8 Oct 2008 at 12:00pm For the 3 million children with food allergies, Halloween spooks and scares are not limited to vampires and witches. Candies containing peanuts or chocolate can be just as frightening. To replace the fear with fun, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) has developed a checklist of safety tips for food-allergic children. 6 Oct 2008 at 12:00pm Allergic reactions to latex happen commonly in medical settings, where rubber gloves are in abundant supply. But less-visible elements in other environments can also pose danger, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). "Consider that restaurant meals are frequently prepared by cooks wearing latex gloves. In schools, the cafeteria may be a threat, but there is also potential exposure to latex in school supplies," said Donald H. 6 Oct 2008 at 5:00am Community pharmacies in Wales will, from February 2009, be able to offer an allergy screening service to members of the public. The initiative from Allergy UK in association with the National Pharmacy Association (NPA) will train pharmacists to provide advice and support for allergy sufferers in the principality. 3 Oct 2008 at 2:00am Circassia Ltd, a specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on the fields of allergy and critical care, today announced the start of a further phase II clinical study of its ToleroMune(R) technology in the field of cat allergy. The trial builds on positive results achieved in an earlier phase II study, which demonstrated the potential clinical benefits of the ToleroMune approach to allergy desensitization. 1 Oct 2008 at 1:00pm Hay fever, the often seasonal allergy that affects between 10 and 20 percent of the American population, is best controlled through a course of patient-adjusted dosing, according to new research published in the September 2008 edition of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery. 1 Oct 2008 at 5:00am The level of knowledge and understanding of children with food allergies varies significantly across three key groups: pediatricians and family physicians, the general public and families who have a child with food allergies. The article describing the new findings was published in the September issue of BioMed Central Pediatrics. 1 Oct 2008 at 2:00am Asthma that manifests in early adulthood has its origins in early childhood, according to an article released on September 19, 2008 in The Lancet. To investigate the origins of adult-onset asthma, Dr Debra Stern and Professor Fernando D Martinez, Arizona Respiratory Center, Tucson, Arizona, USA, and colleagues examined the Tucson Children's Respiratory Study, a cohort beginning in the early 1980s. 30 Sep 2008 at 2:00am Adult-onset asthma can be predicted by the presence of rhinitis, both allergic and non-allergic, according to an article released on September 19, 2008 in The Lancet. To investigate the potential implications of both allergic and non-allergic rhinitis on adult-onset asthma, Rafea Shaaban, Mahmoud Zureik, and Benedicte Leynaert, of the INSERM Epidemiology Team, Paris, France, and colleagues, examined data from the European Community Health Survey. 24 Sep 2008 at 2:00am Sanofi-aventis announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Nasacort AQ Nasal Spray (triamcinolone acetonide) for children aged 2 - 5 years old for the treatment of nasal symptoms associated with seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis. 23 Sep 2008 at 12:00pm Everyday exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, allergens, and air pollution may be the root of chronic cases of laryngitis, says new research presented at the 2008 American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO in Chicago, IL. Laryngitis symptoms include hoarseness of the voice, cough, and chronic clearing of the throat. 23 Sep 2008 at 10:00am Entellus Medical, a Minnesota-based medical technology company, today announced the launch of its FinESS Sinus Treatment, a less-invasive and effective treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), during the American Academy of Otolaryngology Annual Meeting in Chicago September 21-24. Results of the BREATHE I clinical study validating the FinESS treatment were presented to members of the American Rhinologic Society (ARS) during its annual meeting in Chicago on September 20. 23 Sep 2008 at 5:00am Children who suffer from bouts of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) are also more likely to suffer from headaches, facial pain, and ear aches than children without these allergies, says new research presented at the 2008 American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO in Chicago, IL. Allergic rhinitis is a collection of symptoms predominantly in the nose and eyes, caused by airborne particles of dust, dander, or plant pollens. 17 Sep 2008 at 4:00am Adults who take paracetamol weekly were nearly three times more likely to have asthma than those taking paracetamol less often, according to a study organised by GA²LEN, the Global Allergy and Asthma European Network. Use of other painkillers was not significantly related to asthma. In the GA²LEN-SARI study, published in the European Respiratory Journal, researchers across Europe compared the frequency of analgesic use in over 500 adults with asthma and over 500 controls. 11 Sep 2008 at 5:00am ImVisioN Therapeutics AG., a biopharmaceutical company pioneering intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT™), announced that it has enrolled the first patient for a Phase I clinical study of its lead product IVN201, an immunotherapeutic product for cat dander allergy. The Company also announced the closing of a Series A Financing round of CHF 4.6 M, allowing the clinical development of IVN201. 11 Sep 2008 at 2:00am Circassia Ltd, a specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on controlling immune system responses, announced positive results from a phase II clinical study of its anti-allergy technology, ToleroMune(R), in the field of cat allergy. The trial showed that ToleroMune treatment can substantially reduce allergic reactions to the allergen that causes most cat allergies, and importantly was well tolerated by all patients. |
