P003 an educational workshop to properly de-label penicillin allergic patients using telemedicine
Over 90% of penicillin-allergic labeled patients upon testing are found to not be allergic. We conducted a workshop to increase knowledge and comfortability among medical residents in order to properly de-label patients with a history of penicillin allergy, using telemedicine.

P001 allergists lead anaphylaxis preparedness virtual workshops for early childhood professionals amidst the covid-19 pandemic
The early childhood population has high rates of food allergy. This same population often attends early childhood education programs (e.g. daycare, preschool). Unfortunately, many programs lack adequate training to prepare staff to confidently recognize and respond to anaphylaxis. We have previously provided in-person workshops; however, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a pivot to live, online workshops for early childhood professionals (ECPs).

Genes Interacting with Occupational Exposures to Low Molecular Weight Agents and Irritants on Adult-Onset Asthma in Three European Studies
Conclusions: Using a pathway-based selection process, we identified novel genes potentially involved in adult asthma by interaction with occupational exposure. These genes play a role in the NF-κB pathway, which is involved in inflammation.

When Peanuts Are Poison -- No Joke!
When my son was five, I signed him up for a daily nature camp. I had vetted the camp and felt comfortable with him attending with his peanut allergy because his counselors were all teachers who had previous experience with food allergies. He loved this program, waddling in the pond, taking samples, learning new facts, and told me his counselors carried his Epi-Pen wherever they wandered. He came home on day three telling me that another child had waved a sandwich in his face, in order to scare him. It was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He had gone straight to the counselor who had handled it beautifully by taking the ...

Expanding Research Capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa Through Informatics, Bioinformatics, and Data Science Training Programs in Mali
Conclusion Bioinformatics and data science training programs in developing countries necessitate incremental and collaborative strategies for their feasible and sustainable development. The progress described here covered decades of collaborative efforts centered on training and research on computationally intensive topics. These efforts laid the groundwork and platforms conducive for hosting a bioinformatics and data science training program in Mali. Training programs are perhaps best facilitated through Africa’s university systems as they are perhaps best positioned to maintain core resources during lapses in sho...

A Novel Human Microbe-Disease Association Prediction Method Based on the Bidirectional Weighted Network
Conclusion Human microbiome is normal flora for humans, which has been proved to be of symbiotic relationship with humans and harmless to humans. If the microbes that breed in the human body become “unhealthy,” it will definitely affect the host's physical condition. People are continuing to explore the pathologic relationship between microorganisms and the human body through high-throughput sequencing technologies and analysis systems. However, it is a pity that their pathogenesis cannot be fully understood as yet. Considering that relying only on conventional experimental methods is time-consumin...

Preventing atopy and allergic disease.
Authors: Heine RG Abstract Due to the recent exponential increase in food allergies and atopic disorders, effective allergy prevention has become a public health priority in many developed regions. Important preventive strategies include the promotion of breastfeeding and vaginal deliveries, judicious use of perinatal antibiotics, as well as the avoidance of maternal tobacco smoking. Breastfeeding for at least 6 months and introduction of complementary solids from 4-6 months are generally recommended. Complex oligosaccharides in breast milk support the establishment of bifidobacteria in the neonatal gut which stimu...

Lessons from Toxicology: Developing a 21st-Century Paradigm for Medical Research
Conclusions Our proposed new research paradigm, adapted from 21st-century toxicology, would involve the following aspects: Developing a big picture of human diseases, integrating extrinsic and intrinsic causes, and linking environmental sciences with medical research using systems biology. Introducing a disease AOP concept, analogous to toxicity AOPs, with the intention of providing a unified framework for describing relevant pathophysiology pathways and networks across multiple biological levels. Creating a strong focus on advanced human-specific research (in vitro, ex vivo, in vivo, and in silico) in place of empirical,...

Children ’s Environmental Health: Homes of Influence
This article provides a very broad overview of some of the key players that influence the environmental contributions to childhood asthma. It should suggest to the reader that with regard to CEH, the players and issues are many and complex. The need for a comprehensive stakeholder management tool (map) that identifies the stakeholders in CEH, their respective interests and roles, and how they are interconnected, is warranted for effective systems change efforts. It would inform future initiatives borne of the recommendations identified by “A Blueprint for Protecting Children’s Environmental Health: An Urgent Call to Ac...

NIAID Is Dedicated To Saving The Lives Of People With TB
Originally published on niaid.nih.gov Statement of Christine F. Sizemore, PhD., Richard Hafner, M.D., and Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious DiseasesNational Institutes of Health Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the world’s most devastating infectious diseases. March 24th marks the day in 1882 when German microbiologist Robert Koch announced he had discovered Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes this ancient scourge. Today, in recognition of World TB Day, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)...

A Bidirectional Label Propagation Based Computational Model for Potential Microbe-Disease Association Prediction
Discussion There are numerous microbial communities inhabited in the human body, which is critical to human health. The relationship between human microbiome and diseases received much attention from both medical and bioinformatics community recently. However, traditional methods to detect their association is costly and labor-intensive. Thus, we proposed here a new computational model called NBLPIHMDA to infer potential microbe-disease associations. NBLPIHMDA first combined known microbe-disease associations in HMDAD and the Gaussian interaction profile kernel similarity to construct disease similarity network and microb...

Using Food and Nutritional Strategies to Induce Tolerance in Food-Allergic Children.
Authors: Nowak-Węgrzyn A Abstract Food allergy is an important and increasing public health problem worldwide, affecting predominantly infants and young children. There is an urgent need to develop effective treatment strategies to restore oral tolerance in food-allergic individuals. Among diverse research approaches, those involving native or heat-modified food proteins are most advanced and are currently being evaluated in clinical trials. Extensively heated (baked) milk and egg diets have already been adopted in clinical practice and benefit the majority of milk- and egg-allergic children. Oral, sublingual and ...
