Abortion in Iranian legal system: a review.
Abstract Abortion traditionally means, "to miscarry" and is still known as a problem which societies has been trying to reduce its rate by using legal means.

A Critical Need: Increasing Interest in the Field of Allergy and Immunology in Medical Students and Residents
It is vital for any field in medicine to attract the best and brightest learners to ensure that the specialty continues to provide outstanding clinical care and cutting-edge research. This is especially true for the field of Allergy and Immunology (AI) as graduates of AI training programs have a very large depth and breadth of environments in which to practice, from private practice to faculty at a large tertiary care medical center to working in industry, integrated healthcare organizations, or for the government.

The Critical Role of Prenatal Genetic Study in Prevention of Primary Immunodeficiency in High-risk Families: The Largest Report of 107 Cases.
This study aims to investigate the role of prenatal diagnosis (PND) in Iranian couples with a previous history of primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDD) in their family. All referred couples with a family history of PIDD and a tendency for PND were included in this project. Based on gestational age, chorionic villus sampling (CVS) was performed to analyze the molecular defect of the fetus according to the previous gene defect of the affected case in the family. Postnatal confirmation was performed by immunological screening tests. In a total of 100 cases, CVS was not evaluated in 19 patients due to unwillingness (n=5),...

Allergy and Immunology Physician Workforce
Nearly 15 years ago, an American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (ACAAI) White Paper estimated that the number of full-time equivalent allergist/immunologists would decline 7% from 3660 in 2006 to 3400 in 2020, whereas demand was projected to increase by 35% to more than 5500. It concluded that the federal government was the only entity that had the resources to fund training of the next generation of physicians.1 Hampering efforts to expand graduate medical education (GME) is a continuing rule from the 1990s that caps the total number of GME slots.

Beware Allergy Or Asthma 'Treatments' At Alternative Medicine Clinics
(Reuters Health) - Alternative medicine practitioners like homeopaths and acupuncturists may claim to treat allergies or asthma, but a study in Canada found that many there offer remedies that are unproven or even dangerous. “Complementary and alternative medicine continues to grow in popularity ― particularly in the areas of allergy and asthma ― despite ongoing controversies,” said lead author Timothy Caulfield, research director of the Health Law Institute at the University of Alberta. “Both asthma and allergies can be a serious health condition,” Caulfield told Reuters Health by email. &ldquo...

Evaluation of Bar, Barnase, and Barstar recombinant proteins expressed in genetically engineered Brassica juncea (Indian mustard) for potential risks of food allergy using bioinformatics and literature searches.
Abstract The potential allergenicity of Bar, Barnase, and Barstar recombinant proteins expressed in genetically engineered mustard for pollination control in plant breeding was evaluated for regulatory review. To evaluate the potential allergenicity of the Bar, Barnase and Barstar proteins amino acid sequence comparisons were made to those of known and putative allergens, and search for published evidence to the sources of the genes using the AllergenOnline.org database. Initial comparisons in 2012 were performed with version 12 by methods recommended by the Codex Alimentarius Commission and the Indian Council of ...

Managing Food Allergies in Schools
Abstract Food allergies are estimated to affect as many as 8 % of children with 2.5 % being allergic to peanut products. Based on the results of recent surveys, this prevalence has been increasing over the last few decades for unknown reasons. As children with food allergies reach school age, the issue is becoming more common in schools. For that reason, schools are now required to be prepared to take responsibility for the safety of food-allergic students. This review discusses the common problems surrounding management of food allergies in the school setting along with reasonable recommendations for addressin...

Adherence to asthma treatments: ‘we know, we intend, we advocate’
Purpose of reviewTo highlight the state of the art and the current outlook on the adherence to treatment in asthma, starting from the ‘Manifesto on Adherence to asthma treatment in respiratory allergy’ endorsed by the World Allergy Organization, Allergic Rhinitis and Its Impact on Asthma and Global Allergy, Asthma European Network, and Interasma. Recent findingsAdherence to the pharmacological treatments of asthma is known to be low: about 50% of those who had been prescribed long-term treatment are nonadherent, at least part of the time. Nonadherence is associated with lack of asthma control, poor health outcomes, and...

Summary and recommendations from a National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) workshop on "Gonorrhea Vaccines: the Way Forward".
Abstract There is an urgent need for the development of an anti-gonococcal vaccine due to the increasing drug resistance found in this pathogen. The U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) has identified multidrug-resistant gonococci (GC) as one of 3 "urgent" hazard level threats to the U.S. POPULATION: In light of this, on June 29-30, 2015, the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) sponsored a workshop entitled "Gonorrhea Vaccines: the Way Forward". The goals of the workshop were to gather leaders in the field to discuss several key questions on the current status of gonorrhea vaccine ...

P429 Aria and gina implementation in a universalistic health system
Studies of the effects of guidelines in everyday practice are scarce. In a universalistic, government-lead system, as the Italian, the huge “allergy demand” produces a pressure on allergy services whose indicator is the lengthening of the waiting lists (WL). We used ARIA and GINA guidelines in an organizational intervention to reduce WL of children with respiratory allergy.

Vaccine allergy? Experts say most past reactions not valid reason for exemptions
Allergists across the country have safely inoculated most patients who come into their clinics, regardless of allergy history, says an Ontario doctor who's noticed an uptick in requests for allergy assessments after the government began implementing COVID-19 vaccine certificates last month.
