Abstract:

Background Egg allergy is an IgE-mediated food allergy affecting 10% of Australian infants. Two Australian early egg introduction trials were conducted – Beating Egg Allergy Trial (BEAT) and Start Time of Egg Protein to Prevent Egg Allergy (STEP). Both studies showed significant induction of egg-specific IgG4 that was associated with early egg consumption. IgG4 is associated with tolerance induction. However, the mechanisms of tolerance acquisition are still poorly understood but may involve regulatory T and B cells. Aims To examine the antigen‑specific and non‑specific immune cell su

Abstract:

BackgroundFood allergy management relies mainly on avoidance and appropriate treatment of severe reactions (anaphylaxis) with epinephrine. Accidental exposure remains a concern, and may occur in school, where allergic children must rely on school personnel to recognize and treat their reaction with an epinephrine auto-injector such as the EpiPen®. Methods used to solicit participation in a study to assess the ability of school personnel to use the EpiPen® may introduce selection bias.

Abstract:

The prevalence of food allergy has increased in recent years, placing a significant burden on individuals and families. Egg is the leading cause of IgE-mediated food allergy in infancy and early childhood in Australia, recently estimated to affect 9% of infants in an urban Australian setting. Although the natural history of egg allergy in childhood is resolution and acquisition of tolerance by teenage years in 60-75% of egg allergic infants, the burden of disease is significant in the childhood years. Previously, it was widely believed that strict avoidance of food allergens in early infancy w

Abstract:

Abstract The prevalence of food allergies is higher in children compared to adults and it is increasing. The factors that influence food allergies in children are not clear. In light of the hygiene hypothesis, vaccinations may contribute towards to a predominant allergen specific response or exposure to the virus or microbe in the vaccine may decrease the risk for allergy. Previous studies have shown that the effect of vaccinations on food allergy and food sensitisation varies. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine if a relationship exists between vaccinations and food allergies and

Abstract:

FPIES is an uncommon food allergic disorder in infants and children. It differs clinically from IgE-mediated food allergy presenting acutely with delayed profuse vomiting, at times with lethargy, pallor, floppiness and diarrhoea. The diagnosis is difficult as it is based on clinical criteria, with no diagnostic test aside from oral food challenge. There is geographic variation in demographic features and the immunopathophysiology of FPIES is largely unknown.

Food allergies are an increasing health concern in the United States, affecting nearly 6 million children under the age of 18 years. Research has suggested that 18% of school-age children will have their first allergic reactions at school. Life-threatening allergic reactions experienced by children in the school setting are on the rise; however, little is known about how schools implement policies and practices in response to this issue.

The prevalence of childhood obesity is escalating rapidly and it considered to be a major public health problem. Diet is a recognised precursor of fatness, and current evidence supports the premise that in Westernised countries, the dietary intakes of children are likely to be important in obesity genesis. However, we have a relatively poor understanding of the environments in which a childs eating is learnt and maintained. Much of the existing work in this area is based on small-scale or experimental studies, or has been derived from homogeneous populations within the USA. Despite these

During weaning the developing gut immune system is exposed to an increasing variety of antigens from both foods and gut microbiota.

The health benefits of breastfeeding exceed well beyond the first few years of an infant's life. Breast milk is often referred to as liquid gold because of its extensive protective properties that promote child growth and development. Unfortunately, African American women have the lowest breastfeeding rates compared to any other racial group. Given that African American children are disproportionately affected by the current obesity epidemic in the United States, there may be a link between a mother's preference to breastfeed her infant and her influence over her child's eating behaviors and p

Abstract:

Motivation Processed complementary food labels should protect and promote optimal breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices, important determinants of child survival, growth and development, and provide information regarding safe and appropriate use. However, there is a lack of formal guidelines from international normative bodies on the appropriate marketing of complementary foods. In recognition of the need for interim guidance, the Maternal, Infant and Young Child Working Group developed the Draft Guide for Marketing Complementary Foods, which provides practical guidance on how the

Abstract:

This study was conducted to investigate why women participating in the WIC Program chose bottlefeeding rather than breastfeeding. Additionally, this investigator sought to determine the extent of prenatal education provided on the topic of breastfeeding within the health department population versus private care patients. An anonymous survey was administered by WIC nutritionists in the state of Virginia to mothers of newborns who were bottlefeeding. A total of 152 women completed questionnaires which were analyzed. Data were subjected to Chi-square analysis to determine association between d

Abstract:

Because children eat better when their parents use appropriate feeding practices, this study examined WIC participation and parental knowledge about child feeding practices. A Child Feeding Questionnaire was developed to evaluate parental knowledge about these feeding practices. The questions evaluated parents' knowledge about their responsibilities and the responsibilities of their children in feeding situations, the role of parental modeling when eating, appropriate snack habits, management of dislikes/picky eating, and the use of coercive feeding practices. The directors of four WIC clinics

Abstract:

L'allergie alimentaire à l'arachide est de plus en plus fréquente. La première problématique concerne le diagnostic. Il repose idéalement sur le test de provocation par voie orale. Ce test est dangereux et coûteux. J'ai élaboré un arbre décisionnel pour réduire les indications du test de provocation (non nécessaire pour des tests cutanés supérieurs à 16 mm et/ou des IgE supérieures à 57 kUA/L). La deuxième problématique concerne la prévalence de l'allergie à l'arachide. Nous ne disposons pas de données épidémiologiques. J'ai mené une enquête par questionnaire.

Abstract:

En la pràctica clínica habitual no és infreqüent trobar pacients pediàtrics amb rinitis al·lèrgica persistent (PER) que són derivats al servei d’ Otorrinolaringologia per manca de resposta al tractament mèdic. Per aquest motiu, es va decidir estudiar els factors de risc associats a la manca de resposta al tractament mèdic en nens i adolescents amb PER moderada i greu, especialment les alteracions anatòmiques intranasals. Segons la resposta al tractament mèdic es van avaluar i comparar dos grups de pacients, els responedors (R) i els no responedors (NR). Els pacients pediàtrics amb PER van s

El exceso de peso ganado durante la infancia aumenta el riesgo de enfermedad en el adulto, sin embargo revirtiendo esta condición tempranamente se reduce el riesgo futuro mejorando la calidad de vida de los individuos. OBJETIVOS: Una intervención en el estilo de vida de individuos prepuberales con obesidad podría provocar cambios en signaturas metabólicas en paralelo con mejoras del IMC.

BACKGROUND: Pediatric food allergy is increasing in prevalence, and a number of potential immunotherapies are being developed in an attempt to address this health issue. However, there have been no studies investigating parental concerns and priorities regarding selecting a potential immunotherapy for their child. OBJECTIVES: To describe parental immunotherapy preferences and the factors influencing those preferences. METHODS: A survey was developed to understand parental food allergy therapy preferences.
