Quality of Life Among Food Allergic Patients and Their Caregivers
Abstract Food allergy is increasing in prevalence worldwide. This review summarizes progress made studying relationships between food allergy and quality of life (QOL), with an emphasis on recent work in the field. Early work examining QOL among food allergy patients established that stress and anxiety associated with continuous allergen avoidance and the looming threat of anaphylaxis were associated with significantly impaired food allergy quality of life (FAQOL) for children with food allergy and their caregivers. Recent clinical studies suggest that undergoing oral food challenge to confirm food allergy and or...

Current state and future of pediatric allergology in Europe: A road map
Abstract The history of pediatric allergology (PA) in Europe is relatively youthful, dating back to 1984, when a small group of pediatricians founded the European Working Group on Pediatric Allergy and Immunology—later giving rise to ESPACI (European Society on Pediatric Allergology and Clinical Immunology). In 1990, the first dedicated journal, Pediatric Allergy and Immunology (PAI), was founded. There are striking differences across Europe, and even within European countries, in relation to the training pathways for doctors seeing children with allergic disease(s). In 2016, the EAACIClemens von Pirquet Foundation (CvP)...

Early Nutrition as a Major Determinant of 'Immune Health': Implications for Allergy, Obesity and Other Noncommunicable Diseases.
Authors: Prescott SL Abstract Early-life nutritional exposures are significant determinants of the development and future health of all organ systems. The dramatic rise in infant immune diseases, most notably allergy, indicates the specific vulnerability of the immune system to early environmental changes. Dietary changes are at the center of the emerging epigenetic paradigms that underpin the rise in many modern inflammatory and metabolic diseases. There is growing evidence that exposures in pregnancy and the early postnatal period can modify gene expression and disease susceptibility. Although modern dietary chan...

Infant Feeding: Foods, Nutrients and Dietary Strategies to Prevent Allergy.
Authors: Beyer K Abstract Food allergy is a common disease. In recent years, recommendations for the prevention of food allergy have been shifted from avoidance strategies to active oral tolerance induction. Due to evidence from observational studies, it has been suggested that sensitization occurs via the skin especially in children with atopic dermatitis due to skin barrier defects, whereas early oral introduction of the allergenic food(s) will promote tolerance. The current evidence does not justify recommendations about either withholding or encouraging exposure to potentially allergenic food(s) after 4 months ...

Hydrolyzed Proteins in Allergy.
Authors: Salvatore S, Vandenplas Y Abstract Hydrolyzed proteins are used worldwide in the therapeutic management of infants with allergic manifestations and have long been proposed as a dietetic measure to prevent allergy in at risk infants. The degree and method of hydrolysis, protein source and non-nitrogen components characterize different hydrolyzed formulas (HFs) and may determine clinical efficacy, tolerance and nutritional effects. Cow's milk (CM)-based HFs are classified as extensively (eHF) or partially HF (pHF) based on the percentage of small peptides. One whey pHF has been shown to reduce atopic dermati...

Developing aerosol vaccines for Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Workshop proceedings: April 9, 2014, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Bethesda, Maryland, USA.
Abstract On April 9, 2014, Aeras and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases convened a workshop entitled "Developing Aerosol Vaccines for Mycobacterium tuberculosis" in Bethesda, MD. The purpose of the meeting was to explore the potential for developing aerosol vaccines capable of preventing infection with M. tuberculosis (Mtb), preventing the development of active tuberculosis (TB) among those latently infected with Mtb, or as immunotherapy for persons with active TB. The workshop was organized around four key questions relevant to developing and assessing aerosol TB vaccines: (1) What is the c...

Summary and recommendations from a National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) workshop on "Gonorrhea Vaccines: the Way Forward".
Abstract There is an urgent need for the development of an anti-gonococcal vaccine due to the increasing drug resistance found in this pathogen. The U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) has identified multidrug-resistant gonococci (GC) as one of 3 "urgent" hazard level threats to the U.S. POPULATION: In light of this, on June 29-30, 2015, the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) sponsored a workshop entitled "Gonorrhea Vaccines: the Way Forward". The goals of the workshop were to gather leaders in the field to discuss several key questions on the current status of gonorrhea vaccine ...

Waning Immunity and Microbial Vaccines - Workshop of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Abstract Since the middle of the 20th century, vaccines have made a significant public health impact controlling infectious diseases globally. Although long-term protection has been achieved with some vaccines, immunity wanes over time with others, resulting in outbreaks or epidemics of infectious diseases. Long-term protection against infectious agents with complex life cycles and antigenic variation remains a key challenge. Novel strategies to characterize the short and long-term immune responses to vaccines, and to induce immune responses that mimic natural infection have recently emerged. New technologies and ...
