Metamizole-associated neutropenia: Comparison of patients with neutropenia and metamizole-tolerant patients.
Abstract
Reports of metamizole-induced neutropenia have increased in Switzerland and Germany over the last decades, most likely reflecting increased use of metamizole. To date, there are no effective strategies to identify patients at increased risk of metamizole-induced neutropenia. In this observational, multi-center comparative study, characteristics of patients with metamizole-associated neutropenia were compared with patients treated with metamizole without developing adverse hematological reactions. Patients with metamizole-induced neutropenia treated at the University Hospitals Basel and Bern between 2005 a...

Contact allergies to dental materials
This study included 86 subjects (83.7% women and 16.3% men) with oral symptoms of a contact allergy. The average age was 63 years (24–86). The most common allergies were to metals, of which nickel and cobalt were th e most common allergens. Furthermore, many allergies were indicated to ingredients of cosmetics and composites. Allergies to components in methacrylate-containing denture resins came in at rank 5. 52.4% of the patients showed mucosal changes. Contact stomatitis (54.5%) and an oral lichenoid les ion (20.5%) were most frequently diagnosed. 86% of the patients reported subjective complaints. Pain and burning sen...

Guideline on diagnostic procedures for suspected hypersensitivity to beta-lactam antibiotics
AbstractThis guideline on diagnostic procedures for suspected beta-lactam antibiotic (BLA) hypersensitivity was written by the German and Austrian professional associations for allergology, and the Paul-Ehrlich Society for Chemotherapy in a consensus procedure according to the criteria of the German Association of Scientific Medical Societies. BLA such as penicillins and cephalosporins represent the drug group that most frequently triggers drug allergies. However, the frequency of reports of suspected allergy in patient histories cle arly exceeds the number of confirmed cases. The large number of suspected BLA allergies ...

A third of children up to age 3 exposed to Zika in-utero have neurological problems
New UCLA-led research suggests that 32% of children up to the age of 3 years who were exposed to the Zika virus during the mother ’s pregnancy had below-average neurological development.The study also found that fewer than 4% of 216 children evaluated had microcephaly —a smaller-than-normal head that is one of the hallmarks of the mosquito-borne disease. The heads of two of those children grew to normal size over time, the researchers reported.The studywas published in the journal Nature Medicine.The findings, conducted by UCLA researchers with colleagues in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the disease was first detected,...

The Role of Early Life Food Sensitization in Adolescent Lung Function: Results from 2 Birth Cohort Studies
ConclusionsThis study showed that food sensitization at 6 and 12 months was associated with reduced FEV1 in adolescence. Our finding that this link is not completely mediated by either subsequent asthma or aeroallergen sensitization is novel and suggests that early food sensitization itself can be used to identify high-risk groups for poor lung health.

Allergenicity of apple allergen Mal d 1 as effected by polyphenols and polyphenol oxidase due to enzymatic browning
In this study, the influence of enzymatic browning on the allergenicity of apples was investigated by determining the total phenolic content, polyphenols, Mal d 1 and the activity of polyphenol oxidase in six different apple cultivars. Additionally, it was analysed how chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid and epicatechin combined with PPO affect rMal d 1 in vitro. Outcomes have shown that enzymatic browning led to a significant stronger decrease of Mal d 1 in Dülmener Rosenapfel, Ontario and Roter Boskoop compared to Braeburn, Golden Delicious and Granny Smith due to their stronger decrease in total polyphenols. High PPO activi...

How A Nurse With a Hole in Her Skull Changed The Medical History of Migraines
The following is adapted from an excerpt from social and medical historian Katherine Foxhall’s new book, Migraine: A History, published by Johns Hopkins University Press, and out June 18, 2019.
In 1936, Alfred Goltman, a physician from Tennessee, reported on one of his cases in the prominent medical journal Allergy. The patient was a 26-year-old woman with a history of headaches, nausea, and vomiting since childhood. Goltman believed the observations he had made on this patient helped reveal the pathological physiology of migraine.
He had first met the woman, a registered nurse, in 1931. He recorded that for as lon...

Protease-Activated Receptors 2-Antagonist Suppresses Asthma by Inhibiting Reactive Oxygen Species-Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin Inflammation and Epithelial Tight Junction Degradation.
CONCLUSIONS: ROS generation and epidermal tight junction degradation are triggered by protease, followed by the induction of TSLP in allergic asthma. Our findings could suggest that PAR2-ant or anti-oxidants could be considered for allergic diseases as preventive alternatives.
