Tralokinumab Treatment in Adult Atopic Dermatitis Patients: 28-Week Evaluation of Clinical Effectiveness, Safety, Serum Proteins and Total IgE Levels.

Introduction And Objectives: Tralokinumab-a biological that specifically targets interleukin-13-is one of the newer advanced systemic treatments for patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). Although safety and efficacy have been shown in phase-III clinical trials, daily practice data are needed. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate 28-week safety and effectiveness, serum proteins and total IgE levels in adult AD patients treated with tralokinumab in daily practice.

10 practical priorities to prevent and manage serious allergic reactions: GALEN ANACare and EFA Anaphylaxis Manifesto.

This Anaphylaxis Manifesto calls on communities to prioritise 10 practical actions to improve the lives of people at risk of serious allergic reactions. The Global Allergy and Asthma European Network and the European Federation of Allergy and Airways Diseases Patients' Associations (EFA) compiled patient-centric priorities. We used qualitative consensus methods, research evidence and feedback from over 200 patient groups, stakeholder organisations and healthcare professionals.

EAACI guidelines on the management of IgE-mediated food allergy.

This European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) guideline provides recommendations for the management of IgE-mediated food allergy and was developed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach. Following the confirmation of IgE-mediated food allergy diagnosis, allergen avoidance and dietary advice (with support of a specialised dietitian, if possible) together with the provision of a written treatment plan, education on the recognition of allergic symptoms and prescription of medication including adrenaline using an auto-injector are essential. Patients with significant anxiety and requirement for coping strategies may benefit from support from a clinical psychologist.

IgE versus IgG and IgA: Differential roles of allergen-specific antibodies in sensitization, tolerization, and treatment of allergies.

The prevalence of asthma, rhinitis, and food allergies has increased dramatically over the last few decades. This increase originally started in western countries, but is now also evident in many other regions of the world. Given the fact that the increase is so quick, the noted increase cannot be linked to a genetic effect, and many environmental factors have been identified that are associated with increased or reduced prevalence of allergies, like changing dietary habits, increased urbanization, pollution, exposure to microorganisms and LPS, and the farming environment and raw milk consumption.
