Childhood atopy and mental health: a prospective, longitudinal investigation

Findings are the first linking atopy (measured by both parent report and objective verification) with increased vulnerability to affective and anxiety problems

Probiotic peanut oral immunotherapy versus oral immunotherapy and placebo in children with peanut allergy in Australia (PPOIT-003): a multicentre, randomised, phase 2b trial

Oral immunotherapy is effective at inducing desensitisation to allergens and induces sustained unresponsiveness (ie, clinical remission) in a subset of patients, but causes frequent reactions. We aimed to investigate whether addition of a probiotic adjuvant improved the efficacy or safety of peanut oral immunotherapy.

Cord blood t cells expressing high and low pkcζ levels develop into cells with a propensity to display th1 and th9 cytokine profiles, respectively

ow Protein Kinase C zeta (PKCζ) levels in cord blood T cells (CBTC) have been shown to correlate with the development of allergic sensitization in childhood. However, little is known about the mechanisms responsible. We have examined the relationship between the expression of different levels of PKCζ in CBTC and their development into mature T cell cytokine producers that relate to allergy or anti‐allergy promoting cells.

Childhood brain tumours: Associations with parental occupational exposure to solvents

Paternal exposure to solvents in the year before conception was associated with an increased CBT risk. This increased risk appeared to be mainly attributable...

Measuring exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation using a dosimetric technique: Understanding participant compliance issues

We investigated the types and determinants of noncompliance associated with a protocol for use of polysulphone UVR dosimeters.

Parental occupational exposure to engine exhausts and childhood brain tumors

Increased risks were observed for maternal exposure to diesel exhaust any time before the child's birth and paternal exposure around the time of the child's...

Living on a farm, contact with farm animals and pets, and childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia

These findings add additional evidence to the hypothesis that regular contact with animals in early childhood is inversely associated with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
