The increase in allergic conditions based on a review of literature
Postepy Dermatol Alergol. 2023 Feb;40(1):1-7. doi: 10.5114/ada.2022.119009. Epub 2022 Aug 24.ABSTRACTThe global interest in allergic disease epidemiology in the 20th and 21st centuries is a result of their growing prevalence of unprecedented, pandemic proportions. According to the 2011 White Book on Allergy, the prevalence of allergic conditions rises dramatically worldwide, both in developed and developing countries, with the rates of asthma ranging from 1% to 20%, allergic rhinitis from 1% to 18%, and skin allergies from 2% to 10% in various populations. The growing prevalence of allergies is particularly noticeable in c...

Science takes back seat to politics in first House hearing on origin of COVID-19 pandemic
Some scientists and legislators might have hoped this morning’s U.S. congressional hearing on the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic would move beyond partisan politics and seriously investigate what has become a
deeply divisive debate
. But members of the House of Representatives’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic mostly hammered home long-standing Republican or Democratic talking points, shedding no new light on the central question: Did SARS-CoV-2 naturally jump from animals to humans or did the virus somehow leak from a laboratory in Wuhan, China?
“It was very disappointing, and almost unbe...

The Editors ’ Choice
The circulation of upper respiratory viruses commonly associated with asthma exacerbation were dramatically reduced during community-wide COVID-19 prevention efforts. Reduced circulation of these viruses likely contributed to the reduction in emergency department (ED) visits associated with asthma during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known about whether the reduction in ED visit rates affected Black, Latinx, and White children with asthma equally. Understanding to what extent racial and ethnic disparities in ED visits were affected by the reduced circulation of viruses would lend insight into the role of viruse...

Inherited and acquired errors of type I interferon immunity govern susceptibility to COVID-19 and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children
Since the beginning of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)/coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, global sequencing efforts have led in the field of inborn errors of immunity, and inspired particularly by previous research on life-threatening influenza, they have revealed that known and novel inborn errors affecting type I interferon immunity underlie critical COVID-19 in up to 5% of cases. In addition, neutralizing autoantibodies against type I interferons have been identified in up to 20% of patients with critical COVID-19 who are older than 80 years and 20% of fatal cases, with a high...

How do bats live with so many viruses? New bat stem cells hint at an answer
Compared with other mammals, bats are notorious for hosting more viruses that are dangerous to people but not themselves. It’s an oddity that’s drawn renewed attention since COVID-19 broke out in humans—many scientists suspect the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 leaped from bats into people, directly or via an intermediate host. Seeking to create large quantities of bat tissue to help study why the flying animals are so virus-friendly, a research team now reports it has
transformed adult bat cells into versatile stem cells that can be coaxed to form many kinds of tissue
.

Dedication
I dedicate this issue to Dr Anthony Fauci, who despite his long, dedicated, distinguished, and selfless public service as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and Chief Medical Advisor to the President, has been subjected to public vilification because of his advocating public vaccination for the COVID-19 pandemic, an endorsement which has been proven to have saved millions of American lives. I am pleased to offer this dedication to celebrate his official retirement from the National Institutes of Health.

The Pandemic Sparked a Revolution in Trans Care. Washington May Let it Fade Away
This article is part of The D.C. Brief, TIME’s politics newsletter. Sign up here to get stories like this sent to your inbox.
When the Covid-19 pandemic reached US shores roughly three years ago this month, it changed everything, including how we handled the medical needs of those who were lucky enough to not have caught Covid-19. Policymakers in Washington didn’t know a lot at that point but they had more than a hunch that it was in everyone’s best interest to keep patients who weren’t battling Covid-19 from sharing the same waiting rooms as those who were, especially if the reason they were meetin...

Rates Of Corticosteroid And Antibiotic Prescriptions Are Significantly Increased With Omicron As Compared To Alpha And Delta Variants Of COVID-19 In Patients With Asthma
The novel Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic remains ongoing and is complicated by the emergence of new variants. The impact of different variants on asthma is not known although early variants were not associated with increased disease burden in asthmatics. We compared healthcare burden in asthmatics among dominant COVID-19 variants during three time periods, comparing systemic corticosteroid and antibiotic prescriptions.
