Natural Rubber Latex Allergy

Natural Rubber Latex Allergy

I n the past 10 years, IgE-mediated allergy to natural rubber latex has become a significant health problem in industrialized countries, especially among health care workers, patients with congenital malformations, and children with a history of multiple surgical interventions. Curative treatment inducing immunological tolerance in formerly sensitized patients is experimental and not yet genera...

Natural rubber latex allergy.

Immediate hypersensitivity to natural rubber latex (NRL) has become increasingly common during the last 20 years. It is currently one of the most frequently encountered occupational diseases among the healthcare workers and a problem even in other occupations where protective gloves are used. Several groups at high risk for developing NRL allergy have been defined, including healthcare workers ...

Analysis of the Modifying Effect of Styrene Butadiene Rubber Latex Copolymer on Strength and Permeability Properties of Structural Light Aggregate Concrete

Polymers not only possess repairing functions concerning the concrete structures, but also due to their properties are used in making different types of polymer cements and improving the matrix structure of cement materials, enhancing the viscosity, mechanical, and stability power of concretes. Today, there is limited knowledge on the use of SBR in structural light aggregate concrete. In the pr...

Ciprofloxacin Release Using Natural Rubber Latex Membranes as Carrier

Natural rubber latex (NRL) from Hevea brasiliensis is easily manipulated, low cost, is of can stimulate natural angiogenesis and cellular adhesion, is a biocompatible, material and presents high mechanical resistance. Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is a synthetic antibiotic (fluoroquinolone) used in the treatment of infection at external fixation screws sites and remote infections, and this use is increas...
