Allergic-like reactions occur in premedicated patients
Allergic-like reactions can occur in patients (both children and adults) when given gadolinium containing contrast agents, even if they have been pre-medicated with corticosteroids and antihistamines, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan Health Systems in Ann Arbor. view more (2008-02-11)
Experts research world-first tests for allergic reactions to medication
It is estimated that up to 10,000 UK hospital patients each year suffer an allergic reaction to anaesthetics, and that one in every 100-200 consumers of penicillin has an allergic response to it. Allergic reactions to fairly common medications generally occur unexpectedly and often within minutes of drug administration, but there are few... view more... (1999-05-24)
Severe and fatal allergic reactions to food in children are rare
Fears that the rates of severe or fatal allergic reactions to food are increasing dramatically are unfounded, finds a national, 10 year, study in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. Such reactions are rare in the UK, but children who have asthma are at greater risk, the findings show. view more (2002-03-21)
Canberra parents lack allergy awareness: Study
Nearly four per cent of ACT kindergarten children have a peanut allergy and while the region's schools are well prepared to cope with this, some parents are taking inappropriate action when dealing with their child's allergy, according to a new study. view more (2009-03-17)
Blocked gene may provide new treatment for allergies
Allergic reactions like hay fever can recur over long periods since the allergenic mast cells survive and revive. A team of Uppsala scientists have now identified the mast cell's survival gene, and by blocking this gene, they can inhibit allergic reactions, opening new avenues for treatment. These findings have been published in Monday's issue... view more... (2001-12-05)
Students with food allergies often not prepared
College students with food allergies aren't avoiding the foods they know they shouldn't eat. Students of all ages are not treated with potentially life-saving epinephrine as often as they should be. And instructors, roommates and friends often are not aware of what to do if a food-allergic student has a reaction. view more (2008-08-06)
Desensitization protocol overcomes allergy to clopidogrel
A careful desensitization protocol can help patients overcome allergic reactions to anti-clotting medication critical to preventing new blockages inside coronary stents. view more (2006-05-12)
Role seen for cannabis in helping to alleviate allergic skin disease
Administering a substance found in the cannabis plant can help the body's natural protective system alleviate an allergic skin disease (allergic contact dermatitis), an international group of researchers from Germany, Israel, Italy, Switzerland and the U.S. has found. view more (2007-08-17)
Stressed intestine can give rise to food allergy
The intestines of mice which have been subjected to stress, overreact to certain nutritional substances. PhD biologist Annette van Kalkeren from the University of Amsterdam has investigated the relationship between stress and the occurrence of food allergies and various intestinal disorders. The biologist investigated the reaction of pieces of... view more... (2002-04-18)
Scientists puzzled by severe allergic reaction to cancer drug in the middle Southern US
A patient's expectations about the side effects of chemotherapy usually focus on nausea, hair loss, fatigue and other side effects. Worries about severe allergic reactions to their therapy is usually not a concern. view more (2007-08-21)
Allergy season: Cigarettes to the rescue?
Everyone knows that smoking can kill you, but did you know that it may help with your allergies? A new study shows that cigarette smoke can prevent allergies by decreasing the reaction of immune cells to allergens. view more (2009-05-15)
Enzyme and vitamin define the yin and yang of asthma
The allergen breathed in by a person with asthma triggers a proteinase or enzyme called MMP7 that activates a cascade of events to prompt an allergic reaction. view more (2009-03-30)
Scientists discover way to control allergic reactions
Scientists have discovered a novel method to reduce cat allergic reactions by topping up the immune cells responsible for controlling them. view more (2005-04-06)
Malfunction of the respiratory epithelium is a cause of allergy?
One reason for the development of allergy may be malfunction of the respiratory epithelium, which allows allergens to bind to, enter and travel through the epithelium. view more (2009-04-03)
Of Mice and Peanuts: A new mouse model for peanut allergy
Chicago researchers report the development of a new mouse model for food allergy that mimics symptoms generated during a human allergic reaction to peanuts. view more (2009-01-13)
A site for sore eyes: New target for allergies found under the eyelid
Scientists have found a protein in the eye which plays a critical role in how an allergic response develops over a 24-hour period. The University College London (UCL) team hope their discovery will pave the way for new treatments for allergic diseases such as asthma, eczema and hay fever. view more (2005-01-11)
Most vaccine-allergic children can still be safely vaccinated, Hopkins experts say
With close monitoring and a few standard precautions, nearly all children with known or suspected vaccine allergies can be safely immunized, according to a team of vaccine safety experts led by the Johns Hopkins Children's Center. view more (2008-09-02)
National Jewish Medical and Research Center Evaluating Treatment To Prevent Allergic Reactions to Food
Researchers at National Jewish Medical and Research Center are conducting trials to evaluate a method to prevent allergic reactions to food. They are feeding peanut- and egg-allergic people increasing doses of an investigational protein extract from the foods to see if they can induce the participants' immune systems to tolerate the food. view more (2008-04-18)
Research Finds Allergic Children Exposed to Peanuts at Younger and Younger Ages Despite Recommendations To Avoid Until Age 3
The age at which children are exposed to peanuts and have an allergic response has dropped significantly over the last decade, despite recommendations that at-risk families avoid exposing children to peanuts during the first three years of life. view more (2007-12-05)
