Alleged allergenicity of latex gloves.
The Editor, I feel that Sawyer and Bennett (2006) imply that there is something intrinsically hazardous about natural rubber latex (NRL) gloves. The evidence shows this not to be the case. NRL gloves were used for many years in health care and laboratory work with only a rare incidence of latex allergy. The problem arose when the health care sector decided to adopt a policy of general glove use...
متن کاملLatex medical gloves: time for a reappraisal.
Many hospitals have implemented policies to restrict or ban the use of devices made of natural rubber latex (NRL) in healthcare as precautionary measures against the perceived risk of NRL allergy. Changes in glove technology, progress in measuring the specific allergenic potential of gloves and a dramatic decrease in the prevalence of NRL allergies after interventions and education prompted us ...
متن کاملLatex Protein Allergy and Your Gloves
To address the problem, a great deal of research has been carried out in Malaysia and other manufacturing countries, as well as in consumer countries in the West. Whilst studies in Europe and USA have been largely concerned with the development of suitable diagnostic tests, much efforts have been made in Malaysia to further improve quality of the products. Intensive R&D by the Rubber Research I...
متن کاملLatex allergies stretch beyond rubber gloves.
Due to the importance of protein phosphorylation in cellular control, many researches are undertaken to predict the kinase-specific phosphorylation sites. Referred to our previous work, KinasePhos 1.0, incorporated profile hidden Markov model (HMM) with flanking residues of the kinase-specific phosphorylation sites. Herein, a new web server, KinasePhos 2.0, incorporates support vector machines ...
متن کاملPlant Defense-related Proteins Eluting from Latex Gloves and Ammoniated Latex: Potential Latex Allergens
Hypersensitivity reactions caused by latex products are ascribed to proteins elutingfrom the products, but the detailed properties of the responsible proteins have not been revealed yet. We have speculated that defense-related proteins biosynthesised in a rubber tree comprise the major part of the allergens. The aim of this study is to ascertain whether defense-related proteins are extracted fr...
