Description and accuracy of antibiotic allergy labels at North Shore Hospital
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of antibiotic specific allergies in our centre was similar to New Zealand and Australian statistics.1,2 Our study showed that a significant proportion of inpatients with a beta-lactam-specific allergy could be de-labelled on history or with a single dose challenge.PMID:37414075

Mammoth Meatball: Meat Firm Made Mammoth DNA Meatball, Humans May Be Allergic
An Australian cultured meat firm made a giant meatball with mammoth DNA and lab-made lamb. • No one tasted the meatball out of concerns around potential allergies to the 5,000-year-old protein. • The meatball is "a striking statement" to raise awareness of meat alternatives, the firm said.…#australian #vow #african #jamesryall #ryall #lenorenewman #netherlands

Association of food allergy in children with vitamin D insufficiency: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion: Decreased maternal vitamin D levels and infant vitamin D insufficiency appear to increase the incidence of food allergies, particularly in the second year of life. To confirm this association, multicenter longitudinal studies are required.What is Known:• In newborns and young children, vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are prevalent.• The exact role of vitamin D in atopic diseases remains controversial.What is New:• Decreased maternal vitamin D levels and infant vitamin D insufficiency appear to increase the incidence of food allergies. This association is more evident in the second year of life.

Inpatient Direct Oral Penicillin Challenge – A Large Prospective Cohort Study
Penicillin allergies are associated with inferior patient and antimicrobial stewardship outcomes. The long-term implementation (3.5 years) of a whole-of-hospital program to assess the safety of inpatient delabeling by direct oral challenge for low-risk penicillin allergies in hospitalized inpatients at Austin Hospital and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Australia was described here.

Companies Are Adding Sesame to Foods. It ’ s an Unintended Consequence of a New Allergen Label Law
A new federal law requiring that sesame be listed as an allergen on food labels is having unintended consequences—increasing the number of products with the ingredient.
Food industry experts said the requirements are so stringent that many manufacturers, especially bakers, find it simpler and less expensive to add sesame to a product—and to label it—than to try to keep it away from other foods or equipment with sesame.
As a result, several companies—including national restaurant chains like Olive Garden, Wendy’s and Chick-fil-A and bread makers that stock grocery shelves and serve schools&mdas...

Use of a penicillin allergy clinical decision rule to enable direct oral penicillin provocation: an international multicentre randomised control trial in an adult population (PALACE): study protocol
Introduction
Penicillin allergies are highly prevalent in the healthcare setting and associated with the prescription of second-line inferior antibiotics. More than 85% of all penicillin allergy labels can be removed by skin testing and 96%–99% of low-risk penicillin allergy labels can be removed by direct oral challenge. An internally and externally validated clinical assessment tool for penicillin allergy, PEN-FAST, can identify a low-risk penicillin allergy without the need for skin testing; a score of less than 3 has a negative predictive value of 96.3% (95% CI, 94.1 to 97.8) for the presence of a penicillin alle...

PrEggNut Study: protocol for a randomised controlled trial investigating the effect of a maternal diet rich in eggs and peanuts from
Introduction
Clinical studies supported by immunological data indicate early life intervention strategies to be promising in reducing the growing global burden of food allergies. The events that predispose to food allergy, including the induction of allergen-specific immune responses, appear to be initiated early in development. Early exposure to food allergens in utero and via breast milk is likely to be important in initiating oral tolerance. We aim to determine the effectiveness of higher maternal food allergen consumption during pregnancy and lactation on infant food allergy outcomes.
Methods and analysis
This is a mu...

A Fourth COVID-19 Vaccine, From Novovax, Passed a Key Stage in the Authorization Process
American adults who haven’t yet gotten vaccinated against COVID-19 may soon get another choice, as advisers to the Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday backed a more traditional type of shot.
Next, the FDA must decide whether to authorize the protein vaccine made by latecomer Novavax as the nation’s fourth coronavirus shot for adults. It’s made with more conventional technology than today’s dominant Pfizer and Moderna shots and the lesser-used Johnson & Johnson option.
Novavax shots are already available in Australia, Canada, parts of Europe and multiple other countries, either for initial va...

Cohort profile: the multigeneration Respiratory Health in Northern Europe, Spain and Australia (RHINESSA) cohort
Purpose
The Respiratory Health in Northern Europe, Spain and Australia (RHINESSA) cohort was established to (1) investigate how exposures before conception and in previous generations influence health and disease, particularly allergies and respiratory health, (2) identify susceptible time windows and (3) explore underlying mechanisms. The ultimate aim is to facilitate efficient intervention strategies targeting multiple generations.
Participants
RHINESSA includes study participants of multiple generations from ten study centres in Norway (1), Denmark (1), Sweden (3), Iceland (1), Estonia (1), Spain (2) and Australia (1)....

Nip allergies in the Bub: a qualitative study for a public health approach to infant feeding for allergy prevention
CONCLUSIONS: Conducting focus groups assisted the selection of a brand, messages and resources to underpin a public health approach to implementing allergy prevention guidelines.IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: This is the first focus group research undertaken for food allergy prevention. Identification of a meaningful brand, key messages and resources will support a public health approach to implementing allergy prevention guidelines.PMID:35616393 | DOI:10.1111/1753-6405.13241
