BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Children with atopic dermatitis (AD) have a higher risk for development of food allergies. The objective of this study was to examine incidence of food allergy development in infants with AD and the predictive value of food-antigen-specific immunoglobulin E measurements. METHODS This trial examined the long-term safety and efficacy of pimecrolimus cream 1% in >1000 i...

The combination of depression and anorexia may influence morbidity and progressive physical disability in the elderly. Gender differences exist in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activation following stress exposure. The objective of this study was to investigate gender differences in feeding behavior under novelty stress in aged mice. Food intake measurement, immunohistochemical assessment...

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 ...

Penetration of the gut epithelial barrier by intact luminal antigen is necessary for immunologically mediated pathophysiology in the context of food allergy. We investigated if glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) could affect immediate hypersensitivity and late-phase allergic inflammation in a murine model. Mice were sensitized to horseradish peroxidase (HRP); studies were conducted 14 days later. ...

Dentin hypersensitivity or sensitive teeth is one of the most disturbing diseases caused by opening dentinal tubules which can transmit fluid to pulp nerves tooth, so that patient feel a short and sharp pain when exposed triggering agents. This cause physical psychological problems for patient. In addition, it have negative impact on person's quality life, especially regarding food selection, p...
