ASCIA's Mission is to "advance the science and practice of clinical immunology and allergy, by promoting education and the highest standard of ethical medical practice." [1] ASCIA was formed in 1991 by the merging of the Australian College of Allergy with the Australasian Society of Immunology Clinical Immunology Group. [1]
Allergen immunotherapy, also known as desensitization or hypo-sensitization, is a medical treatment for environmental allergies (such as insect bites) and asthma. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Immunotherapy involves exposing people to larger and larger amounts of allergens in an attempt to change the immune system's response.
Autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA), or Shoenfeld's syndrome, is a hypothesised autoimmune disorder proposed by Israeli immunologist Yehuda Shoenfeld in 2011. [1]
The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI) is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal covering research on allergy and immunology. It is one of three official journals of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. [1] The journal was established in 1929 as the Journal of Allergy and obtained its current name in 1971.
Minimisation is a method of adaptive stratified sampling that is used in clinical trials, as described by Pocock and Simon. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The aim of minimisation is to minimise the imbalance between the number of patients in each treatment group over a number of factors.
Allergies are an abnormal immune reaction. The human immune system is designed to protect the body from potential harm and in people who have allergies the immune system will react to allergens (substances that trigger an immune response). The immune system will produce immunoglobulin E, IgE, antibodies for each allergen.
The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) is a non-profit organisation for European clinicians, researchers and allied health professionals in the field of allergy and clinical immunology, covering asthma, rhinitis, eczema and occupational allergy, food and drug allergy, severe anaphylactic reactions, autoimmune disorders, and immunodeficiencies.
The journal was established in 1943 under the name Annals of Allergy, obtaining its current name in 1995. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The journal is published by Elsevier on behalf of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology , of which it is the official journal.
