Methods of reducing fever01:22

Methods of reducing fever

1.4K
The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs

1.9K
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition for which new therapeutic avenues, including anti-inflammatory drugs like mast cell stabilizers and anti-IgE treatments, continue to be developed.
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...

Hypersensitivities

7.8K
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

Allergic Reactions: Anaphylaxis01:30

Allergic Reactions: Anaphylaxis

18
Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction mediated by Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. When IgE binds to allergens, it triggers the release of mediators– histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins from mast cells and basophils. These mediators cause vasodilation, edema, and inflammation, leading to various symptoms.The primary allergens causing anaphylaxis include food items (e.g., peanuts, shellfish), drugs (e.g., penicillin, asparaginase, corticotropin,...

Antiasthma Drugs: Leukotriene Modifiers01:19

Antiasthma Drugs: Leukotriene Modifiers

1.9K
Leukotriene modifiers, or cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonists, are medications used to manage chronic asthma. These agents target specific inflammatory mediators produced during arachidonic acid metabolism, an essential process in generating inflammation in the body.
Leukotriene modifiers work through two distinct mechanisms:

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

1.1K
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Cold urticaria can cause severe reactions, including anaphylaxis, not just itching. While avoiding cold and using medication helps, many patients with cold urticaria improve over time.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Cold urticaria is a physical urticaria often presenting with mild pruritus.
    • Severe anaphylactic reactions, though rare, are possible complications of cold urticaria.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a case of severe cold urticaria in a healthy male runner.
    • To highlight the potential for severe reactions and discuss management strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of a healthy male runner experiencing pruritus and urticaria after cold exposure.
    • Review of management strategies including cold avoidance and prophylactic medications.

    Main Results:

    • The patient experienced intermittent, severe pruritus and urticaria following cold exposure during running.
    • Prophylactic measures such as avoiding cold and using mast cell-stabilizing medications showed modest success.
    • Patients with cold urticaria often experience spontaneous improvement over time.

    Conclusions:

    • Cold urticaria can manifest with severe symptoms, including anaphylaxis.
    • Management involves a combination of avoidance, medication, and awareness of potential for improvement.
