Annals 80th anniversary: Immunotherapy for food allergy
The 1944 edition of the Annals of Allergy, Asthma& Immunology held the seed of an idea that today, some 80 years later, has come to define the field of food allergy. The article —entitled “Experimental approach to oral treatment of food allergy: Chemistry of food propeptans”—was conducted by Austrian dermatologist Erich Urbach, a war émigré who had escaped Nazi persecution to take up a position at the University of Pennsylvania.1 Alongside detailed chemical explan ations of the hydrolysis of food proteins, the article contained a surprising laboratory finding: guinea pigs who had been “allergenized” to egg wh...

Tribal Healing, Suicide, Ethical Issues, Cancer and Measuring Religiosity and Spirituality
AbstractThis issue ofJORH considers the ‘good, the bad and the ugly’ of tribal or traditional healers, as well as articles relating to ethical challenges due to contemporary medicine and environmental issues. The concluding series on suicide (Part 2) is also finalized in this issue, as well as a number of research articles from multip le countries relating to cancer. Similar to previous issues,JORH once again adds to its increasing collection of articles relating to the empirical measurement of religion, spirituality and health. Readers are also reminded of theEuropean Congress on Religion, Spirituality and Health (ECR...

A comparative study on antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli isolates from Austrian patients and wastewater-influenced Danube River water and biofilms
In this study, AMR patterns of Escherichia coli isolates from urinary tract infections and colonised urinary catheters of inpatients and outpatients were compared to isolates from the Danube River within the same catchment in Austria to potentially link environmental with clinical resistance patterns. Susceptibility to 20 antibiotics was tested for 697 patient, 489 water and 440 biofilm isolates. The resistance ratios in patient isolates were significantly higher than in the environmental isolates and higher resistance ratios were found in biofilm in comparison to water isolates. The role of the biofilm as potential sink o...

Hub Genes, Possible Pathways and Predicted Drugs in Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis by Bioinformatics Analysis
CONCLUSION: This study offered some novel insights into molecular pathways and identified five hub genes associated with cell adhesion. Based on these hub genes, three potential therapeutic miRNAs and small-molecule drugs were predicted, which are expected to provide guidance for the treatment of patients with HGF.PMID:38546525 | DOI:10.3290/j.cjdr.b5128671 (Source: Cell Research)
