The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of molecular-based LTPs serum sIgE for the diagnosis of food allergies in patients with suspected allergy to one of the LTPs-containing foods. Cohort, prospective or retrospective cross-sectional studies were considered for inclusion in this review. Oral food challenge (both open and double-blind placebo-controlled) was the reference standard for the diagnosis.

- The study investigated the increasing health concerns related to allergies caused by consuming undercooked or raw seafood containing parasites, specifically focusing on a group of 53 allergic outpatients in Western Sicily from April 2021 to March 2022.
- Utilizing various testing methods like Skin Prick Test, IgE-specific dosage, and Basophil Activation Test (BAT), researchers identified different allergy diagnoses, reporting a high rate of diagnosed cases and notable differences in risk levels between allergic patients and those with chronic urticaria.
- The results highlighted the BAT's superior accuracy and specificity in diagnosing allergies, suggesting that these findings could help in refining clinical guidelines for allergy diagnosis in the future.
Carotenoids may have different effects on cancer and its progression. The safety of carotenoid supplements was evaluated in vitro on human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) adenocarcinoma A549 cells by the administration of three different oleoresins containing lycopene and other lipophilic phytochemicals, such as tocochromanols. The oleoresins, obtained by the supercritical CO green extraction technology from watermelon (Lyc W), gấc(Lyc G) and tomato (Lyc T) and chlatrated in α-cyclodextrins, were tested in comparison to synthetic lycopene (Lyc S), by cell cycle, Annexin V-FITC/PI, clonogenic test, Mytosox, intracellular ROS, Western Blot for NF-kB and RT-PCR and ELISA for IL-8.

Objective: Our aim was to better define the clinical features of peanut allergy in Italy and to detect the peanut proteins involved in allergic reactions.
Methods: A total of 22 centers participated in a prospective survey of peanut allergy over a 6-month period.
Background: Omalizumab is the best treatment for patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). Machine learning (ML) approaches can be used to predict response to therapy and the effectiveness of a treatment. No studies are available on the use of ML techniques to predict the response to Omalizumab in CSU.
