Clinical efficacy of nasal steroids on nonallergic rhinitis and the associated inflammatory cell phenotypes.
CONCLUSION: Although both patients with non-AR and those with AR had good steroid response, the patients with non-AR had less improvement than the patients with AR. Patients with NINAR had the worst treatment outcome among the non-AR phenotypes. PMID: 26358345 [PubMed - in process]

Elimination diets in the management of eosinophilic esophagitis
Joshua B Wechsler, Sally Schwartz, Katie Amsden, Amir F Kagalwalla Department of Pediatrics, Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, IL, USA Abstract: Eosinophilic esophagitis, an increasingly recognized chronic inflammatory disorder isolated to the esophagus, is triggered by an abnormal allergic response to dietary antigens. Current treatment includes swallowed topical steroids and dietary modification, which aim to resolve symptoms and prevent long-term complications such as formation of strictures. The dietary approach has become more widely a...

Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis Caused by Cephalosporins With Identical R1 Side Chains.
We describe a 54-year-old man with hypersensitivity pneumonitis caused by cephalosporins with identical R1 side chains. The patient, who complained of cough with sputum, was prescribed ceftriaxone and clarithromycin at a local clinic. The following day, he complained of dyspnea, and chest X-ray revealed worsening of inflammation. Upon admission to our hospital, antibiotics were changed to cefepime with levofloxacin, but his pneumonia appeared to progress. Changing antibiotics to meropenem with ciprofloxacin improved his symptoms and radiologic findings. Antibiotics were de-escalated to ceftazidime with levofloxacin, and hi...

Omalizumab treatment in patient with severe asthma and Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis . A case report.
We present the case of a woman with EGPA who was frequently treated with high dose steroid therapy during hospital admission for refractory asthma. After December 2008, the date when we started Omalizumab, we observed a significative reduction of circulating eosinophils and IgE serum level, and the patient was no more hospitalized for respiratory failure or asthma attacks.

Monitoring the hospital management of acute asthma: the Italian Pediatric Network experience.
CONCLUSION: The pediatric network has become an excellent system of monitoring of the clinical management of asthmatic children, highlighting strengths and weaknesses on which to focus actions of improvement. PMID: 27852427 [PubMed - in process]

High-dose nebulized budesonide is effective for mild asthma exacerbations in children under 3 years of age.
Conclusion. For children < 3 years old with mild asthma exacerbations, high-dose nebulized budesonide therapy is equally as effective as systemic steroid therapy. PMID: 28120603 [PubMed - in process]

A Comprehensive Systematic Review of the Association Between Airway Mucins and Chronic Rhinosinusitis.
CONCLUSION: There is a strong correlation between alterations in mucin expression profiles and CRS. This systematic review highlights the most recent literature on the role of mucins in CRS. The analysis of these studies is limited by the heterogeneity in study designs, relatively few numbers of clinical samples, and lack of mechanistic studies in animal models and in vitro cultures.

Age-based Differences in the Diagnosis and Management of Esophageal Eosinophilia
Conclusions Numerous age-based differences in the management of symptomatic patients with esophageal eosinophilia existed in this cohort. Adults were significantly less likely than children to receive a clinical diagnosis of EoE, allergy referral, or steroid treatment, or to have a repeated biopsy. Even when stratified for an 8-week prebiopsy proton-pump inhibitor trial, advancing age was associated with lower odds of referral or repeated biopsy. Further study is necessary to better understand why discrepancies exist and their potential ramifications.

Mast cells in mastocytosis and allergy - Important player in metabolic and immunological homeostasis.
Abstract The role of mast cell (MC) activity in pathophysiology is complex and challenging and its clinical effects are difficult to predict. Apart from the known role of MCs in basic immunological processes and allergy, underlined is their importance in bone mineralization and in regulation of autoimmune reactions. Mast cell mediators, especially those released from mast cells in degranulation, but also those released constitutively, are important both in metabolic and immunological processes. Mastocytosis is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by accumulation of MC in one or more organs. There are s...

IL-33 promotes airway remodeling in pediatric patients with severe steroid-resistant asthma
Conclusion: IL-33 is a relatively steroid-resistant mediator that promotes airway remodeling in patients with STRA and is an important therapeutic target.

The association of air pollutants and allergic and nonallergic rhinitis in chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionOur results suggest that small inhalant pollutants may contribute to nonallergic symptomatology in patients with and without nasal polyps. Regardless of allergy status, BC may play a role in CRS symptom severity.
