Inflammation, infection, and allergy of upper airways: new insights from national and real-world studies
AbstractThe upper airways (UA) should be considered as a functional unit. Current functional anatomy divides URT in three, mutually dependent, “junction boxes”: i) the ostio-meatal complex (OMC), ii) the spheno-ethmoidal recess (SER), and iii) the rhinopharynx (RP). Correct ventilation and effective mucociliary clearance of these sites significantly affect the healthy physiology of the entire respiratory system. The OMC, SER, and RP ob struction is the first pathogenic step in the inflammatory/infectious cascade of UA disorders. The inflammation of the respiratory mucosa is the main pathogenic factor for airway obstruc...

Anaphylaxis and alternative medicine: an unexpected association
Purpose of review The present review aims to evaluate the use of complementary medicine among patients with allergic disorders, highlighting the risk of adverse reactions, which are often not considered and referred by patients to specialists. Recent findings Complementary medicine is often used in clinical practice and preferred by patients as it is considered a natural therapy compared to traditional medicine. This choice is because of various cultural and socioeconomics aspects. Summary The use of complementary medicine and its adverse reactions, often as severe as anaphylaxis, is frequently reported in atopic p...

Advances in Food Allergy Treatment.
Authors: Zarif A Abstract Food allergies represent life-threatening diseases which are increasing in prevalence with no definitive treatments currently in place. Current treatments are no more than preventative avoidance and symptom management. Research within the field has focused on therapeutic developments to modify the immune response in allergen-specific and non-specific methods. This review of the advances made in treatments intends to cover methods such as oral immunotherapy, modified food protein vaccines as well as the use of alternative medicine. Thus, this review aims to inform and further extend discuss...

New perspectives on propofol allergy
CONCLUSION: There is a lack of definitive evidence that propofol must be routinely avoided in patients with reported allergies to egg, soy, and/or peanut products. Data from clinical trials suggest that propofol is safe for patients with nonanaphylactic food allergies. Patients who do experience allergic reactions following administration of propofol should undergo further testing to definitively identify the specific trigger and prevent future unnecessary avoidance of preferred medication regimens. Pharmacists can play an important role in interviewing patients with reported food allergies to better determine the risk vs ...

A Meta-Analysis of Probiotics for the Treatment of Allergic Airway Diseases in Children and Adolescents
CONCLUSION: The results of this meta-analysis indicated that probiotics treatment may reduce PRQLQs, NSS, ESS in patients with allergic airway disease. More research involving the mechanism of probiotics are needed to clarify the role of probiotics in AR and allergic asthma in children and adolescents.PMID:35238209 | DOI:10.1177/19458924221080159

Optimizing topical management of atopic dermatitis: Is it time for advancement to a systemic medication?
CONCLUSION: Several options are now available for topical treatment. A stepwise approach is needed to consider alternative therapies and diagnoses before advancing to systemic treatment, but the safety of newer immunomodulators will lower the threshold for more aggressive intervention.PMID:35288275 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2022.03.004

Immunomodulatory Effect of SINA 1.2 Therapy Protocol in Asthmatic Mice Model: A Combination of Oxymel and Sauna
Iran J Allergy Asthma Immunol. 2022 Apr 11;21(2):128-140. doi: 10.18502/ijaai.v21i2.9221.ABSTRACTAlternative medicine, has become popular in asthmatic patients. We evaluated the immunomodulatory effects of SINA 1.2 therapy protocol derived from Persian medicine in an asthmatic mice model. Forty-two male BALB/c mice divided into six groups: one control (sham) and five sensitized groups (by parenteral injection of 20 μg ovalbumin in 100 μL normal saline plus 50 μL alum on days 1 and 14). Sensitized groups were as: untreated, budesonide (1 mg nebulized budesonide: 200 μg/puff every 5 min for 25 min), dry sauna (30 min, 37...

The Role of Cobalamin on Interleukin 10, Osteopontin, and Related MicroRNAs in Multiple Sclerosis
Iran J Allergy Asthma Immunol. 2022 Jun 18;21(3):332-343. doi: 10.18502/ijaai.v21i3.9806.ABSTRACTMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Considering how vitamin B12 or cobalamin affects the immune system, especially inflammation and the formation of the myelin sheath, it appears as a complementary therapy for MS by affecting some signaling pathways. Recently diagnosed MS patients were divided into two groups (n=30). One group received interferon-beta (IFN-β or Avonex), and another received IFN-β+B12 for six months. Blood samples were taken before and after treatments...
