Article Synopsis
- Insect consumption, specifically black soldier flies (BSF), could help meet rising protein demands sustainably while considering allergenic risks.
- Researchers studied two tropomyosin variants from the BSF, finding that patients allergic to shrimp or mites may react to these proteins, indicating potential cross-reactivity.
- Further analysis showed these proteins are structurally stable but sensitive to temperature, and tests identified peptides that may maintain allergenicity after digestion.
Article Synopsis
- - Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and allergic rhinitis (AR) are linked through a common type 2 inflammation response, with AR frequently occurring in EoE patients and both being influenced by aeroantigens and seasonal factors.
- - Current research struggles to establish clear conclusions regarding the relationship between EoE and AR due to study designs that may not adequately account for various external factors, making pollen counts a potentially more reliable indicator of EoE exacerbations.
- - Allergen immunotherapy's effects on EoE symptoms are still uncertain, with sublingual immunotherapy typically causing exacerbations while subcutaneous immunotherapy may aid in remission; monoclonal antibodies may offer future treatment possibilities
Purpose Of Review: The goal of this review is to summarize the potential causes of anaphylaxis in the different holiday contexts, providing practical suggestions aimed to mitigate the stress challenged by allergic patients because of unfamiliar situations.
Recent Findings: A regard was reserved to potential food triggers, particularly uncommon ones and typical of certain destinations, and to arthropods responsible for anaphylaxis.
Summary: This review highlights the potential risk of anaphylaxis due to the unusual contexts more experienced during holidays (i.
Article Synopsis
- - Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a group of diverse disorders characterized by high levels of eosinophils, with ongoing challenges in diagnosis, understanding, and personalized treatment still needing attention.
- - There is an urgent need to reduce the time it takes to diagnose and begin treatment for HES, as the condition significantly affects patients' quality of life.
- - The Italian Society of Allergy, Asthma, and Clinical Immunology (SIAAIC) has launched a national initiative, the InHES network, to unify medical efforts and improve communication about HES, including sharing recent research findings and treatment recommendations.
