Prevalence of allergic diseases in infants, whose parents and siblings do not have allergy, is approximately 10% and reaches 20-30% in those with an allergic...
This review article examines the evidence of the impact of in utero and postnatal vitamin D exposure on allergy risk in childhood
This article focuses on IgE-mediated food allergies and allergic rhinitis, the most commonly seen conditions in paediatric immunology.
Reliance on increasing use of dietary supplementation and fortification (eg, with folate) to compensate for increased consumption of processed foods is also...
This study identified that expsoure to folate has effects on the regulation of DNA methylation during fetal development.
This paper is a review about the importance of alterations to the DNA molecule, rather than the DNA sequence, in the development of the immune system, and...
Vitamin D status in early life has been linked to the risk of allergic disease in multiple observational studies.
The proposal that dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) enhances neurocognitive functioning in term infants is controversial.
With more than one in four Australian children overweight or obese, and the significant risks this poses for health problems like asthma, depression,...
There is a growing need for early biomarkers that may predict the development of atopic dermatitis (AD). As alterations in skin barrier may be a primary event in disease pathogenesis, epithelial cell (EC) cytokines expression patterns may be a potential biomarker in early life to target allergy preventive strategies towards "at-risk" infants. The aim of this longitudinal investigation was to examine from birth over the course of infancy levels of the EC cytokines: thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin (IL)-33, IL-25, and IL-17 in infants at high-risk of AD due to maternal atopy.
