SHARED Study (Saguenay Hospitals Anaphylaxis Rule for Early Discharge)
Anaphylaxis is a potentially fatal condition with a prevalence between 0.05 and 2% in the general population. This is therefore a frequent reason for emergency visits. Its diagnosis is mainly based on the NIAID / FAAN2 criteria, developed in 2006. The treatment of the condition consists of administration of intramuscular (or intravenous) epinephrine and the hemodynamic support of the patient, if necessary. Various other agents are frequently administered (class I and II antihistamines, corticosteroids) but their role is recognized to be less central than that of epinephrine. The relevance of corticosteroids in reducing the risk of...

Skin Barrier Assessment in Pregnancy and at Birth
This is a prospective birth cohort study assessing the role of maternal and environmental factors on the development of allergic diseases in children. Pregnant mothers will be enrolled and we will examine her skin barrier with skin tape strips (STS) and transepidermal water loss (TEWL), along with blood work. We will then follow her offspring and perform similar testing, along with detailed questionnaires inquiring about exposures such as use of detergents and soaps, sunlight exposure, and pollution exposure. When the infant is around 12 months old, we will contact the family via telephone to see if the child developed any allergic...

Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Dupilumab in Pediatric Patients With Active Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)
The Primary objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab treatment compared with placebo in pediatric patients with active eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) based on histologic improvement meeting validated histologic criteria. The Secondary objectives are: - To demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab compared to placebo in pediatric patients with active EoE after 16 weeks of treatment as assessed by endoscopic visual measurements of disease activity using the Eosinophilic Esophagitis-Endoscopic Reference Score (EoE-EREFS) and histologic abnormalities as measured by the EoE Histology Scoring System ...

Swallowing Characteristics of Pediatric Patients With Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) can affect patients all age group and clinical symptoms of the disease varies depending on the patient's ages. Infants and toddlers with EoE generally have food refusal, vomiting and poor weight gain. Older school-aged children and adolescents may have abdominal and chest pain, difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia) especially in solid foods. In the meantime, many children especially infants and toddlers, are not perceptive of their dysphagia, because they have the ability to compensate. Such as, avoiding certain textures or increases liquid intake in the meal.To date, to our knowledge, there is no study ...

Swedish Study of Immunotherapy for Milk Allergy in Children
This trial is a two-armed open randomized controlled trial in children aged 5-15 years with challenge proven Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-associated milk allergy.The purpose is to determine if oral immunotherapy with milk can induce tolerance to milk. The active intervention is intake of increasing amounts of fresh milk for six months followed by three years of maintenance treatment with milk. The control group continues their elimination (milk free) diet. The trial will recruit patients at ten pediatric departments in Sweden, coordinated by Umeå University. The primary outcome is milk tolerance (defined as a negative double-blind ...

Synbiotic Extensively Hydrolysed Feed Study
This study of the tolerance and acceptability of a extensively hydrolysed formula (eHF) containing pre- and probiotics will assess gastrointestinal (GI) tolerance, product intake and acceptability in 40 infants (aged <13 months) currently using or requiring an extensively hydrolysed formula for the dietary management of CMA. Patients already prescribed an eHF (or other appropriate feed for CMA) at time of recruitment will undertake a 3 day baseline period in which their current symptoms, compliance, GI tolerance and acceptability towards their current feed is assessed, before introducing the study product for a period of 4 weeks. ...
