Thunderstorm‐related asthma: what happens and why
Summary The fifth report issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change forecasts that greenhouse gases will increase the global temperature as well as the frequency of extreme weather phenomena. An increasing body of evidence shows the occurrence of severe asthma epidemics during thunderstorms in the pollen season, in various geographical zones. The main hypotheses explaining association between thunderstorms and asthma claim that thunderstorms can concentrate pollen grains at ground level which may then release allergenic particles of respirable size in the atmosphere after their rupture by osmotic shock. Durin...

Increase in pollen sensitization in Swedish adults and protective effect of keeping animals in childhood
ConclusionPollen sensitization has increased in Swedish adults since the early 1990′s, while the prevalence of sensitization to other allergens has remained unchanged. This is one plausible explanation for the increase in rhinitis 1990‐2008 in Swedish adults, during which time the prevalence of asthma, which is more associated with perennial allergens, was stable. Contact with animals in childhood seems to reduce the risk of sensitization well into adulthood. One major factor contributing to the rise in pollen allergy is a significant increase in levels of birch and grass pollen over the past three decades.This article...

Are Basophils and Mast Cells Masters in HIV Infection?
The World Health Organization AIDS epidemic update estimates that more than 37 million people are living with HIV infection. Despite the unprecedented success of antiretroviral treatments, significant challenges remain in the fight against HIV. In particular, how uninfected cells capture HIV and transmit virions to target cells remains an unanswered question. Tissue mast cells and peripheral blood basophils can be exposed to virions or HIV products during infection. Several HIV proteins (i.e., envelope glycoproteins gp120 and gp41, Tat, and Nef) can interact with distinct surface receptors expressed by human basophils and ...

Early life travelling does not increase risk of atopic outcomes until 15 years: Results from GINIplus and LISAplus
ConclusionsEarly life travelling does not seem to increase risk of atopic outcomes. Nevertheless, as we could not account for the type of visited environment or length of stay, these first findings should be interpreted with caution.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Asthma and Allergy "Epidemic" and the Role of Vitamin D Deficiency.
Authors: Douros K, Boutopoulou B, Fouzas S, Loukou I Abstract The increase in asthma and allergies prevalence that has been recorded in many countries during the last decades, and the reemergence of vitamin D (VD) deficiency in many populations worldwide, renders fairly plausible the assumption of an underlying association between these two conditions and justifies the research effort invented in this issue. Indeed, there is growing body of evidence from epidemiological, laboratory, and clinical studies, suggesting that such an association does exist. The hypothesis of low levels of VD leading to compromised fetal ...

There's an allergy epidemic in Africa, and not enough specialists to deal with it
(Elsevier) Allergies are on the rise in Africa, but with too few specialists to treat them, and a parallel increase in immune deficiency diseases, the situation is worse than we thought. According to researchers from Ain Shams University in Egypt in an article in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, the answer is more funding, motivated governments and better scientific partnerships.

Modulating the Microbiome: The Future of Allergy Therapeutics?
The incidence of IgE sensitization and associated diseases has been on the rise since the late 19th century reaching epidemic proportions in the current era.1 This increase has occurred over just four generations, a rate that far exceeds the rate at which genetics alone could account for the change. Explaining the cause for this epidemic has proven to be a challenge for epidemiologists, scientists and clinical researchers alike. In 1980, David Strachan proposed the well-known “hygiene hypothesis” which proposed that the increase in hay fever and eczema was a result of the decrease in “opportunity for cross infection ...

Researchers warn: junk food could be responsible for the food allergy epidemic
(Spink Health) Experts at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition are today presenting the results of a study that show higher levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), found in abundance in junk food, are associated with food allergy in children.
