Background: Epidemiological evidence between the sleep disorders and allergy-related outcomes is limited.
Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to estimate the relationship between sleep disorders and allergy-related outcomes in adults.
Methods: We built logistic regression models to examine the associations between sleep disorders and allergy-related outcomes in adult participants using the 2005-2006 NHANES database. Allergy-related outcomes included sIgE levels, asthma, hay fever, sneezing, wheezing, and eczema. Sleep disorders included sleep latency, sleep length, sleep problems, OSA symptoms, and daytime sleepiness. A t-test was used for between-group comparisons.
Results: Participants with OSA symptoms had 2.72 × higher odds of experiencing hay fever and 1.54 × higher odds of having eczema compared to Non-OSA symptoms participants. Participants with insufficient sleep (≤ 6 h/night) had 1.27 × higher odds of developing allergic sensitisation compared to participants with adequate sleep (7-8 h/night). Sneezing was positively associated with sleep problems (OR: 1.706; 95% CI 1.386, 2.099), OSA symptoms (OR: 1.297; 95% CI 1.049, 1.605), and daytime sleepiness (OR: 1.569; 95% CI 1.205, 2.04).
Conclusion: Our findings suggest a positive association between allergy-related outcomes and sleep disorders. In particular, OSA symptoms, daytime sleepiness, and sleep problems are strongly associated with allergic conditions.

Kounis syndrome following COVID-19 vaccination: Clinical manifestations, mechanisms and management.
Hum Vaccin Immunother

Department of Pediatrics, The Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan Province, China.
Article Synopsis
- Kounis syndrome is an acute coronary condition triggered by allergic reactions, resulting in heart damage and, in some cases, anaphylactic shock.
- This syndrome can occur as a rare side effect of COVID-19 vaccinations, highlighting the need for further case studies to improve understanding and treatments.
- Analysis of data from 15 patients revealed that the first vaccine dose is more likely to cause Kounis syndrome, emphasizing the importance of prompt diagnosis and monitoring for cardiac symptoms after vaccination.
Interpretable machine learning for allergic rhinitis prediction among preschool children in Urumqi, China.
Sci Rep
September 2024
Department of Pathophysiology, School of Basic Medical Science, Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, 830000, Xinjiang, China.
This study aimed to investigate the advantages and applications of machine learning models in predicting the risk of allergic rhinitis (AR) in children aged 2-8, compared to traditional logistic regression. The study analyzed questionnaire data from 7131 children aged 2-8, which was randomly divided into training, validation, and testing sets in a ratio of 55:15:30, repeated 100 times. Predictor variables included parental allergy, medical history during the child's first year (cfy), and early life environmental factors.
