Cytokines and aeroallergens in the pathogenesis of summer-pasture associated obstructive pulmonary disease: effects on endothelin production, neutrophil activation and chemotaxis
… to pasture environment during the summer. Aeroallergens are believed to trigger exacerbation of SPAOPD, cytokines are likely associated with the anamnestic response to aeroallergens, and endothelin (ET)-1 is a potential mediator of airway obstruction. The goal of this dissertation was to …

The Decay of Aerosol Concentration as a Function of Time Comparing the Effects of AHPCO and Bi-Polar and an Analysis of Aeroallergens, Fungal Spores and Pollen in the Texas Panhandle Area
… in using the units in lower concentration. Aeroallergens affect millions of people each year (Ghosh, Saadeh, Gaylor, & Aurora. 2006). Allergen can be any foreign substance that can provoke a reaction such as food, dust particles, medication, insect venom and also mold spores and pollen; …

Allergen wheal area during early childhood predicts allergic rhinitis phenotypes at age four
… prick test (SPT) wheal area from 15 individual aeroallergens during early childhood (age one through three) and its association with AR at age four. The second aim was to determine if any individual age-specific aeroallergen wheal area association persisted in a multivariate logistic regression …

Seasonal patterns in asthma hospitalization rates in Saskatchewan
… adults. Women seem to be more affected by the aeroallergens in spring than men. The 35-49 year old men did not have a statistically significant seasonal pattern, whereas the women did. The native and non-native patterns compared for the first time in this study, do show different patterns for …

Correlation between pro-inflammatory alleles and clinical and laboratory markers of allergy in Xhosa South Africans
… skin prick tests to common local food and aeroallergens, as well as a modified methacholine challenge to establish the prevalence of bronchial hyper-reactivity. In addition, genotyping was performed to investigate the prevalence of twenty-seven SNPs in this population. We aimed to establish …

Metabarcoding pollen to identify allergenic species of grasses (Poaceae) and ragweed (Ambrosia spp.) across six monitored sites in South Africa
Background and aims Aeroallergens contribute to the global burden of non-communicable diseases, causing allergic conditions such as rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and asthma. Pollen is the second most important contributor, and despite cross-reactivity between allergens, patients often experience …
