From Sensitisation to Tolerance: A Retrospective Study of Tree Nut and Peanut Allergy in Pediatric Patients

Background: Tree nut/Peanut (TN/PN) allergies are among the most common pediatric food allergies, often persisting into later life and posing significant clinical risks. The likelihood of tolerance acquisition varies, and predictive factors remain inadequately defined in clinical practice. Objective: To evaluate the clinical and laboratory features associated with anaphylaxis risk and tolerance development in pediatric […]

Pediatric food allergy prevalence and trends by race and ethnicity

Background: In the United States, food allergies (FAs) disproportionately affect children based on their racial or ethnic heritage, though there are some gaps and discrepancies in the literature about the prevalence of FAs among different groups. Objective: The objective was to analyze clinical data to determine how FA prevalence varies based on race and ethnicity […]

Kinetics of early peanut allergy development and resolution in the EAT, LEAP, and PAS cohorts

Background: Little is known about the development and resolution of early peanut allergy (PA). Objective: We examined the natural history and biomarkers of PA longitudinally in 3 cohorts. Methods: PA development was examined in the Enquiring About Tolerance (EAT), Learning Early About Peanut (LEAP), and Peanut Allergy Sensitization (PAS) cohorts. Early PA was defined by […]

Infant Diet Recommendations Reduce IgE-Mediated Egg, Peanut, and Cow’s Milk Allergies

Background: Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials have found that introducing eggs and peanuts earlier during infancy reduced egg and peanut allergy risk. Hence, infant feeding advice has dramatically changed from previous recommendations of avoidance to current recommendations of inclusion of common food allergens in infant diets. Objective: To compare the prevalence of IgE-mediated food allergies […]

The impact of almond supplementation on oxidative stress biomarkers: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials

Oxidative stress, an imbalance between reactive oxygen species and antioxidants, contributes to chronic diseases. Almonds, rich in vitamin E, polyphenols, and monounsaturated fats, exhibit antioxidant potential, though their overall effects on oxidative biomarkers are unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate almond supplementation’s impact on these biomarkers in adults. Following PRISMA guidelines, PubMed, Scopus, and […]

Association between consumption of different food groups and risk of chronic kidney disease: a dose-response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies

Inlight of varying outcomes from prior research concerning the relationship between different food groups and the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), this study was conducted to examine the relationship between the consumption of various food groups and CKD risk via a dose-dependent meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies. Searches were conducted in the Web of […]

Daily walnut consumption increases 6-sulfatoxymelatonin urinary levels and can improve sleep quality: a randomized crossover trial

We aimed to study the potential impact of daily consumption of walnuts on urinary 6-sulphatoxymelatonin (6-SMT) levels and sleep quality parameters. We conducted an open-label randomized crossover trial (NCT04799821) in 76 young adults (24.1 ± 3.4 years; 85.5% women) who either ingested 40 g of walnuts daily during dinner (intervention) or refrained from eating walnuts […]
