Giving Your Baby Peanuts Early On May Help Prevent Allergies, New Guidelines Say
Introducing peanuts early may help some babies avoid allergies, according to new guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
The guidelines, published in the journal Pediatrics, update and replace the AAP’s 2008 report on preventing atopic diseases — such as asthma, skin conditions and food allergies — in children. While the science in this area is still developing, the AAP’s new report says that there is more evidence than ever to suggest that purposefully introducing some foods to children early in life may help prevent them from developing food allergies, which affect about 8% of Amer...

Systematic Review of Nutrient Intake and Growth in Children with Multiple IgE-Mediated Food Allergies.
Conclusion: Children with multiple food allergies have a higher risk of impaired growth and may have a higher risk of inadequate nutrient intake than children without food allergies. Until more research is available, we recommend monitoring of nutrition and growth of children with multiple food allergies to prevent possible nutrient deficiencies and to optimize growth.

Growth Comparison in Children with and without Food Allergies in 2 Different Demographic Populations
Conclusions: Children with food allergies and commercial insurance have significant impairment in growth compared with those without food allergies. Additionally, children avoiding all forms of milk are shorter and weigh less than matched counterparts. Therefore, height and weight measurements should be assessed routinely in children with food allergies because there is risk for growth impairment in this population.

Allergies: Can Too Much Hygiene Actually Harm Us?
It's that time of the year again. You step out of the house and your eyes itch, your nose starts running and your head feels like an empty balloon. Yes, it's allergy season. Even the resilient ones, give them enough time and eventually they will develop some form of allergic reaction.
But what are allergies and why do so many people suffer from them?
Allergies are a glitch in our immune system. The immune system is built to recognize and destroy pathogens -- potential threats like viruses and harmful bacteria. Unlike pathogens, allergens are substances that, despite being harmless to the body, still trigger a response f...

Allergy alerts ‐ the incidence of parentally reported allergies in children presenting for general anaesthesia
ConclusionOnly the minority of parent ‐reported allergies in paediatric surgical patients were specialist confirmed and likely to be clinically relevant. Self‐reported food allergy is commonly specialist verified, reactions to medications were generally not. Over‐reporting of allergies is increasingly common and limits clinician c hoice of medications. Better education of patients and their families and more timely verification or dismissal of parent‐reported reactions is urgently needed.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

When Seasonal Allergies Get Serious
By Lacie Glover for U.S. News
Spring is finally here, and many regions in the U.S. are beginning to thaw after a treacherous winter. Many of us are eager to get outside to welcome back warmer weather.
But if you’re one of 50 million Americans with seasonal allergies, you might be dreading spring as much as others look forward to it. Spring allergy season is the worst time of year for most allergy sufferers, although some regions experience allergy-inducing weather year-round.
For most people, seasonal allergies are not severe, and over-the-counter medications are sufficient to deal with occasional flare-ups of sneezin...

Thumb sucking and nail biting not key to preventing child allergies
Conclusion
This study does not provide good evidence that thumb sucking or nail biting have any effect on a child's likelihood of developing allergies.
Overall the results give a mixed picture. Although children who sucked their thumb or bit their nails were slightly less likely to have a reaction to the skin tests, when the habits were looked at individually only thumb sucking was linked to a skin test reaction at 13 – and neither habit individually for skin tests at 32.
There were also no clear links for any specific allergic reaction – and no links at all with reported asthma or hay fever. So this doesn't give a ...

Suffering from Seasonal Allergies? Here ’ s What Experts Say Works Best
Millions of Americans spend weeks each year sneezing and sniffling due to allergies to seasonal triggers such as tree, grass, or ragweed pollen. And for the subset of people who are allergic to year-round household irritants like dust mites, mold, and cockroaches, any season can turn into allergy season.
Allergy symptoms happen when your immune system interprets what should be a relatively benign substance as a threat. The severity of symptoms and the difficulty of treating them can vary depending on your genes, how many substances you’re allergic to, and your level of exposure, says Dr. H. James Wedner, an allergy a...

Nanoparticle with mRNA appears to prevent, treat peanut allergies in mice
Key takeawaysPeanuts are one of the most common food allergens for children.UCLA scientists have developed a nanoparticle that delivers mRNA to liver cells in order to teach the immune system to tolerate peanut protein and alleviate allergies.In mice, the nanoparticle successfully dampened symptoms of serious allergy.Peanut allergies affect 1 in 50 children, and the most severe cases lead to a potentially deadly immune reaction called anaphylactic shock.Currently, there is only one approved treatment that reduces the severity of the allergic reaction, and it takes months to kick in. A group of UCLA immunologists is aiming ...

Dry-roasted peanuts may be worst for nut allergies
ConclusionThis small animal study indicates that dry-roasted nuts and nut proteins cause a larger immune reaction than raw nuts. The team hypothesise that this might explain the difference between the prevalence of nut allergies in Western countries – where dry roasting is more common – and Eastern countries – where raw nuts are more typically consumed. While this study lends some weight to this idea, it does not directly prove it.The study was consistent in its findings, giving them some validity, but we should consider that this was a small study involving mice. The findings are not directly applicable to humans, s...

Effect of prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances on childhood allergies and common infectious diseases in children up to age 7 years: The Hokkaido study on environment and children's health.
This study aimed at investigating the effects of prenatal exposure to PFAS on the prevalence of allergies and infectious diseases in children up to age 7, from the Hokkaido Study. Among mother-child pairs enrolled in the Hokkaido study and followed up until the age of 7 years, 2689 participants with maternal PFAS, 1st trimester of pregnancy and 7-year-old questionnaire survey data were included in this study. Eleven PFAS in the 3rd-trimester plasma were measured using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry. Wheeze, rhino-conjunctivitis, and eczema were defined using t...

Multiple Sclerosis Patients with Allergies Demonstrate Better Physical Outcomes but Worse Psychological Symptoms. (P6.172)
CONCLUSION: Coexistence of allergies may provide a better physical outcome in MS patients Our findings support the protective effects of Th2 mediated disorders on Th1 immune responses seen in MS. Worse psychological symptoms can be attributed to cholinergic /beta adrenergic deregulation identified in patients with allergies. Additional prospective studies are required to elucidate these relationships.Disclosure: Dr. Gupta has nothing to disclose. Dr. Kavak has nothing to disclose.
