oral allergy syndrome (oas) is occasionally observed following consumption  of raw fruits  in  allergic adults. since this  phenomenon  was  commonly  reported  in  khorasan province of iran; we intended to check if common  diagnostic tests could be applied for differential diagnosis of oas to grapes. ige reactivity of 84 patients with oas to grape and 34 patients with oas to other fruits were ...

abstract the purpose of the present study is to compare the differentiation between satisfied couples, and conflicting couples in bandar abbas. four components of differentiation (emotional reactivity, emotional cutoff, emotional fusion and i-position) were investigated. 120 couples selected through available sampling procedure: 60 conflicting couples having recourse to counseling clinics in ba...

different igg subclass profiles are produced in response to different antigenic stimuli in a variety of diseases. igg subclass levels may reflect disease severity. quantification of igg subclasses depends on the availability of specific monoclonal antibodies (mabs). in the present study seven hybridoma clones producing mabs reactive with multiple subclasses of human igg were established. spleno...

Diverse proteome reactivity profiles were obtained using small-molecule electrophiles. Based on the cross-reactivity profile, each protein generated a unique reactivity fingerprint. Here, we report the first proteome reactivity signature-based discrimination of 11 bacteria. Perfect differentiation of 11 bacteria can be achieved using 2 benzyl-halide probes.

General startle reactivity reflects defensive reactivity independent of affective foreground. We examined the relationship between general startle reactivity and startle response to threat in three tasks with distinct manipulations of threat uncertainty. General startle reactivity was a stronger predictor of startle response during threat (vs. no threat) and uncertain (vs. certain threat). Thes...

Superhelical PM2 DNA I can be modified with N-cyclohexyl-N'-beta-(4-methylmorpholinium)ethyl carbodiimide (CMC). The transition of the sedimentation coefficient uncorrected for buoyant density change (S20,*) vs. % reactivity in terms of base pairs shows the following characteristics. The S20,* increases by 4.5 S units upon 1% modification. There is a plateau in S20,* between 1 and 4% reactivity...

P eople with diabetes, particularly those with type 2 diabetes, exhibit increased platelet reactivity. Hyperglycemia contributes to greater platelet reactivity through direct effects and by promoting glycation of platelet proteins. Hypertriglyceridemia increases platelet reactivity. Both insulin resistance and insulin deficiency increase platelet reactivity. Insulin antagonizes activation of pl...

BACKGROUND Altered cognitive processing following mood challenge is associated with elevated relapse risk in remitted unipolar depressed patients, but little is known about the neural basis of this reactivity and its link to depressive relapse and prophylaxis. METHODS Remitted unipolar depressed participants (n = 16) and healthy control subjects (n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonanc...

BACKGROUND Assessment of emotional reactivity, defined as rapid emotional responses to salient environmental events, has been neglected in mood disorders. This article reviews data showing the relevance of using emotional reactivity to better characterize bipolar mood episodes. METHOD We reviewed clinical data on emotional reactivity during all phases of bipolar disorders (euthymic, manic, mi...

A lthough there is general agreement that there / \ is a strong genetic component to essential A. \ hypertension, it is not clear exactly what is inherited. A popular but largely unsubstantiated view is that sustained hypertension may be preceded by a period of increased reactivity to noxious stimuli. In this issue of Hypertension, Ravogli et al provide important new data that help'to resolve t...
