The Critical Role of Prenatal Genetic Study in Prevention of Primary Immunodeficiency in High-risk Families: The Largest Report of 107 Cases
This study aims to investigate the role of prenatal diagnosis (PND) in Iranian couples with a previous history of primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDD) in their family. All referred couples with a family history of PIDD and a tendency for PND were included in this project. Based on gestational age, chorionic villus sampling (CVS) was performed to analyze the molecular defect of the fetus according to the previous gene defect of the affected case in the family. Postnatal confirmation was performed by immunological screening tests. In a total of 100 cases, CVS was not evaluated in 19 patients due to unwillingness (n=5), ...

Skin Prick Test Practice In Allergy Clinics During Covid-19 Pandemic
Skin prick test (SPT) is a vital tool to confirm sensitization in allergic diseases, making it a daily routine for allergists. Although SPT is not considered an aerosol-generating procedure, the close contact between the patient and the performer may pose a risk for transmitting the disease.1 For Turkish healthcare facilities, the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic started with identifying the first case and continued by a quarantine period (QP), declared at the end of March 2020. At the beginning of June 2020, the Turkish government initiated the second period and named it the “normalization period” (NP).

Allergy and Immunology Physician Workforce: Where do we stand today?
Nearly fifteen years ago, an ACAAI White Paper estimated that the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) allergist/immunologists would decline 7% from 3,660 in 2006 to 3,400 in 2020, while demand was projected to increase by 35% to>5,500. It concluded that the federal government was the only entity that had the resources to fund training the next generation of physicians.1 Hampering efforts to expand Graduate Medical Education (GME) is a continuing rule from the 1990 ’s that caps the total number of GME slots.

The Future of Health Care - A Look Forward for the Allergist
It comes as no surprise that the delivery and payment for healthcare services in the United States is constantly changing. Recently, the federal government through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Innovation (CMMI) was instructed to work toward value-based healthcare delivery models.1 CMMI was developed to address these challenges through creativity and innovation.2 The allergy-immunology specialty is small (less than 6,000 physicians), but our perspective of our nation's healthcare delivery system may be instructive for all of medicine as we adapt to these and other disruptive changes in healthcare.

Eating nuts during pregnancy is safe, new research suggests
Study of more than 8,000 children in the US casts doubt on advice to pregnant women to avoid eating nutsAdvice to pregnant women to avoid eating nuts may have been not only misleading but at odds with the potential benefits for offspring of doing so, according to research that has found children could be less likely to develop nut allergies if their mothers eat nuts during pregnancy.The study of more than 8,000 children in the US found that those with non-allergic mothers who ate nuts five times a week or more during pregnancy turned out to have the lowest risk of peanut or tree nut (P/TN) allergies.A British expert said t...

Shifting Temps May Prime You For Spring Allergies
WebMD Medical News
By Brenda Goodman, MA
Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD
March 5, 2013 — Spring allergy season is again off to an early start in many parts of the country. And doctors say there are some signs it may be even more miserable than usual this year.
Last year was the fourth warmest winter on record, with consistently mild temperatures. That led to record-breaking pollen counts that struck about a month earlier than normal in some places.
But this year, many areas got a false spring. Temperatures rose briefly and then dipped again. The swings caused pollen levels to rise, then fall, then rise again.

Food Allergies: Back to School Reminders, Chicago-area FARE Walk
From the desk of Shelly Flais, MD:Shelly Flais, MDFood allergies are on the rise; if your family is not affected by a food allergy, it is likely that your kids have a friend or classmate who is.

Skin Testing before Antibiotic Administration - Is there a Scientific basis?
Authors: Narayan P, Rupert E
Abstract
The practice of skin testing prior to administration of antibiotics in the absence of a history of allergy is non-existent in the western world. Reports on skin testing in the absence of known allergy are unheard of in the medical literature. The practice of giving a test dose prior to administration of the antibiotic is also practiced very sporadically and has no scientific basis. Despite this In India in most major institutions both in government and private hospitals , general practice set up and small and medium nursing homes, skin testing prior to administration of antibio...

Research in brief – 28 November 2013
Our weekly round-up aimed at showcasing the latest research across the subject spectrum at UK universitiesScience and technology• University of SouthamptonIntroducing solid food with breast milk after the 17th week of birth could reduce food allergies in babies, research shows. By giving babies solid food alongside breastfeeding, it helps develop a better, stronger immune system to fight against food allergies. Kate Grimshaw, a dietitian and senior research fellow at Southampton University, says: "The immune system becomes educated when there is an overlap of solids and breast milk because the milk promotes tolerogenic m...

What It's Like to Be Allergic to Water
(Photo-Illustration: Photos: Corbis) By Alexa Tsoulis-Reay In 1963, a 15-year-old girl presented herself to a pair of dermatologists in Pennsylvania complaining that she'd broken out in angry, red lesions after a session of waterskiing. That first mysterious outbreak became a trend: Blotchy, itchy hives would pop up all over her limbs every time she took a bath, went swimming, or perspired heavily. The doctors conducted a series of tests to rule out obvious possible triggers like cold and, using a hand towel soaked in distilled water, identified a condition called aquagenic urticaria: Sufferers are so sensitive to pure w...

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...
