Comparing performance of amoxicillin and intramuscular benzathine penicillin in relieving manifestations of streptococcal pharyngitis in children.
CONCLUSION: Our study was in line with studies comparing the two drugs. The results show that once-daily therapy with amoxicillin is as effective as intramuscular benzathine penicillin G for the treatment of GAS pharyngitis, but penicillin was significantly more effective in reducing exudate and concurrent signs vs. amoxicillin.

ConclusionsThis study suggested that previous exposure to mould allergens more influenced rhinitis and rhinoconjuctivitis than visible mould or dampness, and that total IgE levels of ≥78 kU/L, which was the criterion suggested in a study of Asian children, were risk factors for rhinitis diseases.This article is protected by copyright.

Experience Journal: Asthma
Asthma is the most common chronic medical condition in the U.S., affecting nearly 10 percent of the population. The rate can be even higher in children; some Boston public schools report rates as high as 16 percent among students.
Children growing up with asthma often face difficulty breathing, and they may feel isolated from their peers. While this condition can be disruptive to a child’s life, it can be well controlled with proper medical care.
The Asthma Experience Journal, created by the Boston Children’s Hospital Department of Psychiatry and the Allergy and Asthma Program, includes stories and personal experi...

Some of Manchin’s colleagues, including Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), have demanded Mylan explain the price hike. Klobuchar has also called on the Senate&...

NIH-supported researchers develop novel system to grow norovirus in intestinal cells
(NIH/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) Researchers have succeeded in culturing norovirus in human intestinal cells, a breakthrough that could help scientists develop novel therapeutics and vaccines against the debilitating effects of the virus. Intestinal cells are the natural site of norovirus infection, a leading cause of foodborne illness that is highly contagious and can produce sudden onset stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. The virus spreads easily in closed and crowded environments such as hospitals, schools and cruise ships.

Mylan CEO to testify before House panel over EpiPen pricing
(Reuters) –Mylan (NSDQ:MYL) Chief Executive Officer Heather Bresch will appear at a Sept. 21 congressional hearing over price increases for its EpiPen emergency allergy treatment, the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight Committee said in a statement on Wednesday.

Mylan, which acquired the product in 2007, recently raised the list price for a pair of EpiPen auto-injectors to $600. The price has been rising from...

Indoor allergen exposure and asthma outcomes
Purpose of review: The aim of the present review is to discuss updates on research regarding the relationship between indoor allergen exposure and childhood asthma with a focus on clinical effects, locations of exposure, and novel treatments.
Recent findings: Recent data continue to demonstrate that early life sensitization to indoor allergens is a predictor of asthma development later in life. Furthermore, avoidance of exposure to these allergens continues to be important especially given that the vast majority of children with asthma are sensitized to at least one indoor allergen. New research suggests that mouse allerg...

Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) wrote, “increasing patient access to safe, effective and affordable medications has long been a shared priority of ours.

CVS Now Selling Generic Competitor To EpiPen At A 6th Of The Price
WOONSOCKET, R.I. (AP) — CVS is now selling a rival, generic version of Mylan’s EpiPen at about a sixth of its price, just months after the maker of the life-saving allergy treatment was eviscerated before Congress because of its soaring cost to consumers.
