Prevalence and Characteristics of Accidental Ingestions Among Pediatric Food Allergy Patients.
J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- Accidental ingestions of food allergens remain a significant issue despite known allergies, with surveys showing rates of 10% to 25% of participants reporting incidents each month.
- Key triggers for these accidental ingestions include milk, wheat, and tree nuts, with the retrospective data indicating milk as the most common offender.
- The occurrence of severe reactions, such as anaphylaxis, was notably high in both surveyed and retrospective cohorts, highlighting the need for continuous education on allergen avoidance.*
Postpartum urinary retention after the institution of a universal voiding protocol.
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med
December 2022
Objective: Postpartum urinary retention is a frequently occurring condition for which screening is not typically a standardized part of postpartum care. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of and risk factors for postpartum urinary retention after the introduction of a universal postpartum voiding protocol.
Methods: This was a single-center retrospective case-control study of women delivering in a 12-month period.
Purpose: To characterize the frozen oocyte disposition preferences of patients undergoing medical and planned fertility preservation.
Methods: All oocyte cryopreservation (OC) patients were identified between 2015 and 2018. Demographic information and fertility preservation (FP) indication (medical or planned) were identified for each patient.
IgE-primed mast cells in peripheral tissues, including the skin, lung, and intestine, are key initiators of allergen-triggered edema and inflammation. Particularly in severe forms of allergy, this inflammation becomes strongly neutrophil dominated, and yet how mast cells coordinate this type of response is unknown. We and others have reported that activated mast cells--a hematopoietic cell type--can produce IL-33, a cytokine known to participate in allergic responses but generally considered as being of epithelial origin and driving Type 2 immune responses (e.

In food allergy, there is growing awareness of the urgency in understanding these events to aid in the development of next-generation therapies and interventions. This review focuses on the accumulating evidence related to food allergy that develops after transplantation.
