TL;DR: A 5-year-old boy with a history of an itchy rash and lip swelling following peanut ingestion several weeks ago and his mother would like to know if her son will have a more severe reaction if he is exposed to nuts again.
Abstract: A 5-year-old boy with a history of an itchy rash and lip swelling following peanut ingestion several weeks ago comes to see you in your outpatient clinic. His mother would like to know if her son will have a more severe reaction if he is exposed to nuts again. What advice do you give her and which, if any, investigations should be done? In a child with a history of an IgE-mediated allergic reaction to food (patient), are (intervention) blood tests, skin prick tests (SPTs) or the medical history helpful in determining the severity of future reactions (outcome)? ### Search strategy A Medline search 1946–2014 was performed, as per table 1. The same search terms were used for the Cochrane library, with nil relevant articles, and also for an Embase search which found one further original research paper.1 Anaphylaxis was searched separately as (predic* adj3 anaphyl*).mp in Embase, Cochrane and Medline, finding one new review article2 and one new original research article.3 Articles were excluded if they did not relate to food allergy or children. View this table: Table 1 Medline 1946–2014 The 16 original research articles included are summarised in table 2. View this table: Table 2 Summary of articles The findings of the relevant review articles2 ,4–6 and recommendations from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health care pathway for food allergy7 and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines on food allergy in children and young people8 are discussed further in the Commentary section. Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergy is common in children and is on the increase.8 There are studies that give a range of positive predictive values (PPVs) for SPT wheal size or specific IgE (sIgE) levels, aiming to help in diagnosis and reduce the need for food challenge in hospitals.23 The prediction …

TL;DR: Lung aeration at birth is characterised by a fast reduction in resistance and a slower increase in oscillatory compliance, the latter being a direct reflection of the amount of lung aeration.
Abstract: Despite recent insights into the dynamic processes during lung aeration at birth, several aspects remain poorly understood. We aimed to characterize changes in lung mechanics during the first inflation at birth and their relationship to changes in lung volume. Intubated preterm lambs (gestational age, 124-127 days; n = 17) were studied at birth. Lung volume changes were measured by electrical impedance tomography (VLEIT). Respiratory system resistance (R5) and oscillatory compliance (Cx5) were monitored with the forced oscillation technique at 5 Hz. Lambs received 3-7 s of 8 cmH2O of continuous distending pressure (CDP) before delivery of a sustained inflation (SI) of 40 cmH2O. The SI was then applied until either Cx5 or the VLEIT or the airway opening volume was stable. CDP was resumed for 3-7 s before commencement of mechanical ventilation. The exponential increases with time of Cx5 and VLEIT from commencement of the SI were characterized by estimating their time constants (τCx5 and τVLEIT, respectively). During SI, a fast decrease in R5 and an exponential increase in Cx5 and VLEIT were observed. Cx5 and VLEIT provided comparable information on the dynamics of lung aeration in all lambs, with τCx5 and τVLEIT being highly linearly correlated (r2 = 0.87, P < 0.001). Cx5 and VLEIT decreased immediately after SI. Despite the standardization of the animal model, changes in Cx5 and R5 both during and after SI were highly variable. Lung aeration at birth is characterized by a fast reduction in resistance and a slower increase in oscillatory compliance, the latter being a direct reflection of the amount of lung aeration.
