Update on Timing and Source of 'Allergenic' Foods.
Authors: Palmer DJ Abstract As the prevalence of food allergies in many communities continues to rise, the question of when in infancy to introduce any solid foods, or specific 'more allergenic' foods, as a food allergy prevention strategy has been debated. Observational studies have found that introducing any solid foods prior to 4 months of age was associated with an increased risk of allergic disease. Hence, the current allergy prevention consensus recommendation is that the introduction of any solid foods should commence after 4 months of age. Over recent years, several randomized controlled trials have been co...

Bacterial Colonization of the Newborn Gut, Immune Development, and Prevention of Disease.
Authors: Walker WA Abstract We now know that the fetus does not reside in a sterile intrauterine environment but is exposed to commensal bacteria from the maternal gut which cross the placenta and infiltrate the amniotic fluid. This exposure to colonizing bacteria continues at birth and during the first year of life, and it has a profound influence on lifelong health. Why is this important? Cross talk with colonizing bacteria in the developing neonatal intestine helps in the initial adaptation of the infant to extrauterine life, particularly in acquiring immune homeostasis, and provides protection against disease e...

Weekly Personal Ozone Exposure and Respiratory Health in a Panel of Greek Schoolchildren
Conclusions: The study provides evidence that airway inflammation and the frequency of respiratory symptoms increase, whereas lung function decreases with increased ozone exposure in schoolchildren. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP635 Received: 09 June 2016 Revised: 08 March 2017 Accepted: 13 March 2017 Published: 21 July 2017 Please address correspondence to A.

NIH experts discuss post-acute COVID-19
(NIH/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) Many people who have COVID-19 make a full recovery and return to their baseline state of health; however, some people have symptoms or other sequelae weeks or months after initial SARS-CoV-2 infection. These symptoms were the subject of the " Workshop on Post-acute Sequelae of COVID-19 " hosted on Dec. 2 and 4, 2020, by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), in collaboration with other institutes and centers of the NIH.

Immune Dysfunction from Radiation Exposure
Radiat Res. 2023 Sep 13. doi: 10.1667/RADE-22-00197.1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExposure to ionizing radiation causes acute damage and loss of bone marrow and peripheral immune cells that can result in high mortality due to reduced resistance to infections and hemorrhage. Besides these acute effects, tissue damage from radiation can trigger inflammatory responses, leading to progressive and chronic tissue damage by radiation-induced loss of immune cell types that are required for resolving tissue injuries. Understanding the mechanisms involved in radiation-induced immune system injury and repair will provide new insig...

Role of immune cell subsets in the establishment of vector-borne infections.
Abstract Many of the pathogens responsible for diseases that result in both economic and global health burdens are transmitted by arthropod vectors in the course of a blood meal. In the past, these vectors were viewed mainly as simple delivery vehicles but the appreciation of the role that factors in the saliva of vectors play during pathogen transmission is increasing. Vector saliva proteins alter numerous physiological events in the skin; in addition, potent immunomodulatory properties are attributed to arthropod saliva. The description of specific factors responsible for these activities and their mechanisms of...
