Whether you believe it or not, your life ... rather your ability to live (an ideally healthy life) is limited to a few absolutely vital factors of your biology, your metabolism, oxygen, clean unpolluted water, and your ability to produce and have adequate amount of glutathione in your body. It is the definitive antioxidant and it is under assault from many sides. Because it is vital and mostly found in your liver and is a major factor in detoxification being low on it is often sited as a cause for many diseases.NAC is the immediate precursor for making glutathione and it has saved thousands of lives because of that. THE World Health Organization lists it as the only treatment for Tylenol overdose and liver failure.It is now in a Renaissance due to covid 19 and once again it is saving (or making better) thousands of lives. Disclaimer:This video is not meant to diagnose, treat, or mitigate any medical condition.

Ryan introduces co-host Holly Knotowicz.   [1:17] Holly introduces today's topic, pediatric and adult eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and introduces today's guest, Dr. Melanie Ruffner.   [1:23] Dr. Melanie Ruffner is an attending physician with the Division of Allergy and Immunology in the Center for Pediatric Eosinophilic Disorders at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Holly welcomes Dr. Ruffner to Real Talk.   [1:50] As an attending physician in the Center for Pediatric Eosinophilic Disorders at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Dr. Ruffner sees patients who have eosinophilic esophagitis and other eosinophilic disorders, including eosinophilic GI tract disorders.   [2:09] Dr. Ruffner also leads a research group that studies how the immune system causes inflammation in response to certain foods, leading to EoE.   [2:20] Inflammation in the esophagus is tied to other diseases like epithelial barrier dysfunction and fibrosis.   [2:28] Our bodies use many different proteins that allow cells to communicate with one another. One type of signaling protein that causes inflammation is called cytokines.   [2:41] Dr. Ruffner's group is interested in how these signaling proteins called cytokines interact with epithelial cells and how that impacts the oral function of the esophagus in patients with EoE.   [3:02] In training, Dr. Ruffner became interested in eosinophilic esophagitis and other non-IgE-mediated food allergies because we don't have a lot of clear treatments or clear mechanisms that cause them.   [3:21] Dr. Ruffner felt there was a lot of work to be done in that area. It was rewarding to be in clinical encounters with those patients. Often, patients had spent a long time trying to find out what was happening and to find a treatment plan that worked for them.   [4:31] Dr. Ruffner's group sees some patients who have eosinophilic gastroenteritis and patients who are referred for hypereosinophilia with impacts of inflammation in other organ systems.   [5:06] Dr. Ruffner co-authored a paper about pediatric and adult EoE published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. It explored if EoE in pediatric patients and adult patients is a spectrum or distinct diseases.   [5:29] EoE is a chronic allergic condition that affects the esophagus. The esophagus carries food from the mouth to the stomach. In people with EoE, the immune system overreacts to foods and causes inflammation in the esophagus.   [5:47] Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell. Eosinophils infiltrate the tissue in the esophagus of people with EoE. Doctors look for eosinophils in the tissue of the esophagus as a sign that inflammation in the esophagus is EoE.   [6:04] The symptoms of EoE can vary in children and adults. That was one of the things the doctors were interested in when they were thinking about this paper. There are no blood or allergy tests that make it easy to diagnose EoE, which requires an endoscopy.   [6:31] An endoscopy is performed by a gastroenterologist. The gastroenterologists look at the appearance of the esophagus and take biopsies.   [6:49] A pathologist counts the eosinophils in the tissue to determine if there are eosinophils present. If there are more than 15 eosinophils in the high-powered field of the microscope and symptoms and clinical conditions are present, EoE is diagnosed.   [7:25] One of the variables Dr. Ruffner considers is that symptoms can be different in children versus adults. In older adolescents and adults, the classic symptom is difficulty swallowing or dysphagia. That is often caused by fibrosis in the esophagus.   [7:54] In younger children this is often not how EoE presents. They may vomit or refuse food. They may experience more weight loss. Symptoms vary over the lifespan. Pediatric EoE symptoms of nausea and abdominal pain can also show up in adults.   [9:54] Atopy refers to allergic conditions. In the paper, a history of atopy means a history of allergic conditions, like atopic dermatitis, IgE-mediated food allergy, allergic rhinitis, or asthma.   [10:37] These disorders tend to cluster together, over time, because they share many common genetic risks. They cluster in families because some of the genetic risks are the same. Not every family member will have the same atopic or allergic conditions.   [11:07] In families, perhaps one person will have atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis while another will have atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, asthma, and EoE. They may have inherited different genetics or had different environmental exposures.   [11:50] Ryan says that describes his family. They each have different atopic conditions. Ryan got them all! Dr. Ruffner says it describes her family, as well.   [12:26] Dr. Ruffner says it's understandable for families to stress about atopic conditions. Unfortunately, right now, there's no way to predict who will develop which atopic conditions. It's on the minds of the medical and research communities.   [13:10] IgE is an antibody that binds to food allergens and mediates anaphylaxis, usually within 30 minutes, with hives, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. Not everyone with a diagnosed food allergy will be given an epinephrine auto-injector.   [13:44] IgE-mediated food allergies are influenced by type 2 cytokines. Cytokines are immune system signaling proteins that have been labeled as groups. The group that is involved in allergy most heavily is under the label type 2.   [14:15] These type 2 cytokines are responsible for influencing B cells to make IgE. In the tissue in EoE, we find that there is a large amount of these type 2 cytokines present.   [14:37] This is quite relevant because dupilumab, the monoclonal antibody that has been approved to treat EoE, targets type 2 inflammation by blocking type 2 cytokines.   [16:04] Dr. Ruffner says one of the biggest challenges in the field of EoE is we don't have a way to stratify who should get which treatment for EoE. Patients have to choose between diet and pharmacologic therapy.   [16:48] We don't know enough about the inflammatory profiles to give any patient the specific guided information that one therapy would be better than another.   [17:11] Pediatric and adult patients are given the same treatment options. Some dosing, such as proton pump inhibitors and dupilumab, is weight-based so different doses are needed.   [17:36] Over time, people's needs change. From early school age to when people leave home, they may have very different needs. They may do well on diet therapy when their diet is controlled by parents, but, on their own, that may not be the best option for them.   [18:20] Therapy may change over time to support each patient's individual goals. It can be challenging because therapies are imperfect. Each therapy has a percentage probability of success. Not every therapy is guaranteed to work for every individual.   [19:01] There is some flexibility and possibility of switching between therapies to support people. Ryan shares one of his experiences in changing treatments.   [20:03] Some patients are stable on a therapy for a time but then see symptoms creep back up. Dr. Ruffner strongly suggests they talk to their care team for an endoscopy and biopsy to see if they need to switch therapy and if their diet has changed.   [21:31] In young children, Dr. Ruffner sees a much higher incidence of feeding refusal. The child may have a preferred food or a preferred texture like puree, long past when that would be appropriate for the age.   [22:41] It can be very difficult to move past this learned behavior even if remission is achieved through therapy. The child may need feeding therapy to help with that. [22:59] Feeding behaviors in older individuals may be much more subtle. Talk about them with your care team. Needing water to eat, cutting food very small, and fearing to eat around people are common eating behaviors to discuss in older patients.   [23:53] These eating behaviors affect people's well-being deeply because they affect how social they feel when they are around people. Ideally, you want to be around people and share in social times.   [24:16] Holly has used these eating behaviors herself and notices them in other people. When adults come to her for therapy, she asks how many times they refill their water when they eat, and if food ever gets stuck. They are surprised that those are symptoms.   [26:01] Dr. Ruffner says it's important to recognize the difference in symptoms in diagnosing EoE. The main risk factor of EoE is fibrosis, over time. The thought is that early in EoE there is an inflammatory phenotype, but later, there is a fibrotic phenotype.   [26:51] The phenotype refers to the presentation or characteristic of disease. What is the appearance at endoscopy? What do we see in the biopsied tissue? Is there fibrosis or not?   [27:15] This is the crux of the paper: Is this on a spectrum, that the inflammation is driving the fibrosis, or are these two different things altogether? There is some evidence to suggest that the inflammation contributes to this fibrosis over time.   [27:40] One thing that is missing is following a group of patients from the start and having that evidence. There is mechanistic evidence from studies to show that inflammation can contribute to fibrosis. That was one of the discussions in the paper.   [28:29] In endoscopies, something that can be seen with fibrosis or fibrostenotic features is more of an appearance of rings and narrowing of the esophagus. A proportion of patients with strictures or narrowing need to have them dilated.   [29:11] For patients who have dilation, it can help with symptoms significantly. When pathologists look at the tissue with fibrosis, they can see changes in the protein structure. There is more collagen and other changes in the tissue, causing fibrosis.   [30:03] Some patients use adaptive eating behaviors to adapt to significant changes in their esophagus and go for many years without being diagnosed until they present with an impaction when food becomes stuck in their esophagus.   [30:46] This makes EoE a challenging disorder for many because it can be very difficult to diagnose. The journey to a diagnosis is very individual. As a group, adults are much more likely to have fibrosis, leading to dysphagia, strictures, or impaction.   [31:25] Statistically, across all patients, you see fibrosis more in adults than in children.   [32:42] In the paper, Th1 cells are mentioned. Th1 is an immune system term referring to a cell that produces interferon-gamma. Studies show there may be differences in interferon signaling in different age groups but it needs to be studied further.   [33:57] Dr. Ruffner's team had looked at a small group and saw that interferon signaling seemed to be relatively similar between children and adults. Both CD4 and CD8 T cells (types of immune system cells) are potentially producing interferon in the esophagus.   [34:32] More study needs to be done around those immune system cells and their potential significance in EoE, if any.   [35:33] The paper suggests that EoE in children and adults is essentially a spectrum of the same disorder rather than distinct diseases.   [35:42] Aspects of immunology, responses to different treatments across children and adults, the similar responses to diet and different medications, and over time in the same individuals, indicate these are changes and complications over time.   [36:41] Dr. Ruffner suggests that medical researchers need to understand which patients are at the highest risk of complications and work to identify the best treatments to prevent those.   [37:14] Dr. Ruffner is thinking about the response to proton pump inhibitor therapy. One of the things she is looking at is whether or not proton pump inhibitors affect how eosinophils migrate into the tissue.   [37:33] They are finding that it seems that PPIs can decrease the degree of migration of eosinophils into the tissue. They are very interested in looking at that. Ryan says when Dr. Ruffner gets that paper published, she'll have to come back on the show!   [38:06] Ryan thanks Dr. Ruffner.

