Hereditary angioedema due to C1 inhibitor deficiency is characterized by recurrent acute attacks of swelling that can be painful and sometimes life-threatening.
A fundamental aspect of climate change is the potential shifts in flowering phenology and pollen initiation associated with milder winters warmer seasonal air temperature. Earlier floral anthesis has been suggested, turn, to have a role human disease by increasing time exposure that causes allergic rhinitis related asthma. However, earlier does not necessarily alter temporal duration season, and, date, no consistent continental trend season length demonstrated. Here we report ragweed...
Airborne pollen has major respiratory health impacts and anthropogenic climate change may increase concentrations extend seasons. While greenhouse field studies indicate that are correlated with temperature, a formal detection attribution of the role in continental seasons is urgently needed. Here, we use long-term data from 60 North American stations 1990 to 2018, spanning 821 site-years data, Earth system model simulations quantify human-caused patterns concentrations. We find widespread...
Allergic rhinitis affects the quality of life millions people worldwide. Air pollution not only causes morbidity, but nearly 3 million per year die from unhealthy indoor air exposure. Furthermore, allergic and interact. This report summarizes discussion an International Expert Consensus on management aggravated by pollution. The begins with a review outdoor pollutants followed epidemiologic evidence showing impact climate change upper airway rhinitis. Mechanisms, particularly oxidative...
Significance Coexposure to airborne pollen enhances susceptibility respiratory viral infections, regardless of the allergy status. We hypothesized this could be also true for SARS-CoV-2 infections. To investigate this, we tested relationships between infection rates and concentrations, along with humidity, temperature, population density, lockdown effects. Our unique dataset derives from 130 sites in 31 countries across five continents. found that pollen, sometimes synergy humidity...
We prospectively evaluated the clinical and immunologic features of serum sickness in 12 patients with bone-marrow failure treated for 10 days intravenous infusions horse antithymocyte globulin. Eleven had signs symptoms 8 to 13 after beginning therapy (including 11 sickness) acquired circulating immune complexes, peak levels occurring at days. Serum C4 C3 fell precipitously, nadirs on 10th day. Plasma C3a anaphylatoxin were elevated four whom it was measured. Eight a characteristic...
: Probiotic administration has been proposed for the prevention and treatment of specific allergic manifestations such as eczema, rhinitis, gastrointestinal allergy, food asthma. However, published statements scientific opinions disagree about clinical usefulness.: A World Allergy Organization Special Committee on Food Nutrition review evidence regarding use probiotics allergy.: qualitative narrative literature probiotic disease was carried out to address diversity variable quality relevant...
Many diseases are linked with climate trends and variations. In particular, change is expected to alter the spatiotemporal dynamics of allergenic airborne pollen potentially increase occurrence allergic airway disease. Understanding patterns changes in season timing levels thus important assessing impacts on aerobiology allergy caused by pollen. Here, we describe seasonal for multiple taxa different regions at a continental scale. The seasons representative trees, weeds grass during past...
Some previous research links stroke incidence to weather, some strokes air pollution, and report seasonal effects. Alveolar inflammation was proposed as the mechanistic link. We present a unified model of time, upper respiratory infection (URI) incidence.We combined existing databases: US Environmental Protection Agency pollution levels, National Weather Service data, counts airborne allergens, New York City Health Hospitals Corporation stroke, asthma, URI patients. used autoregressive...
