Advances in technology are changing the future of medicine.

In this October, we are having the most important allergy festival in Asia-Pacific region - the Joint Congress of Asia Pacific Association of Allergy, Asthma, and Clinical Immunology (APAAACI) and Asia Pacific Association of Pediatric Allergy, Respiratory, and Immunology in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (October 17–20, 2016, http://www.apaaaci-kl2016.org). Joint Congress will be hosted by the Malaysian Society of Allergy and Immunology. The Era of Allergy: Local and Global Insights and Intervention is the main theme which will make the congress scientifically meaningful. There will be special sessions such as commemorating 50 years since discovery of IgE. It is remarkable that new International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-11 beta phase structure Allergic and hypersensitivity section has been constructed as a result of a detailed and careful action plan based on scientific evidences for the necessity of changes and collaboration with the World Health Organization ICD-11 revision governance [1]. APAAACI is supporting this international collaboration with the World Allergy Organization, the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology, the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, the Latin American Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, and the American College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology [2,3]. Readers of this issue will find an original article on the mapping of ICD-10 allergic and hypersensitivity conditions in the ICD-11 beta phase structure [1]. Readers of this issue will also find a review article on allergen-specific immunotherapy in pediatric allergic asthma [4] and an original article on the mixed house dust mite and weed pollen extract immunotherapy [5]. Immunotherapy with a history of more than 100 years still works for allergy patients. As radiocontrast media (RCM) media induced hypersensitivity is an unpredictable adverse drug reaction, prevention of the recurrence is one of the key components of the management [6]. Avoidance is the best if possible. When you order computed tomography scans using RCM, it is important to find out those who had a history of RCM induced hypersensitivity reactions. A clinical decision supporting system embedded in the electronic medical record system may help [7]. If it is impossible to avoid the use of RCM, the preventive measures are used, for example, 50 mg of oral prednisolone at 13 hours, 7 hours and an hour before injection of RCM, and 4 mg of chlorpheniramine at an hour before the injection if a patient has previous history of severe immediate type RCM hypersensitivity [6]. What about mild cases such as simple urticaria? In this issue, Lee et al. [8] report the efficacy of single premedication with antihistamines for RCM hypersensitivity. Advances in technology are changing the future of medicine. Clinical decision supporting systems have been developed to help clinicians make informed management decisions [7,9]. platform of the clinical decision supporting system has been evolved from simple algorithms to artificial intelligence with neural networking systems. Most recently Watson, the IBM supercomputer, has collaborated with several cancer care providers to help clinicians make informed treatment decisions [10]. In this issue, Kim et al. [11] from Korea report the feasibility of a smartphone application based action plan and monitoring in asthma. According to this article, the patients were satisfied with the information from the smartphone application that they've got right on time. It also showed some beneficial effects such as enhanced adherence. This application was developed by a university hospital. As described in the article [11], a study showed most of applications among 103 applications provided inaccurate information but only 32 applications provided strategies for asthma control. Thus the role of physicians is very important in the development of medical applications. Collaborations between medicine and computer or information science are essential. Readers will find an interesting study of a birth cohort from Singapore on the relationship between all fevers or fever after vaccination and atopy or atopic diseases at 18 and 36 months of age [12] and a study on the elderly asthma from Thailand [13]. This issue of Asia Pacific Allergy also contains an educational case report on allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis [14] and a unique case of marking nut anaphylaxis [15].

48th Conference of the International Federation of Knitting Technologists (IFKT)

Susanne Aumann, Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, GermanyAndrea Ehrmann, Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, GermanyMarcus O. Weber, Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, GermanyPrefaceDuring June 09-10th 2016 the “48th International Congress of the International Federation of Knitting Technologists (IFKT)” coincided with IFKTs’ 60th anniversary. The Congress was held together with the national conference of the Research Institute for Textile and Clothing from the Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology, Mönchengladbach “MG Open Spaces” and the “Members’ Conference of the Verein Deutscher Textilveredlungsfachleute (VDTF)” (an association of experts in the field of textile finishing). The whole event lasted from 09 until 11th June 2016 and took place in Mönchengladbach and Cologne, Germany. More than 220 people from universities, companies and other fields out of 15 different nations participated in the congressThe congress program consisted of seven keynote speakers, 45 oral presentations in 7 sections, 11 open spaces workshops in English and German, including a special workshop at Monforts’ Advanced Technology Center (ATC) on “Knitting Concepts”. Furthermore, a design showroom and a poster session were part of the program.This issue of the IOP Conference Series, Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), records papers of the Congress selected by the Congress Scientific Committee. Additional and further papers, information, articles as well as presentations were submitted to the participants after the Congress by download option.Without the tremendous efforts and dedication of many people from all parties involved in both the planning and organization, the joint congress would have been impossible. We express also our thanks to the impressive team of reviewers, authors and presenters for their contributions to the success of this event. We also thank our sponsors very much for their generous support.We invite all participants to the next Congresses of IFKT (please see www.knittingfed.com).Prof. Dr. Marcus O. WeberNiederrhein University, Mönchengladbach, Germany Secretary General of IFKT

The era of allergy.

