Association between red cell distribution width and response to methotrexate in rheumatoid arthritis

Reumatismo, 2020
Red cell distribution width (RDW) is an unconventional biomarker of inflammation. We aimed to explore its role as a predictor of treatment response in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Epigenetics in allergic diseases [PDF]

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2015
Allergic diseases are among the most prevalent chronic diseases of childhood, affecting more than 7 million children in the United States. Epidemiological evidence supports the idea that the inception of allergic diseases is typically before the preschool years, even when chronic symptoms do not emerge until adulthood. The role of epigenetic mechanisms

Prevention of allergic diseases

Allergologia et Immunopathologia, 2007
The prevalence of asthma and allergic diseases has increased in recent years, particularly in the industrialized world. Allergic disease begins to manifest in the first years of life. The disorder usually manifests initially in the form of food allergy and atopic dermatitis, followed in later stages by respiratory allergy with rhinitis and/or asthma ...

Stress and Allergic Diseases [PDF]

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2011
Allergy describes a constellation of clinical diseases that affect up to 30% of the world's population. It is characterized by production of allergen-specific IgE, which binds to mast cells and initiates a cascade of molecular and cellular events that affect the respiratory tract (rhinitis and asthma), skin (dermatitis, urticaria), and multiple systems

Blockade of IL-33 release and suppression of type 2 innate lymphoid cell responses by helminth secreted products in airway allergy [PDF]

, 2014
Helminth parasites such as the nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus strongly inhibit T helper type 2 (Th2) allergy, as well as colitis and autoimmunity. Here, we show that the soluble excretory/secretory products of H.

Application to Allergic Diseases

Japanese Journal of Clinical Immunology, 2005
The increasing prevalence of allergic diseases in developed countries is considered to be caused, at least in part, by rapid improvement of human hygiene. In human beings, the immune system developed as an ingenious device for defending against frequent attacks by microbes.
