Summary: This study evaluated the association between medical conditions and environmental exposures with fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) as a marker of airway inflammation. The results showed that rhinitis and wheeze were associated with elevated FeNO, and smoke from waste burning and para-occupational pesticide exposure may contribute to the increase of FeNO in rural communities.

Summary: Allergic rhinitis is a globally important disease that affects children and adults, causing significant social and economic effects. It is characterized by identifiable symptoms and accompanying indicators. Diagnosis relies on clinical indicators, historical records, and risk factors, supported by abnormal laboratory findings. Treatment includes allergen exposure prevention, drug therapy, and immunotherapy.

Summary: Several studies have investigated the association between residential greenness and childhood asthma and allergic rhinitis, but there is inconsistent evidence. This study aimed to provide up-to-date evidence by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis. The findings suggest that residential greenness is negatively associated with childhood asthma within 100m of residence, but not significantly associated within 500m. In addition, greenness within 500m is positively associated with allergic rhinitis in 6-8 years old children, but not significantly associated in 9-12 years old children.

Summary: This study investigates whether the prevention and treatment of allergic rhinitis and asthma can be achieved through administration of pro-, pre- and/or synbiotics, with disappointing outcomes in infant clinical studies likely due to multiple confounding factors.

Summary: We investigated the risk factors for allergic conjunctivitis in Chinese children. Through questionnaire, eye examinations, and skin prick tests, we found that parental allergic history and concomitant diseases were associated with a higher likelihood of AC in children.

Summary: The prevalence of fungal allergy is increasing in Spain, with Alternaria alternata sensitization being the most common among fungal allergic patients. Additionally, the majority of patients sensitized to Alternaria alternata are also polysensitized to other allergens.

Summary: The concept of atopy was developed in the early 20th century based on clinical observations without knowledge of pathogenic mechanisms. It involves a collection of comorbidities that share pathogenic features, and understanding the relationships between these conditions is crucial for improving patient care. Specialized in Allergy and Immunology focus on managing the comorbidities of atopy, and better understanding their connections can enhance patient care.

Summary: In children with allergic respiratory diseases, there is moderate agreement in SPT response between house dust mite and cockroach, as well as dog and cat allergens. This may be due to cross-reactivity, suggesting the need for component-resolved diagnosis in cases of co-sensitization to these allergen pairs.

Summary: This study in Turkey found that during the COVID-19 lockdown, children with house dust mite-sensitized asthma experienced improvements in respiratory symptoms due to reduced respiratory tract infections and outdoor pollution. However, nasal symptoms worsened in allergic rhinitis patients with house dust mite-sensitized asthma during this period.

Summary: The prevalence of asthma and allergies among children and adolescents has been increasing in the past few decades. A study analyzing data from 2014 to 2018 found that over 40% of respondents reported allergic symptoms, with nearly 50% of them not diagnosed or treated. However, there has been a reduction in the frequency of asthma and allergic rhinitis cases, indicating a positive effect on preventive measures taken in Krakow since 2010.

Summary: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common inflammatory condition in the upper airways, particularly in children. It has a potential impact on quality of life, sleep, and daily performance, which are important in the long term. This review provides an updated overview of AR epidemiology, diagnosis, and its connection with bronchial asthma. AR is a significant risk factor for asthma onset and plays a crucial role in asthma control in pediatric population. Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is a precision medicine approach that can improve AR and bronchial asthma control, and prevent the progression of allergic diseases. Evaluating the eligibility for AIT should be a priority for physicians managing children with AR, especially when combined with bronchial asthma.

Summary: The study found a significant correlation between objective indicators of nasal obstruction and airflow limitation in children with bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis, especially more pronounced in boys than in girls. Further investigation is needed to explore the gender differences in this relationship.

Summary: This study collected 33 honey samples from Kastamonu Province, Turkey, between 2017 and 2018 to characterize the palynological and physico-chemical properties. Melissopalynological analysis revealed 49 taxa in the honey samples, including Castanea sativa, Apiaceae, Asteraceae, Amaranthaceae, Boraginaceae, Brassicaceae, Fabaceae, and Lamiaceae. The physicochemical properties varied, with moisture ratio ranging from 11.9% to 18.9%, fructose + glucose values between 35.84 and 84.1 g/100 g, HMF content between 0.38 and 21.31 ppm, and total phenolic content between 39.6 and 138.8 mg GAE/100 g. GC-MS analysis identified various compounds in the samples, including aldehydes, aliphatic acids, alcohols, hydrocarbons, flavonoids, carboxylic acids, esters, ketones, and sugars.

Summary: Detailed LM and SEM analyses were conducted on pollen grains from 11 taxa of Grammosciadium, Vinogradovia and Caropodium genera. The pollen is radially symmetrical and generally isopolar, with the exception of Grammosciadium macrodan ssp. nezaketiae. All taxa are tricolporate with discontinuous ectoapertures and endoapertures in the mid-section. The pollen shape varies from triangular to semi-triangular in polar view and the outline is subrectangular straight or slightly constricted in the equatorial region.
