Filter by:Preventing food allergic reactions predominantly relies on allergen avoidance and managing this daily causes high anxiety in some patients, while having an allergic reaction can cause a post-traumatic stress disorder-like syndrome in children. The underlying mechanisms of these psychological changes are poorly understood, but one potential mechanism may be post-natal hippocampal neurogenesis (HN). HN is the production of new neurons from stem cells in the hippocampus which is one of the brain centres for memory and mood regulation. HN has been associated with cognitive function and some psychiatric disorders. Importantly, it can be influenced by both internal (bloodstream) and external (exercise, diet, etc.) factors. This study will explore the link between food allergy and children's mental health and cognition, and to determine whether this is linked to changes in HN.
Since the prevalence of adverse reactions to foodstuffs (ARFS) has been steadily increasing and has become an alarming health concern, the general objective of this study is to analyze the prevalence of ARFS in Spanish adults of different physical condition.
There are a lot of parents who believe that their child may not tolerate cow's milk because they develop symptoms such as redness of the skin or they may vomit. It is not always easy to find out if these infants should indeed avoid drinking cow's milk or that the symptoms are caused by something else, for instance because they have a viral illness. The goal of the investigators is to find out if cow's milk should be introduced in the hospital or if it can also be advised to perform the introduction at home to determine if an infant can drink cow's milk without developing symptoms. Half of the participants will drink cow's milk in the hospital. This test is performed on two days. On one of the days cow's milk will be offered. On the other day a look-alike substance is offered. The other half of the participants will drink cow's milk at home by starting to drink a little bit of milk and in a few steps drink a normal bottle of cow's milk. The main question is whether both tests can be used to find out if an infant can drink cow's milk without developing symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to investigate differences of the bowel wall thickness visible in conventional ultrasound and bowel perfusion using quantitative Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in patients with Crohn´s disease in comparison with healthy controls and patients with food allergy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about oral immunotherapy in food allergic children < 30 months of age. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the clinical- and cost-effectiveness of early low-dose oral immunotherapy aimed at long-term tolerance induction. Participants will receive oral immunotherapy for 1 year with a maintenance dose of 300 mg allergenic protein and are compared with food allergic infants not receiving oral immunotherapy to compare with natural tolerance development.
The objectives of this study are (i) to evaluate the efficacy of oral immunotherapy to pistachio by evaluating the daily oral tolerance of 2g pistachio, by evaluating the long-term tolerance of 15g pistachio (sustained unresponsiveness) and by decreasing pistachio-specific IgE, (ii) evaluating the efficacy of pistachio immunotherapy on cashew tolerance, (iii) and to evaluate the safety of pistachio immunotherapy.
This is a phase II randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial that aims at evaluating the safety and tolerability of oral encapsulated fecal microbial transplantation therapy (MTT) in peanut allergic patients. In this research the investigators would like to learn more about ways to treat peanut allergies. The primary objective is to evaluate whether MTT with antibiotic pretreatment can increase the threshold of peanut reactivity during a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge from <=100 mg peanut protein to 300 mg after 28 days of MTT /placebo therapy and 4 months post therapy initiation.
This is an extension study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of ligelizumab in particiants who have completed a ligelizumab Phase III study in food allergy.
The aim of the study is to assess the prevalence of peanut, tree nuts, and sesame allergy in Polish children at high risk of food allergy. Additionally, the timing of the development of peanut, tree nuts and sesame allergy in the first three years of life in a high-risk population will be assessed.
Tree nut immunotherapy Route Assessment and DEvelopment (TRADE) is a randomized controlled trial that evaluates the efficacy and safety of sublingual immunotherapy and lower, more tolerable, doses of oral immunotherapy than currently in use.
