background during the recent decades, there have been two major leaps in treatment of depression using the medication to pacify and relieve depression signs and behavior cognitive therapy. the available evidences emphasize the treatment success with some group training methods including stress management, cognitive group therapy, and eye movement desensitization in reducing depression. objectiv...

the primary immunodeficiency (pi) disorders are abnormalities in development and maturation of the immune system. individuals with pi disease may experience frequent infections, which limit their abilities to exhibit physical and psychological well-being secondary to their illness. in this survey we compared health-related quality of life of primary immune deficient patients with healthy childr...

it has been recognized that acute and chronic stress has an impact on the immune system. acute stress may have a stimulating effect on the immune system, while in the case of chronic stress specially depression, the immune system could be down-regulated. however, an association between depression and a higher number of circulating white blood cells with increased activity has been reported. ele...

• ABO-incompatible kidney transplant requires extensive preconditioning for desensitization and immunosuppression. Early graft function is affected by ischemic-reperfusion injury involving immune systems. We retrospectively examined a single-institution database to assess the factors associated with early function. Prolonged cold ischemic time ABO incompatibility in living donor transplantation...

This study aimed to investigate the psychophysiological correlates and the effectiveness of different dual-attention tasks used during eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Sixty-two non-clinical participants with negative autobiographical memories received a single session of EMDR without eye movements, or EMDR that included eye movements of either varied or fixed rate of speed...

Peroral administration of allergen during hyposensitization therapy with allergic patients is in comparison with an administration by injection of a wilder inductor of specific IgG antibodies. The peroral administration of bacterial immunomodulators increases IgG formation significantly. The described experiment examines the influence of bacterial immunomodulator Olimunostim on the level of spe...

Introduction: Amyloid diseases have been known to be hereditary, including transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis where subunit protein mutations may occur in genes for TTR leading to the deposition of fibrils (low molecular weight subunits (5 to 25 kD) of proteins) in extracellular tissues. By reducing the formation of TTR amyloid, diflunisal, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), has shown ...

Usage of cancer chemotherapeutics drugs can be associated with adverse drug reactions. When IgE-mediated drug reactions are formed following administration of a chemotherapeutic drug that is a drug of choice, drug desensitization protocols can be helpful. Hypersensitivity reactions can be allergic or nonallergic, but the clinical manifestations are similar. Rapid drug desensitization (RDD) is e...
