TL;DR: This review has the aim of consolidating methodological recommendations through a critical analysis on past and recent data to allow a better understanding on skin prick test (SPT) history; technique; (contra-) indications; interpretation of results; diagnostic pitfalls; adverse reactions; and variability factors.

TL;DR: Although both patients and physicians report high inhaler adherence, discordance occurred in half of cases, implementation of objective adherence measures and effective communication are needed to improve patient-physician agreement.

TL;DR: The InspirerMundi app was feasible and acceptable to monitor medication adherence in patients with asthma and patients were globally satisfied with the app, with adherence monitoring, symptom monitoring, and gamification features being the most highly scored components; and the medication detection tool among the lowest scored.

TL;DR: It is now evident that EHF can induce adverse reactions in a substantial number of infants with cow's milk allergy, and allergenic potential has been reported as rare and some authors suggest intolerance rates of approximately 10% among CMA patients.
