Eosinophils as Major Player in Type 2 Inflammation: Autoimmunity and Beyond
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2021 May 26. doi: 10.1007/5584_2021_640. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEosinophils are a subset of differentiated granulocytes which circulate in peripheral blood and home in several body tissues. Along with their traditional relevance in helminth immunity and allergy, eosinophils have been progressively attributed important roles in a number of homeostatic and pathologic situations. This review aims at summarizing available evidence about eosinophils functions in homeostasis, infections, allergic and autoimmune disorders, and solid and hematological cancers.Their structural and biological features have b...

The allergen-specific immunotherapy efficiency in dependent on patient's parasitic status
Conclusion. Lower effectiveness of ASIT in infested patients is explained by the fact that parasitical agents actively interferes in patient's immune system. We suggest that in order to increase the effectiveness of ASIT all children with allergic pathologies should receive high-quality parasitical examination and consequent antiparasitical therapy in case of a detected invasion.

Nausea is an unpleasant abdominal perception that the person may describe as feeling ill to the stomach, or feeling like he/she is going to vomit. Anorexia is frequently observed. Nausea is usually associated with decreased stomach activity and motility in the small intestine. Parasympathetic activity may be increased causing pale skin, sweating, hypersalivation and possible vasovagal syndrome (hypotension and bradycardia). Retching or dry heaves is when there are sp...
