introduction: foot insoles are widely recommended to prevent running related to injuries. however, their effects on the frequency of ground reaction force(grf) is still unclear. the purpose of this study was to elemental test the effect of four shoe insoles on frequency of grf during stance phase of running. materials and methods: 15 female students (mean age22±1/85 year, height162±4/71cm and w...

Clopidogrel is a new antiplatelet prescribed for the secondary prevention of atherosclerotic events. The literature shows that the clinical manifestations of clopidogrel hypersensitivity include urticaria1, skin rash2-4, and angioedema5. The precise immunological mechanism underlying clopidogrel hypersensitivity has not been established. We describe two cases of hypersensitivity reaction due to...

Allergic conjunctivitis (AC),a disorder of the conjunctiva in which an allergic component plays a key role, affects approximately 15-25% of the adult and pediatric population 1-8. Estimates in the literature indicate that the seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC) occurs most frequently, followed by atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC), vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC), perennial allergic conjunc...

Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema (NCPE) is a rare adverse reaction to iodinated radiocontrast media (RCM), in which all previous cases were immediate reactions. A 56-year-old male was given iopamidol, a non-ionic, low osmolar RCM, during coronary artery angiography. He developed pulmonary edema and fever a day after the procedure. Despite diuretic therapy, the patient's pulmonary edema worsened ...

We present 3 cases of pseudoallergic (anaphylactoid) reactions to perioperatively administered rocuronium, which rapidly resolved after sugammadex injection. Allergological workup showed no evidence for immediate-type hypersensitivity to the drugs used for anesthesia, including rocuronium. However, rocuronium induced an irritative reaction in skin tests in all 3 patients and in 3 healthy indivi...
