre-PD vs post-PD SRIT rates were not significantly different, adjusting for patients transitioned from established pre-PD to post-PD. This finding suggests that post-PD is as safe as pre-PD. Male sex and faster time to reaction onset were associated with higher WAO grade reactions. PMID: 24631183 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Changes in cat specific IgE and IgG antibodies with decreased cat exposure.
CONCLUSION: Under conditions of marked decrease in exposure, no participants developed new-onset sensitization. Among the individuals sensitized at study entry, there were major decreases in the ratio of IgG to IgE. PMID: 24726651 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Factors associated with the development and remission of allergic diseases in an epidemiological survey of high school students in Japan.
CONCLUSION: This epidemiologic survey showed that the hygiene hypothesis and intestinal bacterial flora might influence the development of symptoms and remission of allergic diseases. PMID: 25785748 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The 2018 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Foundation Faculty Development awardees
As indicated in an editorial last year,1 fostering and promoting the development of our junior colleagues is one of the core missions of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, This is in keeping with the mission of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma& Immunology Foundation. The Foundation was established in 1988 and began awarding support in 1993. Between 1993 and 2017, the Foundation granted 31 major awards ($40,000 or more) to young investigators/fellows. As of 2018, an estimated 30 of the original awardees are still working in academia.

Improving Pediatric Resident Knowledge of Early Peanut Introduction Guidelines and Its Impact on an Academic Allergy Clinic
The Learning Early About Peanut (LEAP) study provided insight regarding peanut introduction to those at risk of developing peanut allergy. Despite subsequent guidelines, our allergy practice has not observed an increase in referrals regarding early peanut introduction. We hypothesized that a general lack of awareness of these guidelines in a pediatric residency program was partially responsible and we developed an educational project to improve resident knowledge.

An academic allergy unit during COVID-19 pandemic in Italy
Recently, Codispoti et  al1 delineated the clinical and academic challenges that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic raised at their Division of Allergy and Immunology. They rapidly coordinated a lot of stressful changes in established practices to meet academic and health care needs. Besides congratulating the authors for their promptness, we here share our experience in getting across the COVID-19 pandemic in our Allergy Clinic, at Humanitas Research Hospital in Milan, where the epidemic first started in Italy.
