Article Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to systematically review and summarize epidemiological evidence on the relationship between allergic diseases and migraine outcomes.

Methods: This meta-analysis, which was registered with PROSPERO (CRD420250656492), employed data from PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and references from the studies included in the review. The search encompassed literature from the inception of these databases through February 24, 2025. We included observational studies investigating the association between allergic diseases and migraine. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS). Pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated using a random-effects model.

Results: A total of 10 studies encompassing 14,952,953 participants were included. The overall risk for migraine in patients with allergic diseases was 1.52 (95% CI: 1.40-1.65). Specifically, the meta-analysis revealed an OR for atopic dermatitis of 1.27 (1.17-1.38), 1.49 (95% CI 1.32-1.68) for asthma, 2.16 (95% CI 1.43-3.24) for allergic rhinitis, and 1.74 (95% CI 1.43-2.10) for allergic conjunctivitis.

Conclusion: The current meta-analysis suggests that allergic diseases are associated with an increased risk of developing migraines. However, further large-scale prospective cohort studies are required to validate the proposed association, considering the considerable heterogeneity observed in our analyses.

Background: Organic chemicals have been known to cause allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis; however, the possibility that they do not cause irreversible pulmonary fibrosis has not been considered. Polyacrylic acid (PAA), an organic chemical, has caused irreversible progressive pulmonary fibrosis in exposed workers, indicating its potential to induce pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. Although intratracheal instillation studies are commonly used for evaluating lung pathology, traditional methods face challenges with chemical substances, particularly nanoparticles, which tend to aggregate in suspension and prevent uniform pulmonary distribution.

Sex differences in childhood atopic disease and the role of sex-steroid metabolites.

Background: Studies have described sex differences in childhood asthma, allergy, and atopic dermatitis, but the development and clinical phenotype of these differences remain poorly understood.

Objective: To characterize sex differences in atopic disease throughout childhood and study the potential role of sex-steroid metabolites.

Methods: We examined sex differences in asthma, allergy, and atopic dermatitis using longitudinal generalized estimating equation models in the COPSAC (n=411) and COPSAC (n=700) birth cohorts.

Prediction and Characterization of Genetically-Regulated Expression of Asthma Tissues from African-Ancestry Populations.

Background: Genetic control of gene expression in asthma-related tissues is not well-characterized, particularly for African-ancestry populations, limiting advancement in our understanding of the increased prevalence and severity of asthma in those populations.

Objective: To create novel transcriptome prediction models for asthma tissues (nasal epithelium and CD4+ T cells) and apply them in transcriptome-wide association study to discover candidate asthma genes.

Methods: We developed and validated gene expression prediction databases for unstimulated CD4+ T cells and nasal epithelium using an elastic net framework.

The emergence of big data and analytic approaches initiated research efforts to characterise different subtypes of allergic diseases, including tracking disease progression and identifying patterns that may offer insight into their development and progression. Triangulation from different data sources and study types may help to elucidate the directionality of relationships between variables at a very individual level by modelling the complex interdependencies between multiple dimensions (e.g.

Objective: To describe the impact of severe asthma in a real-life cohort in Brazil, reporting on baseline clinical characteristics, access to treatment, and clinical remission under treatment with biologics.

Methods: Severe asthma patients > 6 years of age were recruited from 23 centers in Brazil. Data on clinical characteristics, lung function, biomarkers, prescribed therapies, and clinical remission under treatment were collected at the baseline visit.
