The Role of Bifidobacterium Intervention in Food Allergic Infants
Infant food protein allergy is the most common allergic disease in children, which can lead to infantile-specific dermatitis, intestinal inflammation, and so on. Dietary avoidance is a common strategy for food protein allergy in infants and young children. However, the hidden etiology of food protein allergy or multiple food allergies often leads to poor efficacy. The aim of this study is to observe the clinical effectiveness of Bifidobacterium intervention on food allergy.

The Role of Filaggrin Mutations and Sensitization Pathways in Allergic Rhinitis and Peanut Allergy
Caucasian male and female participants age 18 years of age and older will be enrolled in this study if they have known birch or peanut allergies or known to be non-atopic. Participants will undergo skin testing to confirm their allergies if not completed in the last 12 months. Medications and medical history will be captured with a focus on atopic disorders. Participants will undergo birch and peanut patch testing to assess penetration and if potential correlation exists with filaggrin genotyping and phenotyping. Blood samples will be drawn from participants and DNA isolated for genotyping of null mutations in filaggrin.

The UFIM (Ultraprocessed Foods In Breast Milk) Project
In last decades, a change in dietary habits has been observed in industrialized countries characterized by a drastic increase in the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF, Ultra-Processed Foods). As defined by the NOVA classification, UPFs are industrial formulations of food substances added with colourings, flavourings, emulsifiers, thickeners and other additives. Among the main compounds of UPFs are the advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Increasing evidence suggests an association between dietary exposure to AGEs and the development of chronic non-communicable diseases, such as obesity and allergies, in the general...

Tolerability of Goat Milk Protein in Eosinophilic Esophagitis Patients With Cow Milk Protein Trigger
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune mediated disease characterized by eosinophilic infiltration in esophageal epithelium and resulting in esophageal dysfunction. While the exact pathogenesis is yet to be elucidated, EoE is considered an atopic disease. This classification is in part due to the inflammatory infiltrate of eosinophils, basophils and T-cells producing Th2 cytokines, yet it may also be triggered by environmental allergens. In addition, the rates of atopy are approximately 3 times higher in patients with EoE than in the general population. Furthermore, and most convincing, EoE is successfully managed with ...

Tolerance in Beekeepers
Beekeepers experience multiple bee stings each year. Many of these beekeepers (25-60%) become sensitized to bee venom through the production of specific antibodies that target the bee venom. Although these antibodies are important in the triggering of an allergic reaction only a small number of sensitised beekeepers go on to have an allergic reaction with symptoms away from the site of the sting. These reactions can be severe and are known as anaphylactic reactions. The study investigates why some beekeepers develop severe allergic symptoms after bee stings while others do not. This study will explore factors in the blood...

Tolerance of Extensive Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Milk Among Infant With Mild to Moderate CMPA
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the tolerance, safety and efficacy of Nutribaby Royal Pepti Junior (NR Pepti) among infants with mild to moderate Cow's Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is NR Pepti tolerable among infants with mild to moderate CMPA? 2. Is NR Pepti safe and effective among infants with mild to moderate CMPA? Participants will be asked to use NR Pepti as part their management of mild to moderate CMPA

TRANS-FOODS: Preventing Peanut Allergy Through Improved Understanding of the Transcutaneous Sensitisation Route, Novel Food Processing and Skin Care Adaptations
This project aims to study the immune responses to peanut allergen in those with a skin barrier defect with and without skin massage, specifically it aims to: 1. Establish if peanut allergen components can pass into human skin through regular massage using the peanut protein-containing extract. 2. Clarify whether this effect is amplified in those with an impaired skin barrier (AD and dry skin vs healthy controls). 3. Assess whether peanut protein components can be detected in interstitial skin fluid (ISF) using a suction device. 4. Test whether peanut protein components present in ISF are able to...
