Latex immediate hypersensitivity has been documented in 28% to 67% of spina bifida patients, 2.6%-16.9% of health care workers and at least 1% of the general population. Additionally, it has been confirmed in food-sensitive individuals sensitive to cross-reacting foods such as chestnut, avocado,

The prevalence of latex allergies in healthcare workers has significantly increased over the past 2 decades. Increases in exposure to latex products in healthcare environments are related primarily to the use of gloves for barrier protection. In the early 1980s, with the implementation of universal

BACKGROUND There has been an increase in the incidence of occupational asthma along with better understanding of its pathophysiologic mechanisms and etiologic factors. There are no reports of patients with asthma and rhinitis to Passiflora alata (passion flower) and Rhamnus purshiana (cascara

The major birch pollen allergen, Bet v 1, responsible for allergic reactions in many areas of the world, is homologous to a large number of pathogenesis-related proteins (PRs), identified as PR10. As part of a long-range investigation of these types of proteins and of evolution in Passiflora, DNA

BACKGROUND Cross-reactions between latex and plant foods (mainly fruits) have been widely reported. Although the cross-reactive components have not been well identified, class I chitinases seem to be the most credible candidates in chestnut, avocado, and banana. OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate the

Five saponins purified from the leaves of three Ilex species (saponins 1 and 2 from I. dumosa; saponin 3 from I. argentina; saponin 4 from I. paraguariensis) and from Passiflora alata (saponin 5) were evaluated for their in vitro haemolytic activity and in vivo immunostimulatory ability in a mouse

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyze dentinal surfaces that were exposed to acidic beverages, then treated with Nd:YAG laser and afterwards exposed to acidic beverages again. BACKGROUND Dentin hypersensitivity can result from surface erosion caused by acidic beverages, which exposes
