Total Serum Immunoglobulin E in a Cohort of Children with Food Allergy.
J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract
December 2024
Background: Total serum immunoglobulin E (TsIgE) has not been examined in children with food allergy.
Objective: Evaluate associations of TsIgE with patient, household, environmental and community-level characteristics among children with food allergy.
Method: Linear mixed effect models of data from 398 Black and/or African American (B/AA) and White and/or European American (W/EA) children with allergist-diagnosed food allergy from the multi-center, observational cohort FORWARD; TsIgE in kU/L was the primary outcome measure.
Introduction: Idiopathic blepharospasm is a clinically heterogeneous form of focal dystonia, also associated with psychiatric symptoms. The identification of the most relevant sets of motor and psychiatric manifestations may help better understand the specific phenomenology of the condition and delineate blepharospasm subtypes more accurately.
Methods: Patients with idiopathic blepharospasm were from the Dystonia Coalition project.
D-limonene suppresses RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and promotes osteoblast activity in-vitro.

Article Synopsis
- Osteoporosis treatments are usually implemented after fractures occur, so finding preventative methods to lower fracture risk is important.
- D-limonene, a natural compound found in citrus fruits, has shown potential in promoting bone health by enhancing osteoblast activity and suppressing osteoclast formation, largely due to its effects on NFκB.
- The study indicates that limonene not only supports the development of bone-forming cells but also decreases factors that lead to bone loss, suggesting it could be a useful supplement alongside existing osteoporosis treatments.
Background: Despite efforts to advance equity, diversity and inclusion, women face gender-based barriers in research, including in neurology. Compared with men, women are less likely to hold leadership positions and be senior authors. Gender disparities in grant funding within neurology have yet to be investigated.
