Modification by sex and atopy of the effect of chemical air pollutions and biological air pollutants including pollen and fungal spores on children respiratory health in the Western Cape, Cape South Africa
… was evidence of effect modification by sex and atopy since associations were much stronger among boys and atopic children. Annual NO2 levels were positively associated with FeNO>35ppb among boys (OR:2.77, 95% CI: 1.02-7.47) but not girls. A strong positive association was also observed between …

Salmon in Pregnancy Study (SIPS): the effects of increased oily fish consumption on maternal nutrient intake, fatty acid status and immunity
… fish intake during pregnancy with lower risk of atopy in the offspring. Oily fish provide the long chain (LC) n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), as well as vitamin D and antioxidants (selenium). Fish oil provides EPA and DHA and fish …

Salmon In Pregnancy Study (SIPS): the effects of increased oily fish intake during pregnancy on maternal and cord blood fatty acid composition, cord blood immunity and atopy outcomes in infants at 6 months of age
… in many inflammatory diseases including atopy over the last 40 years suggest that common environmental changes may be promoting inflammatory immune responses. Modern diets have become increasingly rich in n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and relatively deficient in n-3 PUFAs. These …

Determinants of Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) levels in occupational asthma in different occupational settings
… used the modified ECRHS questionnaire, assessed atopy using Phadiatop, allergen specific sensitization (sIgE) and NIOX MINO.

Paediatric asthma and wheeze: early life origins
… was associated with an increased risk of atopy and atopic wheeze at age 3 years, and greater weight and adiposity gain in the first year of life were associated with increased risk of wheeze. In those children seen at 6 years, greater maternal adiposity, before and during pregnancy, was …

Maternal Immune Markers In Serum During Late Gestation and In Breast Milk and the Risk of Asthma-Like Symptoms At Ages 6 and 12 Months: A Longitudinal Study
… (FAs) in colostrum and breast milk with AS and atopy. A second goal is to conduct cluster analyses to obtain different immune marker profiles in serum and in whey in order to estimate the risk of these immune clusters for AS in infancy.</p> <p>Methods: Pregnant women were recruited in Columbia …

The relationship between immunization and food allergy and sensitisation in South African children
… the relationship between immunisation and atopy. Multivariate analysis was utilised to adjust for potential confounders. Food sensitisation and food allergy were determined through skin prick tests (SPT) and oral food challenges respectively. The results indicate that, the number of …

Polymorphisms of High-affinity IgE Receptor Genes in Patients with Aspirin-Intolerant Chronic Urticaria
… aspirin-intolerant chronic urticaria (AICU). Atopy was reported a risk factor for a patient with AICU and approximately 40% of patients with chronic urticaria have autoimmune urticaria. The high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcεRI) expressed on mast cells and basophils plays a critical role in …

Predictors of obstructive lung disease among seafood processing workers along the west coast of the Western Cape of South Africa
… COPD) and associated risk factors (age, gender, atopy, smoking history, allergic history, previous history of lung disease, occupational exposures, seafood intake) in a working population of seafood processing workers along the West coast of the Western Cape of South Africa. Materials and method: …

Genetic Polymorphism of Prostanoid Receptors, CRTH2 and TBXA2R in Aspirin Hypersensitivity
… previous association of TBXA2R with asthma and atopy, we investigated whether genetic polymorphisms of the TBXA2R gene are associated with AIAU phenotype through a case-control of three study subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The three studies groups 107 patients with AIA, 115 patients with ATA, …

Genetic and environmental influences on cord blood atopic markers and on atopic sensitisation in infancy
… is reflective of a high genetic load for atopy in these Black newborns, and furthermore whether these Black newborns are consequently "high-risk" for the development of subsequent atopic disease, as has been previously reported in the literature for White newborns. Arising from an …

THE ROLE OF THE IL4/13 PATHWAY IN THE GENETICS OF ASTHMA SEVERITY

The epidemiology of asthma and wheeze in primary school children in Mitchell's Plain, Cape Town, with special reference to the role of environmental tobacco smoke
… in South Africa, as inferred from allergen and atopy studies, clinical series, and studies of prevalence and mortality. The second addressed the international literature on whether environmental tobacco smoke is associated with asthma, wheeze or bronchial hyperresponsiveness in general and …

The Pathophysiology of Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Altered Mechanisms of Antigen Detection in the Esophagus
… with EoE and especially those with a history of atopy. Mechanisms of antigen detection may mediate the pathophysiology of EoE in the esophagus through antigen presentation by epithelial cells, detection by TLRs on immune cells and detection through IgE on mucosal mast cells. Together, these …

Exhaled nitric oxide in asthmatic airway inflammation
… compare this range with those who have asthma or atopy. The second study was observational, to compare the level of eNO during and after an exacerbation of asthma. The third study was an interventional study to evaluate eNO in management of paediatric asthma. In this latter study the level of eNO …

Improving the dietary management of orofacial granulomatosis
… highest sources, some dietary exposure remains. Atopy rates are high in patients with OFG and a recent study identified a high rate of pollen sensitisation to pollens associated with oral allergy syndrome (OAS). OAS is an allergic disorder manifesting immediate lip swelling readily resolved by …

Atopic Myelitis : An Emerging Cause of Myelitis in Korea
BACKGROUND: HyperIgEemia and atopy has recently been reported to be related with various neurological diseases such as Hirayama disease and idiopathic myelitis. We aimed to determine frequency of atophy or hyperIgEemia in idiopathic myelitis in Korea and to characterize the clinic-laboratory and …
