Dogs at home and at the workplace: effects on allergies and mental health
SummarySince the beginning of domestication, the living conditions which are shared between humans and companion animals have changed dramatically.

Social disparities in early childhood prevention and management of food allergy
Food allergy (FA) affects 8% of US children. Navigating and managing FA permeates across multiple facets of childhood. In this article, we review research on social disparities in feeding practices, managing meals, and selecting childcare and schools. Key highlights include the following: (1) although preference for breast-feeding or formula feeding does not reduce FA risk, there are disparities in access to formula that may affect children with FA; (2) disparities likely exist in the early introduction to allergenic foods, though additional research is needed to identify barriers to following the most recent consensus gui...
