 | | |  Stuffed toys can release short-chain PFAS into saliva, study finds Researchers tested 18 stuffed toys and found that all released at least one targeted PFAS into artificial saliva under mouthing-relevant conditions, with PFHxA driving much of the variation between products. Modeled intake of the four PFAS covered by EFSA’s group tolerable weekly intake remained below that benchmark, but some high-PFHxA toys had reduced margins of exposure, and water rinsing produced mixed results. | | | | |  Omalizumab beats multiallergen oral immunotherapy in multifood allergy trial Omalizumab demonstrates higher treatment success for multifood allergies compared to oral immunotherapy, with fewer adverse events impacting patient retention. | |

| | | | |  Mosquito-borne pathogens, including zika, yellow fever and other illnesses have serious and worldwide impacts on human health. | | | | |  An eight-week randomized trial found that daily perilla oil increased plasma and red-cell ALA, plasma EPA, and platelet closure time in healthy smokers. Perilla oil also reduced TNF-α and TBX21 gene expression, but it did not improve broader coagulation, lipid, endothelial, or postprandial markers. | | | | |  The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health has awarded a new, five-year $2.4 million R01 grant to Dr. Jiahui Ding, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Wayne State University School of Medicine's C.S. | | | | |  Adding oral antihistamines to existing eczema treatments is unlikely to lead to clinically important reductions in eczema and itch severity, and may not reduce sleep disturbance or flare-ups, finds a review of the latest trial evidence published by The BMJ today. | | | | |  Researchers combined local restimulation of skin-resident memory T cells with hydrogel-coated microneedle patches to recruit and sample rare immune cells. In mouse models, the approach recovered more antigen-specific T cells than a blood sample or punch biopsy, while studies in humans supported short-term tolerability and proof-of-concept cell sampling. | | | | | In a mouse model, LMU researchers have discovered a signaling pathway through which diet influences the development of the immune system. | | | | | A "leaky gut" might increase the severity of food allergies, according to new research conducted in mice and published in The Journal of Immunology. | | | | | The Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, spreads serious pathogens, including severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) virus, Rickettsia, and Theileria, and its bite can cause a meat allergy in humans. | |