It is very true that we are living in 'the Era of Allergy'. Era of Allergy: Local and Global Insights and Intervention is the main theme of the Joint Congress of Asia Pacific Association of Allergy, Asthma, and Clinical Immunology (APAAACI) and Asia Pacific Association of Pediatric Allergy, Respiratory, and Immunology (APAPARI) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia during 17th–20th October, 2016 (http://www.apaaaci-kl2016.org). We believe that you can enjoy the state-of-art clinical knowledge and science on allergy, friendship, and the culture of Malaysia during the Joint Congress. Please save the date (early registration until 30th June, 2016)! Drug allergy is increasing as the use of medications increases [1]. What does make drugs recognized as allergens? Yun et al. [2] describe a very nice review article on T-cell-mediated drug hypersensitivity starting from the classical hapten/pro-hapten theory and the danger hypothesis to the pharmacological interaction with immune receptors (p-i) concept and the altered peptide repertoire hypothesis. Readers will also enjoy the current data and the possible mechanisms on the association of HLA alleles and drug hypersensitivity reactions. In this issue of Asia Pacific Allergy, readers will find an article from central China on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of drug allergy among healthcare practitioners [3]. The authors describe the data from the questionnaire survey and conclude that the education is urgently needed to fill the gap between the current knowledge and the real clinical practice on drug allergy. Allergic rhinitis could be the most common allergic disease of which trends can be traced with Google trends search [4]. Readers will find an article from the Philippines on the Attitudes, practices on allergic rhinitis of three socioeconomic classes of Filipinos in the National Capital Region [5]. Lei et al. [6] described that obesity was a risk factor for allergic rhinitis in children of Wuhan, China. Readers also find a letter from Finland that need for medication and stuffy nose predicted the severity of allergic rhinitis from the comparison of the severity of symptoms using the numeric rating score and the Rhinasthma questionnaire [7]. Asthma can also affect all ages although its prevalence is especially high in childhood and in the elderly [8]. Asthma is important for its prevalence but also for the socioeconomic burden especially according to the severit y and the exacerbations [9,10]. Bathing is an important life style. Some of our patients complain of the exacerbations of asthma symptoms while others say that they feel comfortable when they are taking a bath. Could the humidity and temperature affect the symptoms of asthma while taking a bath? Very interestingly, K amimura et al. [11] conducted an observational study to investigate changes in symptoms and their degree by bathing in asthmatic patients. Atopic dermatitis itself is important for its prevalence and the burden of disease but also important as the initial manifestations of allergic diseases in many patients. Environmental exposure to peanut, such as in house dust, especially with an impaired skin barrier attributed to atopic dermatitis and loss of function mutations in the filaggrin gene, could be a risk factor for sensitization and allergy [12]. In this issue, readers will find a review article on the role of moisturizers for atopic dermatitis with some consensus in our region [13]. Food allergy has been referred to as the second wave of the allergy epidemic and has been an important allergic disease with common food allergens but also some unique food allergens in our region [14]. Murad et al. [15] report a case study of apple seed and grape allergy with sensitisation to non-specific lipid transfer protein from Australia. When you see the patients of allergic diseases, it is very important to take a history on occupation. Asia is a populous and diverse region with various kinds of occupations. In this issue, readers will find a comparative study on the sensitization to silk allergen among workers of silk filatures in India [16].

Great learning, much networking, and friendship.

Asia Pacific Allergy, the official journal of Asia Pacific Association of Allergy, Asthma, and Clinical Immunology (APAAACI), is proud of being one of the media partners of World Allergy Congress (WAC) 2015 in Seoul, Korea, which was very successful congress: great learning, much networking, and friendship in the Asia Pacific region and beyond. APAAACI also successfully held a sister society symposium during WAC 2015: important but neglected issues in allergy. The topics were 'eosinophilic esophagitis, gastroenteritis and colitis', 'angioedema without ur ticaria', and 'important but neglected food allergens: lessons from Asia'. Next year, we will have the most important congress in our region: the Joint Congress of APAAACI and Asia Pacific Association of Pediatric Allergy, Respiratory, and Immunology (APAPARI) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia during 18th-20th October, 2016 (http://www.apaaaci-kl2016.org). We are ready to invite participants from all over the world. International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is the global health information standard to capture mortality and morbidity statistics maintained by the World Health Organization (WHO) [1]. ICD 10th edition (ICD-10) is currently used by the majority of countries all around the world except some countries such as the United States and Australia which use the 9th edition [1]. However, the allergic and hypersensitivity conditions are not adequately classified and coded in the ICD-10 [2]. An international collaboration of Allergy Academies including first the World Allergy Organization, the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology and the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology has been coordinating tremendous efforts since 2013 to provide a better classification of these disorders in the new ICD-11 [1]. APAAACI as well as the Latin American Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, and the American College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology joined the international collaboration for its importance. Tanno et al. [1] describe the journey to make the allergic and hypersensitivity conditions visible in the ICD-11 beta draft and the need of changes in the ICD framework. Readers of this journal will find the original articles on the treatment adherence and quality of life among adults with chronic urticaria in Singapore [3], and the attitudes, practices on allergic rhinitis of generalists and specialists in Philippine National Capital Region [4]. The readers will also find the first study on the pattern of anaphylaxis in Saudi Arabia [5] and the interleukin-10 and interleukin-5 balance in patients with active asthma, those in remission, and healthy controls from Japan, which showed a similar result from a murine asthma model of immunotherapy [6]. This issue contains an educational case report of serum sickness reaction with skin involvement induced by bee venom injection therapy from Korea [7], and a pilot study on the use of Yin Qiao San in children with conventional antipyretic hypersensitivity from Singapore [8]. Both of the articles are dealing with 'the traditional or complementary medicine and allergy' in our region.

