Expecting Mother's Study of Consumption or Avoidance of Peanut and Egg
Peanut allergy is the most common cause of fatal and near-fatal food-allergic reactions and egg allergy is among the two most common causes of food-induced anaphylaxis. The proposed research will explore the development of sensitization to these food(s) in infants based on maternal consumption or avoidance during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Genetic Carbohydrate Maldigestion As Model to Study Food Hypersensitivity Mechanism (WORK PACKAGE 2)
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects one in seven people with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms that are detected without an established underlying organic cause. IBS strongly impacts quality of life, is a leading cause of work absenteeism, and consumes 0.5% of the healthcare annual budget. It manifests in women more than men with symptoms including abdominal pain, bloating, constipation (IBS-C), diarrhoea (IBS-D), and mixed presentations (IBS-M). The development of therapeutic options is hampered by the heterogeneity of IBS, the lack of specificity of its symptom-based definitions, and the poor understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Many people with IBS...

Infant Food Allergen Oral Immunotherapy
The aim is to study whether a multiallergen oral immunotherapy (OIT) strategy with slow up-dosing and low treatment dose against food allergy in young children (0.5-3 years) is safe and effective, a method to cure food allergy and to prevent the development of new food allergies. Clinical randomized controlled (1:1) blinded interventional trial (RCT) with 2 intervention arms (group A and B). Among 80 children reacting at the multiallergen food challenge, 40 children will be randomized to receive OIT (oral immunotherapy) with multiallergen powder with a final dose of approximately 200 mg protein of each included food (egg, milk, soy, wheat, walnut, peanut, hazelnut, cashew,...

LYell SYndrome MEsenchymal Stromal Cells Treatment
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) to drugs. To date, no curative drug has demonstrated with a good level of evidence its ability to promote SJS and TEN healing and could contribute to earlier reepithelialisation. Mesenchymal stroma cells (MSCs) therapy represents a new therapeutic approach. eg, in patients with cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases, renal transplantation, lung diseases as acute respiratory distress syndrome. Recently, MSCs have been proposed in both burn wound healing with a significantly decrease of the unhealed burn area and in cutaneous radiation. Moreover,...

Microbial Study of Sublingual Immunotherapy Spray in Patients With Allergic Rhinitis
The incidence of allergic rhinitis (AR) in Chinese adults was reported to be as high as 24.1% and 16.8% in children. The current symptomatic treatment has the disadvantage of poor efficacy and cannot change the natural course of the disease. Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is the only causative treatment approved by the WHO, bringing a new option to patients with allergic diseases. The quality of allergen preparations is critical to the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, emphasizing the need for standardized preparations, and AIT treatment in the early stages of the disease may change the long-term progression of the disease. Recent studies have reported that the microbiome...

Monocentric Retrospective Observational Study for Validation of Meta-analysis of the Metatrascryptome and Transcriptome of Eosynophyl Esophagitis
This is a retrospective monocentric observational study involving patients with Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and controls (patients without EoE and GERD). To validate the EoE-related markers obtained with the EoE TaMMA web app (such as CCL26, TBX5, NOX4, FGF7, CXCL14, ADAMTS5, PDGFRA, CXCL12, ACVRL1, POSTN, and LTBP4), we will stain and analyze EoE, GERD, and controls Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples already stored in the pathological laboratory of OSR. For this reason, this project will be accomplished thanks to the collaboration with prof. Doglioni's team at OSR.

NOVAPAK Nasal Packing in Shellfish Allergic Patients
NOVAPAK is a sponge-like material made from materials found in shellfish. It is commonly used after nasal surgery or in nasal bleeding, as it promotes healing, decreases bleeding, and has antibacterial properties. Although NOVOPAK does not contain proteins or compounds known to be responsible for allergic reactions in people with a known allergy to shellfish, out of an abundance of caution, the manufacturer (Medtronic) has recommended avoidance in those with known shellfish allergy. There have been no reported allergic reactions in patients with shellfish allergy who were given chitosan bandages in emergencies (e.g. military applications). The study aims to investigate the safety...
