A post-hoc qualitative analysis of real time heads-up pollen counting versus traditional microscopy counting in the environmental exposure unit (EEU)
Methods Airborne grass pollen was collected in the EEU via a Rotorod impact sampler. The pollen grains on each sampling rod were counted using both traditional and headsup microscopy. The heads-up technique incorporated a microscope camera to create an on-screen image of the sampling rod. Firstly, unique images were created by manually advancing the stage, without duplicating previously capture...
متن کاملEnvironmental Exposure Unit Study of Cetirizine Hydrochloride in Japanese Cedar Pollinosis
Background: Cedar pollinosis is a widespread seasonal allergy that is unique to Japan. Environmental exposure units (EEU) assist in the development of effective therapeutic and preventive measures because outdoor studies are limited by seasonal variation in pollen exposure. Objectives: We constructed an EEU to conduct a randomized cross-over double-blind placebo-controlled study of the effi cac...
متن کاملOnset of action for loratadine tablets for the symptomatic control of seasonal allergic rhinitis in adults challenged with ragweed pollen in the Environmental Exposure Unit: a post hoc analysis of total symptom score
Background Loratadine is a second-generation, non-sedating antihistamine used for the relief of allergic rhinitis symptoms. Previous studies reported that when loratadine was encapsulated, the onset of action for symptom relief was 180 min. However, unmodified loratadine tablets were not evaluated at that time. Using data from a previously published Environmental Exposure Unit (EEU) study compa...
متن کاملAdd-on histamine receptor-3 antagonist for allergic rhinitis: a double blind randomized crossover trial using the environmental exposure unit
BACKGROUND Oral antihistamines that target the histamine receptor-1, such as fexofenadine, offer suboptimal relief of allergic rhinitis-associated nasal congestion. Combinations with oral sympathomimetics, such as pseudoephedrine, relieve congestion but produce side effects. Previous animal and human studies with histamine receptor-3 antagonists, such as PF-03654764, demonstrate promise. METH...
متن کاملClinical validation of controlled grass pollen challenge in the Environmental Exposure Unit (EEU)
RATIONALE The Environmental Exposure Unit (EEU), a controlled allergen exposure model of allergic rhinitis (AR), has traditionally utilized ragweed pollen. We sought to clinically validate the use of grass pollen in the EEU. METHODS Healthy volunteers with a history of AR symptoms during grass pollen season and supportive skin test responses attended the EEU for 3 hrs of rye grass pollen expo...
