OBJECTIVE
Many allergy patients complain of fatigue, moodiness, and dysphoria during their allergy seasons. This study evaluated the effect of symptomatic allergic rhinitis on both fatigue level and mood.
METHODS
Symptomatic ragweed allergic rhinitis patients on no medications and healthy control
Rhinitis symptoms are present in approximately 70% of subjects with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (FM/CFS). Because only 35% to 50% have positive allergy skin tests, nonallergic mechanisms may also play a role. To better understand the mechanisms of nonallergic rhinitis in FM/CFS, nasal
Despite the progress made in the field of allergy-immunology in recent years, there are a group of diseases that the allergist-immunologist may be called on to manage in which their precise etiologies have not been identified but that appear to be initiated or exacerbated by allergic mechanisms.
Scores of radioallergosorbent test (RAST) for cow's milk or buckwheat flour and proliferative responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to bovine serum albumin and beta-lactoglobulin or buckwheat flour were measured in cow's milk or buckwheat flour sensitive patients with allergic
BACKGROUND
We investigated a role for allergic inflammation and psychologic parameters in the development of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
METHODS
The design was a comparison between subjects with CFS and age- and sex-matched control cohorts. Studies were performed on CFS subjects (n = 18) and
The fact that only some individuals exposed to environmental chemicals develop chemical intolerance raises the possibility that genetic factors could be contributing factors. The present communication summarizes evidence from a genetic animal model of cholinergic supersensitivity that suggests that
BACKGROUND
Allergic rhinitis is classically characterized by sneezing, pruritus, rhinorrhea, and nasal congestion. These symptoms can lead to impaired nocturnal sleep, and this impairment results in daytime fatigue and somnolence, reducing both learning and work efficiency and decreasing quality of
This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study compared the effects of daily supplementation for 4 week with 250 mg Wellmune WGP® β-1,3/1,6-Glucan (WGP) with placebo 250 mg/day (rice flour) on physical and psychological health attributes of self-described "moderate" ragweed allergy
Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) mainly complain of symptoms in the musculoskeletal domain (myalgias, fatigue). In 21 CFS patients the deep (muscle) versus superficial (skin, subcutis) sensitivity to pain was explored by measuring pain thresholds to electrical stimulation unilaterally in
After seven pediatric cases of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) were diagnosed in a farming community in upstate New York, a questionnaire regarding symptoms and potential risk factors of CFS was distributed to all students enrolled in the same school district. Twenty-one students with symptoms of CFS
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the heterogeneity of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME) in children and young people.
METHODS
Regional specialist CFS/ME service Patients Children and young people aged <19 years old.
METHODS
Exploratory factor analysis was performed on symptoms present at assessment in 333
The chronic fatigue syndrome is poorly understood. We believe the underlying causes in many atopics and women are a persistent infection and hypersensitivity to the immune-suppressive effects of histamine and certain pathogens. We believe much to the symptomatology can be explained by all four types
OBJECTIVE
Our purpose was to clarify whether subjective symptoms of low-level formaldehyde (FA) exposure in medical students were transient or persistent and to investigate whether the allergy state changed as a result of exposure.
METHODS
We surveyed the prevalence of medical students' subjective
BACKGROUND
Coumarin anticoagulants are known to cause hepatotoxicity, but only a few cases have been reported. Coumarins are usually administered following cardiovascular surgery and the differential diagnosis is post-transfusion hepatitis.
METHODS
We report the case of a 46-year-old woman who
Nasal congestion, a common symptom related to allergic rhinitis (AR), often is associated with poor sleep quality, leading to decreased learning ability, decreased productivity at work or school, and a reduced quality of life. The release of inflammatory mediators and activation of inflammatory
