Filter by:An intermittent energy restricted (IER) diet may modify cardio-metabolic disease risk factors compared to an energy-matched continuous energy restricted (CER) diet. A randomised controlled parallel design trial will determine the impact of a short-term IER diet (2 consecutive days of very low calorie diet (VLCD), 5 days moderate energy restriction each week for a 4 week period), compared to a CER diet, on insulin sensitivity in healthy (disease-free) subjects with central obesity.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of enzalutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) as measured by radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) based on central review. The study also evaluated the safety of enzalutamide plus ADT in mHSPC.
Determination of allergenicity of cat dander samples obtained before and after vaccinating the cat
Anisakidae frequently infect fish species that are commonly eaten by humans. Some of them are recognized as zoonotic diseases agents, and have a high impact on human health. Infestation results from the ingestion of living larvae from contaminated fishes. It can be asymptomatic or symptomatic, resulting in acute gastric, acute intestinal or chronic forms. Allergic manifestations are frequently encountered in gastric forms, but allergic symptoms can also occur in isolation, after ingestion of Anisakidae antigens contained in raw or cooked fish, and may masquerade as fish allergy. In this study, we aim to characterize the relationship between Anisakidae and/or fish sensitization and the presence of allergic manifestations in patients recruited in the general population and presenting fish allergy resulting from ingestion, cutaneous or respiratory contact. We will also determine the respective role of Anisakidae or fish sensitization in patients with fish allergy. Then, we will determine the prevalence of previous Anisakidae infections among these patients and a matched control population. We will also compare the performances of serological tests (ImmunoCAP, immunoelectrophoresis and Western Blot) for the diagnosis of Anisakidae allergy or infection. Lastly, we will explore the relationship between domestic exposure to Anisakidae or fish antigens and the occurrence of associated pathologies (Anisakidae or fish allergy/sensitization; Anisakidae infection).
Food allergy affects up to 10% of the population. The mainstay of management involves dietary avoidance and provision of rescue medication in the event of an accidental reaction. The Integrated approaches to food allergen and allergy management (iFAAM) collaboration is an EU-funded academic/clinical/industry consortium with the aim to improve allergen risk management including food labelling. Much of this work requires the validation of the minimum 'eliciting dose' for the food-allergic population and how this can be translated into risk management. A number of studies (including iFAAM and the TRACE study - NCT01429896) have assessed the eliciting dose for peanut allergic patients, using food challenges where peanut-allergic individuals are eat incremental doses of peanut under strict medical supervision. In this extension study, peanut-allergic subjects will have undergone (in a cross-over manner) three double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenges to peanut: 1. incremental doses of peanut in a water-continuous matrix; 2. incremental doses of peanut baked into a cookie biscuit; 3. a single dose of peanut in a water-continuous matrix. The differences in eliciting dose, symptom pattern and underlying physiological mechanisms will provide essential data on how the presentation and consumption of peanut affects the amount needed to trigger an allergic reaction, to inform industry and food regulators as to how to best protect the food-allergic population.
Anisakidae frequently infect fish species that are commonly eaten by humans. Some of them are recognized as zoonotic agents, and have a high impact on human health. Infestation results from the ingestion of living larvae from contaminated fishes. It can be asymptomatic or symptomatic, resulting in acute gastric, acute intestinal or chronic forms. Allergic manifestations are frequently encountered in gastric forms, but isolated allergic symptoms can occur after ingestion of Anisakidae antigens in raw or cooked fish. Cutaneous contact or Anisakis allergen inhalation have also been reported to induce allergy/anaphylactic reactions or sensitization in the occupational setting in Spain, Italy, Sicilia or South Africa. But no data is available in France. In this context, the investigators propose to determine and compare the frequency and characteristics of fish allergy in fish workers (fishermen and fish-processing factory workers) and a control population of workers without occupational exposure to fish, in Boulogne-sur-Mer, which is an important fishing port in France, and the first European center for fish processing.
This study investigates the effects of bioactive fatty acids in full fat dairy (whole yogurt), on insulin action, calorie needs, blood lipids, immune function, and body composition in normal and overweight male and female volunteers.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the more efficient dose for the treatment of rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis against grass pollen allergy
The Purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Danggui-Sayuk-Ga-Osuyu-Saenggang-tang(DSGOST) on Korean Patients With Cold Hypersensitivity in the Hands
BM32 is a product for immunotherapy of grass pollen allergies. It consists of 4 different recombinant proteins (BM321, BM322, BM325 and BM326) adsorbed on alhydrogel. This prospective, double-blind. placebo controlled, mono-centric trial investigates the levels of allergen specific IgG antibodies following 3, 4 or 5 subcutaneous injections before the grass pollen season.
