UT Southwestern allergist offers coping strategies
The good news for allergy sufferers is that springtime mountain cedars and tree pollens have generally subsided. The bad news: It's summertime. view more (2006-06-14)
Children in affluent countries more likely to develop allergy-related asthma
Children with allergic sensitizations in economically developed countries are much more likely to develop asthma than similarly sensitized children in poorer countries, according to a team of international researchers. view more (2007-09-14)
Careless talk costs lives in food allergy
A team of scientists, led by the Institute of Food Research (IFR) in the UK, has discovered an immune system malfunction that is likely to play a profound role in food allergy. Food allergy can be life threatening, but understanding the cause has remained a challenge for science. The international team has found that two types of cells stop... view more... (2004-05-05)
Potential New Therapeutic Target for Asthma, Allergies and Cancer
Virginia Commonwealth University researchers have identified how a bioactive molecule involved with allergy, inflammation and cancer is transported out of mast cells, according to findings published online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2006-10-18)
Some ethnic groups more susceptible to adverse drug reactions
Some ethnic groups may be more susceptible to adverse drug reactions, finds a study published on bmj.com today. view more (2006-05-05)
Satellite mapping of loa loa prevalence in relation to ivermectin use in west and central Africa (p 1077)
A research letter published in this week's issue of THE LANCET describes a satellite mapping technique in Africa which can identify areas where high loa loa endemicity may adversely affect the safe and effective distribution of ivermectin for the control of river blindness (onchocerciasis). The drug ivermectin has been widely distributed... view more... (2000-09-20)
Students with food allergies often not prepared
College students with food allergies aren't avoiding the foods they know they shouldn't eat. Students of all ages are not treated with potentially life-saving epinephrine as often as they should be. And instructors, roommates and friends often are not aware of what to do if a food-allergic student has a reaction. view more (2008-08-06)
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)
Unlocking biological secrets: Cornell scientists build 'nano-keys' to bind cell receptors and trigger allergic reactions
The tumblers of life continue to click as Cornell University researchers have fabricated a set of "nano-keys" on the molecular scale to interact with receptors on cell membranes and trigger larger-scale responses within cells - such as the release of histamines in an allergic response. view more (2006-02-17)
Scientists developing food allergy treatment
A team of scientists from across Europe are embarking on new research to develop a treatment for food allergy. view more (2008-12-01)
Chemists move closer toward developing safer, fully-synthetic form of heparin
Chemists are reporting a major advance toward developing a safer, fully-synthetic version of heparin, the widely used blood thinner now produced from pig intestines. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration last spring linked contaminated batches of the animal-based product, imported from China, to more than 80 deaths and hundreds of allergic... view more... (2008-08-18)
ENZYME CONCENTRATIONS AND SKIN DISEASE MAY PREDICT SEVERITY OF REACTIONS TO BEE AND WASP STINGS (p 361)
Raised concentrations of the enzyme tryptase, associated with previously undiagnosed skin disease, may be a predictor of how people will react to bee and wasp stings, reports a study in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. 5% of adults in Europe and the USA have anaphylactic (hypersensitive) reactions to bee and wasp stings. The severity of... view more... (2001-01-31)
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)
Patients and doctors lack knowledge about adrenaline injections
Patients and general practitioners lack knowledge of how and when to use devices to inject adrenaline after anaphylaxis (severe allergic reactions), finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2003-12-03)
Enzyme and vitamin define the yin and yang of asthma
The allergen breathed in by a person with asthma triggers a proteinase or enzyme called MMP7 that activates a cascade of events to prompt an allergic reaction. view more (2009-03-30)
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...

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)
