Filter by:Preventing food allergic reactions predominantly relies on allergen avoidance and managing this daily causes high anxiety in some patients, while having an allergic reaction can cause a post-traumatic stress disorder-like syndrome in children. The underlying mechanisms of these psychological changes are poorly understood, but one potential mechanism may be post-natal hippocampal neurogenesis (HN). HN is the production of new neurons from stem cells in the hippocampus which is one of the brain centres for memory and mood regulation. HN has been associated with cognitive function and some psychiatric disorders. Importantly, it can be influenced by both internal (bloodstream) and external (exercise, diet, etc.) factors. This study will explore the link between food allergy and children's mental health and cognition, and to determine whether this is linked to changes in HN.
The aim of the present project is to clinically evaluate the bleaching effectiveness, tooth sensitivity, gingival irritation and patient´s satisfaction during a at-home bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide using a conventional bleaching tray or a clear aligner.
Use of first-line pre-operative antibiotic prophylaxis is the most effective measure to optimize perioperative outcomes. However, this is often not achieved due to unsubstantiated penicillin allergy labels. Penicillin allergy evaluation, when incorporated into routine pre-operative assessment, is potentially effective in optimizing choice of surgical prophylaxis. Despite the encouraging data mentioned above, there is a lack of randomized trials or local data to support this practice.
This study will assess the effect of taking vitamin C on allergy skin test.
The goal of this prospective mono centric study is to identify relevant commercially available allergen extracts for allergy testing in soldiers prepared for international mission. Participants will receive a skin prick test with the skin prick automated test device including 22 allergens and 2 controls on both forearms.
Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids or myomas) are benign, smooth muscle tumors of the human uterus. Most myomas are asymptomatic (symptomless) and are discovered incidentally during a routine pelvic examination or imaging studies and have a lifetime incidence of approximately 70% in the general population . However, Approximately 20-40% of women with fibroids experience significant symptoms and consult gynecologic care. The most common clinical symptoms include abnormal uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, infertility, and recurrent pregnancy loss The standard treatment of symptomatic leiomyomas is Abdominal myomectomy Blood loss during myomectomy can be intra-operative or postoperative and with hematoma formation. The average volume of blood loss during abdominal myomectomy is 200 to 800 ml. massive blood loss associated with the dissection of huge fibroids renders myomectomy a more technically challenging procedure than hysterectomy. Sometimes myomectomy is converted to hysterectomy intra-operatively when bleeding becomes heavy and uncontrollable or when it is impossible to reconstruct the uterus because of the many defects left by removal of multiple myomas . Many techniques are used to reduce blood loss during myomectomy; preoperative measures such as correction of preoperative anemia associated with menorrhagia may be treated with iron supplementation, use of gonadotropin (GHG) triggers prior to surgery. Intra-operative measures as use of tourniquet around the uterus during the operation, injections of Vasopressin or other vasopressors as epinephrine in the uterine muscle and use of ecbolic (misoprostol, oxytocin, and carbetocin etc.). Uterine artery ligation, embolization, or internal iliac artery ligation may also be used to avoid hysterectomy when heavy bleeding is anticipated or occurs during myomectomy
Studies in the literature suggest that people with obesity have an excess of stored iron. There is possibly an inverse relationship between ferritin levels and the actions of insulin on glycemic control. The reduction of stored iron by simply donating blood could result in improvements in glycemic control in people with obesity and prediabetes. We propose, to reduce ferritin levels through a standard donation of a unit of whole blood, and to measure if it positively affects glycemic control.
There are a lot of parents who believe that their child may not tolerate cow's milk because they develop symptoms such as redness of the skin or they may vomit. It is not always easy to find out if these infants should indeed avoid drinking cow's milk or that the symptoms are caused by something else, for instance because they have a viral illness. The goal of the investigators is to find out if cow's milk should be introduced in the hospital or if it can also be advised to perform the introduction at home to determine if an infant can drink cow's milk without developing symptoms. Half of the participants will drink cow's milk in the hospital. This test is performed on two days. On one of the days cow's milk will be offered. On the other day a look-alike substance is offered. The other half of the participants will drink cow's milk at home by starting to drink a little bit of milk and in a few steps drink a normal bottle of cow's milk. The main question is whether both tests can be used to find out if an infant can drink cow's milk without developing symptoms.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate, between patients with arterial hypertension and non hypertensive control group, - the prevalence of hidden hypercortisolism - the relationship between organ damage and oxidative stress level, cortisol secretion degree, sensitivity and peripheral activity
Influence of placing the esophageal probe on the cortisol response. Number of cortisol (non)responders and association of heart rate and subjective perception of stress with cortisol levels.
