Nasopharyngeal microbial profiles associated with the risk of airway allergies in early childhood
CONCLUSIONS: The composition of the nasopharyngeal microbiota alteration may have an influence on childhood respiratory allergies. The inverse association between bacterial richness and allergies postulated that children living in a microbially hygienic environment may increase their risk of developing respiratory allergies.PMID:35288032 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmii.2022.01.006

A146: Strategies for Assessment and Management of Severe Environmental Allergies at “Camp JRA”
Conclusion:The development of increasing allergy sensitivities and concerns by families and patients requires a proactive plan for residential camps of children with rheumatic disease. We hve developed a model for assessing allergies and reaction preparedness.

Spring allergies linked to specific food allergies, says specialist
More than 45 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies, primarily occurring in spring and fall. Food allergies are closely linked to spring allergies, says one expert. "Birch pollen often also means allergies to apples, peaches, carrots and celery while grass allergies can trigger melon, tomatoes and oranges reactions," he says. "Ragweed, the most noxious allergen, is also linked to allergies to bananas, cucumber and cantaloupe."

Common bacteria could help prevent food allergies
ConclusionThis research examined how normal populations of gut bacteria influence mouse susceptibility to peanut allergens. The findings suggest the Clostridia group of bacteria may have a particular role in altering the immune defenses of the gut lining and preventing some of the food allergen entering the bloodstream. The findings inform the theory that our increasingly sterile environments and increased use of antibiotics could lead to a reduction in our normal gut bacteria, which could possibly lead to people developing a sensitivity to allergens.But these findings are in the very early stages. So far, only mice have b...

Update: molecular diagnostics of allergies to vegetables and fruits
Summary
Most studies on the prevalence of food allergy report regional data. Pan-European multicenter cross-sectional studies on the prevalence of food allergies such as investigated within the framework of the EuroPrevall project are unfortunately not yet published. Based on published data, however, allergies to fruits and vegetables are among the most prevalent in food allergies in adolescence and adulthood. The current review on molecular diagnostics of fruit and vegetable allergies summarizes data on allergen component-based diagnosis gained primarily from patients with challenge-confirmed food allergies and ...

Patient-reported allergies cause inferior outcomes after total knee arthroplasty
Conclusion
Patients with at least one self-reported allergy have worse post-operative outcomes in terms of the WOMAC and KSS-Knee scores after TKA than patients without allergies. These poor outcomes do not seem to be related to depression. Therefore, more research is needed to explain them. Reported allergies could be considered a prognostic factor and used when counselling TKA patients.

Number of patient-reported allergies helps distinguish epilepsy from psychogenic nonepileptic seizures.
In this study, we investigated if the number of patient-reported allergies distinguishes between PNES and epilepsy. Excessive allergy-reporting, like PNES, may reflect somatization. Using electronic medical records, ICD-9 codes, and text-identification algorithms to search EEG reports, we identified 905 cases of confirmed PNES and 5187 controls with epilepsy but no PNES. Patients with PNES averaged more self-reported allergies than patients with epilepsy alone (1.93 vs. 1.00, p<0.001). Compared to those with no allergies, each additional allergy linearly increased the percentage of patients with PNES by 2.98% (R(2)=0.71...

Allergies Are Associated with Increased Disease Activity in Multiple Sclerosis (P2.187)
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that patients who have food allergies have a more active disease than those without allergies. Exploration of allergy-associated immune mechanisms that modulate MS disease course is required.Disclosure: Dr. Diaz-Cruz has received research support from Merck Serono.

Diagnostic Utility of Total IgE in Foods, Inhalant, and Multiple Allergies in Saudi Arabia.
Conclusion. Total IgE assay is not efficient as a diagnostic test for foods, inhalant, or multiple allergies. The best strategy should refer to specific IgE testing guided by a comprehensive atopic history.

Prevalence of non-food allergies among non-immigrants, long-time immigrants and recent immigrants in Canada.
CONCLUSION: This study finds a distinctly lower prevalence of non-food allergies among immigrants compared with non-immigrants, with the difference diminishing with longer duration of residence in Canada. The findings highlight the potential of environmental determinants of allergy development that warrant further investigation, and demonstrate the need for multicultural strategies to manage the public health burden of allergic conditions.

This Children's Book Puts The Spotlight On Kids With Food Allergies
With her new children’s book, Ginny Heenan aims to help kids with food allergies by making one the main character.
In Avril Knows, Heenan writes about a girl named Avril who has a nut allergy. Her parents ask an artist named Jophiel, who is also their neighbor, to paint a portrait of her. Jophiel learns about the precautions Avril must take because of her allergy and discovers that some kids get mad at her at school because they can’t have certain food in the classroom. In the end, Jophiel uses her portrait of Avril to show her how powerful and special she is ― food allergy and all.
The story is especially p...

Knowledge of allergies and performance in epinephrine auto-injector use: a controlled intervention in preschool teachers
Conclusion: A single education session substantially improved preschool teachers ’ attitudes and knowledge in allergies and anaphylactic emergencies. Additionally, their practical performance in auto-injector administration increased.What is Known:•Food allergies are increasing among children.•The knowledge about allergies and anaphylactic emergencies is poor.What is New:•The proportion of teachers who felt well-prepared for an anaphylactic emergency increased after a single education session.•The proportion of auto-injector administrations without any drug-related problems additionally increased due to an education session.

Millions of People Wrongly Believe They Have Food Allergies
These days, it can seem like just about everybody has a food allergy. But according to a new study, about 11% of American adults actually do.
Yet 19% of adults believe they have a food allergy, even though some don’t have the diagnosis or symptoms to back it up, according to findings published in JAMA Network Open.
This discrepancy suggests that quite a few adults are conflating allergies with less-severe food intolerances, which typically come with minimal digestion-related symptoms, the researchers write. If someone is truly allergic to a food, eating it can trigger a potentially life-threatening immune response. (...
