INTRODUCTION: Glove-induced dermatoses are frequently seen among healthcare workers (HCWs) and are often mistakenly defined as latex allergy. OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalences of (i) the symptoms of immediate type hypersensitivity reactions, (ii) the symptoms of hand eczema, (iii) latex sensitization detected using skin prick test (SPT), and (iv) contact hypersensitivity to rubber additives or glove pieces detected using patch test, in Turkish HCWs. METHODS: Ninety-eight HCWs were included in the study...

Kiwifruit allergy is an emerging pathological condition in both general and pediatric populations with a wide range of symptoms linked to variable molecular patterns, justifying systemic and cross-reactions with other allergens (i.e., latex, pollen, and fruit). Skin prick test (SPT), specific serum IgE (Act d 1, Act d 2, Act d 5, Act d 8, and Act d 10) directed against five out of thirteen molecular allergens described in the literature, and oral test challenge with kiwifruit are available for defining diagnosis...

In this study, we developed and demonstrated a latex turbidimetric immunoassay (LTIA) using latex beads immobilized with rabbit monoclonal single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) selected from an scFv-displayed phage library. Sixty-five different anti-c-reactive protein (anti-CRP) scFv clones were identified after biopanning selection using antigen-coupled multi-lamellar vesicles. By ranking antigen-binding clones using the apparent dissociation rate constant (app koff ) as a sorting index, scFv clones with a dissociation constant (KD free ) ranging from 4...

PURPOSE: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is one of the representative anomalies in the field of pediatric neurosurgery. During the 50 years of ISPN history, MMC had a tremendous changes in its incidence, clinical management and outcome with advanced understanding of its pathogenesis. We reviewed the changes in MMC during the period. METHODS: We reviewed the literature review and collected our experiences. RESULTS: During the 50 years, major changes happened in many aspects of MMC including incidence, pathoembryogenesis, folate deficiency, prevention, prenatal diagnosis, mode of delivery, treatment policy with ethical considerations, clinical treatment including fetal surgery, latex allergy, retethering, management outcome, multidisciplinary team approach, and socioeconomic and family issues...

Latex allergy is a critical occupational health problem in healthcare settings. Exposure to latex can lead to severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. However, in epidemiological studies, occupational anaphylaxis due to natural rubber latex is relatively rare. For this reason, allergic reactions from latex exposure in the workplace may not be well aware and, therefore, lead to delayed appropriate management. We reported a female physician who sought occupational health program counseling for her latex allergic reaction following occupational exposure and her two episodes of latex anaphylaxis during medical-surgical procedures...

Dentists should be trained to treat any allergic reaction in a dental office, and in this scenario, allergic reaction to latex-based product (rubber dam) is illustrated. Identification of signs and symptoms related to latex allergies is vital, and all dentists should be trained in the appropriate management of such a patient. The dental management of the scenario describes details of the diagnosis and management of latex-related allergies in a dental office for both adults and children.

BACKGROUND: Food allergy is common in the Mediterranean, especially concerning lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) allergy. LTPs are widespread plant food allergens in fruits, vegetables, nuts, pollen, and latex. Also, LTPs are prevalent food allergens in the Mediterranean area. They can sensitize via the gastrointestinal tract and cause a wide range of conditions: from mild reactions, such as oral allergy syndrome, to severe reactions, such as anaphylaxis. LTP allergy in the adult population is well described in the literature, concerning both the prevalence and clinical characteristics...

Recruited neutrophils are among the first phagocytic cells to interact with the phagosomal pathogen Leishmania following inoculation into the mammalian dermis. Analysis of Leishmania-infected neutrophils has revealed alterations in neutrophil viability, suggesting that the parasite can both induce or inhibit apoptosis. In this study, we demonstrate that entry of Leishmania major into murine neutrophils is dependent on the neutrophil surface receptor CD11b (CR3/Mac-1) and is enhanced by parasite opsonization with C3...

BACKGROUND: Preterm delivery is considered the leading cause of mortality worldwide in children under five. Forty-five million pregnant women are hospitalized yearly for Threatened Preterm Labor (TPTL). However, only 50% of TPTLs end in delivery before the estimated date, classifying the rest as false TPTL. The ability of current diagnostic methods to predict TPTL is low (low positive predictive value), ranging between 8-30%. This highlights the need for a solution that accurately detects and differentiates between false and real TPTLs in women who attend obstetric clinics and hospital emergency departments with delivery symptoms...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the main cause of dementia, affecting the increasingly aging population. Growing evidence indicates that neuro-inflammation plays crucial roles, e.g., the association between AD risk genes with innate immune functions. In this study, we demonstrate that moderate concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokine S100A9 regulate immune response of BV2 microglial cells, i.e., the phagocytic capacity, reflected by elevated number of 1 μm diameter Dsred-stained latex beads in the cytoplasm...

PURPOSE: Central venous catheters (CVCs) and pulmonary artery catheters (PACs) containing chlorhexidine, silver sulfadiazine, or latex can cause perioperative anaphylaxis. We examined the incidence of and outcomes associated with anaphylaxis caused by CVCs/PACs. METHODS: In a historical cohort study, we retrospectively identified adult patients fitted with CVCs/PACs at the Mayo Clinics in Minnesota, Arizona, and Florida from 1 January 2008 to 1 March 2018. Potential and confirmed cases of perioperative anaphylactic reactions were individually reviewed and classified...

Tachykinin-related peptides (TRPs) are one of the most prominent families of neuropeptides in the animal kingdom. Insect TRPs display strong structural and functional homology to vertebrate tachykinins (TKs). To study functional homologies between these two neuropeptide families, the influence of human substance P (SP, one of the essential vertebrate TKs) on the immune system of the mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor L., was analysed. Human SP influences the phagocytic abilities of T. molitor haemocytes. SP injection leads to an increase in the number of haemocytes participating in the phagocytosis of latex beads...

Autoantibodies to Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) are associated with detrimental outcomes in organ transplants. However, reports showed that adsorption with latex beads reduced positive anti-AT1R antibodies, suggesting possible false reactivity. To investigate this conundrum, we studied 11 samples positive for AT1R antibodies with an ELISA kit before and after adsorption. Adsorption significantly reduced the measurable level of AT1R antibodies (28.3 ± 9.8 vs. 6.3 ± 3.0 U/ml, p < 0...
