Response to ragweed allergen provocation in the Red Maple Trials Allergen Challenge Theatre

Over three years, 700 children with a peanut story - either peanut sensitization or peanut allergy- were asked to participate in a database.

We report a more-than-six-year experience with food oral immunotherapy (FOIT) in a private allergy practice setting. Most patients can be desensitized to one or more allergenic foods. Ongoing evaluation and modification of the FOIT procedures improves outcomes and acceptability. FOIT can be successfully performed in an allergy office.

We report on 21 patients who completed FOIT (food oral immunotherapy) escalation followed by a period of maintenance dosing and later underwent a tolerance FC (food challenge). 90% of tested FOIT patients and 94% of patients who met our pre-defined criteria for tolerance FC achieved tolerance to their allergenic food.

Changes in gastrointestinal microbiota have been suggested to drive the increasing prevalence of food allergy. Our aim was to determine the impact of mouse and human intestinal microbiota on modulation of allergic parameters including IgE.

The caruncle is small, pink, globular nodule at the inner corner of the eye. We found the papillary changes of the caruncle corresponds to changes in palpebral conjunctiva seen in allergic conjunctivitis. There may indicate a greater inflammatory response in the caruncle resulting in greater itching in the nasal corners of the eye. Allergists can easily assess the caruncle.

Evaluate the association between asthma-related emergency department visits (AREDV), meteorological measurements, and air quality concentrations in a high asthma prevalence area, the New York City borough of the Bronx.

Efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy for Juniper induced allergic rhinitis is presented.

Our data imply an important role for basophils in the evolution of acute IgE-mediated reactions to food allergens.

The results underline the utility of Systems Biology (and specially Anaxomics’s TPMS) for the interpretation of high-throughput data in BM identification, with a better generalization capability than conventional methods.
