-National Coordinator (Greece) of the European PASTE study, regarding patients' adherence to allergen Immunotherapy. The study has been the outcome of an EAACI (European Academy of Allergy & Clinical Immunology) Task Force and has partially been completed. -Member of the Task Force of EAACI: "Awareness and practice of allergen immunotherapy in primary care in Europe" -Member of the Task Force of EAACI: "Food reintroduction in Eosinophilic Esophagitis". -Co-ordinator of a meta-analysis regarding "The use of skin tests for the diagnosis of Eosinophilic Esophagitis" -Study of profilin as allergen causing Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS). A study on OAS prevalence in Greek population has been completed and results have been published. The presence of profilin in skin prick test extracts of pollen and fruits, using the SDS-PAGE method, have also been published. Study of OAS and profilin sensitization is going to be exended to Cypriot population. -PARC project (Prevention of Allergic Rhinitis in Cyprus): The task of this program is to define the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in Cyprus. Initially interviews with the use of a questionnare are made, detecting the partecipants that have symptoms of rhinitis. Diagnosis of allergic rhinitis is set with a clinical examination and the use of skin-prick tests. The program is addressed to young adults who are students of UCY. Allergological advices are offered to the ones diagnosed as allergic, in order to prevent deterioration and progression of allergic rhinitis to asthma. -Participation in Life-MEDEA study, mitigating the health effects of desert dust storms using exposure-reduction approaches. The study is coordinated by Prof P. Yiallouros. The pertecipation is regarding the study of asthmatic children's atopic profile. | |