Our immune system operates like a finely tuned symphony, yet many of us find ourselves out of harmony, vulnerable to persistent infections, autoimmune conditions, and chronic disease. Rather than merely suppressing symptoms, a Functional Medicine approach seeks to identify and address the underlying disruptions driving immune imbalance. Central to this dysfunction is compromised gut health, which undermines immune regulation, while mitochondrial impairment and chronic inflammation further erode the body's capacity for resilience and repair. By restoring balance at the root level, we can cultivate a more robust and adaptive immune system. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Elroy Vojdani and Dr. Leonard Calabrese, how cleaning up our diets, improving gut health, removing toxins, and decreasing stress can do wonders for our immune systems. Dr. Elroy Vojdani is a pioneer in the field of functional medicine and research and is the founder of Regenera Medical, a concierge functional medicine practice in Los Angeles, California. He graduated from USC Keck School of Medicine, is a certified Institute for Functional Medicine Practitioner. Dr. Vojdani has conducted medical scientific research for decades with more than 25 publications in multiple peer-reviewed journals. He is also world-renowned for his research and development of state-of-the-art lab testing in the field of immunology. He recently authored a book entitled “When Food Bites Back” which discusses the role of food immune reactions in the development of autoimmune disease.  Dr. Leonard Calabrese, is an expert in immunology and rheumatology. In fact, he is a Professor of Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University and Vice Chair of the Department of Rheumatic and Immunologic Diseases.

Like tens of millions of people, Stephen Dubner thought he had a penicillin allergy. Like the vast majority, he didn't. This misdiagnosis costs billions of dollars and causes serious health problems, so why hasn't it been fixed? And how about all the other things we think we're allergic to? SOURCES:Kimberly Blumenthal, allergist-immunologist and researcher at Mass General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.Theresa MacPhail, associate professor of science and technology studies at Stevens Institute of Technology.Thomas Platts-Mills, professor of medicine at the University of Virginia.Elena Resnick, allergist and immunologist at Mount Sinai Hospital. RESOURCES:Allergic: Our Irritated Bodies in a Changing World, by Theresa MacPhail (2023)."Evaluation and Management of Penicillin Allergy: A Review," by Erica S.

