Pediatric-onset mastocytosis: a long term clinical follow-up and correlation with bone marrow histopathology.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Pediatric onset mastocytosis usually presents as urticaria pigmentosa; and less often as diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis. While the literature indicates that disease often resolves, there has been a move to more aggressive therapy for ... Read more...

Elevated serum cytokines during human anaphylaxis: Identification of potential mediators of acute allergic reactions.

17 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Anaphylaxis is generally unanticipated and requires emergency management. Therefore, the biological mediators in human beings have been difficult to define. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to identify cytokines and chemokines whose concentrations ... Read more...

Effects of infrared radiation and heat on human skin aging in vivo.

30 Jul 2009 Sunlight damages human skin, resulting in a wrinkled appearance. Since natural sunlight is polychromatic, its ultimate effects on the human skin are the result of not only the action of each wavelength separately, but also interactions among the ... Read more...

Definition: A family of neutral serine proteases with TRYPSIN-like activity. Tryptases are primarily found in the SECRETORY GRANULES of MAST CELLS and are released during mast cell degranulation.
