Early and regular ingestion of the common allergens, peanut and egg has been shown to be an effective allergy prevention strategy.
The EAACI guideline provides recommendations for diagnosing IgE-mediated food allergy using the GRADE approach. It includes steps like clinical history, IgE sensitization tests, and oral food challenges.
We review the latest evidence on different testing modalities and how effective they are in guiding clinical decision making in practice. We also evaluate predictive test cut-offs for the more common food allergens to try and provide guidance on when challenges might be most successful in determining oral tolerance in children.
Background: Vitamin D has been reported to be associated with many allergic diseases. There are a limited number of the studies of vitamin D supplementation in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). U).
Despite the challenges of diagnosing and managing adult patients with chronic cough, a systematic synthesis of evidence on aetiological risk factor is lacking.
This AAAAI guideline provides updated recommendations for diagnosing IgE-mediated peanut allergy in children and adults. It addresses when to test, which diagnostic tools to use, and whether test results can predict reaction severity. The guidance emphasizes the importance of distinguishing sensitization from true clinical allergy to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
This review aims to summarize what is currently known about the epidemiology and population-level burden of IgE-mediated food allergy, including its effects on quality of life.
The comorbidity of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is obvious from a clinical point of view, especially as smoking is an important risk factor for both.
Background: Clinical manifestations of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection vary widely from mild, self-limiting illness to severe life-threatening disease. There are gaps in knowledge of biomarkers to objectively define severe disease and predict clinical outcomes.
Palliative care teams have specialized in symptom management and end-of-life care for decades; however, the role of palliative care in dementia management is not yet well elucidated.