La rinitis alérgica tiene síntomas parecidos a los de un resfriado común tales como goteo de nariz, comezón en los ojos, congestión, estornudos y presión en los senos paranasales. Sin embargo, la rinitis alérgica no es provocada por un virus, sino por una respuesta alérgica a una sustancia inofensiva del interior o el exterior que el cuerpo identifica como nociva. En este episodio invitamos al Dr. Iván Chérrez Ojeda para conocer más sobre la rinitis alérgica y sus comorbilidades. El Dr. Iván Chérrez Ojeda MD, M.Sc., PhD, es un reconocido especialista en Alergia, Inmunología y Neumología, con una sólida formación académica en Argentina y Alemania.

Dr. Brian Kim is an award winning dermatologist and researcher known as The ItchDoctor. His groundbreaking research has led to patents in itch molecules and he uses his platform to educate the public about different causes of itching. On this episode of the Vault we discuss how men and women experience itch differently and ways that skin and hair impact mental health.Dr. Kim received his M.D. from the University of Washington, was a HHMI-NIH Scholar, completed residency in dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania where he earned a Master of Translational Research (MTR). The Kim Lab focuses on mechanisms that underlie skin inflammation and the sensation of itch as a fundamental, broad, model paradigm of neuroimmunology. Key discoveries include the first identification of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in the skin of both mice and humans, novel contributions of basophils, ILC2s, and natural killer (NK) cells to skin inflammation, and unveiling how immune cells and type 2 cytokines/JAK signaling directly influence sensory neuronal responses. He has peer-reviewed publications, multiple NIH grants, designed pivotal clinical trials that led to novel FDA-approved treatments, and is an inventor of itch-centered technologies. His research has led to awards and funding from NIH, Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, American Skin Association, American Academy ofDermatology, American Society for Clinical Investigation, American Dermatological Association, and International League of Dermatological Societies. He holds a patent for the use of JAK inhibitors for chronic itch. He is on the scientific advisory board for Abrax Japan, Granular Therapeutics, Recens Medical, National Eczema Association, and Cell Reports Medicine. He is on the editorial board of Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, section editor for Journal of Immunology and on the board of rev How Intimacy Health I related to Mental health Myths about Intimacy health. How to identify signs of High Functioning Depression High Functioning Depression in Healthcare workers Anhedonia How to cope with High Functioning Depression

Atopic dermatitis is the single most common chronic condition in the world, but it's also the most misunderstood and mistreated. People who struggle with it endure years of discomfort, a drop in their quality of life, a revolving door of doctors, reams of blood tests and a multitude of treatments. These treatments often focus on food and finding out what they can stop eating to get better. Though this is well-intentioned advice, it is misguided. The food you eat isn't the root cause of eczema. Growing data show that eczema is what causes food allergies. This changes everything about how eczema is treated, and also how to prevent it in infants. For high-risk babies, early and frequent exposure to food can significantly reduce the chance of atopic dermatitis and potentially set them up for an allergy-free life. In this episode, I'm joined by the Chief Medical Officer at Snö Asthma & Allergy, Dr. Stuart Carr. He shares the truth about atopic dermatitis, and why there are more treatment options on the table other than avoiding certain foods and hoping for the best.  Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Sensitization vs. true allergy  Food sensitivity and allergy are two very different things that often get mixed up. How do doctors determine if you're allergic to something? -The right way to restrict your diet  Many people use elimination diets to try and combat allergies. How do you do this without actually increasing your chance of allergy? -Early and often exposure is key Parents of infants prone to eczema often delay the introduction of certain foods, could this actually make the likelihood of allergy higher? -Food in mouth, but not on skin Atopic dermatitis patients think eating certain foods will trigger a reaction. What actually triggers a reaction?  Guest Bio Dr. Carr has been Chief Medical Officer at Snö Asthma & Allergy in Abu Dhabi since January 2019, having spent the previous 20 years in academic clinical allergy practice in Edmonton, Canada.  He was an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Alberta, and is also a Past-President of the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and a reviewer for Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, the journal of the CSACI. His primary interests are pediatric asthma, food allergy, and eosinophilic esophagitis, and Dr. Carr is currently involved in a Canada-wide collaboration examining the safety and effectiveness of oral immunotherapy for peanut and other food allergies in preschool children.

