A nonlinear-dynamical algorithm for city planning is proposed as an impulse pattern formulation (IPF) for predicting relevant parameters such as health, artistic freedom, or financial developments of different social or political stakeholders over the cause of a planning process. The IPF has already shown high predictive precision at low computational cost in musical instrument simulations, brain dynamics, and human-human interactions. The social and political IPF consists of three basic equations of system state developments, self-adaptation of stakeholders, two adaptive interactions, and external impact terms suitable for respective planning situations.

- Hymenoptera venom (HV), injected by bees and wasps during stings, can cause allergic reactions in about 3% of people, leading to severe local or systemic allergic reactions in some cases.
- The guidelines suggest that while symptomatic therapy is needed after a severe local reaction, specific allergen immunotherapy isn't necessary unless severe reactions occur beyond the skin.
- Clinicians should assess patients for risk factors, measure tryptase levels if reactions are significant, and test for specific IgE antibodies to diagnose sensitization to Hymenoptera venom.
Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a rare, non-IgE-mediated food allergy. The triggering foods differ significantly from the typical triggers of an IgE-mediated food allergy. Until recently, there were no data on triggers of FPIES in Germany.

Objective: To analyze the distribution of clinical symptoms and severity during oral food challenges (OFC) in children.
