ImmunologyApril 2014Advances in Anaphylaxis Management
by Denise Anne Moneret-Vautrin
Anaphylaxis is an acute, life-threatening allergic reaction that is now recognized as a global health problem. Observed at all ages, its prevalence is strikingly increasing in the pediatric population, and lethal risk may be underestimated owing to a lack of diagnosis in fatal cases with rapid onset, and the absence of a specific code in the International Classification of Diseases. The nine chapters of this book provide a state-of-the-art overview, exploring the causes and manifestations of anaphylaxis and highlighting issues in diagnosis, prevention, monitoring and management.

Cookery for specific diets & conditionsApril 2020Everyone's Welcome
The Art of Living and Eating Allergen Free
by Amanda Orlando
Based on her experiences with anaphylaxis and living in a family with multiple food allergies, author Amanda Orlando grew up with few resources about coping with anaphylaxis both in her own kitchen and in other’s. Through years of self-education, Amanda collected recipes, found substitutions, and food brands to suit her requirements. Having previously published another cookbook for allergen-free desserts, and a popular online platform through her blog and writing projects, Amanda is eager to further share her knowledge and experiences. It’s resources like these that she wished she had while growing up. The recipes in Everyone's Welcome dispel the myth that allergen-free foods are also flavour-free and fun-free. The allergens that each recipe is free from are clearly listed. Ranging from breakfast to dinner, and quick snacks, there is something for everyone. The simplicity of the recipes will suit readers who are on the go, such as students, busy parents, professionals, and those with little time to cook. Recipes will be accompanied by Amanda’s stunning photography. Recent statistics show that in the United States, 8% of children have food allergies, and among that number, almost 40% have a history of severe allergic reactions to food and 30% have multiple food allergies. In Canada, food allergies are present in 10% of children in urban areas, and 6% who are in rural areas. Food allergies are on the rise, and this book will be increasingly useful not just to immediate sufferers, but to their family, their friends, coworkers, teachers, and camp counsellors; it’s a book for all ages.