"Wrap up warm, or you'll catch a cold!" No doubt you heard that advice a lot as a child, and you may well still hear it as an adult. For a long time, scientists were skeptical about the idea that simply being exposed to the cold could make a person sick. After all, to get sick, you need to actually come into contact with a microbe, like a virus. And cold weather itself isn't a disease. But recent developments suggest there may actually be some truth to the idea. In December 2022, The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology published a study by a team of American researchers, who had looked into how cold weather affected immunity in the nose. The researchers explained that our nasal mucous membranes, and in particular the extracellular vesicles, act as the first line of defense in our immune system against viral attacks. What do we know now that we didn't before? But is the cold the sole culprit? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Food allergies are on the rise, but there are some things you can do to try and reduce the risk of them developing in your kids. From eating a variety of food during pregnancy - yes including nuts if you're not allergic yourself - to avoiding food-based skin products like almond oil on your infant. And it's so important that you introduce a range of foods, bit by bit, when your bub starts eating solids. Dr Nelu Simonsz (pediatrician and mother of 3) joins Dr Preeya to share a pile of practical golden nuggets when it comes to preventing food allergies, along with how to manage them (and the stress) if they do develop. All those FAQs on “do we need a skin prick test?” “is this red skin around the mouth a food allergy reaction?” answered with plenty of singing and giggles on the way. The discussions in this podcast are general in nature and do not replace the need for you to see a qualified health professional for any concerns you may have.  Guest:  Dr Nelu Simonsz - paediatrician Useful Links: Nip Allergies in the Bub ⁠https://preventallergies.org.au⁠  Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) “How to Introduce Solid Foods to Babies for Allergy Prevention” ⁠https://www.allergy.org.au/⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@doctor.preeya.alexander⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@dr_nelu_simonsz⁠ Books: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Eat, Sleep, Play, Love⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ by Dr Preeya Alexander⁠ Preeya's new book ⁠⁠⁠Full Plate⁠⁠⁠ is out now!

Send us a Text Message.On this episode of the CMAJ Podcast, Dr. Blair Bigham and Dr. Mojola Omole tackle an unexpected yet urgent topic: the resurgence of measles. With rising cases globally and in Canada, they discuss the implications and necessary actions for healthcare professionals.Dr. Sarah Wilson, a public health physician at Public Health Ontario, provides a comprehensive overview of the current measles situation. She explains the factors contributing to the increase in cases, including disruptions to immunization services during the COVID-19 pandemic and preexisting trends in declining vaccine acceptance. Dr. Wilson also highlights the severe complications of measles, especially for vulnerable groups such as children under five, pregnant individuals, and those who are immunocompromised.The conversation shifts to practical steps for healthcare providers. Dr. Wilson details the importance of considering measles in differential diagnoses for patients with fever and rash, particularly those with relevant exposure histories. She emphasizes the need for appropriate diagnostic testing and discusses the public health response, including the administration of immune globulins for high-risk contacts.The key practical step for controlling measles is, of course, widespread immunization. Dr. Samira Jeimy, an assistant professor and the program director for the division of Clinical Immunology and Allergy at Western University. She offers an overview of the vaccine including its effectiveness and safety, despite persistent misinformation. Dr. Jeimy explains the vaccination schedule for children and the importance of booster doses for adults, especially before travel to areas with active outbreaks. She also details the role of vaccination given within 72 hours of an exposure to reduce the risk of infection or lessen the severity of measles if infected.Throughout the episode, the hosts and guests emphasize the need for improved communication and trust-building between healthcare providers and patients when addressing vaccine hesitancy.Join us as we explore medical solutions that address the urgent need to change healthcare.

This week we sit down with Dr.  John Warner, an Emeritus professor of Pediatrics at the Imperial College of London in the United Kingdom and also at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. We discuss his recent paper entitled: Strategies and Future Opportunities for the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Cow Milk Allergy. Dr. Warner completed his undergraduate medical training in the School of Medicine, University of Sheffield and his initial pediatric experience was at the Children''s Hospital, Sheffield in the United Kingdom. He moved to London as Professor of Pediatrics and Head of Department at Imperial College St Mary's hospital campus.  He is also Hon Professor of Pediatrics in the University of Cape Town. In 2008 he became Director of Research for the Women and Children's Clinical Programme Group, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (ICHT). He was the lead for pediatrics in both the Biomedical Research Centre in ICHT and the NW London CLAHRC (Collaboration for Applied Health Research and Care) and was President of the Academic Pediatrics Association. Professor Warner's research has focused on the early life origins of asthma and related allergic and respiratory disorders.  He has published over 500 papers in scientific journals on these topics.  He was Editor in Chief of the journal Paediatric Allergy and Immunology from 1997-2010 and chairman of the paediatric section of the British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology for 5 years until 2010.  He was also a member of the Speciality and Training committee of the World Allergy Organisation and a past Trustee of the charity known as The Anaphylaxis Campaign.  He was a member of the Advisory Committee for Novel Foods and Processes of the Food Standards Agency for 12 years until 2012 and was recognised for his work in food allergy research by the award of an OBE in 2013.   Please enjoy my conversation with Professor Warner, Dr. M  

