Abstract

Cesarean section affects the process of colonization by bacteria transferred from the mother's skin and hospital bacteria, which in turn contributes to development of allergic conditions. To assess selected risk factors, including the mode of delivery, parity, and the role of genetic factors for the development of allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma. The study was conducted in 18,617 respondents aged 6-7, 13-14, and 20-44 years who completed the ECRHS II and ISSAC questionnaires. Thirty percent of the study population underwent complementary assessments in the form of skin-prick tests, serum IgE levels, lung function tests, and peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF). The study is a part of the Epidemiology of Allergic Disorders in Poland (ECAP) study conducted in 8 areas in Poland (Warsaw, Lublin, Bialystok, Gdansk, Poznan, Wroclaw, Katowice, Krakow, and two rural areas - Zamosc and Krasnystaw counties). Respondents diagnosed with allergic rhinitis were at a significantly higher risk of inheriting the allergic condition if their mother (OR = 2.17; 95% CI: 1.98-2.39, p = 2.00 × 10-16) or father (OR = 2.20; 95% CI: 1.96-2.47; p = 2.00 × 10-16) suffers from this allergy. Conversely, in the group diagnosed with bronchial asthma, the...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergies & Environmental Factors

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
