Mashup Score: 7Acquired immunity to random food allergens may protect some lucky people against COVID-19 - 2 year(s) ago
Why do some people become seriously ill with COVID-19, while others have no symptoms at all? The answer may lie in the proteins our immune system has previously been exposed to.

Mashup Score: 0Reply to “Should measurements of exhaled nitric oxide before and after specific inhalation test with occupational allergens be performed?” - 2 year(s) ago
We appreciate the correspondence of Professor Merget and Dr Van Kampen regarding our report.1 Engel et al2,3 demonstrated that FeNO measurement is highly predictive of occupational asthma (OA). In our study,4 FeNO levels failed to demonstrate diagnostic accuracy for OA despite a relevant increase in patients with positive specific inhalation challenge (SIC) (P < .0001).

Mashup Score: 0Should measurements of exhaled nitric oxide before and after specific inhalation testing with occupational allergens be performed? - 2 year(s) ago
Recently, Betancor et al1 concluded that measurement of FeNO before and after inhalation testing (specific inhalation challenge [SIC]) with occupational allergens is of limited diagnostic value. This conclusion contrasts with the conclusion of a previous study of our group, which showed a high predictive value of FeNO measurements before and after SIC for occupational asthma (OA).2 Both studies…

Mashup Score: 1Doses of Specific Allergens in Early Introduction Foods for Prevention of Food Allergy - 2 year(s) ago
Consumption of common allergenic foods, such as peanut, in early life can reduce the risk of food allergy among high-risk children and is recommended in revised clinical guidelines. Commercial early allergen introduction foods (EIF) containing single or multiple allergenic foods for feeding infants are promoted to consumers and health care providers as aids to prevent food allergy.

Mashup Score: 0Reply to “Concerns about the approach of measuring allergens in early introduction foods for prevention of food allergy” - 3 year(s) ago
We thank Weihi et al1 for their critique of our study.2 To be clear, our study was not to measure early introduction food (EIF) ingredients (such as rice or oat) but to measure allergens of known clinical importance. The underlying assumption of the Learning Early About Peanut Allergy (LEAP) study is that prevention of peanut allergy is mediated by the development of immunological tolerance to…
