* Clinical and immunological outcomes after randomized trial of baked milk oral immunotherapy for milk allergy. |
- BACKGROUNDCow's milk (CM) allergy is the most common food allergy in young children. Treatment with oral immunotherapy (OIT) has shown efficacy, but high rates of adverse reactions. The aim of this study was to determine whether baked milk OIT (BMOIT) could reduce adverse reactions while still inducing desensitization, and to identify immunological correlates of successful BMOIT.METHODSThis phase II, randomized trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of BMOIT in milk-allergic children 3-18 years old. After the initial placebo-controlled first year of treatment, placebo-treated participants crossed over to active BMOIT. Double-blind, placebo-controlled oral food challenges (OFCs) were conducted with BM after year 1 and to both BM and unheated milk (UM) after year 2. IgG and IgE antibodies were measured along with CM-specific (CM+) CD4+ memory T cell populations, profiled using flow cytometry and scRNA-Seq.RESULTSTwenty-one of 30 (70%) reached the primary endpoint of tolerating 4044 mg of BM protein at month 24, and 11 of 30 tolerated 2000 mg or more of UM protein. Dosing symptoms were common, but more than 98% were mild, with no severe reactions. Immunological changes associated with desensitization included increased CM IgG4, CM+ FOXP3+ cells, and Tregs and corresponding decreases in CM IgE, CM+ Th2A cells, and CD154+ cells. T cell and antibody measurements were combined to build a model that predicted UM OFC outcomes.CONCLUSIONBMOIT was well tolerated and induced desensitization to BM and UM. This desensitization corresponded to redistribution within antigen-specific antibody and T cell compartments that provided insight into the mechanistic changes that occur with OIT treatment.TRIAL REGISTRATIONClinicalTrials.gov NCT03462030.FUNDING: Myra Reinhardt Family Foundation (grant number 128388), NIH/NIAID (U19AI135731, T32AI125179, S10OD025052). |

* Factors influencing recurrence in clubfoot treatment with the Ponseti method in children under 5 years of age: a scoping review. |
- Clubfoot (CF) is one of the most common musculoskeletal congenital abnormalities. Despite having optimal methods for its treatment, factors associated with the recurrence of CF treatment continue to be a topic of interest. The aim of this study was to perform a scoping review of the existing literature on factors associated with the recurrence of CF following treatment with the Ponseti method in children under 5 years of age. A scoping literature review was conducted in March 2024 using PubMed and Embase databases, and a structured research strategy. Screening of articles was performed by independent reviewers to ensure the inclusion of all pertinent studies. Considering inclusion and exclusion criteria, a final of 18 articles were included which encompassed factors associated with the recurrence of CF after treatment with the Ponseti method. The Ponseti method has demonstrated a high success rate in achieving CF correction. Various factors come into play regarding favorable outcomes and recurrence cases. The identified factors were initial severity scores for CF, age at the beginning of treatment, correct identification of idiopathic CF and complex CF, neuromuscular imbalance, poor nutritional status, noncompliance for the brace use, and the availability of a specialized attention center that ensured proper Ponseti method application and treatment adherence. Our findings highlight the importance of identifying different factors associated with the recurrence of CF following treatment with the Ponseti method, where timely intervention could minimize the risk of recurrence and achieve favorable outcomes. |
