Sustained Unresponsiveness (SU) to Sesame Protein Following Low-dose Oral Allergen-specific Immunotherapy
This study is a long-term follow-up of participants from the randomized controlled trial (RCT) "Efficacy and Safety of Low-Dose Sesame Oral Immunotherapy in Pediatric Patients", NCT06261554. At the end of the original RCT all participants will undergo an open Oral Food Challenge (OFC) to assess desensitization after 3 months on the maintenance dose of OIT. Patients who have completed the first part of the study will be invited to the current part of the project: - First arm (initial experimental group) - patients will continue oral immunotherapy (OIT) with low dose of sesame protein (300mg) for the next 8 months (+/- 3 weeks). - Second arm (initial control group -...

The Esophageal String Test as a Diagnostic Screening Tool for Eosinophilic Esophagitis Among Africans With Dysphagia in Mali and the United States
Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a disease that causes inflammation in the esophagus. The esophagus is the tube that moves food from the mouth to the stomach. Diagnosing EoE currently requires a specialized tool called an endoscope. The esophageal string test (EST) is another test; the EST collects fluid from the upper digestive tract. An EST is simpler and cheaper than an endoscopy. Researchers want to know if an EST can diagnose EoE. Objective: To test if the EST can diagnose EoE in people who have trouble swallowing. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 to 65 years with trouble swallowing. They must have been born in Africa and be of African...

Trans-Cervical and Trans-abdominal Ultrasound for Monitoring Esophageal Thickness in Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal mucosa, leading to symptoms of dysphagia and food impaction. Currently, upper endoscopy with biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis and disease monitoring, but it is invasive, costly, and associated with procedural risks. The investigators want to use ultrasound imaging as a non-invasive assessment of esophageal wall thickness as a surrogate marker for mucosal inflammation. Participants will undergo ultrasound assessment at the same day of endoscopy, and than after 3-6 months (optional). The correlation between US-measured esophageal thickness...

Validation Of A Parent Administered Symptom Score For Unsettled Infants (Every Baby is UnIQue)
It's common for infants to be unsettled, especially in the first few months of life. While this is often normal, persistent symptoms can be stressful for families. Parents naturally seek explanations, and common suspected causes include colic, reflux, eczema, and cow's milk allergy (CMA). However, CMA is frequently over diagnosed, which can lead to unnecessary changes such as stopping breastfeeding or switching to expensive specialist formulas. To address this, we've developed an online questionnaire to help track and understand symptoms in unsettled infants. Our long-term goal is to use this tool to support more accurate diagnosis of CMA. Before that, we need to test and...

Impact of Zinc as a New Adjuvant Therapy for Cow Milk Protein Allergy in Children.
Children presented with manifestations of Cow Milk Protein Allergy will be enrolled for Cow Milk -related Symptoms Score (CoMiSS assessment). Detailed History, nutritional and clinical examination will be done to fulfill items of CoMiSS. Children will be randomly allocated to two groups. Oral Zinc will be supplemented to the interventional group. CoMiSS will be recorded at the baseline and weekly till 4 weeks. Then Oral Food Challenge (OFC) will be done to confirm the diagnosis and CoMiSS assessment will be recorded again to see if Zinc has any modulatory effect on reappearance of symptoms. The people administering the intervention, the people assessing the outcomes, the patients...
