Your child’s school… your local fire department… day-care centers… PTA and Scout meetings. They’re stops you make as you go about your day — and they’re exactly the places where AANMA needs volunteers to help conduct allergist-led anaphylaxis awareness and education sessions!
We make it easy for you to join our teams of ACEs — Anaphylaxis Community Experts. ACEs teams in 150 communities across the U.S. will visit everyday places to share information about anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction. We’re matching volunteers and allergists in the ZIP codes listed below.
Measuring the amount of nitric oxide in exhaled breath can indicate the amount of inflammation in the lungs, and studies now suggest that a simple breath test can identify children at risk of developing asthma. Researchers at the University of Southern California measured fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) levels in 2,000 healthy children aged 7 to 10, then tracked them over four years. Those with the highest levels of FeNO at the beginning of the study were more than twice as likely to develop asthma later on as those with the lowest levels. The measurement device is manufactured by Aerocrine
