Basophil CD203c levels are increased at baseline and can be used to monitor omalizumab treatment in subjects with nut allergy.
RATIONALE Basophils contribute to anaphylaxis and allergies. We examined the utility of assessing basophil-associated surface antigens (CD11b/CD63/CD123/CD203c/CD294) in characterizing and monitoring subjects with nut allergy. METHODS We used flow cytometry to analyze basophils at baseline (without any activation) and after ex vivo stimulation of whole blood by addition of nut or other allerg...
متن کاملCan Urine Lamivudine Be Used to Monitor Antiretroviral Treatment Adherence?
Patient adherence to treatment is an important factor in the effectiveness of antiretroviral regimens. Adherence to treatment could be monitored by estimation of antiretroviral drugs in biological fluids. We aimed to obtain information on the quantity and duration of excretion of lamivudine in urine following oral administration of a single dose of 300 mg and to assess its suitability for adher...
متن کاملIncreased Level of Basophil CD203c Expression Predicts Severe Chronic Urticaria
Increased FcεR1α expression with upregulated CD203c expression on peripheral basophils is seen in patients with chronic urticaria (CU). However, there has been no published report on the association between CD203c expression level and clinical disease activity in CU patients. To investigate whether the increase of basophil activation is associated with the disease activity of CU, we measured ba...
متن کاملStandard pulse oximeters can be used to monitor respiratory rate.
BACKGROUND One of the most important limitations of standard pulse oximeters is the inability to detect changes in respiratory rate until oxygenation is affected. This study sought to determine if analysis of the plethysmogram by wavelet transforms would enable the determination of changes in respiratory rate at an earlier stage. METHODS Ten healthy adult volunteers were monitored, breathing ...
متن کاملCan Occupancy–Abundance Models Be Used to Monitor Wolf Abundance?
Estimating the abundance of wild carnivores is of foremost importance for conservation and management. However, given their elusive habits, direct observations of these animals are difficult to obtain, so abundance is more commonly estimated from sign surveys or radio-marked individuals. These methods can be costly and difficult, particularly in large areas with heavy forest cover. As an altern...