In the last few decades, there has been a huge increase in allergy and allergic reactions, but why? Just what has changed in our health and environment to bring this about? Consultant NHS allergist Dr Sophie Farooque discusses one of the biggest puzzles in medicine. For example peanut allergies were almost unknown before the 1990s, but today it  and other food allergies are much more common. Sophie reveals the best thing to do to stop a child developing a food allergy is - perhaps counter intuitively -  to ensure that from an early age, they are exposed to a wide variety of foods, including potentially hypoallergenic ones. And Sophie discusses how  children with eczema are at increased risk of  developing a cascade of other allergies, and what parents and doctors can do to minimise this risk. She explains why if you are allergic to one cat you will probably be allergic to all, but why that's not necessarily the case for dogs. It turns out that cat allergen is one of the most powerful allergens of all, and remarkably resilient. Amazingly, it has even been found in Antartica. And for those parts of the world where it's the start of spring and many are starting to suffer from hay fever, she explains why she recommends nasal rinses and steroid sprays, but says patients should stay away from nasal decongestants and hay fever steroid injections.

Before you buy food sensitivity testing, you need to hear this because so many people are harmed by these tests. For one thing, food sensitivity testing is touted as a miracle, cure-all answer for skin rashes. So when you take the test, cut out the foods, and your rash is still flaring up — it can leave you feeling really lost and even hopeless that things will ever change. AND for many, food sensitivity tests trigger food fear that drives unnecessary diet restrictions that do more harm than good negatively impacting not just your physical health, but also your mental well-being. That's not a great place to be. And then there's the fact that these tests are expensive. So, if you fork out the money for one of these food sensitivity tests, and you don't see the results you were hoping for, now you're out of hope and you're out a serious bit of money too which could have been better spent on other tests which are more helpful. Especially since food sensitivity testing CAN'T identify root cause problems triggering skin rashes or flare-ups. That's why today, we're diving into food sensitivity, what results mean for your rash, and asking the big question, “Does food sensitivity testing work?” And because it's so common to have low stomach acid when you struggle with skin rashes – especially if you suspect that your rash is triggered by the foods you eat — be sure to try my completely free DIY Low Stomach Acid Test before you do anything else. This simple at-home test can help put you on the right track! In This Episode: What's a Food Allergy Vs Food Sensitivity Vs Intolerance? What exactly is food sensitivity testing, anyway? Are food sensitivity tests accurate? My answer might surprise you! Hair Vs Blood Food Sensitivity Test — Which Is better? Can you become sensitive to a food you eat daily? (like eggs?) Leaky gut + your skin rash: What's the connection? How to reintroduce a food after an elimination diet What I recommend instead of food sensitivity testing Quotes “The problem is that food sensitivity tests are not accurate. There's little evidence to support the idea that IgG testing can uncover food sensitivities. In fact, both the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology and the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology warn against using food sensitivity tests as diagnostic tools.” “Food sensitivity testing results are highly changeable depending on your current diet. So it's not uncommon to see all of your favorite foods that you eat daily show up as moderate or even high food sensitivities leading you to think that they are now bad for you.”

"Wrap up warm, or you'll catch a cold!" No doubt you heard that advice a lot as a child, and you may well still hear it as an adult. For a long time, scientists were skeptical about the idea that simply being exposed to the cold could make a person sick. After all, to get sick, you need to actually come into contact with a microbe, like a virus. And cold weather itself isn't a disease. But recent developments suggest there may actually be some truth to the idea. In December 2022, The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology published a study by a team of American researchers, who had looked into how cold weather affected immunity in the nose. The researchers explained that our nasal mucous membranes, and in particular the extracellular vesicles, act as the first line of defense in our immune system against viral attacks. What do we know now that we didn't before? But is the cold the sole culprit? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Have you ever eaten something and began feeling itchiness and tingling of your lips or throat? This could be due to PFAS, which stands for Pollen-Food Allergy Syndrome. PFAS is a hypersensitivity reaction that can occur in individuals who have seasonal allergic rhinitis. The symptoms are caused by a cross-reactivity between plant pollens and food proteins following the ingestion of certain fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Join medical student Ryan Boykin and Pediatric Allergist Dr. Sarah Spriet as they discuss the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of PFAS.   After listening to this episode, leaners should be able to: Describe the pathophysiology of PFAS Understand the differences between PFAS and an IgE-mediated food allergy and identify the diagnostic studies that may aid in distinguishing between the two Recall common foods associated with PFAS and identify their cross-reactivity patterns Identify which patients are at greater risk of systemic reactions and when to prescribe an epinephrine auto-injector Identify when to refer patients to an Allergy & Immunology subspecialist  Special thanks to Dr. Richard Bickel and Dr. Rebecca Yang for peer review of content of this episode.

