Inhibition of Cross-Reactive Carbohydrate Determinants in Allergy Diagnostics.
Authors: Grzywnowicz M, Majsiak E, Gaweł J, Miśkiewicz K, Doniec Z, Kurzawa R
Abstract
Despite being clinically largely irrelevant, antibodies against cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCD) are an important issue in the in vitro diagnostics, as they may produce false positive or falsely elevated results of the immunoglobulin E class (asIgE) in relation to the actually present level of asIgE. The present chapter demonstrates an effective resolution of this diagnostic issue by the use of a CCD inhibitor in in vitro tests. A synthetic CCD inhibitor, Polycheck® CCD inhibitor, was used in the laboratory diagn...

Comparison of Specific Immunoglobulin E with the Skin Prick Test in the Diagnosis of House Dust Mites and Cockroach Sensitization in Patients with Asthma and/or Allergic Rhinitis.
CONCLUSION: serum specific IgE testing to common inhalant allergen in patients with respiratory allergy showed only low-to-moderate sensitivity, but high specificity and PPV. This new assay can be used to diagnose allergen sensitization in the population with high prevalence of TDR and cockroach.

Contribution of Patient Interviews as Part of a Comprehensive Approach to the Identification of Drug-Related Problems on Geriatric Wards
ConclusionWe demonstrated that structured patient interviews identified additional DRPs that other sources did not identify. Embedded within a comprehensive approach, the structured patient interviews were needed as data resource for over one-third of all DRPs.

Allergy and atopy from infancy to adulthood: Messages from the German birth cohort MAS,
Allergic diseases in early and late childhood have become a common health problem across the globe as documented by the first cross-sectional phase of the International Study on Asthma and Allergies in Childhood [ISAAC] in the mid-1990s.1,2 In many industrialized and developing countries the prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis and eczema has increased since then or remained at a high plateau as shown by another global ISAAC assessment a decade later.3

Clinical and Laboratory Profile of Zika and Dengue Infected Patients: Lessons Learned From the Co-circulation of Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya in Brazil
In conclusion, our data characterized the occurrence of an ongoing triple epidemic caused by DENV, ZIKV and CHIKV in Campo Grande, MS, Brazil. Importantly, the knowledge about dengue or zika severity in co-infected individuals is still unknown, however we provided here, new contributions related to the clinical presentations and laboratorial parameters during DENV and ZIKV infections, in an endemic scenario.

Importance of comorbidities in the treatment of primary care patients with heart failure —Baseline results of the observational RECODE-HF Study
ConclusionFive somatic comorbidity groups as well as patient-reported psychosocial distress were significantly associated with a higher risk of GP-reported treatment difficulties. Further efforts to address comorbidities in clinical guidelines could be built on these results.

Gender-related aspects in occupational allergies – Secondary publication and update
AbstractFor years occupational allergies have been among the most frequently recorded occupational diseases, and both the skin as well as the respiratory tract may be affected. An estimated 9 to 15% of adult asthma is (partially) caused by work-related exposure. Gender-specific differences in exposure cause different risks in the workplace which affect the health of employees. This also applies to exposure and working conditions when handling sensitizing working substances. The presented gender-specific analysis of the German documentation of confirmed occupational respiratory allergic diseases and occupational skin diseas...

IgE sensitization to Aspergillus fumigatus among children in allergological centre of Saratov
Conclusions: IgE sensitization to Af increases the risk of rhinosinusitis in children with allergic rhinitis, and often combined with allergen-induced inflammation in epidermal allergy.

Food Allergy Detection Device Could Remove Danger Of Dining Out
BOSTON (CBS) – Clare Maloney-Kolenberg is high school junior from Winchester who is looking forward to traveling to Spain on an exchange program with her Spanish class.
But that excitement is coupled with a bit of anxiety due to her food allergies. “I’m allergic to tree nuts, peanuts and sesame,” she told WBZ-TV.
It’s a list that can make dining out a bit dicey, even in familiar restaurants near home. But once you add unfamiliar foods and a language barrier, that increases the odds of a reaction.
That’s exactly what happened when Clare ordered ice cream on a trip to Germany with her family.
“All of a s...

Maternal Exposure of BALB/c Mice to Indoor NO2 and Allergic Asthma Syndrome in Offspring at Adulthood with Evaluation of DNA Methylation Associated Th2 Polarization
Conclusions:
Maternal exposure to indoor environmental NO2 causes allergic asthma-related consequences in offspring absent any subsequent lung provocation and potentiates the symptoms of allergic asthma in adult offspring following postnatal allergic sensitization and challenge; this response is associated with the Th2-based immune response and DNA methylation of the IL4 gene. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP685

Updated Global Estimates of Respiratory Mortality in Adults ≥ 30 Years of Age Attributable to Long-Term Ozone Exposure
Conclusions:
These findings suggest that the potential magnitude of health benefits of air quality policies targeting O3, health co-benefits of climate mitigation policies, and health implications of climate change-driven changes in O3 concentrations, are larger than previously thought. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1390

Accurate quantification of 5 German cockroach (GCr) allergens in complex extracts using multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (MRM MS)
Conclusions and Clinical RelevanceOur data demonstrate that the LC‐MRM MS method is valuable for absolute quantification of allergens in GCr extracts and likely has broader applicability to other complex allergen extracts. Definitive quantification provides a new standard for labelling of allergen extracts, which will inform patient care, enable personalized therapy, and enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy for environmental and food allergies.
