Rehabilitation Protocol for Disorders on Hand Sensitivity in Multiple Sclerosis Patients.
Multiple SclerosisSensory disorders in patients with multiple sclerosis are among the most common symptoms encountered. A functional impairment based on sensory disorders of the hand. The hand is a sensory organ that transmits the cerebral cortex protopathic sensitive information, proprioceptive or epicritiques. The view-hand association plays an important role in the understanding of the environment. Its exploratory use remains an essential and voluntary basis. The process of recognition of the object passes through manipulation, but operates instantaneously. The brain is able to do a quick summary of the information it receives to determine the nature of the manipulated object. The exploration takes a posteriori, the brain can then determine the details component object (texture, shape, composition, temperature and weight). Neurophysiological mechanisms that would explain the analgesic effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) are not fully understood. Several theories underlying its use as a neuromodulator of pain. The gate control theory has led to the development of TENS devices. Recruitment of myelinated, large caliber, by the TENS electrodes afferent fibers increases the control exerted on spinal level, thereby inhibiting the action of afferent fibers of small caliber related to nociception. This stimulation strengthens the blocking of "gate" at the corresponding cell bodies of spinothalamic tract and reduces the transmission of nociceptive impulses to the spinal cord dorsal horn. This is segmental presynaptic inhibition depends on the area and stimulated. The objective of this study is to improve the quality of life through improved sensitivity disorders of the hand in patients with MS, thanks to reeducation of the hand.
The Effect of Per Oral Immunotherapy in Severe IgE Mediated Egg, Milk, and Nut Allergy in Adults...
Food AllergyIn Finland, the estimated prevalence of physician-diagnosed food allergy in 1-4 year old children is 9%, and the most common allergen is milk. The overall food allergy has been reported to be 3.7%. Hen's egg allergy is among the most common food allergies in childhood. In addition, it predicts later development of allergic disease such as asthma. Most of the egg and milk allergy is transient and disappears in childhood. Currently, the standard of care for food allergy includes strict allergen avoidance. However, oral immunotherapy has been under investigation in children milk, egg, and wheat allergy. Previously, induction of clinical egg tolerance has been reported with egg oral immunotherapy in children aged from 3 to 13 years. In adults, strict avoidance is still the standard care but there is also growing interest in treatment of severe food allergy with oral immunotherapy or anti-IgE. The investigators aim to analyse the results of per oral immunotherapy treatment in severe IgE-mediated egg, milk, and nut allergy in adults. Could severe egg, milk and nut allergy be treated with oral immunotherapy treatment in stead of total allergen avoidance and could desensitization thus be achieved?

A Study to Investigate the Safety and Pharmacodynamics of Repeat Intranasal Administration of the...
Asthma and RhinitisGSK2245035 is a highly selective Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist that stimulates preferentially the induction of type I interferons. Intranasal (i.n.) administration of GSK2245035 in humans causes immune changes in the upper airways milieu that may alter bystander immune responsiveness to aeroallergens and contribute to reduction of allergic reactivity in subjects with respiratory allergies. The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and pharmacodynamics (PD) of repeat dosing with i.n. GSK2245035 in subjects with respiratory allergies. The safety and pharmacodynamic response of four weekly administrations of escalating doses of i.n. GSK2245035 will be investigated and the maximum tolerated dose will be established. The study will be conducted in patients with symptomatic allergic rhinitis and mild asthma. The overall duration of the study will be up to a maximum of approximately 122 days considering 90 days screening period, 22 days treatment period and 10 days follow-up period.

Study to Evaluate Dupilumab Monotherapy in Pediatric Patients With Peanut Allergy
Peanut AllergyThe primary objective of the study is to assess the tolerability of peanut protein in pediatric patients (6-17 years old) treated with dupilumab monotherapy, in which tolerability is defined as the proportion of patients who safely pass a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) at week 24. The secondary objectives are: To determine whether dupilumab treatment improves peanut tolerability, defined as a change in the cumulative tolerated dose (log transformed) of peanut protein during a DBPCFC To evaluate the safety and tolerability of dupilumab treatment in peanut allergic patients To evaluate the effects of dupilumab treatment on the levels of peanut-specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) To evaluate the treatment effect of dupilumab on the average wheal size after a titrated skin prick test (SPT), as measured by area under curve (AUC) of the average wheal size induced by peanut extract at different concentrations To assess the incidence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies (ADA) to dupilumab in patients over time
