Filter by:The aim of this cohort is to identify environmental, lifestyle and genetic factors that modify the human intestinal microbiota development during the first years of life, and to identify early microbiota features that associate to child health and well-being with focus on the development of allergic diseases and overweight.
The goal of this multicentric, prospective, randomised, controlled study (§23b German Act on Medical Devices (MPG)) is to investigate the efficacy of Ectoin Lozenges (EHT02) in treatment and prevention of oropharyngeal allergic symptoms.
The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of Rowenta® "Intense Pure Air XL" air cleaner on the early and late bronchial response, in cat-allergic asthmatic patients during an allergen exposure in ALYATEC environmental chamber (EEC)
Predicting the risk of allergenic sensitizations and asthma development in the first year of life is difficult. Investigator decided to follow prospectively two cohorts of infants with acute bronchiolitis, hospitalized or treated at home, from the epidemic seasons of 2011-2012 and 2015-2017 to know their respiratory evolution, especially if they developed allergen sensitization and / or asthma.
Children will receive biodiversity intervention or placebo. The proof of concept trial is double blind. Intervention will start at the age of 2 months and last 10 months. Children will be randomized to arms. IgE sensitization is the primary outcome.
Mental disorders have been shown to be associated with a number of general medical conditions (also referred to as somatic or physical conditions). The investigators aim to undertake a comprehensive study of comorbidity among those with treated mental disorders, by using high-quality Danish registers to provide age- and sex-specific pairwise estimates between the ten groups of mental disorders and nine groups of general medical conditions. The investigators will examine the association between all 90 possible pairs of prior mental disorders and later GMC categories using the Danish national registers. Depending on whether individuals are diagnosed with a specific mental disorder, the investigators will estimate the risk of receiving a later diagnosis within a specific GMC category, between the start of follow-up (January 1, 2000) or at the earliest age at which a person might develop the mental disorder, whichever comes later. Follow-up will be terminated at onset of the GMC, death, emigration from Denmark, or December 31, 2016, whichever came first. Additionally for dyslipidemia, follow-up will be ended if a diagnosis of ischemic heart disease was received. A "wash-out" period will be employed in the five years before follow-up started (1995-1999), to identify and exclude prevalent cases from the analysis. Individuals with the GMC of interest before the observation period will be considered prevalent cases and excluded from the analyses (i.e. prevalent cases were "washed-out"). When estimating the risk of a specific GMC, the investigators will consider all individuals to be exposed or unexposed to the each mental disorder depending on whether a diagnosis is received before the end of follow-up. Persons will be considered unexposed to a mental disorder until the date of the first diagnosis, and exposed thereafter.
The aim of the research project is to develop, deliver and assess the feasibility of a nurse-led allergy clinic in primary care, taking into account population, geographical area and needs of healthcare in the area chosen. It is widely acknowledged that the majority of cases of mild to moderate allergy could be adequately dealt with in primary care, by a healthcare professional with the appropriate expertise and knowledge of allergy. The provision of allergy care in the community could potentially have a beneficial impact on health care and patient outcomes. The project will comprise the set up and delivery of a nurse led allergy clinic in primary care and use a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate the feasibility of the clinic. This will include the use of a series of validated questionnaires e.g. satisfaction, condition specific quality of life and economic cost questionnaires, as well as face to face interviews. The research will collect data to see if this clinical intervention is feasible and allow audit of the clinical intervention. This will also enable the researchers to understand patients lived experiences of accessing allergy care and the effect of allergy on quality of life and impact of allergy care.
The purpose of this study is to determine 1. vaccination coverage of recommended vaccines (routine childhood vaccines and vaccines against seasonal flu and pneumococci) in children with chronic diseases (allergy, cystic fibrosis, diabetes mellitus type 1, congenital heart disease, immunocompromised and solid organ transplant patients) 2. the level of protection against measles, mumps, rubella and pertussis in children with chronic diseases. 3. vaccination coverage of recommended vaccines (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and vaccines against seasonal flu and pneumococci) in adults with chronic diseases (nephropathy, diabetes mellitus, COPD, heart failure, HIV and solid organ transplant patients) 4. the level of protection against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis in adults with chronic diseases.
This study aims to profile the siderophore-content in the human gut from allergic and non-allergic subjects and to assess their contribution in iron homeostasis.
This is a single-blind randomized controlled trial, aiming to evaluate the effects of vaginal seeding on body mass index as well as allergy risk for cesarean-delivered infants. It will be conducted in Liuyang city of China, and the targeted sample size is 106. All the eligible pregnant women will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group, and their babies of the participants will be followed up to 24 months of age.
