Protein a possible key to allergy and asthma control
Activating a protein found on some immune cells seems to halt the cells' typical job of spewing out substances that launch allergic reactions, a study by Johns Hopkins researchers suggests. The findings could eventually lead to new treatments for allergic reactions ranging from annoying bouts of hay fever to deadly asthma attacks. view more (2008-01-03)
Mayo Clinic links allergies to Parkinson's disease
Researchers from Mayo Clinic have discovered that allergic rhinitis is associated with the development of Parkinson's disease later in life. Findings will be published in the Aug. 8 issue of the journal Neurology. view more (2006-08-08)
Further Evidence Of Increase In Allergic Disease In Western Countries (p 691)
Danish authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide further evidence which suggests that allergic diseases are becoming increasingly common in western populations. Allergic diseases are thought to be increasingly common in more-developed countries, but few studies have measured the frequency of atopy with objective... view more... (2002-08-28)
Exposure To Bacteria Modulates Immune Response And Decreases Allergy In Farm Children (p 465)
Findings from a Research Letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide support for the idea that children who grow up on farms have fewer allergies because they are exposed to more microbes than other children. Farmers' children are known to be less prone to allergies than children who do not grow up on farms, but the exact reason is not... view more... (2002-08-07)
Allergic-like reactions to iodinated contrast material treated safely with commonly used medications
Patients who have had acute allergic-like reactions to nonionic iodinated contrast material rarely develop any serious long-term problems and can be treated safely with commonly used medications according to a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan Hospitals in Ann Arbor. view more (2008-08-04)
Probiotic Protection Against Eczema Could Extend From Infancy To Childhood (p 1869)
A follow-up study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how probiotics given to pregnant women and babies around the time of childbirth could protect children from atopic eczema for up to four years-two years longer than previously reported. Allergy, in the form of atopic disease, is a chronic disorder of increasing importance in... view more... (2003-05-28)
Allergy battle could be won in five years, says scientist
Researchers, working with colleagues at St George's, University of London, are developing drugs designed to stop allergens from entering the body, so rendering them harmless. view more (2006-07-13)
First-born babies' higher asthma and allergy rates due to pregnancy conditions
First-born children are at higher risk of developing asthma and allergy because of different conditions they experience in the uterus, according to new research from the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom, which will be presented at the American Thoracic Society's 2008 International Conference in Toronto on Wednesday, May 21. view more (2008-05-20)
Researchers from 5 countries to test hygiene hypothesis with EU funding
High living standards and the life style connected to them seem to promote the development of autoimmune diseases and allergic symptoms. This has lead to the assumption that the immune system begins to overreact to the organism's own structures or to exogenous non-infectious proteins, i.e. allergens, when it does not have to work hard enough to... view more...

Study helps explain how allergic reactions are triggered
In demonstrating that a group of calcium ion channels play a crucial role in triggering inflammatory responses, researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have not only solved a longstanding molecular mystery regarding the onset of asthma and allergy symptoms, but have also provided a fundamental discovery regarding the... view more...

Specialized bath products for allergic eczema of 'questionable' value
Specialised bath products to relieve the symptoms of allergic (atopic) eczema are of "questionable" value, says the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB). view more (2007-10-03)
Study Characterizes Eczema Patients Most at Risk for Dangerous Viral Infections
Eczema patients at risk for serious viral infections have more severe disease, are more likely to be allergic to food and other allergens, and have a frequent history of staph infections. view more (2009-06-25)
New strategy for treating allergic disorders
Oral intake of allergens or auto-antigens via the lactic acid bacterium Lactococcus lactis might be a new strategy for treating various kinds of auto-immune and allergic disorders. view more (2007-08-01)
Experimental ragweed therapy offers allergy sufferers longer relief with fewer shots
Americans accustomed to the seasonal misery of sneezing, runny noses and itchy, watery eyes caused by ragweed pollen might one day benefit from an experimental allergy treatment that not only requires fewer injections than standard immunotherapy, but leads to a marked reduction in symptoms that persists for at least a year after therapy has... view more...

Sublingual immunotherapy for inhalant allergies deserves deeper consideration
Sublingual immunotherapy for the treatment of allergy symptoms caused by a wide variety of environmental inhalants has been effectively used in Europe. view more (2009-04-30)
Pitt, NETL researchers report molecular chain reaction thought to be impossible
People said it couldn't be done, but researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the U.S. Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in Pittsburgh demonstrated a molecular chain reaction on a metal surface, a nanoscale process with sizable potential in areas from nanotechnology to developing information storage... view more...

Eating apples and fish during pregnancy may protect against childhood asthma and allergies
Women who eat apples and fish during pregnancy may reduce the risk of their children developing asthma or allergic disease, suggests a new study presented at the American Thoracic Society 2007 International Conference, on Sunday, May 20. view more (2007-05-21)
Making music could be bad for your skin
Playing a musical instrument increases your risk of suffering from a variety of skin complaints, according to a study published this week in BMC Dermatology. These conditions can usually be averted by correcting your technique or by making slight alterations to your instrument. Dr. Thilo Gambichler, a consultant dermatologist at Oldchurch... view more...

Drug-eluting stents may cause allergic reactions
Drug-eluting stents have greatly reduced the risk of repeat blockage of heart arteries, but researchers from Northwestern Memorial Hospital have found that in some patients, the stents can cause allergic reactions that can have serious consequences. view more (2005-12-20)
Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis have increased incidence of other chronic illnesses
Patients who suffer from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) also tend to suffer from other chronic illnesses, like asthma, hypertension, and arthritis. view more (2009-10-05)
