Characterizing drug-induced capillary leak syndromes using the World Health Organization VigiBase
Capillary leak syndrome (CLS) is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition1 that may result in profound hypotension, generalized or segmental edema, hemoconcentration (elevated hematocrit), and hypoalbuminemia in the absence of albuminuria, findings that are virtually pathognomonic for the disease.2 CLS can be idiopathic3-5 or secondary to autoimmune diseases, malignant hematological diseases, viral infections, snakebites, and treatments such as chemotherapies and therapeutic growth factors.

Caries in children with lactose intolerance and cow's milk protein allergy
Abstract Dental caries in 5-to-8-year-old children with cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) and lactose intolerance (LI), their treatment needs, and the consumption of milk-based products and milk derivatives by these patients were investigated. A cross-sectional study was undertaken with 200 children in southern Brazil in 2017. The clinical examination was based on the World Health Organization criteria and a questionnaire was sent to parents or legal guardians to collect information on the children's food intake, pre-existing systemic diseases, medication use, and CMPA and LI. Standardization was performed to verify concor...

Urban air pollution and climate change: “The Decalogue: Allergy Safe Tree” for allergic and respiratory diseases care
According to the World Health Organization, air pollution is closely associated with climate change and, in particular, with global warming. In addition to melting of ice and snow, rising sea level, and floodi...

Proper Cut-off Levels of Serum Specific IgE to Cefaclor for Patients with Cefaclor Allergy.
CONCLUSION: Patients with cefaclor anaphylaxis exhibit high serum IgE levels. A cut-off value of 0.11 kU/L of sIgE to cefaclor is proper for identifying patients with cefaclor allergy, and 0.44 kU/L may be useful to detect anaphylaxis. PMID: 30187704 [PubMed - in process]

Prevalence of Atopy following Mass Drug Administration with Albendazole: A Study in School Children on Flores Island, Indonesia
Conclusions: This study indicates that 1 year of MDA with albendazole was associated with a reduced prevalence of STH infections. This study shows that the prevalence of allergic sensitization increases after 1 year of albendazole treatment. Placebo-controlled and larger studies are needed to further substantiate a role of deworming treatment in an increased risk of allergic sensitization.Int Arch Allergy Immunol

Advanced proteomics and systems biology applied to study food allergy
Publication date: August 2018Source: Current Opinion in Food Science, Volume 22Author(s): Mónica Carrera, Benito Cañas, José M GallardoFood allergy is considered to be the fourth most important public health problem by the World Health Organization (WHO). As a consequence, accurate, sensitive and fast detection methods for food allergy control and investigation are highly recommendable. In this work, we present a short overview of the applications of the Advanced Proteomics and Systems Biology approaches for the study and control of food allergy. For this purpose, two consecutive proteomics strategies (Discovery and Tar...

Novel vaccines: Technology and development
The development and widespread use of vaccines, which are defined by the World Health Organization as “biological preparations that improve immunity to a particular disease,” represents one of the most significant strides in medicine. Vaccination was first applied to reduce mortality and morbidity from infectious diseases. The World Health Organization estimates that vaccines prevent 2 to 3 mill ion human deaths annually, and these numbers would increase by at least 6 million if all children received the recommended vaccination schedule.

Factors Affecting Food Allergy-Related Quality of Life From Parents' Perception in Turkish Children.
CONCLUSIONS: The Turkish FAQLQ-PF is a valid and reliable scale. FA-related QoL was significantly worse with age. Coexistent asthma, anaphylaxis regardless of its severity, cow's milk allergy, sibling allergy and the older and educated mothers seem to poorly affect QoL. PMID: 29949834 [PubMed]

Kit Mutations
Mastocytosis is a World Health Organization –defined clonal mast cell disorder characterized by significant clinicopathologic heterogeneity. Despite this diversity, a mutation of the KIT gene, most commonly D816V, is found in almost all cases and believed a driver lesion. Peripheral blood allele–specific oligonucleotide polymerase chain r eaction can reliably detect KIT D816V and is used for the initial screening of adults with suspected systemic mastocytosis. The discovery of KIT mutations as central to the pathobiology of mastocytosis has prompted development of KIT-targeted agents, including imatinib and midostaurin...

The significance of climate and environment protection for health under special consideration of skin barrier damages and allergic sequelae.
Abstract The skin, together with gut and respiratory tract, harbor a central epithelial barrier function in regards to the interaction of an individual with the environment. Continuing exposure to environmental influences can cause epithelial barrier damages and thus pave the way for atopy development. The latter describes the tendency for allergies, i. e. hypersensitivity of the skin, intestine, and respiratory tract towards per se unharmful environmental substances.Allergies are classified as non-communicable diseases (NCDs). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), they are presently the most demand...

Cutaneous Mastocytosis in Adults and Children
The skin is one of the most frequent tissues affected in patients with mastocytosis, but cutaneous lesions are highly heterogeneous in shape, size, color, number, localization, and distribution. The World Health Organization recognizes 3 subtypes of cutaneous mastocytosis (CM): maculopapular CM (MPCM), diffuse CM, and mastocytoma of skin. An international task force of experts in mastocytosis has recently proposed subdividing MPCM into monomorphic and polymorphic, which could predict the duration of the disease in children. More research is warranted to develop an improved classification of CM that ideally should incorpora...

Indoor mould exposure, asthma and rhinitis: findings from systematic reviews and recent longitudinal studies
Starting from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and World Health Organization (WHO) reports, this review provides an overview of the literature published from 2006 to 2017 on the associations between indoor mould exposure and asthma and rhinitis separately in children and adults with a focus on longitudinal epidemiological studies. A systematic search of peer-reviewed literature was performed, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, longitudinal, incident case–control and panel studies. 61 publications were identified reporting visible mould or mould odour or quantitative assessment of culturable fungi or mould...
