Pilot study successful in taming allergic reactions to food
11-22-2006 · EurekAlert!Children who were allergic to eggs were able to essentially overcome their allergy by gradually consuming increased quantities of eggs over time, researchers at Duke University Medical Center and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences have found in a small pilot study.

- Alternative methods proposed to detect pesticides and antibiotics in water and natural food
09-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
Research by the department of analytical chemistry at the UGR has developed new systems to achieve sensitive detection of pesticide and antibiotic residues in water, vegetables, milk and meat using innovative techniques. Presence of antibiotics in foods of animal origin or fresh water can cause bacterial resistance or allergic reactions, as well as industrial problems in fermentation processes.

- Protein suppresses allergic response in mice
11-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
A protein in mice known as RGS13 suppresses allergic reactions, including the severe, life-threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis, according to scientists at NIAID. Because RGS13 is also a protein found in humans and is expressed in only a limited number of cells -- including the immune system's mast cells that are central to allergic reactions -- scientists believe the protein may be a target for developing drugs to treat and prevent certain allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.

- Newer contrast agents safe for children
06-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Allergic-like reactions to newer iodine-containing contrast agents (nonionic contrast media), are rare in children according to a recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Michigan Medical Center and C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, both in Ann Arbor.

- Feed the birds: Winter feeding makes for better breeding
02-05-2008 · EurekAlert!
Keep feeding the birds over winter: that's the message from research by the University of Exeter and Queen's University Belfast, published today in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters. The study shows for the first time that the extra food we provide garden birds in winter makes for a more successful breeding season in the spring.

- Cannabinoids produced in the human body have an anti-inflammatory effect
06-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Endocannabinoids seem to play an important role in regulating inflammation processes. Scientists from the University of Bonn have discovered this in experiments on mice. Their results will be published in the distinguished scientific journal Science on Friday, June 8. The study may also have implications for therapy. In animal experiments, a solution with an important component made from cannabis reduced allergic reactions of the skin.

- Allergic reactions to gadolinium-based contrast agents are rare, study finds
12-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
Allergic-like reactions to gadolinium-containing contrast injections in adults and pediatric patients (those younger than 19 years of age) are rare, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan Health Systems in Ann Arbor. "When these reactions do occur, most of them are mild," said Jonathan R. Dillman, M.D., lead author of the study.

- Allergy molecule identified
07-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
A vital molecule for resistance to food allergy has been identified offering a potential target for therapy.There is currently no way to treat food allergy; sufferers must avoid certain foods and keep adrenaline at hand.Scientists led by Dr. Claudio Nicoletti at the Institute of Food Research in Norwich have found a molecule that is absent during allergic responses. He suggests that by delivering allergens with this molecule, allergic reactions could be controlled.

- Protein a possible key to allergy and asthma control
01-02-2008 · EurekAlert!
Activating a protein found on some immune cells seems to halt the cells' typical job of spewing out substances that launch allergic reactions, a study by Johns Hopkins researchers suggests. The findings could eventually lead to new treatments for allergic reactions ranging from annoying bouts of hay fever to deadly asthma attacks.
