EXPOSURE TO CATS CAN INDUCE ASTHMA TOLERANCE (p 752)
Children exposed to cat allergens at home can produce an immune response without developing asthma, report authors of a study in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. However, in some children, exposure to cat allergens remains the highest single risk factor for asthma. Although asthma is strongly associated with immediate hypersensitivity to... view more...

Cell that triggers symptoms in allergy attacks can also limit damage, Stanford researchers find
A blood cell known as a troublemaker for triggering the itch and inflammation in allergy attacks, the mast cell, can also calm down the flare-ups. view more (2007-09-04)
Omega fatty acid balance can alter immunity and gene expression
For the past century, changes in the Western diet have altered the consumption of omega-6 fatty acids (w6, found in meat and vegetable oils) compared with omega-3 fatty acids (w3, found in flax and fish oil). view more (2009-06-01)
Doctors may be giving the wrong dosage of adrenaline in an emergency because of labelling
A new study by Cambridge University reveals that doctors treating life-threatening emergencies such as allergy attacks may give the wrong dosage of adrenaline (epinephrine) because of confusing labelling. view more (2008-01-02)
Grape expectations for healthier wine
A new technique that uses ozone to preserve grapes could help prevent allergies and boost healthy compounds at the same time, reports Jennifer Rohn in Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI. view more (2007-02-12)
Ragweed Research Is Nothing to Sneeze At
To a person with a pollen allergy, an 18-acre ragweed field sounds like a sneezy, red-eyed zone of misery.

South African Geraniums Effective in Treatment of Adults with Acute Bronchitis
A recent clinical trial in Europe showed that EPs® 7630, a remedy made from the roots of Pelargonium sidoides-a species of geranium unique to South Africa, is an effective alternative treatment of acute bronchitis. view more (2005-12-14)
MIT-led teams unravel heparin death mystery
An international team of researchers led by MIT has explained how contaminated batches of the blood-thinner heparin were able to slip past traditional safety screens and kill dozens of patients recently in the United States and Germany. view more (2008-04-24)
Top animal welfare prize for kinder skin allergy test
Three scientists have been awarded Europe’s premier laboratory animal welfare prize for 2000. They jointly developed a test for the potential of chemicals to cause allergic skin reactions, or skin sensitisation. This test uses fewer animals and causes less suffering than previous tests. The SmithKline Beecham Laboratory Animal Welfare Prize... view more... (2000-11-16)
New tests for nut allergens
Scientists in Florida have developed sensitive new tests to detect potentially fatal nut traces in food. Their study, published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, originally set out to find ways of processing nuts to make them safe for allergy sufferers. The techniques they developed during the analysis included the discovery... view more... (2004-06-15)
Betaine relieves dry mouth symptoms
In the present study, betaine protected oral mucosa and skin against irritation caused by foaming substances in toothpastes, and relieved subjective symptoms of dry mouth. The feeling of dry mouth was eased after the use of betaine containing, detergent-free toothpaste in half of the subjects who had persistent subjective symptoms of dry mouth.... view more...

Improved immune diagnostics
With many forms of illness, such as allergies, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis, the success of therapy can be shown by the absence or presence of certain cells and the proteins they produce. Today, this can be ascertained in a number of different ways. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Aerosol Research... view more... (2000-01-27)
Traffic exhaust can cause asthma, allergies and impaired respiratory function in children
Children exposed to high levels of air pollution during their first year of life run a greater risk of developing asthma, pollen allergies, and impaired respiratory function. view more (2008-04-10)
Prevention is the best option: fighting autoimmune diseases
Centenary scientist Associate Professor Barbara Fazekas de St. Groth, a leader in inflammatory bowel disease research, has demonstrated for the first time the important role of T cells in the prevention of autoimmune diseases in humans. view more (2006-07-07)
UT Southwestern tests new asthma medicine targeting vulnerable inner-city children
UT Southwestern Medical Center is one of a handful of top research institutions evaluating a promising new medication researchers hope can reduce the severity and frequency of asthma attacks in inner-city children, a population known to have a high prevalence of severe asthma. view more (2006-10-19)
UIC scientists discover how some bacteria survive antibiotics
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have discovered how some bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment by turning on resistance mechanisms when exposed to the drugs. The findings, published in the April 24 issue of the journal Molecular Cell, could lead to more effective antibiotics to treat a variety of infections. view more (2008-05-01)
Animal food allergens unmasked
The relatedness of an animal food protein to a human protein determines whether it can cause allergy, according to new research by scientists from the Institute of Food Research in Norwich and the Medical University of Vienna. view more (2007-10-15)
Researchers link inflammatory diseases to increased cardiovascular risk
Patients suffering from two serious autoimmune disorders which cause muscular inflammation are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. view more (2009-09-02)
Fungal pill could provide asthma relief for 150,000 UK sufferers
