Abstract:
Incidence of food allergy has been increasing and is more commonly seen in children. Allergic reactions can vary, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. This article aims to explore the immunological mechanisms involved in food allergy, as well as distinguishing between immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated and non-IgE-mediated reactions. Careful diagnosis of the allergic child is essential and the article describes validated tests carried out in this process. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach to the management of children with allergies is vital because it ensures patients and carers are supported, empowered and therefore able to enjoy an improved quality of life.

Physiological Correlates of Emotion Recognition
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls the activity of the body's internal organs and regulates changes in their activity depending on the current environment. The vagus nerve, which innervates many of the internal organs, is an important part of the system. When our brain senses danger, vagal tone is inhibited, leading to a set of changes in the body designed to make us more prepared to...
