background: evidence has shown a link between allergic disease and inflammatory bowel diseases (ibds). we investigated food allergy in iranian pediatric ibd patients. materials and methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted on a consecutive sample of children with newly  diagnosed ibd referring to mofid children’s university hospital in tehran (iran) between november 2013 and march 2015.dat...

BACKGROUND Previously reported incidences for intraoperative hypersensitivity reactions vary more than 15-fold. The goal was to determine the incidence of intraoperative hypersensitivity events at a U.S. surgical center. METHODS With institutional review board (Cleveland, Ohio) approval and waiver of written/informed consent, the anesthesia records of adult patients undergoing noncardiac surg...

BACKGROUND Drug hypersensitivity is defined as any unfavorable reaction that occurs after the administration of any drug. It may or may not be mediated by the involvement of the immune system. Epidemiological data related to drug hypersensitivity reactions in our country are scarce. OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of drug hypersensitivity in a group of young adults, as well as to identi...

AIM To determine the prevalence of different etiological factors of dentin hypersensitivity in patients and to provide information on their association with dentin hypersensitivity. METHODS AND MATERIALS Twenty-nine patients (17 male, 12 female) suffering from pain of dentin hypersensitivity were recruited to participate in the study. A relevant history was taken and dentin hypersensitivity c...

Clopidogrel is a new antiplatelet prescribed for the secondary prevention of atherosclerotic events. The literature shows that the clinical manifestations of clopidogrel hypersensitivity include urticaria1, skin rash2-4, and angioedema5. The precise immunological mechanism underlying clopidogrel hypersensitivity has not been established. We describe two cases of hypersensitivity reaction due to...

Paclitaxel, an anti-microtubule chemotherapeutic agent, is known for hypersensitivity reactions. Hypersensitivity reactions associated with paclitaxel may be secondary to its vehicle, Cremophor EL rather than the paclitaxel itself. In contrast, hypersensitivity reactions to parenteral nutrition are uncommon. Both the lipid component and multivitamin have been implicated in hypersensitivity reac...

Aims: to determine the prevalence of gingival recession and dentine hypersensitivity among the study population, and evaluate the distribution of dentine hypersensitivity among various types of teeth in mild, moderate and severe degrees of gingival recession. Relationship between the severity of gingival recession and dentine hypersensitivity was also evaluated. Materials and Methods: Clinical ...

BACKGROUND Carotid sinus syndrome is the association of carotid sinus hypersensitivity with syncope, unexplained falls and drop attacks in generally older people. We evaluated cardiac sympathetic innervation in this disorder in individuals with carotid sinus syndrome, asymptomatic carotid sinus hypersensitivity and controls without carotid sinus hypersensitivity. METHODS Consecutive patients ...

Background There have been no standard methods to predict the hypersensitivity to cephalosporin. The relationship between cephalosporin hypersensitivity and history of beta-lactam hypersensitivity is not clear. This retrospective study is to evaluate the reliability of routine prophylactic skin test with cefazolin in general population and the relationship between results of cefazolin skin test...

BACKGROUND Few population-based cohort studies have examined reported food hypersensitivity longitudinally. We investigated prevalence, incidence and remission of perceived food hypersensitivity among schoolchildren from 8 to 12 years of age, and risk factors associated with incidence and remission. METHODS A population-based cohort including all 7-8 year-old children in three Swedish towns w...