Notes for Notes

Notes for Notes Mark McKnight The University of North Texas Music Library and College of Music recently acquired a significant collection of vocal jazz-related materials from the late Grammy-winning arranger and vocalist Gene Puerling. The collection, donated by Puerling’s widow, Helen, includes arrangements by Puerling from his earliest days in the 1940s until his death in 2008, as well as instrumental accompaniments by Frank Comstock, Patrick Williams, Roger Kellaway, Rob McConnell, Les Hooper, and Clare Fischer, among others. In addition to scores, the collection contains memorabilia related to Puerling’s life and work, including letters of admiration from renowned musicians, material for live television programs, and numerous recordings made throughout his life. Puerling, a singer and vocal arranger for The Hi-Lo’s! and The Singers Unlimited, wrote intricate, harmonically complex arrangements, and his pieces for those ensembles influenced countless future vocal groups, including The Beach Boys, The Manhattan Transfer, The Real Group, and Take 6. Puerling’s vocal writing for The Hi-Lo’s! and The Singers Unlimited earned him fourteen Grammy award nominations, and he won the award for his highly acclaimed 1982 arrangement of “A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square,” recorded by The Manhattan Transfer. In addition to The Manhattan Transfer, Puerling received commissions from other professional vocal groups, including The Real Group and Chanticleer, as well as such solo artists as Linda Ronstadt and Gloria Estefan. The Gene Puerling Collection resides in the Special Collections section of UNT’s Music Library, and is accessible by special arrangement. A finding aid is available at http://findingaids.library.unt.edu/index.php?p=collections/findingaid&id=734. The collection complements other collections maintained collaboratively by the UNT Music Library and the UNT College of Music’s Division of Jazz Studies, the Stan Kenton and Maynard Ferguson collections. Kenton, famed jazz orchestra leader, gave UNT a collection of arrangements in 1962 and bequeathed the remainder of his collection to UNT in 1979, while the Ferguson Collection came to UNT in 2008. The UNT Division of Jazz Studies plans to publish new editions of Puerling’s arrangements through the newly formed publishing entity, North Texas Jazz Press. Gala concerts and other events to celebrate the Gene Puerling Collection and feature Puerling’s music are scheduled for the weekend of 16–18 April 2015.

10th World IHEA and ECHE joint congress: Health Economics in the Age of Longevity

The 10th consecutive World Health Economics conference was organized jointly by International Health Economics Association and European Conference on Health Economics Association and took place at The Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland in July 2014. It has attracted broad participation from the global professional community devoted to health economics teaching,research and policy applications. It has provided a forum for lively discussion on hot contemporary issues such as health expenditure projections, reimbursement regulations,health technology assessment, universal insurance coverage, demand and supply of hospital services, prosperity diseases, population aging and many others. The high-profile debate fostered by this meeting is likely to inspire further methodological advances worldwide and spreading of evidence-based policy practice from OECD towards emerging markets.

Apomorphine Penject – Emerging Evidence and Treatment Strategies for Delayed on and off Periods in Parkinson’s disease

This educational symposium was held during the Joint Congress of European Neurology (EFNS–ENS), which took place from 31st May to 3rd June 2014 in Istanbul, Turkey, and was sponsored by Britannia Pharmaceuticals Limited. The symposium debated the problem of delayed ON and OFF periods in Parkinson’s disease that can occur even in patients optimised on oral medication. Emerging evidence for the rapid and effective resolution of such complications using apomorphine intermittent injection (penject) was reviewed with particular reference to the positive results of the recent AM IMPAKT trial in patients with morning akinaesia. The discussions were illustrated with examples of ‘real life’ patient case studies to help determine which patients might be best suited for treatment with apomorphine injection.
