The economic foundations of powersharing: Evidence from Africa

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract How—and with whom—do rulers share power? Existing research focuses on the strategic logic of powersharing. In this paper, we analyze its economic foundations. Powersharing is modeled as a subnational fiscal contract, in which rulers allocate political representation based on constituencies’ revenue potential. Empirically, we combine historical

The Evolution of Sesame Seed Allergy Over Time

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
This study analyzes the natural history of sesame over time and the changes in biomarkers between sesame allergic and sesame sensitised but tolerant children. The period prevalence of sesame allergy increased from 0.5% between 12 and 36 m to 1.5% between 7 and 12 y children in the EAT‐On study with 10 children developing new sesame allergy. Sesame‐sIgE

Navigating Oral Food Challenges in Clinical Trials to Keep the Science Moving Forward

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The oral food challenge (OFC) has long been the reference standard for food allergy diagnosis, as well as to confirm natural development of oral tolerance. The utilization of OFCs has significantly broadened from its role in defining disease to defining participant eligibility, individual allergen reactivity thresholds and treatment outcomes ...

Optimising the Diagnosis of Sesame Seed Allergy With the Basophil Activation Test

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
The basophil activation test (using the activation marker CD203c) was the only test able to both exclude and confirm sesame seed allergy with precision. A negative skin prick test to sesame extract or tahini and undetectable IgE to Ses i 1 could not rule out sesame seed allergy.

Longer Asthma Duration Is Associated With Elevated Non‐T2 Sputum Biomarkers and Reduced T2 Inflammation in Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Longer asthma duration is associated with increased airway non‐T2 inflammation and reduced airway and systemic T2 inflammation. Sputum CXCL9 is independently associated with duration and may predict a reduced poor response to anti‐IL‐4Rα therapy. Airway sampling and combined T2 and non‐T2 targeted strategies may be needed in long‐standing asthma. CXCL9,

Basophils in Immunity: Activation Pathways, Roles in Allergy and AllergoOncology and Application of the Basophil Activation Test

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basophils, the least abundant leukocytes, are increasingly recognised as potent immunomodulators. Upon activation, they rapidly release preformed granule‐associated mediators including histamine and lipid mediators such as LTC4, while cytokine production occurs over a longer timescale, contributing to downstream immune responses.
