Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is considered to be primarily a mast cell-driven disease. However, recent evidence suggests that eosinophils may also have an axial role in symptomology. Histological studies have demonstrated the presence of both eosinophils and eosinophil granules, indicative of activation, in CSU lesions. While many allergic and inflammatory conditions are associated with a peripheral blood eosinophilia, the converse appears to be the case in CSU, a peripheral blood eosinopenia...

We read with much interest the letter by Elizur et al1 commenting on our article about coexistent allergy to nuts and sesame seed.2 A common behavior among doctors when they are faced with a child with allergy to nuts/sesame seed is to prohibit all nuts/sesame seed, on the basis of an assumption of almost total cross-reactivity between nuts and sesame seed. Studies such as Nut CRACKER and Pronuts have shown these assumptions to be unfounded and such behavior, in our opinion, does not take into consideration...

We read with interest the article by Brough et al1 titled “Defining challenge-proven coexistent nut and sesame seed allergy: A prospective multicenter European study,” in which the authors describe the coexistent rate of peanut, treenuts, or sesame allergy among patients diagnosed with at least 1 confirmed nut or sesame seed allergy. We would like to emphasize and extend several important conclusions that arise from this as well as from previous studies.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a common condition, caused primarily by narrowing of the nasal and pharyngeal airway, leading to partial or complete airway collapse during sleep. Treatment with positive airway pressure (PAP) is considered first-line therapy, due to an efficacy rate of approximately 95%, yet long-term compliance with PAP is less than 40%. The efficacy of a sleep oral appliance is lower than PAP, yet it may have similar effectiveness. A sleep oral appliance is a reasonable second-line therapy...
