History of allergy in the middle ages and renaissance.
Authors: Ring J Abstract In the Middle Ages little innovative medical literature came from Western Europe. The Greek-Roman tradition with the scriptures of Hippocrates and Galenos was preserved in Byzantium and then in the Middle East by Arabic medicine; it then returned to Europe in Latin translations mostly made in Italy and Spain. There were innovative developments in Arabic medicine also with regard to the history of allergy, especially with the first description of 'rose fever', which is described as very similar in symptomatology to hay fever. Under Arabic influence, the first medical university in Salerno wa...

The neuroendocrine-immune connection regulates chronic inflammatory disease in allergy.
Authors: Peters EM Abstract Allergy is an instructive model to study neuroendocrine-immune interaction in chronic inflammation, a key research task taken on by a relatively new scientific field: psychoneuroimmunology (PNI). Itch, as the prime symptom of many chronic inflammatory diseases but especially of allergic inflammation, hints at the prominent role of neurogenic inflammation in the course of the disease. Environmental factors ranging from allergens to perceived stress can trigger the release of neuropeptides from peripheral nerve endings that than activate mast cells and induce an exaggerated alarm response ...

Anti-IL-4 as a new strategy in allergy.
Authors: Schmidt-Weber CB Abstract Allergic diseases are characterized by an overreaction characterized by Th2-type cell response, and as a consequence, an IgE-switched B cell immunity. Obviously, type-2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, IL-13) and particularly IL-4 have been identified as potential targets for allergy treatment. While initial experiences using anti-IL-4 principles in asthma were rather ambiguous, more recent studies using an IL-4 mute in blocking the IL-4 and IL-13 receptor have shown promising results. Furthermore, our understanding of IL-4 biology is more specific and may promote more targeted interv...

Attitudes toward allergy: what do the pediatricians think?
CONCLUSION: Increased appropriate referrals and improved patient outcomes could result from efforts to enhance A/I education during medical school and residency, maintain effective communication with referring physicians, and break down referral barriers to improve physicians' attitudes toward A/I.

IgE recognition patterns in peanut allergy are age dependent: perspectives of the EuroPrevall study
ConclusionSensitization to Ara h 1, 2 and 3 is usually acquired in childhood. IgE to Ara h 2 ≥1.0 kUA/L is significantly associated with the development of systemic reactions to peanut.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Comprehensive Metabolomics Identifies the Alarmin Uric Acid as a Critical Signal for the Induction of Peanut Allergy
ConclusionOverproduction of the UA alarmin in the local microenvironment plays a critical role in the induction of peanut allergic sensitization, likely due to its ability to activate DCs. These finding suggest that cellular damage or tissue injury may be an essential requisite for the development of allergic sensitization to foods.This article is protected by copyright.

Association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the MD-2 Gene Promoter Region With Der p 2 Allergy.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicated that 2 SNPs in the MD-2 promoter region were significantly associated with Der p 2-specific Ig E, and thereby suggest that these SNPs may play a major role in susceptibility to Der p 2-triggered immune responses in a Taiwanese population.

Self-reported penicillin allergy may be undiagnosed chronic urticaria
HOUSTON – The higher prevalence of chronic urticaria in patients with self-reported penicillin allergy suggests that these patients may be confusing one condition with the other, according to a late-breaking study presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and...

A Web site-based reporting system for monitoring home treatment during oral immunotherapy for food allergy.
CONCLUSION: A web-RS can be a powerful tool for improving OIT safety by achieving a high level of patient cooperation in reporting home treatment results. PMID: 25940735 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Factors associated with negative histamine control for penicillin allergy skin testing in the inpatient setting.
CONCLUSION: Regression analysis supports ICU stay during skin testing as associated with a high OR for a negative histamine response independent of age. Systemic corticosteroids, H2 blockers, and older age are associated with a significant OR for a negative histamine response. This is one of largest studies on factors associated with a negative histamine response for the inpatient setting and has significant implications for clinical practice.

Grain and legume allergy.
Authors: Ito K Abstract Among grains and legumes, wheat and soybean are the most frequent and well-characterized allergenic foods. Wheat proteins are divided into water/salt-soluble and water/salt-insoluble (gluten) fractions. The most dominant allergen in the former is α-amylase/trypsin inhibitor, which acts as an inhaled allergen causing baker's asthma. Gluten allergens, including ω-5 gliadin and high- and low-molecular-weight glutenins, contribute to wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis in adults and immediate-type wheat allergies, including anaphylaxis, in children. Recently, wheat allergies exclusive...

Peanut and tree nut allergy.
Authors: Cox A, Sicherer SH Abstract Allergy to peanut and tree nuts is a major worldwide health concern. The prevalence of these allergies may be increasing, but the reasons for these increases remain unclear. This group of foods accounts for a large proportion of severe and fatal food-allergic reactions. These allergies present most often during childhood but can occur at any age. Resolution is possible but uncommon, and frequent lifetime reactions caused by accidental ingestion are a serious problem. The major allergens of peanut and most tree nuts have been identified, allowing for insights into patient diagnos...

Ultra short pre-seasonal subcutaneous immunotherapy and pre-coseasonal sublingual immunotherapy for pollen allergy: an evaluation of patient's preference in real life.
CONCLUSION: Patients are active subjects in decisional process. Trying to apply in real life the indications coming from guidelines about patient's preference is an important matter. In our patients SCIT with ultra short schedule and SLIT are similarly preferred. PMID: 24067339 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Prevalence and Clinical Impact of IgE-Mediated Food Allergy in School Children With Asthma: A Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Food Challenge Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Although food-induced respiratory reactions in children with asthma were rare, they were classified as severe and associated with worse morbidity, greater severity, and poorer control. As the most commonly observed symptoms were coughing and rhinitis, which can be easily misdiagnosed, a proper diagnosis is essential for improving the management of both clinical conditions.

What could be the role of molecular-based allergy diagnostics in detecting the risk of developing allergic sensitization to furry animals?
Authors: Liccardi G, Bilò MB, Manzi F, Piccolo A, Di Maro E, Salzillo A Abstract Although this highly refined diagnostic approach has been used in several fields of allergy diagnosis, we noticed the scarcity of data on the role of CDR in detecting current sensitization to the allergens of common pets (cat / dog) and, especially, its potential usefulness in predicting the risk of sensitization to other furry animals. Reported data suggest that cross-reacting mechanisms might play an important role in a significant proportion of allergic sensitizations to furry animals (common pets and unusual / exotic mammals) espe...
