AI Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates the safety and efficacy of exercise provocation tests after oral immunotherapy (OIT) for food allergies, focusing on the need for exercise restrictions post-allergen consumption.
- - Data from 91 patients at Miyagi Children's Hospital showed that 15 (around 16%) tested positive for exercise-induced allergic reactions after consuming allergens, with varying rates for different foods.
- - The findings suggest that exercise tolerance assessments are crucial before lifting exercise restrictions, as some patients continue to experience intolerance despite OIT.
Article Abstract
Background: Oral immunotherapy (OIT) for food allergy requires exercise restrictions following the regular consumption of allergens to prevent immediate symptoms. We investigated the efficacy and the safety of exercise provocation tests to assess exercise tolerance after consumption of allergens following OIT.
Methods: This study was based on data from patients who underwent exercise provocation tests with consumption of their allergen after OIT in Miyagi Children's Hospital between April 2012 and March 2019. The results of exercise provocation tests and patients' characteristics were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: Fifteen out of 91 patients were positive for exercise provocation tests. The positive rates were 12% (4/33) with egg, 15% (5/34) with cow's milk, and 25% (6/24) with wheat. Intramuscular adrenaline injections were administered to two patients with allergies to egg, one with cow's milk, and one with wheat.
Conclusion: Following OIT, the assessment using exercise provocation tests should be performed prior to termination of exercise restriction because some patients remain intolerant to exercise.

Cholinergic urticaria (CholU) is characterized by itching and/or stinging, painful micro wheals due to systemic heating. There are two standardized protocols to diagnose CholU using an exercise bike with heart rate or warming passive. The objective is to provide an affordable, new, low-tech test to assist the diagnostic.

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a rare cause of exertional leg pain in young adults, which is caused by compression of the popliteal artery by the surrounding muscular structure. Due to significant overlap in symptoms with other conditions, limitations of diagnostic imaging, and lack of awareness, PAES is frequently misdiagnosed, resulting in late complications and poor prognosis. Clinical assessment is crucial in making the initial diagnosis and referring for relevant investigations for PAES.

Exercise into Pain in Chronic Rotator Cuff-Related Shoulder Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial with 6-Month Follow-Up.

Research Group MOVANT, Department of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy (REVAKI), Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Antwerp, Wilrijk, Belgium.
Purpose: Exercise therapy is the first-line treatment in rotator cuff-related shoulder pain (RCRSP), and diverse types of exercise seem effective. However, it is not still clear if painful exercise should be allowed or avoided during exercises. The objective of this study was to investigate if exercise into pain is more effective than no pain in RCRSP.

Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), a reversible airflow obstruction triggered by exercise, should be considered in patients presenting with symptoms of dyspnea, cough, wheeze, and chest tightness during or after vigorous exercise. Over the past several years, various diagnostic modalities have been developed and evaluated for the diagnosis of EIB, giving the clinician multiple options for diagnostic testing. Here, the authors present a review of the various testing options that can be used in the diagnosis of EIB, with a discussion of testing protocols and considerations for choosing the appropriate diagnostic test.
