despite preliminary evidence, the role of probiotic and synbiotic in treatment of the atopic dermatitis has shown varying results. we aimed to evaluate whether synbiotic supplementation decrease severity of atopic dermatitis (ad) in childhood. in a randomized double blind-placebo controlled trial, we evaluated the synbiotic supplementation efficiency on the treatment of atopic dermatitis. infan...

asthma is the most prevalent chronic disease in childhood. to determine the prevalence of asthma and related symptoms in children younger than 5 years, a survey was performed by interviewing mothers of 617 children during spring 2001. the interview comprised of two parts. the first part contained children characteristics including age, sex, maternal age at the child birth, child history of atop...

Asthma is a common condition, which is associated with atopy and allergic conditions including hay fever, eczema, and food allergies. Asthma and atopy are both complex conditions where genetic and environmental factors are implicated in causation. Interactions between genetic and environmental factors, likely via epigenetic mechanisms, are widely thought to be important in determining the risk ...

Background: Bronchial asthma is a chronic respiratory problem characterized by reversible hyper-responsive airway obstruction that provoked allergens, infections, or nonspecific triggers. The study aims to assess the coexistence of atopy and allergies among children with asthma.Methods: This single-center was conducted at Mohamed El-Amin H. Hospital, Sudan. A free online sample size calculator ...

Bronchiectasis is common in developing countries, but its precise underlying mechanism can be detected in only about 40% of the cases. The studies reporting the frequency of atopy and its relation to radiological findings and lung function in bronchiectasis are limited in number, and the results are controversial. The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between atopy and ...

We followed 183 infants for two years, 31 of whom were breast fed less than three and a half months (median 70 days; short breast feeding group) and a further 31 of whom were exclusively breast fed for more than nine months (long breast feeding group). We assessed heredity for atopy, number of infections, and duration of breast feeding as determinants of atopy. During the first year of life 14 ...

Both atopy and bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) are characteristic features of asthma. They are also found among non-asthmatic subjects, including allergic rhinitis patients and the general population. Atopy and BHR in asthma are closely related. Atopy induces airway inflammation as an IgE response to a specific allergen, which causes or amplifies BHR. Moreover, significant evidence of the c...
