However, few studies have been conducted on sleep in adults with atopic dermatitis. This study aimed to evaluate sleep and quality of life in adults with AD. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 36 adults diagnosed with AD and 21 healthy volunteers (controls), who completed questionnaires on sleep, itching, and quality of life. Disease severity was estimated using SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD). All participants wore actigraphy watches for one week to objectively assess sleep quality. Results. Adults with AD slept worse than controls as measured by self-report (Global Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, mean ± SD, 9.33 ± 3.59 vs 5.00 ± 2.30, p < 0.001) and by actigraphy (sleep efficiency, SE), mean ± SD, 74.48 ± 11.63 vs 85.6 ± 6.53, p < 0.001). Actigraphy showed that adults with AD slept, on average, almost one hour less (p = 0.010), stayed awake during sleep for almost 44 minutes more (p < 0.001), and woke up 25% more than the controls (p = 0.047). In the AD group, SE and total sleep time were significantly inversely correlated with SCORAD (rs = -0.601, p < 0.001 and rs = -0.604, p < 0.001, respectively), but no significant correlation was found between itch and SE. A decreased quality of life was observed in adults with AD (DLQI, mean ± SD, 8.75 ± 6.7). Conclusions. Adults with AD slept worse than the controls and had a diminished quality of life. Actigraphy is a useful tool to objectively measure sleep quality in adults with AD especially those with moderate to severe disease.","PeriodicalId":11890,"journal":{"name":"European annals of allergy and clinical immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142307352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is the only disease-modifying treatment in allergy. Its efficacy has been demonstrated in the treatment of Local Allergic Rhinitis (LAR) in adults. This study intends to evaluate the effectiveness of AIT in specific nasal reactivity of paediatric patients with LAR. Methods. Patients diagnosed with LAR to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp) were submitted to subcutaneous AIT (SCIT) (depigmented-polymerized Dp allergen extracts) for 3 years. Nasal allergen challenge (NACs) with Dp extract were performed before and 3 years after AIT. NAC response was assessed with peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) and symptom score of Lebel. NACs were considered positive when there was a flow decrease of ≥ 20% in PNIF and a score of symptoms ≥ 3 points. Demographic data and NAC results were analysed. Results. We included 32 paediatric patients (mean age 9.9±3.08 years, 18 female) and 10 adult patients, (mean age 30.4±12.2 years, 7 female). The symptom score obtained at the 1st minute, 5th minute, 15th minute and 30th minute in response to NAC, were reduced after AIT. The nasal inspiratory flow decrease induced by NAC was also reduced after AIT. This reduction in nasal reactivity was observed in paediatric and in adult patients, both with statistical significance. Conclusions. AIT induced a decrease in Dp-nasal specific reactivity in children with LAR. This decline of nasal response to allergen exposure, after AIT treatment, emphasis the interest of this therapeutic approach in LAR, even in paediatric patients.","PeriodicalId":11890,"journal":{"name":"European annals of allergy and clinical immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142105631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ultra-rush venom immunotherapy protocols have shown to be a safe and effective approach to prevent the occurrence of systemic reactions after hymenoptera stings. The aim was to describe our experience with two ultra-rush protocols - a five-step with 1 µg starting dose and a six-step with 0.1 µg starting dose, as well as to compare their safety profile. Methods. This is a retrospective study of all the patients who underwent VIT with honey bee or wasp venom between January 2008 and December 2021, in our department. Results. A total of 110 patients was included, with 109 patients (99%) completing the protocol. A total of 63 (57%) patients had no local or systemic reactions. Most systemic reactions occurred with 20 µg or higher doses (24, 83%). There were no documented grade IV systemic reactions (Mueller grading). No differences were found in local or systemic reactions regarding sex, atopy, β-blocker medication, the severity of the index reaction, ID test positivity, levels of total IgE, specific IgE and tryptase (all p > 0.05). Younger age, treatment with bee VIT or being a beekeeper were associated with more systemic reactions (p = 0.035, 0.006 and 0.047, respectively). No statistical differences in the number of local and systemic reactions were found when comparing both protocols (p = 1.000). Conclusions. Ultra-rush protocols are safe and effective, but systemic reactions are to be expected, especially with honeybee. Our data supports that ACE inhibitors do not compromise safety. Beginning with 1 µg