Milmed treatment alleviates symptoms of allergy and improves general health
The effects of the patented treated-yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a
probiotic suspension which was shown earlier to present
neuroprotective and neurorestorative properties, upon allergies
presented by a group (n=8) of patients, that were compared with a
matched group of patients administered untreated yeast cells (n=8).
Treated yeast cells were subjected to millimeter-wave exposure as
outlined in patented documents. The patients who administered
Urinary and exhaled biomarkers of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in atopic asthmatic children
Background: Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) reflects poor asthma control. Assessing noninvasive biomarkers associated with EIB could help to monitor patients in the pediatric age. Aims: To test exhaled and urinary biomarkers for assessing EIB in atopic asthmatic children.
The role of nasal cytology in the diagnosis of allergic and non-allergic rhinitis in adult and children
OBJECTIVE:
Parietaria allergy: an intriguing challenge for the allergist
Parietaria pollen is the most important cause of pollen allergies in the Mediterranean area, as Parietaria is widespread in this region. Many issues are associated with Parietaria allergy, including the duration of the pollen season (many doctors in fact believe that it lasts throughout the year), pollen load (which seems to be increasing over time), the impact of age (on IgE production and symptom severity), inflammatory changes (after pollen exposure), and the choice of allergen immunotherapy (AIT).
Classification of cutaneous manifestations in patients with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) and wheat allergy (WA)
GFD remains the only "therapy" currently available, resulting in a global improvement in symptoms. Antihistamines and/or corticosteroids can be used only for brief periods, in order to reduce the cutaneous symptomatology, together with emollient creams. Immunotherapy may be also as a valid therapeutic option.
Overweight and obese patients with nickel allergy have a worse metabolic profile compared to weight matched non-allergic individuals
A lack of balance between energy intake and expenditure due to overeating or reduced physical activity does not seem to explain entirely the obesity epidemic we are facing, and further factors are therefore being evaluated. Nickel (Ni) is a ubiquitous heavy metal implied in several health conditions. Regarding this, the European Food Safety Authority has recently released an alert on the possible deleterious effects of dietary Ni on human health given the current levels of Ni dietary intake in some countries.
