Mashup Score: 0Evaluating Inhaler Education Interventions for Hospitalized Children with Asthma: A Randomized Controlled Trial - 1 year(s) ago
Most children with asthma have poor inhaler technique, with detrimental morbidity effects. Guidelines recommend clinicians provide inhaler education at every opportunity, yet resources are limited. A low-cost, technology-based intervention—Virtual Teach-to-Goal (V-TTG)—was developed to deliver tailored inhaler technique education with high fidelity.

Mashup Score: 0A review of cannabis allergy in the early days of legalization - 1 year(s) ago
Cannabis allergy is a burgeoning field; consequently, research is still in its infancy and allergists’ knowledge surrounding this topic is limited. As cannabis legalization expands across the world, it is anticipated that there will be an increase in cannabis use. Thus, we hypothesize that a concomitant rise in the incidence of allergy to this plant can be expected. Initiatives aimed at properly…

Mashup Score: 0The epidemiology of food allergy in adults - 1 year(s) ago
The prevalence and awareness of food allergy (FA) among US adults is arguably at a historical high, both with respect to primary immunoglobulin E–mediated food hypersensitivity and other food-triggered conditions that operate through a variety of immunologic mechanisms (eg, pollen-FA syndrome, alpha-gal syndrome, food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome, eosinophilic esophagitis). Worryingly,…

Mashup Score: 1Cow's milk formula each day may keep milk allergy away - 1 year(s) ago
The landscape of food allergy prevention has seen tremendous change over the past few years, with multiple studies supporting early food introduction. The Learning Early About Peanut Allergy study1 focused on a high-risk population for peanut allergy development and found that early peanut introduction resulted in an 81% reduction in the prevalence of peanut allergy at age 5 years. The Enquiring…

Mashup Score: 0Nanotechnology in the basophil activation test - 1 year(s) ago
Anaphylaxis is a serious, life-threatening, and immediate systemic hypersensitivity reaction (HR) induced by mast cell and basophil degranulation. The syndrome is a medical emergency, which must be diagnosed promptly to be treated with intramuscular epinephrine.1 Basophils are leukocytes that comprise less than 1% of the circulating white blood cells. They share similar features with tissue mast…

Mashup Score: 2Does improved indoor air quality lead to better asthma control? - 1 year(s) ago
The use of environmental control as an intervention for respiratory conditions such as asthma is the underlying tenant of the allergy profession. The allergy model goes like this: A patient with a respiratory condition is seen by an allergist who attempts to identify environmental triggers for the condition using a combination of history and allergy testing. Once the likely triggers are…

Mashup Score: 0
Cow’s milk allergy (CMA) is a common food allergy among infants. Information regarding the best timing for first exposure to cow’s milk formula (CMF) is controversial and more evidence is required. Few randomized control trials have tried to accurately assess the timing and preventive effect of exposure to CMF on small cohorts.
