Hypersensitivities

4.3K
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 Drug Reactions

1.2K
Allergic reactions related to drugs are hypersensitivity responses driven by the immune system and bear no connection to the drug's therapeutic action. While drugs in isolation do not trigger an immune response, they can interact with endogenous proteins to form antigens. These antigens stimulate lymphocytes to produce antibodies. IgE-type antibodies attach themselves to mast cells. Upon subsequent exposure to the same stimulus, the antigen-antibody interaction is initiated, unleashing...

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

968
Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

Asthma-I: Introduction

3.0K
Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment that requires careful management due to its varying symptoms and influencing factors. It is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversible airflow obstruction, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The symptom frequency and intensity may vary considerably over time. It is also linked to immune system responses to allergens and irritants, highlighting the complex...

Antibody Structure

62.9K
Overview
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
The Y-Shaped Structure of Antibodies Consists of Four Polypeptide Chains
Antibodies consist of four polypeptide chains: two identical heavy...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Allergy and Immunology

Background:

  • Anaphylaxis is a serious noncommunicable disease impacting quality of life.
  • A significant number of anaphylaxis deaths are preventable.
  • Current data collection for anaphylaxis mortality and morbidity statistics (MMS) faces challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current global epidemiological data on anaphylaxis.
  • To identify strategies for improving patient care and prevention.
  • To highlight the importance of accurate data for public health planning.

Main Methods:

  • Review of global epidemiological data on anaphylaxis.
  • Analysis of current challenges in anaphylaxis data collection.
  • Discussion of the impact of International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-11 implementation.

Main Results:

  • Anaphylaxis morbidity appears to be increasing globally.
  • Anaphylaxis mortality is generally low and stable but difficult to capture accurately.
  • Improved data quality is essential for understanding risk factors and targeting interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate and comparable epidemiological data is key to improving anaphylaxis care.
  • The ICD-11 will facilitate better data collection for anaphylaxis.
  • Enhanced data supports healthcare planning and public health measures for anaphylaxis prevention and management.
