BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Natural allergenic extracts using for diagnosis and immunotherapy may have batch-to-batch variations and contaminations with unrefined allergens or non-allergenic components. Thus, recombinant allergen is believed to overcome these shortcomings. In this study, native and recombinant allergens of group 1 and 2 of Dermatophagoides mites were produced and their allergenici...

BACKGROUND House dust mite allergen levels in humid coastal regions of Australia are high, particularly in beds. Because high allergen levels in beds are associated with more severe asthma, reduction of levels may be important for asthma control. OBJECTIVE We tested the effectiveness of an acaricidal treatment of bedding in combination with occlusive mattress and pillow encasings in reducing ...

This study assessed the effect of low (10 mg ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ h-1) and very high (18 mg ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ h-1) doses of lidocaine on defibrillation energy requirements (DER) to relate changes in indexes of sodium-channel blockade with changes in DER values using a dose-response study design. In group 1 (control; n = 6 pigs), DER values were determined at baseline and during treatment with 5% dextrose in water (...

Der von Industrie und Infrastrukturbetreibern erwartete vielteilige Standard IEC 62443, bzw. ISA99 [IEC TC57/WG15, IEC SC45A/WG9, ISO/IEC JTC1/SC27/WG1] für Industrielles Prozess-Management und Prozesskontrolle (IACS) besteht aus 4 Gruppen, mit bis zu 4 Teilen je Gruppe. Nur der vorläufig letzte Teil IEC 62443-4-2, der von den Normungsorganisationen Anfang 2016 zur Kommentierung ausgeschrieben ...

BACKGROUND The major house dust mite allergen Der p 2 is a structural and functional homologue of MD-2 within the TLR4-CD14-MD-2 complex. An asthma mouse model in TLR4-deficient mice recently suggested that the allergic immune response against Der p 2 is solely dependent on TLR4 signaling. We investigated whether similar mechanisms are important for Der p 2 sensitization via the skin. METHODS...

BACKGROUND Polymerised allergenic extracts (allergoids) are commonly used in allergen immunotherapy. Clinical efficacy and safety of these extracts have been demonstrated. Recently, allergen sequences have been identified by mass spectrometry in depigmented and polymerised (Dpg-Pol) extracts. The objectives of this study were to investigate the presence of allergens in Dpg-Pol extracts of house...

Ziel: Ziel der Studie war die Häufigkeit von typischen Artefakten der high-pitch Computertomografie (HPCT) bei low-dose Untersuchungen von Kindern im Vergleich zur MDCT zu evaluieren und die effektive Dosis (Deff) zu berechnen. Material und Methoden: 35 Patienten (17 Jungen, 18 Mädchen; Durchschnittsalter 112±69 Monate) wurden in diese retrospektive Studie eingeschlossen. Bei allen Patienten wu...

This study estimated the exposure to dust mites in various occupational environments in Croatia. In total, 29 occupational dust samples were collected: 10 from urban areas (offices, archive of an insurance company, tobacco, paper-recycling, fish-processing and textile plants, animal unit for experimental rats, winery), nine from rural areas (barley, hay, animal food and flour warehouses, tailor...
