Background: It is unclear whether sensitization patterns differentiate children with severe recurrent wheeze (SRW)/severe asthma (SA) from those with non-severe recurrent wheeze (NSRW)/non-severe asthma (NSA). Our objective was to determine whether sensitization patterns can discriminate between children from the French COBRAPed cohort with NSRW/NSA and those with SRW/SA.
Methods: IgE to 112 components (c-sIgE) (ImmunoCAP® ISAC) were analyzed in 125 preschools (3-6 years) and 170 school-age children (7-12 years).
Background: Few large-scale international studies have broadly characterized the burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) across age groups among children and adolescents.
Objectives: To better characterize the AD burden in paediatric patients by disease severity.
Methods: This cross-sectional, web-based survey of paediatric patients (6 months to < 18 years old) was conducted in 18 countries representing North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East/Eurasia and East Asia.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of atopic dermatitis on families of pediatric patients.
Study Design: This cross-sectional, web-based survey of children/adolescents (6 months to <18 years old) with atopic dermatitis and their parents and caregivers was conducted in 18 countries encompassing North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East/Eurasia, and East Asia. Children and adolescents with atopic dermatitis and their parents and caregivers were identified by the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood criteria and ever being told by a physician that they had "eczema".
Background: The phytohormone ethylene controls many processes in plant development and acts as a key signaling molecule in response to biotic and abiotic stresses: it is rapidly induced by flooding, wounding, drought, and pathogen attack as well as during abscission and fruit ripening. In kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.), fruit ripening is characterized by two distinct phases: an early phase of system-1 ethylene biosynthesis characterized by absence of autocatalytic ethylene, followed by a late burst of autocatalytic (system-2) ethylene accompanied by aroma production and further ripening.

Objective: To determine whether factors associated with asthma severity differ between preschoolers with severe recurrent wheeze (SRW) and school-age children with SA.
