Background: Health‐related quality of Life in patients with chronic urticaria is evaluated by mean generic instruments or questionnaire designed for skin diseases. No disease‐specific tool now available the assessment impact from patients’ viewpoint. Objective: The aim our study to develop and validate a new specifically life (Chronic Urticaria Quality Questionnaire – CU‐Q 2 oL) Methods: In development phase oL an initial list items 37 was compiled given 80 urticaria; 23 most significant...
Background: Few articles are available about chronic urticaria (CU) impact on patients’ quality of life (QoL). The aim our study was to evaluate QoL in CU patients both focusing health status and subjective satisfaction. We adopted two generic tools: SF‐36 (an questionnaire) SAT‐P (a satisfaction profile). Methods: Twenty‐one untreated (five males, 16 females; aged 46.3 ± 12.4) affected by CU, were enrolled. scores compared with a group 27 respiratory allergy. Published reference values 608...
Abstract Climacostol, a compound produced by the ciliated protozoan Climacostomum virens , displayed cytotoxic properties in vitro . This study demonstrates that it has anti-tumour potential. Climacostol caused reduction of viability/proliferation B16-F10 mouse melanoma cells, rapidly occurring DNA damage, and induced intrinsic apoptotic pathway characterised dissipation mitochondrial membrane potential, translocation Bax to mitochondria, release Cytochrome c from activation Caspase...
1. We used electrophysiological and binding techniques to determine the effects of oxygen free radicals (OFRs) generated by dihydroxyfumaric acid (DHF, 5 mM) on calcium current dihydropyridine sites in guinea-pig isolated ventricular myocytes. 2. Binding [3H]-PN200-110 myocytes revealed one population with a KD 0.11 +/- 0.01 nM Bmax 139.1 6.9 fmol mg-1 protein (n = 24). After 15 min exposure DHF, density, but not affinity was significantly (P < 0.01) reduced 35% control value (Bmax 49.4 3.7...
A variety of surgical procedures have been developed to accelerate orthodontic treatment adult patients seeking enhance their smiles or masticatory function. While most these techniques are invasive, the minimally invasive piezocision technique reduces trauma by combining microincisions and localized piezoelectric bone surgery. method for with use computed tomography is presented here. By creating a three-dimensional model arch, depth location corticotomies can be precisely planned, guide...
ABSTRACTBackground: Allergic rhinitis is a high-prevalence disease that affects quality of life (QOL), sleep and productivity patients. According to the ARIA initiative, it classified as intermittent persistent, latter being most troublesome.Methods: The aim this randomized, open-label, 6-month, pilot study was determine whether levocetirizine 5 mg administered continuously once daily in morning better than on-demand symptomatic subjects with persistent allergic rhinitis. Total individual...
Contact tracing is a core strategy for preventing the spread of many infectious diseases public health concern. Better understanding outcomes contact COVID-19 as well operational opportunities and challenges in establishing program jurisdiction large New York City (NYC) important evaluation this strategy.To describe establishment, scaling, maintenance Trace, NYC's program, share data on during its first 17 months.This cross-sectional study included people with laboratory test-confirmed...
<i>Background:</i> Desloratadine (DL) and levocetirizine (LCZ) are the newest commercialized antihistamines. Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics clinical data available for both drugs, but there is to date no direct comparison involving nose skin at same time. We compared effects of a single dose two drugs in over 24 h. <i>Methods:</i> Twenty-three patients with symptomatic allergic rhinitis were enrolled randomized double-blind crossover administration DL LCZ. The...
Background: Tacrolimus is the primary calcineurin inhibitor used in immunosuppressive regimens to prevent allograft rejection (AR) after organ transplantation. Recent studies have linked intrapatient variability (IPV) of tacrolimus with AR occurrence and reduced survival, especially kidney transplant recipients. However, limited data are available on impact IPV adverse outcomes liver transplantation (LT). Aims: The aim this study was assess association between using various methodologies...
<i>Background:</i> Adverse reactions to drugs are common in the clinical practice. Many outpatients frequently referred allergists order determine which they can safely take future. <i>Objective:</i> We set up an oral single-dose tolerance test procedure find out for each patient one or more alternative that be taken when needed. <i>Methods:</i> 452 (130 male, 322 female) with well-documented (urticaria/angioedema, respiratory symptoms, laryngeal edema,...
