Pandemija COVID-19 na različite je načine ugrozila mentalno zdravlje ljudi. Neki autori smatraju da predstavlja svojevrsnu kolektivnu traumu, pa očekivano se kod nekih osoba pokreću procesi koji potiču tzv. posttraumatski rast. Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio ispitati i rast nastavnika Univerziteta u Sarajevu jer su suočili s izmijenjenim načinom rada. Ukupno 286 nastavnika, 181 ženskoga 105 muškog...

Peripheral blood lymphocytes from 10 nonallergic donors and 7 patients suffering from seasonal allergic rhinitis and receiving desensitization therapy were analyzed by rosette assays for Fc receptors for IgE (Fc epsilon R) and IgG (Fc gamma R) before, during and after the grass pollen season. Six of seven patients had moderately elevated IgE levels (330 +/- 268 IU/ml), all had high titers of sk...

Background: Allergic reactions to fish are a common cause of food allergy in many areas of the world where fish is a major source of protein. Although different species of fish may be consumed, possible cross-reactivity has received limited investigation. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess potential cross-reactivity to different species of fish species using double-blind, placebo-co...

To identify patterns of clinical history associated with extreme (high or low) probabilities of allergic sensitization in coughing children so as to restrict allergy testing to those with an intermediate probability of sensitization. A total of 752 children, aged 1-4, visiting their GPs for coughing (>or=5 days), were tested for IgE-antibodies to house dust mite, cat and dog [RadioAllergoSorben...

INTRODUCTION Skin testing with major and minor determinants of benzylpenicillin is the recommended standard practice to evaluate subjects with immediate hypersensitivity to betalactams. The withdrawal of these products from the market has set us back to the early days, before the introduction of reagents for in vivo testing. OBJECTIVES To compare a recently released kit of benzylpenicillin co...

Species selected from six families of the class Basidiomycetes were evaluated for allergenicity in atopic and nonatopic individuals and for immunogenicity and antigenic cross-reactivity in experimental animals. Between 42% and 68% of atopic asthmatics demonstrated positive Type 1 wheal-and-flare skin reactivity to basidiomycete metabolic and somatic antigens. Sixty-four percent of skin test-pos...

Body weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT) and robotic-assisted step training (RAST) have not, so far, led to better outcomes than a comparable dose of progressive over-ground training (OGT) for disabled persons with stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or cerebral palsy. The conceptual bases for these promising rehabilitation interventions had once seemed ...

A survey was conducted at 15 textile plants with dyehouses in western Sweden. Employees with a history of work related rhinitis, asthma, or skin symptoms were offered a clinical and immunological investigation including skin prick tests, skin patch tests, and radioallergosorbent tests (RASTs) to detect specific allergy to reactive dyes. Among the 1142 employees, 162 were exposed to reactive dye...
