Novel Perspectives in the Detection of Oral and Nasal Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Pediatric United Airway Diseases

2010

United airway disease (UAD) concept proposed that asthma and rhinitis are both different clinical manifestation of a single inflammatory process. The aim of this study is to assess in upper and lower airways the level of inflammation and oxidative stress and to investigate the relationship between biomarkers in persistent allergic rhinitis (PER) and in concomitant asthma with PER. By a crosssectional study we measured oral and nasal (FENO) and oral and nasal EBC 8-isoprostane, LTB4 and PGE2 in children with PER (n=14) and with PER and concomitant intermittent asthma (IA; n=25), mild persistent asthma (mA; n=28), moderate persistent asthma (MA; n=13) and in Healthy Controls (HCs; n=13). Oral…

Allergic sensitization to common pets (cats/dogs) according to different possible modalities of exposure: an Italian Multicenter Study

2018

Abstract Background The query “are there animals at home?” is usually administered for collecting information on anamnesis. This modality to consider exposure to pet allergens constitutes a potential bias in epidemiological studies and in clinical practice. The aim of our study was to evaluate/quantify different modalities of exposure to cat/dog in inducing allergic sensitization. Methods Thirty Italian Allergy units participated in this study. Each centre was required to collect the data of at least 20 consecutive outpatients sensitized to cat/dog allergens. A standardized form reported all demographic data and a particular attention was paid in relieving possible modalities of exposure to…

Catching allergy by a simple questionnaire

2014

Background Identifying allergic rhinitis requires allergy testing, but the first-line referral for rhinitis are usually primary care physicians (PCP), who are not familiar with such tests. The availability of easy and simple tests to be used by PCP to suggest allergy should be very useful. Methods The Respiratory Allergy Prediction (RAP) test, based on 9 questions and previously validated by a panel of experts, was evaluated in this study. Results An overall number of 401 patients (48.6% males, age range 14–62 years) with respiratory symptoms was included. Of them, 89 (22.2%) showed negative results to SPT, while 312 (77.8%) had at least one positive result to SPT. Cohen’s kappa coefficient…

Efficacy of subcutaneous and sublingual immunotherapy with grass allergens for seasonal allergic rhinitis: a meta-analysis–based comparison

2012

Background: Subcutaneous (SCIT) and sublingual (SLIT) immunotherapy are the 2 most prescribed routes for administering allergen-specific immunotherapy. They were shown to be effective in control of symptoms and in reducing rescue medication use in patients with allergic diseases, but their effectiveness has to be balanced against side effects. In recent years, SLIT has been increasingly prescribed, instead of SCIT, because of improved safety and easy administration. Objective: We assessed which route is the most effective in the treatment of patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis to grass pollen. Methods: An indirect meta-analysis–based comparison between SCIT and SLIT was performed. Trea…

Molekulārās sensibilizācijas profila pret suņiem saistība ar astmas un alerģiska rinīta kontroles rādītājiem

2022

Izpētes objekts Šis pētījums tika veikts, lai novērtētu suņa alergēnu molekulu sensitizāciju saistību ar astmu un alerģisko rinītu. Pētījuma metodoloģija Tika analizēti dati pacientiem, kuriem veikta ALEX vai ALEX2 paneļa testēšana un iegūts sensitizāciju profils katrai suņa alergēna molekulai (Can f 1, Can f 2, Can f 3, Can f 4, Can f 5 un Can f 6). Iegūtie dati tika analizēti kopā ar pacienta datiem par astmu un alerģisko rinītu. Rezultāti Molekulārā sensitizācija pret Can f 1, Can f 2 un Can f 6 uzrādīja statistiski nozīmīgu ietekmi uz astmas risku, taču, kad tika izslēgta sensitizācija pret citu dzīvnieku epitēliju, tikai Can f 1 un Can f 2 uzrādīja statistiski nozīmīgu ietekmi. Arī poz…
