Few studies have evaluated the effect of maternal influenza vaccination on the development of allergic and autoimmune diseases in children beyond 6 months of age. We aimed to investigate the association between in utero exposure to seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) and subsequent diagnosis of allergic and autoimmune diseases.
There is growing evidence that lung function in early-life predicts later lung function. Adverse events over the lifespan might influence an individual’s lung function trajectory, resulting in poor respiratory health. The aim of this study is to identify early-life risk factors and their impact on lung function trajectories to prevent long-term lung impairments.
Childhood asthma is a condition characterized by airflow obstruction that varies in time spontaneously, in response to various environmental stimuli...
The hallmark of atopic asthma is transient airways hyperresponsiveness (AHR) preceded by aeroallergen-induced Th-cell activation.
When the allergen nomenclature system was adopted in 1986, allergens were identified by their behavior on electrophoresis and chromatography...
To determine whether changes in 24-hour average background ozone (O₃), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), carbon monoxide (CO) and particulates < 10 μm (PM₁₀) increase the
Elucidation of early life factors is critical to understand the development of allergic diseases, especially those manifesting in early life such as food allerg
Bacterial colonisation of the airways is associated with increased risk of childhood asthma
Digit ratio (2D:4D) is widely used as a marker of prenatal androgen exposure
There is a growing understanding that chronic respiratory diseases in adults have their origins in early life
