    Abstract Epinephrine is life-saving and the only first-line medication in the management of anaphylaxis. At therapeutic doses, it acts rapidly to reverse nearly all symptoms of anaphylaxis, and stabilize mast cells. The standard approved doses administered intramuscularly in the lateral thigh have a long track record for safe and effective use, but more information is needed on epinephrine pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics to ensure that current dosing strategies are optimal. Epinephrine should be administered promptly once anaphylaxis is suspected, to minimize morbidity and mortality. Providers on the front-line for managing patients with life-threatening allergic reactions need clear parameters and tools to guide the appropriate use of epinephrine, which take into account the potential evolution of symptoms and signs over time. All patients at risk for anaphylaxis should carry 2 epinephrine autoinjectors and be taught and able to demonstrate how to use them. Epinephrine autoinjectors need to be affordable, readily available, and easy for patients with allergies to carry and use. Furthermore, these devices should be available to meet the needs of all patients, from small infants through large or obese adults. The ideal means for storing and delivering epinephrine in prehospital and hospital environments warrants further study, to determine how to best balance efficiency, safety, and costs.

    Abstract Background: Prompt and correct use of epinephrine for treating anaphylaxis is considered essential in reducing the risk of fatal outcomes from anaphylaxis. Nevertheless, prehospital use of epinephrine remains low. Although asthma is a common comorbidity in individuals experiencing severe allergic reactions, little attention has been given to whether asthma functions as a predictor of prehospital epinephrine administration.
    Objective: To perform a scoping review of the extant literature on using epinephrine to manage anaphylaxis in patients with comorbid asthma before presenting to the emergency department.
    Methods: Per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Scoping Review guidelines, peer-reviewed articles published in English or French were searched for within the Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Embase databases between June 11 and June 18, 2021. We excluded studies that did not contain primary data.
    Results: The literature search yielded 1022 articles that were screened at the title and abstract level by 2 independent reviewers. Of these, 90 (8.8%) advanced to full-text review, and ultimately, 8 studies (0.8% of all articles; 8.9% of full-text articles) were included in the analysis. Overall, the association between comorbid asthma and epinephrine use in the prehospital setting for managing anaphylaxis was inconsistently reported in the literature. Three studies reported a positive association, whereas 2 others suggested a link, but their results were no longer significant when controlling for other study variables. Three studies described no significant association.
    Conclusion: Although asthma is frequently comorbid in individuals experiencing anaphylaxis, the association between comorbid asthma and prehospital epinephrine treatment rates remains an understudied area of patient care.

    Abstract Background: Food allergy affects 7-8% of children worldwide. Teachers supervise children in school, where most children spend their day. Yet, teachers have variable food allergy-related knowledge.
    Objective: We aimed to identify how Winnipeg-based elementary school teachers manage food allergy and prevent food-triggered allergic reactions in their classrooms and schools.
    Methods: Kindergarten-Grade 6 public and private school teachers, from Winnipeg, Canada, were interviewed virtually upon providing written informed consent. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The study followed a pragmatic framework. Data were analysed via thematic analysis by multiple researchers.
    Results: We interviewed 16 teachers, who primarily identified as female (87.5%). Most teachers worked in public schools (87.5%) and, on average, had 5.8 years of teaching experience. We identified four themes within the data. Most teachers (68.9%) had direct or indirect experience with food allergy. Theme 1 described the minimal standardization and inconsistent enforcement of food allergy policies between and within schools. Teachers also had varied food allergy knowledge. Theme 2 reflected teachers' variable confidence/perceived knowledge towards food allergy management, including feeling of stress and anxiety. Theme 3 captured the lack of standardized food allergy education for teachers, and concerns about the adequacy of the current provincial program. Theme 4 described how teachers spoke of relying on other school staff, families and students to have effective communication.
    Conclusion: Teachers' food allergy management was informed by their knowledge and lived experience, guided by their school policies and individualized students' needs. Teachers identified gaps in knowledge and communication, and desired more training and resources.

    Abstract Objective: Breastfeeding is associated with reduced postpartum depression, stronger parent-child relationships, and fewer behavioral disorders in early childhood. We tested the mediating roles of postpartum depression and parent-child relationship in the association between breastfeeding practices and child behavior.
    Study design: We used standardized questionnaire data from a subset of the CHILD Cohort Study (n = 1,573) to measure postpartum depression at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years, parent-child relationship 1 year and 2 years, and child behavior at 5 years using the Child Behavior Checklist (range 0-100). Breastfeeding practices were measured at 3 months (none, partial, some expressed, all direct at the breast), 6 months (none, partial, exclusive), 12 months, and 24 months (no, yes). Confounders included birth factors, maternal characteristics, and socioeconomic status.
    Results: Breast milk feeding at 3 or 6 months was associated with - 1.13 (95% CI: -2.19-0.07) to -2.14 (95% CI: -3.46, -0.81) lower (better) child behavior scores. Reduced postpartum depression at 6 months mediated between 11.5% and 16.6% of the relationship between exclusive breast milk feeding at 3 months and better child behavior scores. Together, reduced postpartum depression at 1 year and reduced parent-child dysfunction at 2 years mediated between 21.9% and 32.1% of the relationship between breastfeeding at 12 months and better child behavior scores.
    Conclusion: Postpartum depression and parent-child relationship quality partially mediate the relationship between breastfeeding practices and child behavior. Breastfeeding, as well as efforts to support parental mental health and parent-child relationships, may help to improve child behavior.

    Abstract Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease in both pediatric and adult populations. The development of AD has been linked to antibiotic usage, which causes perturbation of the microbiome and has been associated with abnormal immune system function. However, imbalances in the gut microbiome itself associated with antibiotic usage have been inconsistently linked to AD.
    Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the timing and specific factors mediating the relationship between systemic (oral or intravenous) antibiotic usage and AD.
    Methods: We used statistical modelling and differential analysis to link CHILD participants' history of antibiotic usage and early-life gut microbiome alterations to atopic dermatitis.
    Results: Here we report that systemic antibiotics during the first year of life, as compared to later, are associated with AD risk (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.81 [95% CI = 1.28 - 2.57], p < 0.001), with an increased number of antibiotic courses corresponding to a dose-response-like increased risk of AD risk (1 course: aOR = 1.67 [95% CI = 1.17 - 2.38]; 2 or more courses: aOR = 2.16 [95% CI = 1.30 - 3.59]). Further, we demonstrate that microbiome alterations associated with both AD and systemic antibiotic usage fully mediate the effect of antibiotic usage on the development of AD (β
    Conclusion: Our findings indicate that early-life antibiotic usage, especially in the first year of life, modulates key gut microbiome components that may be used as markers to predict and possibly prevent the development of AD.
