TL;DR: Filaggrin mutations represent a significant risk factor for IgE-mediated peanut allergy, indicating a role for epithelial barrier dysfunction in the pathogenesis of this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is the prevalence of peanut allergy increasing? A 5-year follow-up study in children in Montreal.
Moshe Ben-Shoshan,Rhoda Kagan,Reza Alizadehfar,Lawrence Joseph,Elizabeth Turnbull,Yvan St. Pierre,Ann E. Clarke +6 more
TL;DR: This is the first North American study to document temporal trends in peanut allergy prevalence by corroborating history with confirmatory tests, and the results suggest a stable prevalence, but wide CIs preclude definitive conclusions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral immunotherapy for milk allergy
TL;DR: Current evidence shows that MOIT can lead to desensitization in the majority of individuals with IMCMA although the development of long-term tolerance has not been established, and a major drawback of MOIT is the frequency of adverse effects, although most are mild and self-limited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of food labels in accidental exposures in food-allergic individuals in Canada.
Shashank S. Sheth,Susan Waserman,Rhoda Kagan,Reza Alizadehfar,Marie-Noël Primeau,Susan J. Elliot,Yvan St. Pierre,Rebecca Wickett,Lawrence Joseph,Lawrence Joseph,Laurie Harada,Claire Dufresne,Mary Allen,M. Allen,Samuel Benrejeb Godefroy,Ann E. Clarke +15 more
TL;DR: Clear and consistent labeling of food allergens combined with increased consumer education is necessary to improve consumer confidence and compliance and to reduce accidental exposures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inadvertent exposures in children with peanut allergy.
Nha Uyen Nguyen-Luu,Moshe Ben-Shoshan,Reza Alizadehfar,Lawrence Joseph,Laurie Harada,Mary Allen,Yvan St-Pierre,Ann E. Clarke +7 more
TL;DR: Inadvertent exposures in children with peanut allergy are found to be a cause for concern and research is needed to establish a causative mechanism.
