Allergic Reactions to Anaesthetics: Clinical and Basic Aspects (Monographs in Allergy)

Allergic Reactions to Anaesthetics: Clinical and Basic Aspects (Monographs in Allergy) Review

This interdisciplinary volume covers a wide spectrum of topics associated with the largely life-threatening reactions which may occur during general anaesthesia. Focus is placed on anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions and anaesthesia-related liver disease. Leading international authorities discuss the epidemiology, clinical aspects and therapy of these reactions as well as their possible prevention by new screening tests. Special attention is given to the immunological mechanisms which underlie allergic reactions and the possible contribution of nonimmune mechanisms. Both the clinical and the experimentally-based findings are analyzed with the aim of establishing links between them. In addition, the book addresses important issues in treatment, covers areas which are ill-defined or not generally known, and tackles controversial questions including discussion of medico-legal and economic issues.

Chronic Rhinosinusitis: Pathogenesis and Medical Management (Clinical Allergy and Immunology)

Chronic Rhinosinusitis: Pathogenesis and Medical Management (Clinical Allergy and Immunology) Review

Rhinosinusitis is increasing in prevalence and incidence, and has been estimated to affect approximately 31 million patients in the United States each year. This comprehensive reference offers recommendations for the optimal treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis and indicates pathways for new research in the field. Offering an interdisciplinary approach to the topic, edited by an allergist and an otolaryngologist, this source discusses advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of the diseases, as well as important diagnostic tools for the assessment of chronic rhinosinusitis. It also summarizes published studies of chronic rhinosinusitis management for evidence-based medical care.

Vaccines against Allergies (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology)

Vaccines against Allergies (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology) Review

We are celebrating this year the hundred years´ anniversary of allergen-specific immunotherapy. In 1911 Leonard Noon published his seminal work “Prophylactic inoculation against hay fever” describing his attempts to achieve active immunity against “grass pollen toxin” by administering increasing doses of grass pollen extract before the grass pollen season to allergic patients. Although it was unknown at that time that allergy represents an immunological hypersensitivity disease, the treatment was effective and many observations made by Noon remained valid until today. Today allergen-specific immunotherapy is well established as the only allergen-specific and disease-modifying treatment for IgE-mediated allergies and has long-lasting effects. In fact, more than 25% of the population suffer from IgE-mediated allergies which therefore represent a major health burden of our society, particularly because untreated allergy often progresses to severe disabling forms of disease, such as asthma and sometimes kills sensitized people through anaphylaxis.
