The Effectiveness of Probiotics in Treating Food and Cow's Milk Allergies among Pediatric Age Group: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Iran J Allergy Asthma Immunol. 2023 Apr 30;22(2):124-137. doi: 10.18502/ijaai.v22i2.12674.ABSTRACTThe global prevalence of allergies is on the rise. Food allergies are of special concern among children under 5 years of age, leading to morbidity and mortality. Though the standard management is avoidance, probiotics are being used widely to prevent and treat food allergies. We aimed to determine the effect of probiotics as a therapeutic option for controlling food and cow's milk allergy among children under 5 years of age. A systematic search of electronic medical literature databases was conducted. We included all eligible ...

Evaluation of the frequency of food allergens based on skin prick test in children in Kurdistan Province - Iran.
CONCLUSION: Since food allergy has a high prevalence in children, it should be considered with great interest. Considering that avoiding food allergens is the first step in the treatment of food allergies, the present study may be a useful guide in this regard.

Allergenicity reduction of bovine milk β-lactoglobulin by proteolytic activity of lactococcus lactis BMC12C and BMC19H isolated from Iranian dairy products.
Abstract
Nowadays health benefits of bioactive food constituents, known as probiotic microorganisms, are a growing awareness. Cow's milk is a nutritious food containing probiotic bacteria. However, milk allergenicity is one of the most common food allergies. The milk protein, β-lactoglobulin (BLG), is in about 80% of all main cases of milk allergies for children and infants. With the aim of screening proteolytic strains of lactic acid bacteria to evaluate their potential for the reduction of allergenicity of the major bovine milk proteins, we isolated new proteolytic strains of cocci lactic acid bacteria from tra...

Air Microbiome and Pollution: Composition and Potential Effects on Human Health, Including SARS Coronavirus Infection.
Authors: Moelling K, Broecker F
Abstract
Polluted air poses a significant threat to human health. Exposure to particulate matter (PM) and harmful gases contributes to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, including allergies and obstructive lung disease. Air pollution may also be linked to cancer and reduced life expectancy. Uptake of PM has been shown to cause pathological changes in the intestinal microbiota in mice and humans. Less is known about the effects of pollution-associated microbiota on human health. Several recent studies described the microbiomes of urban and rural air samples, of the stratosphere ...

Comparison of immunomodulating properties of Beta-lactoglobulin and its hydrolysates.
Abstract
Cow's milk allergy is one of the most common food allergies in childhood. Beta-lactoglobulin (β- lg) is a dominant allergen in cow's milk. Hydrolysis is known as an effective method to reduce the allergenicity of proteins. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare the allergenicity of β-lg and its hydrolysates using an animal model.Twenty four BALB/c mice were divided into three groups and subcutaneously injected with native bovine β-lg and its hydrolysates on days 0, 7 and 14. During the sensitization period, a number of systemic anaphylactic indicators were observed in mice sensitized by β-lg...

Intradermal Skin Testing in Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma with Negative Skin Prick Tests.
This study involved 4223 patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) and/or bronchial asthma (BA). SPT results were positive in 2419 patients (57%) and negative in 1804 (43%). IDST was applied to 344 patients with marked allergic symptoms and with negative SPT results. Out of 344 patients, 152 (44%) showed allergic sensitization to IDST. The most commonly encountered allergic response was against the house dust mite (HDM) (32.6%). Allergic response against fungal spores was also relatively high (22%), while the pollen allergy rate (4.3%) was quite low. In BA patients with negative prick test, IDST made a significant contribution ...

Pediatric Asthma Prevalence: The First National Population ‐based Survey in Iran
ConclusionsThe prevalence of asthma and severe asthma in pediatric population of Iran was similar to other developing countries. It is recommended to pay special attention to urban regions, male individuals, and higher age groups for better controlling of asthma. Nevertheless, further national surveys are necessary to determine the trend of pediatric asthma in Iran.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Factors Influencing Atopic Dermatitis Incidence in Offspring.
Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, recurrent skin condition resulting from both genetic and environmental factors. In recent decades, the prevalence of AD has increased considerably in some countries. However, given that the role of genetics is unlikely to have changed over this short period, the increased prevalence is more likely to be explained by changes in environmental and maternal factors. The aim of this review is to comprehensively summarize the various factors impacting AD incidence in offspring and provide guidance for primary prevention. Recent research has demonstrated that environmental an...

Sinonasal sarcoidosis in Iran
Conclusions: Sinonasal involvement in patients with sarcoidosis may not be correctly detected only based on the symptoms. Hence, we suggest CT scan as the first diagnostic step in patients suspected to sinonasal involvements. In the case of observing an abnormal CT pattern and an increase in the level of ACE, further histopathologic examinations on the sinonasal biopsies is recommended.

Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibody against Vit v1: A Grape Allergen Belonging to Lipid Transfer Protein Family.
Abstract
Allergy to non-specific lipidtransfer protein (nsLTP), the major allergen of grape (Vit v1), is considered as one of the most common fruit allergies in Iran. Therefore, a specific monoclonal antibody (mAb) can be used for the characterization and assessment of. Accordingly, this study aimed to generate and characterize a mAb against Vit v1 with a diagnostic purpose. To this end, Vit v1 allergen (9 kDa) was extracted using a modified Bjorksten extraction method. Natural Vit v1-immunized mouse splenocytes were fused with SP2/0Ag-14 myeloma cells for generating hybridoma cells. Specific antibody-secreting Hy...

Evaluation of the frequency and diagnostic delay of primary immunodeficiency disorders among suspected patients based on the 10 warning sign criteria: A cross-sectional study in Iran.
CONCLUSION: Ten warning sign scoring system is of less value to consider a patient suspected of having primary immune deficiency. There is a meaningful delay in diagnosis of primary immune deficiencies especially in antibody deficiency defects which seeks further upgrading of knowledge in physicians.