is safe and can save time and resources.","PeriodicalId":11890,"journal":{"name":"European annals of allergy and clinical immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142105633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current recommendations for infant weaning suggest introducing common food allergens by the age of 12 months. While homemade meals are advisable, there is a notable demand for commercially available complementary foods (CACF). Furthermore, emerging evidence suggests a potential link between the consumption of ultra-processed products and the incidence of allergic diseases. This study aimed to examine the presence of the fourteen main food allergens in CACF ingredients through label analysis and evaluate their extent of processing. Methods. Between January and February 2024, labels of all CACF found in infant feeding sections of 10 Portuguese grocery retailers were analyzed. CACF were categorized based on the NOVA food classification system's processing levels. Milk formulas, products for children over 15 months, and those for children with food allergies or intolerances were excluded Results. Of the 492 products analysed, 132 contained wheat and 112 contained milk. 16 products included fish and 6 contained egg. Soy was listed as an ingredient in 11 products, mainly as soy lecithin. Only 2 product contained nuts, and 1 product contained peanuts. None of the products contained the remaining six allergens. The majority of milk- and wheat-containing products were classified as ultra-processed and contained added sugars and/or sweeteners. Conclusions. Despite the current guidelines, commercial baby foods often lack major allergens, namely nuts and peanuts, eggs, and shellfish. Our results underscore the need for healthy, age-appropriate, minimally processed products that incorporate rather than exclude major food allergens.","PeriodicalId":11890,"journal":{"name":"European annals of allergy and clinical immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142105632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An observational, descriptive, retrospective, and cross-sectional study was performed, that included a cohort of 126 patients followed in a single Portuguese Center. Results. We observed a high prevalence of HAE-C1-INH type II (45.2% of patients). Most HAE patients (67.4%) presented the initial manifestations of the disease before adulthood, at a mean age of 12.6 ± 8.4 years. However, we found a long delay in HAE diagnosis, especially in those without family history (mean 20.7 ± 17.3 years). Stress was the most common trigger, followed by trauma and infection. Symptoms involving different systems were increasingly reported with increased disease duration. Cutaneous symptoms (95.0%) were more frequent, followed by gastrointestinal (80.7%), and respiratory symptoms (50.4%). HAE symptoms led to abdominal surgery in 22 (17.5%) patients and induced laryngeal edema requiring intubation/tracheostomy in 8 (6.3%) patients. Most patients were under long-term prophylaxis, mainly with attenuated androgens (62.7% of patients). Conclusions.

Although biologic agents promise a short- to medium-term remission in asthma, it is unclear whether they can fundamentally alter disease course and achieve long-term remission. We aimed to investigate the clinical remission success of biologics in patients with severe asthma and the factors associated with remission. Methods. Adults followed-up due to severe asthma who were treated with mepolizumab or omalizumab were included in the study. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were reviewed. Subjects with and without clinical remission at 12 and 36 months were identified. Comparisons between the groups were made with univariate and multivariable analyses. Results. Seventy-four patients were included in the study. The mean age of subjects was 51.85 (standard deviation: 11.43) years, and 50 (67.57%) were females. The 12- and 36-month remission rates were 72.97% and 51.79%, respectively. Patients with and without remission were similar in terms of age and gender distribution. FEV1% predicted (p = 0.009) and FEV1/FVC ratio (p = 0.039) were significantly higher in those with remission at 12 months compared to those without. FEV1 (p less than 0.001), FEV1% predicted (p less than 0.001) and FEV1/FVC ratio (p = 0.004) were significantly higher in those with remission at 36 months compared to those without. Multivariable logistic regression revealed that higher FEV1% predicted was the only factor independently associated with remission for both time points. Conclusions. Omalizumab and mepolizumab provide significant clinical remission rates in severe asthma. FEV1% predicted is a variable that can independently predict clinical remission among severe asthmatics receiving biologic agents.","PeriodicalId":11890,"journal":{"name":"European annals of allergy and clinical immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138487067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
