Life-course socioeconomic status and lung function in adulthood
Objective This study aims to investigate the association of life-course socioeconomic status (SES) with lung function during adulthood, by exploring the influence of life-course social mobility and of cumulative exposure to low SES. Methods Participants were 1458 individuals from EPIPorto study, a population-based cohort of Portuguese adults. The life-course SES was computed using participants’ paternal occupation and own occupation, resulting in…
Anisakis simplex as a risk factor for relapsing acute urticaria
BACKGROUND: IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions to Anisakis simplex have been described after ingestion of fish, suggesting that sensitisation to this parasite may induce acute urticaria and anaphylaxis. Anisakis simplex allergens are highly resistant to heat and freezing, and sensitisation may occur even in populations with low consumption of raw/undercooked fish. This study aimed to quantify the association between sensitisation to A. simpl…
