- The role of the mast cell in the pathophysiology of asthma. (2006, background): “For example, not only might it clarify why many atopic patients do not have asthma but also it could explain why the presence of asthma is such a strong risk factor for death from anaphylaxis and allergen desensitization.(12)”
- Clinical Efficacy and Immune Regulation With Peanut Oral Immunotherapy (2009, background): “Peanuts and tree nuts account for the vast majority of life-threatening or fatal reactions to foods.(4,5) Currently, the primary treatment for peanut allergy is a peanut-free diet and ready access to self-injectable epinephrine and antihistamines.”

(2012, background): “Although foods are rarely important triggers of asthma exacerbation, coexisting asthma is a strong risk factor for more severe food-induced allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), as well as for a fatal outcome from food-induced anaphylaxis.(11,12,67) Asthma is also a risk factor for longer persistence of”
