TL;DR: Global warming is expected to affect the start, duration, and intensity of the pollen season, and the rate of asthma exacerbations due to air pollution, respiratory infections, and/or cold air inhalation, and other conditions on the other hand.

TL;DR: Evaluating the characteristics of the newly developed Allergy Explorer (ALEX), a macroarray containing both extracted “whole” allergens and molecular components, found it to be a novel tool for describing the IgE profile in a PM setting.

TL;DR: Results show that bilastine meets current EAACI/ARIA criteria for medications used in the treatment of AR and chronic urticaria, and the review of the literature indicates that once-daily treatment with bilastines 20 mg was effective in managing symptoms and improving patient’s quality of life.

TL;DR: A better understanding of the mechanisms leading to cardiac mast cell activation and the effects of mast cell mediators on cardiovascular system can help improve the prevention and treatment of anaphylaxis.

TL;DR: Though some similarities between RCTs and R-L studies strengthen omalizumab efficacy and safety outcomes, significant differences concerning study population features, follow-up duration, local adverse events and drop-out rate for treatment inefficacy emerge between the two study categories.
