Appropriate innate immune function is essential to limit pathogenesis and severity of severe lower respiratory infections (sLRI) during infancy, a leading cause of hospitalization and risk factor for subsequent asthma in this age group.
The science that interprets the way nutrients and other substances in food affect maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease.
In addition to its role in blocking TH2 effector activation in the late-phase allergic response, IL-10 is a known IgG1 switch factor
Nutrition is a modifiable lifestyle factor that may play a role in allergic disease prevention. This article summarizes current evidence on the antenatal diet as a consideration for strategies to prevent child food allergy. As eczema in early infancy substantially increases the risk of food allergy development, the effects of maternal dietary intakes during pregnancy on infant eczema outcomes will also be discussed.
As the prevalence of allergic disease dramatically rises worldwide, prevention strategies are increasingly being considered.
The field of the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) focuses on prenatal influences as a crucial point in development.
In order to help doctors and families reduce the risk of fractures, we developed clinical guidelines for managing bone health in Rett syndrome.
Though exposure to air pollution has a detrimental effect on respiratory health, few studies have examined the association between elemental carbon exposure...
This study investigates the impact of measuring adherence and providing feedback on medication usage by children with unstable asthma.
Peri-operative respiratory adverse events remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children undergoing general anaesthesia; those with asthma are at higher risk. The aim of this feasibility study was to determine whether pre-operative measurements of fractional exhaled nitric oxide and the forced oscillation technique are feasible in children, and to explore whether these measurements can predict peri-operative respiratory adverse events.
