Objectives: To determine the allergic reactions that develop after Measles and Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccination, and whether any delay in the timing of vaccination occurs in children with food allergy.
Methods: Children with food allergy who were admitted to the Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital Healthy Child Clinic between 1st January 2015 and 30th June 2018 for Measles or MMR vaccination were studied retrospectively. Their age, delayed days of vaccination, the types of allergic food, the results of the specific IgE and skin tests, and any reaction after the vaccination were recorded.
Results: During the study period, 159 patients were vaccinated and 170 doses of Measles or MMR vaccine were administered. Children allergic to egg were 50.3%, allergic to egg and milk were 25.8%, and 13.2% had multiple food allergy including egg. The rate of post-vaccination reactions in the patients with food allergy was 1.76%. Minor reaction was observed in three patients and no anaphylaxis was seen in any patient. Delayed days of vaccination in the patients referred by another center were greater than followed-up by present clinic (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Any serious allergic reaction was not observed in this study. Food allergy does not necessitate modification of routine vaccination. Anaphylaxis may develop in any vaccinated child regardless of whether he/she has food allergy or not. Therefore, vaccines should be administered in a healthcare facility that can treat anaphylaxis.

Background: The incidence of allergic diseases has been increasing in Japan. In particular, a serious decline in the age of onset of allergic rhinitis has been observed. Passive smoking from parental smoking has a significant impact on children's health; however, it is difficult to restrict smoking in the home.

Objective: Caregiver perceived food allergy severity is associated with food allergy burden, while caregiver food allergy self-efficacy has been linked to improved quality of life for caregivers. This study examined the mediating effect of caregiver food allergy self-efficacy on the relationship between perceived food allergy severity and caregiver food allergy burden.
Methods: Caregivers of children diagnosed with IgE-mediated food allergy were recruited from pediatric allergy clinics to complete demographic and medical questionnaires, the Food Allergy Independent Measure-Parent Form, the Food Allergy Self-Efficacy Scale for Parents, and the Food Allergy Quality of Life-Parental Burden.

Premastication is a traditional feeding method whereby solids are pre-chewed by the mother or sometimes by other relatives and then given to the infant along with the oral microbiota. The aim of this study was to assess if premastication is known or performed among the German population as well as to evaluate the expectations regarding this feeding method, particularly in the context of allergy prevention. Two surveys about premastication were conducted.

Imidazoline receptors (I-IRs) are altered in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and are associated with analgesia. I-IRs are not structurally described, and their pharmacological characterization relies on their modulation by highly affine ligands. Herein, we describe the synthesis of (3-phenylcarbamoyl-3,4-dihydro-2-pyrrol-2-yl)phosphonates endowed with relevant affinities for I-IRs in human brain tissues.
