AI Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used community input, conducted focus groups, and gathered feedback from experts to develop a 91-item tool.
- * The final measure will help understand the impacts of food allergies on families with children aged two to twelve years, emphasizing the importance of caregiver perspectives.
Article Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to develop an outcome measure for caregivers of children with food allergy.
Methods: A community-informed measure development process was utilised to generate a novel parent-reported outcome tool for caregivers of children with food allergy. We conducted focus groups with parents and caregivers of food-allergic (n = 18) children, following which a team of coders identified themes and generated an initial set of candidate items. These items were reviewed by content-area experts (n = 10) using content validity indices. We then conducted a series of cognitive interviews with parents of children with food allergy (n = 12) validating the instrument draft.
Results: We describe the results of these development steps as well as future steps to produce the final, validated form of the measure. The resultant 91-item measure is intended for parents of children ages two to 12 years.
Conclusion: This measure fills a unique need in the field by leveraging key stakeholders' perspectives to develop and subsequently validate a novel parent-reported measure of parent and family food allergy impacts of children ages two to 12 years old.

Acceptability of a dapivirine levonorgestrel vaginal ring in two Phase 1 trials (MTN-030/IPM 041 and MTN-044/IPM 053/CCN019): Implications for multipurpose prevention technology development.

End-user feedback early in product development is important for optimizing multipurpose prevention technologies for HIV and pregnancy prevention. We evaluated the acceptability of the 90-day dapivirine levonorgestrel ring (DPV-LNG ring) used for 14 days compared to a dapivirine-only ring (DVR-200mg) in MTN-030/IPM 041 (n = 23), and when used for 90 days cyclically or continuously in MTN-044/IPM 053/CCN019 (n = 25). We enrolled healthy, non-pregnant, HIV-negative women aged 18-45 in Pittsburgh, PA and Birmingham, AL (MTN-030 only).

Background: Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is a rare radiological finding that may be associated with various diseases. In the neonatal period, it is considered pathognomonic for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Cow's milk protein allergy (CMA) is the main cause of allergy especially in term infants appearing following breastfeeding or consumption of milk-based formulas.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is characterised by blood oxygen desaturations and sleep disruptions manifesting undesirable consequences. Existing treatments including oral appliances, positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy and surgically altering the anatomy of the pharynx have drawbacks including poor long-term adherence or often involving irreversible, invasive procedures. Bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) is a new treatment for managing OSA, and this study is intended to determine whether an HNS system is a safe and effective treatment option for adults with OSA.

Purpose Of Review: There is an increasing awareness among clinicians that industrial and household food processing methods can increase or decrease the allergenicity of foods. Modification to allergen properties through processing can enable dietary liberations. Reduced allergenicity may also allow for lower risk immunotherapy approaches.
