Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

593
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs

365
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...

Drugs Used in Lower Respiratory Disorders: Overview

514
Lower respiratory tract disorders present challenges that often require skilled and nuanced approaches for effective management. Common ailments, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have prompted the development of intricate treatment strategies involving bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory drugs, each tailored to ease breathing and revitalize the lungs.
Bronchodilators, the first step of respiration enhancement, come in various forms, each with its own mechanism...

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

473
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

2.7K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Allergy Research
  • Pediatric Medicine

Background:

  • IgE-mediated food allergy is a growing health concern.
  • Oral immunotherapy (OIT) offers a potential treatment by increasing tolerance thresholds.
  • Factors like age, dose, and duration influence OIT effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of OIT in infants.
  • To explore the impact of early OIT initiation on desensitization rates.
  • To identify ongoing research in OIT protocol modifications and monitoring tools.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing studies on OIT for food allergies.
  • Analysis of factors influencing OIT success (age, dose, frequency, duration).
  • Examination of research on early OIT initiation in infants.

Main Results:

  • OIT demonstrates effectiveness and safety in infants.
  • Early OIT initiation can enhance desensitization rates, even for allergens with natural loss of allergy.
  • OIT increases the tolerance threshold to common food allergens.

Conclusions:

  • OIT is a viable treatment option for IgE-mediated food allergies.
  • Early intervention with OIT in infants shows promising results for desensitization.
  • Further research is needed to refine OIT protocols and monitoring strategies.
