Asthma Control According to GINA 2023: Does Changing the Criteria Improve Asthma Control?

: Achieving disease control is the main goal in asthmatic patients in order to prevent future risks and exacerbations. There are several clinical guidelines that set different definitions of asthma control, and these differences may affect management and treatment in many patients. Our aim was to describe asthma control patterns according to the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) 2023 in patients considered to have uncontrolled asthma as per previous GINA 2010 guidelines.

Low Levels Matter: Clinical Relevance of Low Pru p 3 sIgE in Patients With Peach Allergy.

Many clinical lab settings still use 0.35 KU/L as the cut-off for serum specific-IgE (sIgE) immunoassays, while the detection limit is 0.1 KU/L.

Detection of Wheat Lipid Transfer Protein (Tri a 14) Sensitization: Comparison between Currently Available Diagnostic Tools.

Background: Wheat lipid transfer protein (LTP; Tri a 14) and ω5-gliadin have been described as major allergens in wheat allergy (WA) and relevant in wheat-induced anaphylaxis, frequently associated with cofactors.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare tools currently available in routine diagnosis to detect Tri a 14 sensitization, its clinical relevance, and cosensitization to ω5-gliadin and other LTPs.

Methods: One hundred eighteen adults sensitized to rTri a 14 by ImmunoCAP® (cutoff ≥0.

Risk Factors in Severe Anaphylaxis: Which Matters the Most, Food or Cofactors?

Background And Objective: The prevalence of anaphylactic shock, the most severe manifestation of anaphylaxis, remains unknown. Risk factors and biomarkers have not been fully identified. Objective: To identify risk factors in patients who experience anaphylactic shock.
