Prevalence of immediate-type food allergy in early childhood in seoul.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of immediate-type FA in early childhood is 3.7%, and is higher in younger children. The most common offending foods differed with age.

When nutrition and allergy collide: the rise of anaphylaxis to plant foods
Purpose of review: Interest in nutrition is increasing, but in the world of internet health gurus, whilst the nutritional benefits of fruits and vegetables are extolled, wheat is often vilified. This review will assess the positive nutritional effects of plant foods in relation to allergy prevention, the effectiveness of gluten-avoidance and the likelihood of anaphylaxis to fruits and vegetables.
Recent findings: Although the numbers of people who report gluten sensitivity is rising, hard evidence of mass sensitivity to gluten is scant. Also, the avoidance of wheat containing foods could lead to nutritional imbalance and ...

Food Allergy in South Africa
This article summarizes some of the recent research and observations regarding food allergy from the South African setting.Recent FindingsSouth Africa has recently seen two important food allergy prevalence studies in selected and unselected populations. Both show allergy rates in keeping with those in several westernized countries. The major difference between sensitization and allergy rates in these studies emphasizes the vital role of the food challenge in differentiating true food allergy from asymptomatic sensitisation in equivocal cases. Eczema, young age and living in an urban population are important risk factors f...

Invited Commentary: Alpha-Gal Allergy: Tip of the Iceberg to a Pivotal Immune Response
AbstractThe syndrome of delayed allergic reactions to the carbohydrate galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose ( “alpha-gal”) has become increasingly recognized in allergy and immunology clinics regionally throughout the southeastern USA. Due to the increasing awareness of this unique food allergy, cases have been identified in the northeastern and central USA as well as in Central and South America, Europ e, Asia, Scandinavia, and Australia. Clinically, alpha-gal allergy is characterized by reactions to non-primate mammalian meat (e.g., beef, pork, lamb) that occur 3–6 h following exposure. The IgE response to alpha-gal is th...

Time to Resolution of Milk Allergy Utilizing Baked-Milk Diet
Sparse studies have investigated the issue of time-to-tolerance of milk allergy with the use of baked-milk diets and there is little evidence to support the idea that the ingestion of baked milk results in patients outgrowing their milk allergy. The goal of our study is to provide an analysis of the resolution of milk allergy utilizing a baked-milk diet and add to the scant data in this area.

Early-life mold and tree sensitivity is associated with allergic eosinophilic rhinitis at 4 years of age.
CONCLUSION: Allergic eosinophilic rhinitis was identified in 8.8% of children at 4 years of age. Age 3 years was the earliest that aeroallergen SPT wheal areas were predictive of AER. Skin testing at 3 years identifies children at risk for an AR phenotype with nasal eosinophilia.

Direct oral amoxicillin challenge without preliminary skin testing in patients with reported penicillin allergy
10% of hospitalized patients report penicillin allergy; studies indicate that ∼98% are not truly allergic. Unconfirmed penicillin allergy labels pose public health risks, and evaluation is recommended to improve antibiotic stewardship. While the most widely accepted protocol is penicillin skin testing (PST) followed by oral amoxicillin challenge, time constraints and resour ces may preclude this. Recent literature supports the safety and efficacy of direct oral amoxicillin challenge in low-risk individuals.

Skin Tests versus Serology: Specific IgE May Suffice for Diagnosis of Vespid Venom Allergy and Follow-Up of Allergen Immunotherapy
Conclusion: Wheal area evaluation did not provide additional information over specific IgE analysis. We therefore recommend that ICTs are used only as a secondary measure for confirming serological test results.Int Arch Allergy Immunol

Toward photorealism in endoscopic sinus surgery simulation.
CONCLUSION: This new computer-based training tool for practicing ESS provides a risk-free environment for surgical trainees to practice and develop core skills. The novel use of customized precision force feedback (haptic) devices enables trainees to use movements during training that closely mimic those used during the actual procedure, which we anticipate will improve learning, retention, and recall.

Craniofacial osteoma: Clinical presentation and patterns of growth.
CONCLUSION: Craniofacial osteomas are slow-growing lesions with no specific growth pattern and rare complications. Their clinical behavior is ill defined and justifies a conservative approach toward asymptomatic lesions with close radiological follow-up.

The feasibility of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography uptake as a prognostic factor for paranasal sinus malignancy.
CONCLUSION: In our study, we concluded that subjects with higher tumor FDG uptakes should be considered for a more aggressive disease.

Targeting the small airways asthma phenotype: if we can reach it, should we treat it?
CONCLUSION: From a pragmatic perspective, it makes sense to try to deliver asthma treatment to more of the lung to improve clinical outcomes, especially in patients who exhibit the small airways asthma phenotype.
