All of them received the 3rd line of therapy according to FCG and had absence or incomplete control: TNSS (Total nasal symptom score) 2. All of them were treated with the omalizumab, dose and regime were prescribed according to instruction take into account the overall IgE level and the patient's weight. Daily symptom diaries and need for rescue medication were evaluated. The primary endpoint was a decrease in the Combined medical and symptom score (CMSS) mean. \u0000Results: the additional omalizumab treatment has improved AR control for all patients and has reduced the rescue medication (TNSS 1.8 [95% CI 1.562.04]; p0.001 and CMSS 2.12 [95% CI 1.742.5]; p0.001 by the end of 1 wk after the first omalizumab injection; TNSS 2.53 [95% CI 2.053.01]; p0.0001 and CMSS 5.22 [95% CI 4.74-5.7]; p0.001 by the end of 4 wk, respectively) . It was noted that the omalizumab effect realization occurs for some time (from 3 to 7 days). Due to short season pollen for birch (1-2 month) the duration of treatment in our study did not exceed 1 month, so we managed to achieve complete control over the symptoms in all patients by the omalizumab with a small multiplicity of injections (1-2). No adverse events were registered during study. \u0000Conclusion: omalizumab additional therapy in patients with severe exacerbation of AR allows to achieving the whole symptoms control. Taking into account the mechanism omalizumab should be administered at least a week before the expected pollen season in patients with severe exacerbation (according to the previous seasons) which did not complete the allergen-specific immunotherapy in a timely manner, and continue therapy for the end of the pollen season.","PeriodicalId":270411,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Allergy","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124041682","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}

Despite the modern medicines availability the control level over the symptoms allergic rhinitis remains low in routine clinical practice. Not seeing a quick result of the intranasal glucocorticosteroids use, which have been anti-inflammatory and pathogenetic effects, patients refuse them in favor the fast-acting decongestants, and it can be underline to a chronization and the adverse events. The use of combined intranasal glucocorticosteroids and antihistamines, which have additives effect on the main pathogenesis stages of the allergic inflammation, allows to quickly achieve the control over the most pronounced rhinitis symptoms and can increase the adherence to therapy. This review presents the results of clinical studies and key characteristics of the new nasal spray of the olopatadine and mometasone fixed combination, confirming the high efficacy and good safety profile of olopatadine + mometasone. The olopatadine and mometasone fixed combination using provides a rapid nasal and ocular symptoms resolved in patients with allergic rhinitis, ultimately leading to the quality of life improvement.","PeriodicalId":270411,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Allergy","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116620702","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}

Despite the fact that there is a large amount of randomized placebo-controlled trials data on the allergen immunotherapy efficacy, a number of questions remain unanswered regarding the efficacy of the allergen immunotherapy in real practice. These questions can be answered using real-world evidence. Conducting real-world evidence studies of the allergen immunotherapy it is necessary to follow a strict methodology and to perform the multivariate analysis of the available data. Using of statistical methods reduces the risk of bias. The REACT study is currently the largest and most comprehensive real-world evidence study of the allergen immunotherapy, which included more than 90,000 patients with allergic rhinitis from Germany. The method of statistical adjustment a propensity score match was used to ensure comparable groups and representative obtained data. The REACT study provided results of fundamental clinical and public health significance: the allergen immunotherapy leads to a sustained and long-term medicine prescribing reduction in patients with allergic rhinitis and asthma, improved control of asthma, and also prevents development of exacerbations and respiratory infections in asthma patients. The REACT study is a good quality real-world evidence study with strict methodology and representative results. Further high quality standard studies of real-world data may not only confirm the randomized trials evidence, but also may become a source of new evidence for the allergen immunotherapy efficacy and safety in real clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":270411,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Allergy","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114947851","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}

The high effectiveness of this treatment method is associated with the risk of nutritional deficiency, impaired physical growth and eating behavior disorders in children due to the possible long-term elimination of important food groups without adequate replacement. This review considers physical growth disorders in children with food allergies due to insufficient intake of micronutrients (vitamins, fatty acids), as well as such behavior disorders as distortion of food and taste preferences and food neophobia. We also discuss the problems of artificial mixture choice in children of the first year of life, correction of the diet in children over one year of age with micronutrient supplementation, as well as the results of studies on the quality of life of both children with elimination diets and people from their families. When prescribing an elimination diet, the doctor must constantly monitor diet and growth indices of the child.
