Food allergy and atopic dermatitis: Prediction, progression, and prevention
Abstract The rising burden of allergic diseases in childhood requires a compelling need to identify individuals at risk for atopy very early in life or even predict the onset of food allergy and atopic dermatitis since pregnancy. The development and clinical phenotypes of atopic diseases in childhood depend on a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors, such as allergen exposure, air pollution, and infections. Preventive strategies may include avoidance measures, diet supplements, and early complementary food introduction. Overall, the management of allergic diseases has been improving to date toward a...

Early ‐life sensitization to hen's egg predicts asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis at 14 years of age
ConclusionsEarly transient IgE sensitization and persistent IgE sensitization to hen's egg were associated with asthma and RC at 14 years. Furthermore, sensitization to HDM was associated with asthma at 14 years. (Source: Pediatric Allergy and Immunology)

Spirometry ‐adjusted fraction of exhaled nitric oxide increases accuracy for assessment of asthma control in children
Abstract Spirometry and exhaled nitric oxide are two important complimentary tools to identify and assess asthma control in children. We aimed to determine the ability of a new suggested spirometry‐adjusted fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (NO) index in doing that. A random sample of 1602 schoolchildren were screened by a health questionnaire, skin prick tests, spirometry with bronchodilation and exhaled NO. A total of 662 children were included with median (IQR) exhaled NO 11(14) ppb. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves using exhaled NO equations from Malmberg, Kovesi and Buchvald, and spirometry‐adjusted f...

The effect of montelukast on early ‐life wheezing: A randomized, double‐blinded placebo‐controlled study
ConclusionsOur results indicate that montelukast may be effective for reducing caregiver‐observed wheezing and the need for salbutamol during the first week of treatment for early‐life wheezing. The impact for caregivers and the optimal duration of treatment will need to be explored in studies of larger size. (Source: Pediatric Allergy and Immunology)
