How asthma and allergy symptoms are triggered
2008-01-21 09:51:00 In demonstrating that a group of calcium ion channels play a crucial role in triggering inflammatory responses, researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have not only solved a longstanding molecular mystery regarding the onset of asthma and allergy symptoms, but have also provided a fundamental discovery regarding the functioning of mast cells. Their findings appear in the January 2008 issue of Nature Immunology. A group of immune cells found in tissues throughout the body, mast cells were once exclusively known for their role in allergic reactions, according to the study's lead author Monika Vig, PhD, an investigator in the Department of Pathology at BIDMC and Instructor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. "Mast cells store inflammatory cytokines and compounds [including histamine and heparin] in sacs called granules," she explains. "When the mast cells encounter an allergen - pollen, for example - they 'degranuate,' releasing their... More About: News , Asthma , Symptoms
Vital: Most Kids Outgrow Their Allergy To Milk
2008-01-21 09:51:00 ALLERGIES to cow's milk are, in most cases, a childhood condition with around two per cent of British infants and children affected. Most people usually grow out of it - just 0.1-0.5 per cent of the UK population continue with the allergy in adulthood. Often goat and sheep milk can act as an substitute. However, the proteins within these and soya milk can sometimes cause a negative reaction - if you suffer from this, consult your GP. Lactose intolerance is entirely separate from cow's milk allergy. It happens when the body's natural enzyme lactase is in short supply to digest milk sugar. Some unpleasant symptoms can include constipation, cramps, bloating, flatulence and diarrhoea. In comparison, cow's milk allergy is caused by a reaction to milk proteins, which in rare cases can lead to an anaphylactic shock. Still, taking milk and dairy products out of your diet may lead to food deficiencies. These contain calcium, magnesium, protein, phosphorous, vitamin B... More About: News , Kids , Milk , Vital
Parents blame toothpaste for allergy death
2008-01-21 09:51:00 BLACKBURN, England, Jan. 18 A British couple said their daughter died from a severe allergic reaction to toothpaste, although a coroner's inquest ended with an open verdict.Francesca Sanna's parents, who live in Oswaldtwistle, England, say that she had complained for some days before her death that her gums hurt, The Daily Mail reported. She went into anaphylactic shock just after brushing her teeth. Coroner Carolyn Singleton refused to blame the toothpaste, saying only that Sanna, 19, died from shock and an allergic reaction."She must have come into contact with or ingested something that caused her death," Singleton said. "She was a young lady who was very careful, she knew what she could and could not touch." Sanna's mother said after the verdict that she thinks the Aquafresh toothpaste, which has redesigned packaging, might have added something that triggered the reaction. A spokeswoman for the manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline, said the formula has n... More About: News , Death , Parents , Toothpaste , Blame

Food Allergy Study Treats Kids With Allergen Proteins
More articles from this author:2008-01-21 09:51:00 BALTIMORE -- A new study at Johns Hopkins Children's Center shows that treatment is possible for children with food allergies and that the problem could one day be eliminated altogether. The study involved treating children with milk allergies not with medicine, but with the proteins to which they're allergic in order to build a tolerance. Dr. Robert Wood said that more children are suffering from food allergies than ever before and they're lasting much longer. He said that instead of disappearing by age 5, the allergies are lasting into the teens and sometimes early 20s, increasing the chances of accidental exposure. Wood said that over the last year and a half, results of the study have been amazing. He said that several of the children who previously weren't able to have milk at all can currently tolerate certain amounts. To find out more about food allergies in children, visit kidshealth.org.
