Human Schistosome Infection and Allergic Sensitisation [PDF]

, 2012
Several field studies have reported an inverse relationship between the prevalence of helminth infections and that of allergic sensitisation/atopy. Recent studies show that immune responses induced by helminth parasites are, to an extent, comparable to ...

Expression of genes related to anti-inflammatory pathways are modified among farmers' children [PDF]

, 2014
The hygiene hypothesis states that children exposed to higher loads of microbes such as farmers' children suffer less from allergies later in life. Several immunological mechanisms underpinning the hygiene hypothesis have been proposed such as a shift in

Myeloid differentiation-2 is a potential biomarker for the amplification process of allergic airway sensitization in mice

Allergology International, 2015
Background: Allergic sensitization is a key step in the pathogenesis of asthma. However, little is known about the molecules that are critical regulators for establishing allergic sensitization of the airway.

Effects of geohelminth infection and age on the associations between allergen-specific IgE, skin test reactivity and wheeze: a case-control study. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Most childhood asthma in poor populations in Latin America is not associated with aeroallergen sensitization, an observation that could be explained by the attenuation of atopy by chronic helminth infections or effects of age.

Contemporary management of pain in cirrhosis: Toward precision therapy for pain

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor health‐related quality of life and poor functional status. However, there is limited guidance on appropriate pain management in this population, and pharmacologic treatment can be harmful, leading to adverse outcomes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding ...

Sensitization profiles to purified plant food allergens among pediatric patients with allergy to banana. [PDF]

, 2011
Banana fruit allergy is well known, but neither immunoglobulin E recognition patterns to purified plant food allergens nor true prevalences of putative banana allergens have been established. This study aimed to characterize β-1,3-glucanase and thaumatin-
