From Allergy to Angina: A Unique Presentation of Kounis Syndrome
ABSTRACT Kounis syndrome (KS) is a rare condition characterized by acute coronary syndrome (ACS) triggered by an allergic reaction. This report presents a case of high‐risk ACS associated with a food allergy. A 53‐year‐old male with no prior medical history presented to the emergency department with itching, facial swelling, chest tightness, shortness ...

Bayesian Stacked Parametric Survival with Frailty Components and Interval Censored Failure Times [PDF]
To better understand effects of exposure to food allergens, food challenge studies are designed to slowly increase the dose of an allergen delivered to allergic individuals until an objective reaction occurs. These dose-to-failure studies are used to determine acceptable intake levels and are analyzed using parametric failure time models.

Measuring the Impact of Urban Street Trees on Air Quality and Respiratory Illness [PDF]
New streams of data enable us to associate physical objects with rich multi-dimensional data on the urban environment. This study presents how open data integration can contribute to deeper insights into urban ecology. We analyze street trees in New York City (NYC) with cross-domain data integration methods by combining crowd-sourced tree census data -

Electrochemical Detection of Histamine in Red Wine Using CB[7] Modified Electrodes
An electrochemical sensor for the detection of biogenic amines is demonstrated, as a layer by layer assembly of semi‐conductive polymer and cucurbiturils (CB[7]) at the surface of a conventional glassy carbon electrode (GCE). This electrochemical sensor is a promising tool for the determination of histamine in commercial red wine samples, with ...

Mathematical Modelling of Allergy and Specific Immunotherapy: Th1-Th2-Treg Interactions [PDF]
Regulatory T cells (Treg) have recently been identified as playing a central role in allergy and during allergen-specific immunotherapy. We have extended our previous mathematical model describing the nonlinear dynamics of Th1-Th2 regulation by including Treg cells and their major cytokines.
