Mashup Score: 31
Primary Myelofibrosis previously also known as Agnogenic Myeloid Metaplasia or Idiopathic Myelofibrosis is a complex myeloproliferative disease. Although the initial genetic insult that causes uncontrolled proliferation of the defective Hematopoietic Stem Cell/Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell is still elusive, literature is being enriched with reports on the molecular mechanisms that provide growth advantage to the mutant clone and the secondary events that lead to stem cell mobilization, bone marrow

Mashup Score: 1Allergen skin test responses in broad U.S. asthma population in those with and without rhinitis - 5 month(s) ago
Background: Asthma and allergic rhinitis are pathologically interlinked conditions. Despite skin testing (ST) being pivotal for evaluating allergic sensitization, U.S. data that date back to 1960s on ST reactivity patterns in subjects with asthma remain sparse. Objective: The purpose of this study was to elucidate seasonal, perennial ST responses, and their relationship with asthma severity, early versus late onset disease, and immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. Methods: Five hundred patients with asthma

Allergy IS important with asthma. Or at least, it's probably not unimportant. đ Some highlights: -75% positive (+) to 1 allergen -68% (+) for 1-7 -almost 2/3 late-onset (ie adult) asthma subjects had allergic reactivity https://t.co/7GSdGICFR4

Mashup Score: 5Standardization of food allergen ladders for optimal effectiveness and patient safety - 10 month(s) ago
The use of extensively heated (EH) milk and egg products, and dietary advancement therapies such as milk and egg ladders is increasingly common for the management of milk and egg allergies. Although the majority of patients with milk and egg allergies will outgrow their allergies, the ability to tolerate extensively hydrolyzed forms of these allergens is an early indicator of developing long-term tolerance. The denaturation of conformational epitopes during the heating process reduces the allergenicity

Despite excitement around baked ladders, balanced/cautious approaches are important. @DrDougMackMD Stay tuned for a full episode discussing this topic #TheAllergist https://t.co/Z5dhxAlNmd

Mashup Score: 3Variability in Cultural Understandings of Consciousness: A Call for Dialogue with Native Psychologies - 1 year(s) ago
Investigation of Indigenous concepts and their meanings is highly inspirational for contemporary science because these concepts represent adaptive solutions in various environmental and social milieus. Past research has shown that conceptualizations of consciousness can vary widely between cultural groups from different geographical regions. The present study explores variability among a few of the thousands of Indigenous cultural understandings of consciousness. Indigenous concepts of consciousness are

Mashup Score: 1Understanding patient-level costs of weekly isoniazid-rifapentine...: Ingenta Connect - 1 year(s) ago
BACKGROUND: Twelve weeks of weekly isoniazid and rifapentine (3HP) prevents TB disease among people with HIV (PWH), but the costs to people of taking TB preventive treatment is not well described. METHODS: We surveyed PWH who initiated 3HP at a large urban HIV/AIDS clinic in Kampala, Uganda, as part of a larger trial. We estimated the cost of one 3HP visit from the patient perspective, including…

Background:The susceptibility of the atopic population to respiratory infections (RI) has not been fully elucidated. This susceptibility is attributed to the immune dysregulation that characterizes atopic diseases. Although, the exact mechanisms involved are not fully understood, there is evidence that shows that the maturation of innate immunity progresses differently in patients with atopy….
