Non-Injectable Epinephrine

21/07/2025

The SYSTEMAATIC Project seeks to transform care for individuals affected by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress. Using cutting-edge precision medicine and multidisciplinary approaches, the project aims to develop a novel Toxic Stress Assessment Profile. This tool will integrate biological, psychological, and community health data to identify and address disruptions in the neurologic, endocrine, and immune (NEI) systems caused by toxic stress.

The study's funding agency, the California Initiative to Advance Precision Medicine (CIAPM), recently visited the Sean N. Parker Center to review the progress of the SYSTEMAATIC Project.

This meeting served as an opportunity to discuss the study’s methodology, current findings, and the ongoing development of the Toxic Stress Assessment Profile. Additionally, the visit facilitated a collaborative discussion on future milestones, potential challenges, and strategies to enhance the study’s impact on advancing precision medicine and reducing health disparities.
This engagement reaffirmed the importance of our partnership in achieving the study’s goals and delivering meaningful outcomes for underserved communities.

Families Navigating Food Allergies

14/07/2025

Hope for Children With Peanut Allergy

A recent study has shown that adding dupilumab to peanut oral immunotherapy (OIT) can help more children build tolerance to peanuts, offering a boost in managing peanut allergies. While the benefit is modest and doesn’t prevent severe allergic reactions, it may help kids safely tolerate higher amounts of peanuts! 🧒🏻👧🏼

🔑 Key Takeaways:
✔️ Increased tolerance to peanuts in the up-dosing phase
✔️ Well tolerated with a known safety profile
✔️ Some lasting benefits even after treatment stops
✔️ Doesn’t eliminate the risk of anaphylaxis

This research is a step forward for families dealing with life-threatening peanut allergies. Always consult your doctor to see what’s best for your child’s health and treatment plan!

🌍 It’s World Allergy Week 2025, and this year’s focus is on anaphylaxis - a life-threatening allergic reaction that requires fast action.

Here’s how to stay prepared for anaphylaxis:

✅ Always carry an epinephrine auto-injector

✅ Know your triggers

✅ Educate friends, family, and schools

✅ Wear a medical ID

✅ Have an emergency action plan

Anaphylaxis is serious — but with the right knowledge and tools, it can be managed.

How to Use an Epinephrine Auto-Injector 👇

Knowing how to act quickly in an allergic emergency can save a life.

Here’s a simple 3-step guide:

1️⃣ Blue to the sky (remove the blue safety cap)

2️⃣ Orange to the thigh (firmly push into the mid-outer thigh)

3️⃣ Hold for 3 seconds (then remove and massage area)

✅ Can be used through clothes

✅ Call emergency services immediately after use

✅ Always carry 2 pens if prescribed

Share this to help others be ready for anaphylaxis.

It’s World Allergy Week 2025!

Led by the World Allergy Organization (WAO), this global awareness week shines a spotlight on anaphylaxis, a serious, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that requires urgent care.

WAO and its partners worldwide are hosting educational events, sharing resources, and promoting better understanding of allergy risks and responses. Let’s help spread the word and support greater allergy awareness everywhere.

When Allergies Mimic Viral Symptoms

30/06/2025

Food allergies are on the rise, but science is making strides toward better treatments and potentially a cure!

Here are some exciting breakthroughs to watch for:

1️⃣ Immunotherapy helps kids gradually tolerate allergens, but a cure is still a long way off.
2️⃣ Boiled peanuts & new protein targets are showing promise in peanut allergy treatments—less severe reactions during therapy!
3️⃣ Omalizumab, an FDA-approved drug for asthma, is now helping food allergy sufferers tolerate peanuts, milk, and eggs with fewer reactions.
4️⃣ Omalizumab + Immunotherapy combo is proving to be quicker and safer, offering hope for families managing food allergies.
5️⃣ Environmental factors like chemicals and processed foods may be fueling the rise in allergies—could addressing this lead to fewer cases?

We may not be there yet, but these advancements mean a brighter, safer future for those living with food allergies.
