Allergic Drug Reactions

1.1K
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...

Development of Immunocompetence

561
The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...

Hypersensitivities

3.8K
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...

Taste Buds and Receptors

3.4K
Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy

478
Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Allergy and Immunology
  • Infant Nutrition and Immunology

Background:

  • Atopic dermatitis and food allergy are prevalent allergic conditions in infants.
  • Both immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated and non-IgE-mediated food allergies occur in infancy.
  • Recent decades have seen significant shifts in infant feeding guidelines due to evolving allergy understanding.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of food allergy in the infant population.
  • To focus on the identification, diagnosis, management, and prevention strategies for infant food allergy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current research and guidelines on infant food allergy.
  • Synthesis of information on IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediated food allergy mechanisms.
  • Analysis of changes in early life feeding recommendations.

Main Results:

  • Food allergy is a common infant condition with diverse presentations.
  • Understanding of IgE-mediated food allergy has driven recent guideline changes.
  • A multi-faceted approach is necessary for effective infant food allergy management.

Conclusions:

  • Effective identification, diagnosis, management, and prevention are crucial for infant food allergy.
  • Current feeding guidelines reflect improved understanding of food allergy.
  • Further research may refine infant feeding strategies for allergy prevention.
