Hypoesthesia occurs in acute whiplash irrespective of pain and disability levels and the presence of sensory hypersensitivity.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVES: In contrast to the increasing knowledge of the sensory dysfunction involved in chronic whiplash associated disorders, the use of comprehensive quantitative sensory testing in the acute stage of the condition is sparse. In this study, we ... Read more...

Overproduction of IgE induces macrophage-derived chemokine (CCL22) secretion from basophils.

13 Oct 2008 Macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) CCL22 is a potent chemoattractant for Th2 cells and has been implicated in Th2-predominant allergic inflammation. In the present study, we demonstrated that basophils produce MDC in response to monomeric IgE. In ... Read more...

The Asian side of asthma and allergy.

29 Sep 2008 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: There is wide variation in the global epidemiology of allergic diseases, and the prevalence rates of asthma and allergy differ significantly among different Asian populations. The diversity of environment and ethnic background in ... Read more...
