“…Withdrawal and cold/distant social functioning described in AAv have been linked to alexithymia (a multifaceted personality construct described as “a lack of words to express emotions”) . This is consistent with our previous studies finding higher levels of alexithymia in youth with food allergy …”

“…This is in line with previous studies finding attachment insecurity in a variety of chronic diseases . Individuals with food allergy seem to share with other chronic patients the tendency to use avoidant strategies to cope with disease‐related repeated stressors . Avoidance is characterized by appearance of confident self‐reliance, minimal self‐disclosure, mistrust in others and cognitive distancing from emotions, denial and distraction in the face of stress …”

“…Although this cross‐sectional study does not allow addressing the direction of the association between food allergy and levels of AAv, it adds to an emerging evidence base around the hypothesis that distress and psychosocial burden imposed by allergic disorders might adversely impact on attitudes to close interpersonal relationships in patients. We suppose that AAv and food allergy are mainly linked through deficits in emotion regulation and/or reduced ability to cope effectively with stress, but alternative pathways should be explored. Mechanisms underlying these associations need to be further investigated.…”

“…Recognizing the specific role of affect regulation in health behaviors may constitute an important step in supporting patients to explore more adaptive strategies. 40 Clinicians should be aware of the implications of insecure attachment for health and illness. They should support patients in limiting social impairment finding a balance between safety and psychologic well-being.…”

This review highlights research advances and important achievements in food allergy, anaphylaxis, and drug allergy that were published in the Journals of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) in 2017. Food allergy and anaphylaxis research have continued to rapidly accelerate, with increasing numbers of outstanding developments in 2017. We saw new studies on the mechanisms, diagnosis, prevention of food allergy, and novel food allergens. Drug hypersensitivity, as well as hereditary angioedema, has been highlighted in the present review as the focus of recent developments. The EAACI owns three journals: Allergy, Pediatric Allergy and Immunology (PAI), and Clinical and Translational Allergy (CTA). One of the major goals of the EAACI is to support health promotion in which prevention of allergy and asthma plays a critical role and to disseminate the knowledge of allergy to all stakeholders including the EAACI junior members. This paper summarizes the achievements of 2017 in anaphylaxis, and food and drug allergy. K E Y W O R D Sanaphylaxis, drug allergy, food allergy, hypersensitivity

A selective and sensitive nanosensor for fluorescent detection of specific IgEs to purified allergens in human serum

Food allergies are increasingly recognized as a major healthcare concern. In order to sensitively and specifically detect allergies from blood samples of at-risk allergic patients, an effective magnetic fluorescence sensing platform (EMFP) was constructed. The EMFP incorporated hollow mesoporous silica nanospheres (HMNs) to amplify signal from the target IgE in addition to magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to capture and separate the target IgE. The application of EMFP to immunoassays indicated a detection limit of 0.0159 ng mL À1 for low concentration specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) against purified shellfish Metapenaeus ensis (Meta. E.) allergens, which is 15 fold more sensitive than the commercially available Food and Drug Administration-approved analyzers. Notably, EMFP was specific for the targeted sIgE even with interference by other sIgEs. In addition, the detection time is only 75 min, considerably faster than current commercial ELISA kits for IgE assays. Together, these results demonstrated that EMFP has excellent sensitivity and selectivity for the rapid detection of sIgE. The method thus exhibits potential toward the rapid monitoring of sIgE against Meta. E. allergens in clinical application.
