Predictors of poor seroconversion and adverse events to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine in cancer patients on active treatment. Role of the Research Nurse.

Background: Vaccines have shown 95% protection from COVID-19 disease in healthy populations. Initial findings in cancer patients suggest a lower seroconversion and greater toxicity possibly related to myelo-immunosuppressive therapies.

Aim: We conducted a prospective study to assess factors predicting poor seroconversion and adverse events following immunization (AEFI) to the BNT162b2 vaccine in cancer patients on active treatment.

Peanut allergy in Italy: A unique Italian perspective.

Background: Peanut allergy has not been well characterized in Italy.

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.

Predictors of poor seroconversion and adverse events to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine in cancer patients on active treatment.

Purpose: Initial findings in patients with cancer suggest a lower seroconversion to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination possibly related to myelo-immunosuppressive therapies. We conducted a prospective study to assess factors predicting poor seroconversion and adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) to the BNT162b2 vaccine in patients on active treatment.

Patients And Methods: Cancer patients, candidates to two doses of BNT162b2 SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, were enrolled.

Home Se-Cure: A Home Care Service for Cancer Patients during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Cancer patients are exposed to a greater risk of COVID-19 infection, resulting in treatment delays and unnecessary hospitalizations. International authorities have suggested reducing visits to hospitals and guarantee continuity of care. We developed a home care project called Home Se-Cure (HSC) to guarantee the continuity of oral, intramuscular, and subcutaneous cancer therapy during COVID-19.

Systemic allergic reactions induced by labile plant-food allergens: Seeking potential cofactors. A multicenter study.

Background: Heat-and-pepsin-sensitive plant food allergens (PR-10 and profilin) sometimes cause systemic reaction.

Objective: To detect the risk factors for systemic reactions induced by labile food allergens.

Methods: A retrospective multicenter study was performed on patients with a documented history of systemic allergic reaction to labile plant food allergens and on age-matched controls with a history of oral allergy syndrome (OAS) induced by the same foods.
