The effect of liraglutide on insulin allergy in a patient with glucocorticoid-induced diabetes and multiple sclerosis
Nagoya J Med Sci. 2021 May;83(2):343-351. doi: 10.18999/nagjms.83.2.343.ABSTRACTGlucocorticoid use may trigger secondary diabetes or exacerbate hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Liraglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. Few reports mention liraglutide as a treatment for steroid-induced DM (SIDM). Here, we report a patient with SIDM and multiple sclerosis, for whom switching to liraglutide combined with metformin therapy improved glucose levels and ameliorated the symptoms of insulin allergy. Liraglutide may be useful for t...

NIH scientists find that salmonella use intestinal epithelial cells to colonize the gut
(NIH/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) The immune system's attempt to eliminate Salmonella bacteria from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract instead facilitates colonization of the intestinal tract and fecal shedding, according to National Institutes of Health scientists. The study, published in Cell Host& Microbe, was conducted by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) scientists at Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana.

Bone marrow disorder nearly 10-times more common in those with venom allergy
(Michigan Medicine - University of Michigan) In the largest US study of venom allergy and mastocytosis prevalence, Michigan Medicine researchers found that people with venom allergy are nearly 10 times more likely to suffer the bone marrow disorder that causes higher risk of fatal reactions. They also found that elevated levels of tryptase, a chemical secreted by allergy cells, may predict if a person is at higher risk for reaction to immunotherapy.

Food allergy safety: a descriptive report of changing policy in a single large medical center
ConclusionsOur experience suggests that methods for food allergy safety should be promoted, and that an established policy and suitable set of guidelines on this matter is required. This clearly mandates collaboration between the various sectors of the hospital, including management and the computer department; and the medical, nursing, dietetics and kitchen staffs. Furthermore, routine ongoing knowledge training programs for medical teams and kitchen staff are crucial for such implementational changes. In a technological world, computerized systems delivering food to hospitalized patients must be adapted such as to create...
