Active clinical trials for "Hypersensitivity"

The primary objective of study was to compare insertion ease by standard and rotational LMA insertion technique on basis of LMA insertion attempts and insertion time duration. The secondary objective of study was to analyse impact of prior information for airway device, insertion techniques, general or specific work experience in airway management with ease of both insertion techniques. And, tertiary objective of study was to analyse the trainee's preference insertion technique on basis of learning method and practical adaptability. Hypothesis: The rotational LMA insertion technique is easy to understand and practice than the standard LMA insertion technique at the beginning of airway management training among the novice anesthesiologists.

This Study is to evaluate the utility of prospective HLA-B*1301 screening on the incidence of dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS) in 3130 previously Dapsone(DDS)-naive patients. Those patients include allergic cutaneous vasculitis, urticaria, psoriasis, acne, bullous skin diseases, sterile pustulosis, leprosy, pneumocystis pneumonia and any other patients who need dapsone administration. The study has two (co-primary) objectives: i) to determine if screening for HLA-B*1301 prior to DDS-containing treatment results in a lower incidence of clinically-suspected DHS versus current standard of care (no genetic screening) and ii) to determine if screening for HLA-B*1301 prior to DDS-containing treatment results in a significantly lower incidence of immunologically-confirmed DHS versus current standard of care (no genetic screening or patch testing). The study consists of up to a 5-day screening period, a randomised observation period (Day 1 through Week 6) and, for subjects experiencing a suspected DHS and a subset of DDS-tolerant subjects, an epicutaneous patch test (EPT) assessment period. Eligible subjects will be randomised to one of two study arms: a Current Standard of Care Arm (no prospective genetic screening: Control) and a Genetic Screening Arm (prospective genetic screening: Case). Subjects identified as HLA-B*1301 positive in the prospective Genetic Screening Arm will not receive dapsone and will be excluded from further study. Subjects who experience suspected DHS during the 6-week observation would be withdrawn from dapsone and undergo EPT patch testing 6 weeks later.

Biological Standardization of Cupressus arizonica Allergen Extract.

Allergic patients especially those undergoing de-sensitization treatment have an altered immune responsiveness. The investigators aim to find out whether this influences immune responses to primary and booster vaccinations.

Wheat allergy is affected 0.4-1% and is a major staple of the worldwide diet. Wheat avoidance is exceedingly difficult and imposes major dietary restriction. The purpose of this study were to determine the rate of oral tolerance and identify clinical and laboratory predictors of tolerance development in Thai children who allergic to wheat.

The aim of this study is to identify, based on standardized food provocation tests, which nuts allergic patients need a selective, or a complete dietary eviction of all kind of nuts (nuts being defined as peanut, all tree nuts, pine nut and sesame). The investigators postulate that predictive factors of multiple nut allergy are high specific immunoglobulin E level, positive skin tests and/or clinical markers, such as atopic dermatitis, presence of other food allergies or a history of a severe previous reaction

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and sensitivity of nipple-areolar complex (NAC) prospectively due to the section of the dermis after decortication (Schwartzmann's maneuver), in 50 patients undergoing breast reduction surgery.

To assess diagnostic accuracy of flow cytometry applied to the diagnosis of allergy to neuro-muscular blockers and to the determination of the neuro-muscular blocker (NMB) which may be used for an ulterior anaesthesia in case of allergy to one given NMB.

To better understand the relationship between gut barrier function and the symptomatology and pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

On the basis of 2 cases of immunologically-induced lung disease in 2 saxophonists, the investigators supposed that wind reed instruments could be contaminated with molds. The investigators led a study on 40 musicians playing a wind reed instrument to analyze instruments' fungal contamination and its immunological and clinical consequences for musicians.
