Parental risk factors for oesophageal atresia
CONCLUSION: Maternal factors like previous abortions, obesity and immunological predispositions like existence of allergies combined with increased daily dairy consumption influenced obviously the occurrence of OA.PMID:36925362 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2023.03.001

Red Meat Allergies after Lone Star Tick (Amblyomma americanum) Bites.
Authors: Diaz JH Abstract Red meat allergies have followed tick bites on every continent except Antarctica. The sensitizing antigen is galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-gal), an oligosaccharide constituent of nonprimate blood and meat, acquired by ticks during animal bloodfeeding. Because red meat allergy after tick bites is a worldwide phenomenon, the objectives of this review were to describe the global epidemiology of red meat allergy after tick bites and its immunological mechanisms; to identify the human risk factors for red meat allergy after tick bites; to identify the most common tick vectors of red meat aller...

Big Slice of Red Meat Allergies Tied to Tick Bites
TUESDAY, July 31, 2018 -- Deer ticks are scary enough. Now, scientists have linked bites from the lone star tick to about one-third of all potentially life-threatening allergic reactions around Tennessee. A lone star tick bite can cause a severe...

Tick-induced allergies: mammalian meat allergy and tick anaphylaxis.
Authors: van Nunen SA Abstract Mammalian meat allergy after tick bites and tick anaphylaxis are the most serious tick-induced allergies. They are often severe, should be largely avoidable and offer fascinating insights into the development and prevention of allergies. Australian clinicians reported the first cases of tick anaphylaxis and discovered the association between tick bites and the development of mammalian meat allergy. The subsequent finding of the allergen epitope within the meat responsible for the allergic reaction, α-gal (galactose-α-1,3-galactose), stimulated further interest in this emergent aller...