How Redlining Shaped Baltimore's Tree Canopy Redlining was pervasive in American cities from the 1930s through the late 1960s. Maps were drawn specifically to ensure that Black people were denied mortgages. These discriminatory practices created a lasting legacy of economic and racial inequality which persists today. Less obvious is how redlining has shaped nature and the urban ecosystem. A recent study found that previously redlined neighborhoods in Baltimore have fewer big old trees and lower tree diversity than other parts of the city. These findings are part of the Baltimore Ecosystem Study, a collaborative research project which has tracked the city's changing urban environment for the past 25 years. But it's not all bad news. The city has a comprehensive tree replanting initiative and is now working to restore its tree canopy. In 2007, Baltimore set a goal to increase the tree cover from 20% to 40% by 2037. Since then, officials have been working closely with non-profit community organizations to plant trees all over the city—especially in previously redlined and otherwise under-served neighborhoods. Ira talks with Karin Burghardt, assistant professor of entomology at the University of Maryland about her latest research into the effect of redlining on Baltimore's tree ecosystem. And later, Ira speaks with Ryan Alston, communications and outreach manager for Baltimore Tree Trust, which has planted over 16,000 trees in the city to date.   What's Going On Underground With Gophers? Pocket gophers, also known as gophers, are often viewed as a pest species. But their extensive tunnel networks are good for soil and help shape healthy ecosystems everywhere gophers are found. Producer Christie Taylor talks to two University of Florida researchers who investigated the mystery of the pocket gopher—why does a single gopher build such a large network of tunnels? What they found led to deeper questions about how gophers get enough food for their extensive energy needs, and whether they might even be cultivating roots in a deliberate act of farming. Plus, why pocket gophers deserve our appreciation as ecosystem engineers.   How This Chemist Is Turning Agricultural Waste Into Water Filters Activated carbon filters have become common household items as water filters in pitchers, or directly on your faucet. These activated carbon filters are also used in industrial processes like wastewater treatment and to filter out chemicals released in smokestacks. Dr. Kandis Leslie Abdul-Aziz, assistant professor of chemical and environmental engineering at University of California Riverside, has created activated carbon filters from agricultural waste like corn stover and orange peels. Abdul-Aziz talks with Ira about her research, and what it will take to shift manufacturing processes to be more sustainable and less harmful to the planet.     The Nose Knows When It's Cold—And It May Get You Sick It's something most of us know from experience: When it's cold outside, you're likely to see a lot of people sneezing and coughing. Upper respiratory infections, like the flu, colds or even COVID-19 are common in winter. But understanding the biological reasons why hasn't been known—until now. Researchers at Mass Eye and Ear cracked the mystery in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology last month. The study points to the cold-sensitive nose—specifically extracellular vesicles inside nose cells—as the key immune response impacted by temperature. It turns out that a temperature drop of about 40 degrees Farenheit triggers a severe decrease in the quantity and effectiveness in EVs, decreasing the body's ability to prevent infection. Ira speaks to the study's lead author Benjamin Bleier, associate professor at Mass Eye and Ear in Boston, Massachusetts, about this breakthrough and the impact it could have on future treatments for respiratory illness.   By Hiding Their Blood, These Frogs Pull Off The Ultimate Disappearing Act Glass frogs have a superpower: If you look at them from above, they look like regular green frogs. But if you flip one over, you can see right into their bodies: hearts, intestines, bones, and all. As these frogs doze off, however, something changes: They disappear. Well, almost. A new study shows that the frogs can hide their red blood cells as they sleep, becoming expert camouflagers. Dr. Carlos Taboada, a biologist at Duke University, is a co-author on this study and he joins Ira to talk about the glass frogs' tricks.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
