Objective: The objective of this review is to synthesize the experiences of primary school-age children living with food allergies.
Introduction: The prevalence of food allergies has increased in recent years. Primary school-age children with food allergies experience various psychological and social effects, including depressive symptoms, bullying, psychological distress, abnormal eating behaviors, and a diminished quality of life. However, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews focusing on the experiences of children with food allergies.
Inclusion Criteria: Qualitative studies including children aged 6 to 12 years living with food allergies will be considered for inclusion. The phenomena of interest are the experiences of primary school-age children living with food allergies. The context of this review encompasses daily life in the community, including school, home, and visits to hospitals or treatment settings.
Methods: The databases to be searched will include CINAHL (EBSCOhost), MEDLINE (EBSCOhost), PsycINFO (EBSCOhost), and Igaku Chuo Zasshi (Japan Medical Abstracts Society). The sources of gray literature will be MedNar, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses A&I, ClinicalTrials.gov, and UMIN-CTR. After screening the titles and abstracts of identified citations, potentially relevant studies will be retrieved in full. The review will be conducted following the JBI methodology for qualitative evidence. The JBI process of meta-aggregation will be used to identify categories and synthesize findings. Study selection, critical appraisal, data extraction, and data synthesis will be independently performed by 2 reviewers. The synthesized findings will be graded according to the ConQual approach to establish confidence in the findings.

This article describes a dataset on nut allergy extracted from Spanish clinical records provided by the Hospital Universitario Fundación de Alcorcón (HUFA) in Madrid, Spain, in collaboration with its Allergology Unit and Information Systems and Technologies Department. There are few publicly available clinical texts in Spanish and having more is essential as a valuable resource to train and test information extraction systems. In total, 828 clinical notes in Spanish were employed and several experts participated in the annotation process by categorizing the annotated entities into medical semantic groups related to allergies.

Background: The 2006 National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease/Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (NIAID/FAAN) anaphylaxis criteria are widely used in clinical care and research. In 2020, the World Allergy Organization (WAO) published modified criteria that have not been uniformly adopted. Different criteria contribute to inconsistent care and research outcomes.

Introduction: Due to their widespread character, allergic diseases are a significant challenge in the field of public health and clinical practice. The available clinimetric tools, including standardized and validated questionnaires, play an important role in determining the incidence of a particular allergic disease in the targeted population.
Aim: We attempted to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of modified and standardized questions from the ISSAC and ECRHS questionnaires in the diagnosis of allergic diseases.
Changes of digestive stability and potential allergenicity of high hydrostatic pressure-treated ovalbumin during in vitro digestion.

Food allergens are defined by their stability during digestion, with allergenicity largely influenced by resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis. Ovalbumin (OVA), a major egg protein, is a significant contributor to food allergies, particularly in children. Our previous work demonstrated that high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment reduces OVA allergenicity by disrupting conformational epitopes and altering its structure.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to provide an overview of the current and future treatment options for children with food allergies (FAs), highlighting the latest research findings and the potential impact of these new approaches on improving patients' and caregivers' quality of life.
Recent Findings: In the last decade, many promising approaches have emerged as an alternative to the standard avoidance of the culprit food with the risk of severe accidental reactions. Desensitization through oral immunotherapy has been introduced in clinical settings as a therapeutic approach, and more recently also omalizumab.
