RESUMEN
For this month's edition of "From the Pages of AllergyWatch," I have chosen reviews of articles of interest to the clinical allergist. The first study found that wheezing infants with atopic sensitization at the time of the first wheezing episode was strongly associated with bronchial reactivity in childhood. The next review, of an article published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, investigated the complexity of atopic sensitization to foods in children with atopic dermatitis (AD). The final study confirms the determination of the US Environmental Protection Agency to the likely causal link between exposures to particulate matter and ozone and respiratory illness.
RESUMEN
For the September edition of From the Pages of AllergyWatch, I have chosen reviews of articles focusing on topics that affect shared decision making. The first study examines the fact that perceived triggers of asthma can affect the quality of life (QoL). The next report studied the importance of school experience, particularly the interaction with teachers and staff to help children manage their asthma. The last summary reviews a study analyzing the influence of socioeconomic differences affecting the higher prevalence and exacerbation rate for asthma in African American patients (Stanley Fineman, MD, Editor in Chief, Allergy Watch.).

A new Annals feature in 2018, "From the Pages of AllergyWatch" is devoted to publishing synopses of Allergy and Asthma literature relevant to a topic of emphasis. These unbiased synopses and comments by our Editors have been previously printed in the AllergyWatch bimonthly newsletter, and it is our hope that presenting carefully selected article summaries and comments in the Annals will serve as a valuable educational resource for practicing allergists.

RESUMEN
The articles reviewed in this month's edition of From the Pages of Allergy Watch were selected to coincide with the food allergy theme.

The article reviewed by Dr Khan investigates the usefulness of behavioral therapy intervention to help allay anxiety for parents of children with food allergy. The article reviewed by Dr Oppenheimer explores the immunologic mechanism associated with the development of tolerance in young children with cow's milk allergy. The last article reported accidental ingestions of foods that may or may not have been listed in the precautionary food label.

For this issue of 'From the Pages of Allergy Watch' articles are presented that coincide with the theme of this month's Annals. The first article addresses the impact of allergic rhinitis on work productivity in affected patients. The second article review data from a large number of children presenting to Canadian emergency departments with asthma exacerbations and the impact of certain viral pathogens. The last article reviewed investigates data showing that patients who 'run out' of asthma inhalers were more likely to present to the emergency room for their asthma care.
