A systematic review of clinical pharmacist interventions in paediatric hospital patients
Conclusion: This review found that clinical pharmacists in paediatric wards may reduce drug-related problems and improve patient outcomes. The benefits of pharmacist involvement appear greatest when directly involved in ward rounds, due to being able to more rapidly identify medication errors during the prescribing phase, and provide real-time advice and recommendations to prescribers.What is Known:• Complex paediatric conditions can require multiple pharmaceutical treatments, utilised in a safe manner to ensure good patient outcomes• The benefits of pharmacist interventions when using these treatments are well-documen...

Student and Parent Perspectives on Severe Food Allergies at College
Constant vigilance to manage severe food allergies (FAs) can lead to high stress. Additional stress may develop during life-course transitions, such as the transition to college. However, few studies have evaluated everyday and FA-related stress in college students with FA and their parents. This analysis examined experiences of 26 college students with FA and their parents.

How Should Fruits and Vegetables Be Washed?
Discussion Fruits and vegetables are great sources of nutrition and often are eaten raw. However, they can become contaminated during harvest, transportation, production, preparation and storage. Produce accounts for about half of all foodborne illness and about 20% of foodborne deaths. Outbreaks have been associated with all food sources including home gardens, local farms and large scale commercial food operations. Vegetables most associated with illness are leafy green vegetables, herbs and sprouts. Learning Point What are the best ways to keep raw fruits and vegetables safe? “Wash your hands with hot soapy water...

Dietetic management of non-IgE mediated allergies in children
The World Allergy Organisation defines any adverse reaction to food as Food Hypersensitivity. This can be divided into immune-mediated reactions (Food Allergy) and non-immune mediated reactions (Food Intolerance). Food allergic reactions include both Immunoglobulin E (IgE) (immediate-onset) and non IgE-mediated (delayed-onset>2 hs) reactions. Non-IgE mediated reactions typically affect the gastrointestinal tract and skin, with the latter (i.e. eczema) often being classified as a mixed IgE and non-IgE mediated condition.

Nutritional management of cow's milk allergy in children: An update.
Abstract Cow's milk is one of the most common foods responsible for allergic reactions in children. Cow's milk allergy (CMA) involves immunoglobulin E (IgE)- and non-IgE-mediated reactions, the latter being both variable and nonspecific. Guidelines thus emphasize the need for physicians to recognize the specific syndromes of CMA and to respect strict diagnostic modalities. Whatever the clinical pattern of CMA, the mainstay of treatment is the elimination from the diet of cow's milk proteins. The challenge is that both the disease and the elimination diet may result in insufficient height and weight gain and bone m...

A Diagnostic Dilemma: Sometimes You ’ ll Never Know
Discussion It can be difficult to consider what is the problem when a health care provider is presented with a group of seemingly disparate signs and symptoms with a history and time course that do not match classic (or commonly atypical) disease presentations. Common things happen commonly, so when symptoms occur without the usual co-occurring symptoms, unusual symptoms or time courses, it can be challenging. The provider must develop a reasonable differential diagnosis and balance how far to go with the evaluation against how much to monitor the patient for new signs or symptoms which can provide new information. Patient...

One Child's Food Fight: A Case Study of Oral Immunotherapy Treatment for Food Allergies
The prevalence of food allergy has risen dramatically in the last two decades. Primary care providers encounter food-allergic children on a daily basis. Although the standard of care has traditionally been strict avoidance of the allergen and advisement to carry an epinephrine autoinjector in case of an accidental exposure resulting in a severe reaction, food allergy research has progressed in the past decade concerning various immunotherapies that may provide an alternate treatment strategy. Oral immunotherapy (OIT), performed under the supervision of an allergist, is the most widely studied of these therapies.
