چکیده
INTRODUCTION In Portugal, data on the role of Der p 1 and Der p 2 in patients with house dust mite (HDM) allergy are scarce. Allergen-specific immunotherapy (sIT) is the only treatment that improves symptoms, reduces the need for pharmacological therapy and modifies the natural history of the disease. With this study, the authors aim to understand the local epidemiology and to clarify if the molecular assay of major allergens is advantageous in deciding and/or modifying the decision to initiate sIT in children with clinical indication which are sensitized to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. METHODS Retrospective study with analysis of patients with asthma and/or rhinitis. STUDY PERIOD January/2013-December/2016. INCLUSION CRITERIA 1) positive prick-test to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus; and 2) clinically relevant disease under treatment. Assay Der p 1 and Der p 2 values ≥0.35 kUA/L were considered positive. Statistical significance was set at P<.05. RESULTS The clinical files of 279 patients. Mean ages 9.55 years (min.4-max.17). Asthma was present in 199 children (71.3%) and rhinitis in 245 (87.8%). Der p 1 and Der p 2 was <0.35kUA/L in 29 (10,4%) patients. The value of Der p 1/Der p 2 correlated with the size of the prick-test papule, the value of the eosinophils and the total IgE. CONCLUSIONS Der p 1 and Der p 2 are dominant allergens in our population and there may be benefits in determining these molecular allergen levels in patients with a positive prick-test and a clinical indication for sIT prior to a decision of initiating sIT or not.

The phase transition of corrected black hole with f(R) gravity
In this letter, we consider static black hole in f(R) gravity.We take advantage from corrected entropy and temperature and investigate such black hole. Finally, we study the $ P - V $ critically and phase transition of corrected black hole with respect to entropy and temperature. Here also, we obtain the heat capacity for the static black hole in $ f(R) $ gravity. This calculation help us...
متن کاملEvaluation of Topical Pre-Fluoride Therapy Effects on Marginal Microleakage of Composite Restorations in Deciduous Teeth: An In Vitro Study
Background and Aim: Since fluoride therapy is usually the first step of treatment in pediatric dentistry and it may interfere with other treatments, such as composite fill-ing, this study aimed to evaluate the possible effects of topical pre-fluoride therapy on marginal microleakage of composite restorations in deciduous teeth. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro study, 30 deciduous canine...
متن کاملVolumetric properties of high temperature, high pressure supercritical fluids from improved van der Waals equation of state
In the present work, a modified equation of state has been presented for the calculation of volumetric properties of supercritical fluids. The equation of state is van der Waals basis with temperature and density-dependent parameters. This equation of state has been applied for predicting the volumetric properties of fluids. The densities of fluids were calculated from the new equation of state...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Little is known about component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) for Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) sensitization in the Chinese population. We aimed to evaluate sensitization to Der p components in southern China. METHODS Two-hundred immunotherapy-naïve patients with asthma and/or rhinitis positive to specific IgE (sIgE) against Der p extract, along with 20 Der p-neg...
