Summary: The study found that longer breastfeeding reduced the risk of wheeze and showed a protective trend against allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (ARC) in early childhood. However, there were no conclusive associations between the duration of breastfeeding or age at introduction to complementary foods and the prevention of asthma and eczema.

Summary: This study found that introducing solid food around 6 months of age is recommended. The incidence of eczema and wheezing is associated with the timing of introduction to infant cereal, family history of asthma, and breastfeeding duration.

Summary: This meta-analysis found that maternal fish consumption during pregnancy is associated with a lower risk of wheeze, eczema, and food allergy in children. However, there is no significant association between maternal fish consumption and the risk of offspring's asthma, allergic rhinitis, and inhalant allergy.

Summary: The study found that longer duration of breastfeeding was associated with a reduced odds of asthma among children without eczema in the first year of life, but not in children with eczema. Early manifestations of allergic disease may impact breastfeeding behavior.

Summary: Breastfeeding is a natural mode of nutrition that has beneficial effects on both the neonatal period and lifelong health. However, there is limited data on its protective effect against allergies. This review explores various factors that can modify the impact of breastfeeding, such as exposure to cow milk, supplement use, introduction of solid foods, microbiota changes, and the epigenetic function of breastfeeding.

Summary: The study found significant correlations between milk/maternal serum concentration ratio and infant/maternal serum concentration ratio. Valproic acid concentrations in milk and infant serum did not reach the lower limit of the reference range for the general epileptic population, indicating that routine monitoring of serum concentrations of breastfed infants is not necessary.

Summary: Studies suggest that early-life exposure to toxic metals and fluoride may affect the immune system and contribute to allergic diseases. This study investigated the relationship between exposure to these compounds in pregnant women and their infants with food allergy and atopic eczema. The results showed that gestational cadmium exposure was associated with an increased risk of food allergy in infants, while gestational and infant fluoride exposure had a weak association with atopic eczema. Further research is needed to establish causality.

Summary: Asian children in Australia had a higher prevalence of food allergy and early-onset eczema compared to those in Singapore. The presence of early-onset eczema was associated with an increased risk of food allergy in both countries. Further research with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm and expand on these findings.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the impact of maternal adherence to the Mediterranean Diet on offspring allergic disorders, as well as other factors such as maternal weight gain, pregnancy complications, and gut microbiome features. The study protocol has been approved and will be conducted in accordance with ethical standards.

Summary: For children at high risk of food allergies, early introduction of allergenic foods such as peanuts and eggs is recommended to minimize the risk of developing food allergies. Additional studies are needed to determine the generalizability of this approach in low-risk populations.

Summary: This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the relationship between environmental determinants and the risk of developing atopic dermatitis (AD) in the first four years of a child's life, including individual microbiome and immune responses. Through clinical research and biochemical analysis, the researchers hope to identify different risk factors for AD onset and exacerbation, as well as relevant biomarkers.

Summary: Artificial intelligence shows great potential in healthcare, particularly in pediatric allergy research. AI methods can help differentiate the heterogeneity of allergic diseases among patients, improve data quality, and provide new perspectives for diagnostic frameworks.

Summary: Regular moisturization of infant skin may promote the development of food allergy through transcutaneous sensitization, especially in the presence of eczema. This study found a dose-response relationship between moisturizer frequency and the subsequent development of food allergy, supporting the notion that moisturizer application may impact allergic outcomes.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of pollen exposure on food allergy and eczema flares. The study found that increasing grass pollen concentration was associated with an increased risk of food allergy and eczema flares in children.
