Filter by:Cow's Milk Allergy (CMA) affects between 2-3% of young children but its severity varies between regions/countries. While the long-term prognosis for CMA is good, with the majority (80-90%) of children outgrowing their allergy by around 3-5 years. Breast feeding is the most optimal form of feeding for all infants, regardless of their condition, and in those with CMA maternal dairy exclusion is recommended as first line treatment. In non-breast fed or mixed feeding, a hypoallergenic milk substitute is recommended for young infants. The AAP and other societies such as EAACI and ESPGHAN considers a formula to be 'hypoallergenic' if at least 90% of children with documented CMA tolerate it, with a 95% CI, under double-blind, placebo-controlled conditions.This equates to at least 29 children who should tolerate the product following blind and open challenge.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate use of a mobile application (also commonly referred to as an app) designed to support caregivers of children with newly diagnosed food allergy. This study has 2 phases. In Phase 1, the researchers obtained feedback regarding use of mobile apps from caregivers who have been managing their child's food allergy for one year or more. The researchers then used this feedback to build a mobile app for caregivers of children with newly diagnosed food allergy. In Phase 2, the researchers will evaluate the mobile app during a 4-week evaluation period with a group of caregivers of children newly diagnosed with food allergy. The data obtained from this study will hopefully benefit caregivers of children with newly diagnosed food allergy.
This project consists of a psychological intervention in patients and their families with different chronic diseases in order to carry out a comparative study between medical pathologies to know which are the protective or risk variables for the adaptation to the disease.
Among children with a food allergy, strict avoidance (e.g., elimination of allergenic foods from one's diet) is the only intervention capable of preventing potentially devastating health-related sequelae including anaphylaxis and death. Youths from low-income backgrounds are particularly impacted by food allergies and may be the population most apt to benefit from a brief, portable, and engaging skills-based intervention designed to teach young children the skills needed to remain adherent to food allergy safety guidelines. Data collected as part of the proposed project will lay the groundwork for a line of federally-funded intervention research broadly examining how to promote adherence to food allergy safety guidelines among young children from low-income backgrounds through implementation of a robust, efficient, and portable intervention.
Orality disorders are frequent in child. There are complications like growth and psychomotor development disorders. The aim is to estimate the prevalence of orality disorder for child with one or several food allergy.
The objective of this study is to examine how infant egg consumption (age of introduction and frequency of intake) influences physical growth, obesity, cardio-metabolic health, risk of food allergy, and cognition development in mid-childhood and adolescence.
This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, single-masked (blinded), post-marketing clinical study of a drug Lactobacillus Reuteri NCIMB 30351 drops in functional disorders of gastrointestinal tract and skin symptoms of food allergies in children between the ages of one and four months inclusive. The aim of the study is to assess clinical effects of probiotics Lactobacillus Reuteri NCIMB 30351 drops on the symptoms of infantile colic, constipation, diarrhea, gastroesophageal reflux, atopic dermatitis/eczema in full-term newborns during the first months of life, laboratory parameters of microbiome will also be assessed. A prospective study comparing two treatment groups: Group 1 (treatment group) - 60 infants. Group 2 (control group) - 30 infants, placebo. The study drug will be taken in 1 time per day within 25 days. Allowed symptomatic therapy includes defoamers (simethicone-based preparations), carminative preparations (dill water (fennel)), etc.
Birth cohort study with recruitment during pregnancy to determine prenatal and perinatal conditions, as well as genetic and epigenetic factors, that participate in the early setting of immune responses, and the role of these in the later determination of the risk of allergic diseases, asthma, and metabolic conditions in the offspring.
Food allergy is a common disease in childhood affecting up to 8% of children in Westernized countries. About 30 percent of children with food allergies are allergic to more than one food, most often milk, egg, wheat, peanut and tree nut. Peanut and hazelnut are common triggers of severe and potentially fatal food-induced anaphylactic reactions. Currently, there is no curative treatment for food allergy. Novel therapies for this potentially life-threatening condition are therefore much needed.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether allowing ingestion of sub-threshold amounts of peanut in those with a high threshold (tolerate at least 143 mg peanut protein on supervised double-blind, placebo-controlled oral food challenge [DBPCFC]) will be associated with attaining even higher thresholds over time in children with high threshold peanut allergy compared to those avoiding peanut. The secondary clinical objectives include assessing the development of sustained unresponsiveness (SU, a surrogate term for tolerance without daily ingestion), effects on quality of life, and safety compared to those avoiding peanut. Additionally, this study will phenotype the allergic response to peanut based on threshold and response to exposure. Mechanistic study objectives will determine the immune and molecular basis of the high threshold endotype, identify predictors of response to exposure, and determine mechanisms and biomarkers of remission.
