Pigeon breeder's disease: the clinical spectrum and humoral response; an investigation of the nature and extent of extrinsic allergic alveolitis due to pigeon-derived antigens among pigeon fanciers continuing to pursue the pastime, with particular reference to early clinical and humoral-mediated responses following exposure [PDF]
This thesis examines the relationships between the clinical manifestations of Pigeon Breeder's Disease among active pigeon fanciers, and the associated humoral responses to pigeon -derived antigens.

Factors Influencing the Development, Investigation and Resolution of Humidifier-Related Diseases [PDF]
The development of lung disorders of environmental origin depends on a host response and the circumstances of exposure to noxious inhalable material. Climate, geography, culture, level of physical activity and the quality of indoor and outdoor air are ...

Surfactant protein A in chronic extrinsic allergic alveolitis: Table 1– [PDF]
To the Editors: The chronic form of extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) may have some common features with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The clinical, radiological and histopathological presentation of both diseases may be similar. Surfactant protein (SP)-A can be detected in serum of patients with IPF and concentrations of SP-A were found to ...

Extrinsic allergic alveolitis: incidence and mortality in the general population [PDF]
Extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) is an important clinical entity, but its incidence and significance in the general population are uncertain.To estimate the incidence of EAA, and resulting mortality, in the UK.General-population-based cohort study in a UK primary care database (THIN).THIN patients with an incident diagnosis of EAA were compared with

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.
