Introduction Food allergic reactions are due to an immune response to specific food components, allergens, that are commonly glycoproteins or other proteins or, rarely, carbohydrates. The most frequent allergic reactions are immediate hypersensitivity reactions mediated by antibodies (IgE) to food allergens. These antibodies circulate in the blood and are unique in that they can attach to mast ...

OBJECTIVE Intra-individual variability in reaction time (IIV-RT) is common in individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It can be improved by stimulants. However, the effects of atomoxetine on IIV-RT are inconclusive. We aimed to investigate the effects of atomoxetine on IIV-RT, and directly compared its efficacy with methylphenidate in adults with ADHD. METHODS An 8-1...
