Clinical Practice Guideline: Allergic Rhinitis One of the most common diseases affecting both adults and children alike is allergic rhinitis (AR). According to Seidman et al. (2015) “AR is an inflammatory, IgE-mediated disease characterized by nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, sneezing, and/or nasal itching” (p. S2). In the United States allergic rhinitis affects approximately one in every six individuals. Allergic rhinitis has the ability to affect quality of life for adults and children alike.…
against certain diseases. There is also controversy regarding the fact that these genetically modified organisms will make us more susceptible to certain allergens. In many instances, the component causing the allergic reactions still remains in the new organisms after modification, so there are current on-going studies to prove that these allergens may be amplified after organism modification. Also, transgenic organisms are a relatively new discovery within our society, so it is impossible for…
showing signs of it being there. However, new research describe how this method could now have an alternative effect, leading to severe allergic reactions. The researchers believe a vaccine for tick bite allergies could be developed from the split allergen, once it is identified. Tick and human contact has been increasing over the years, as tick and human contact increases due to increases in climate change and habitant loss.Tick bites might induce the development of red meat or gelatin…
Just a few are allergies, being over weight and smoking cigarettes. In allergies that cause asthma the mucus membranes in your nose and airways, the membranes in your eyes can be sensitive to allergens. "Once you have one allergy -- skin, food, nose, eyes -- you're at greater risk for developing other allergies and, in this case, asthma," says Neil L. Kao, MD, of the Allergic Disease and Asthma Center in Greenville and Spartansburg, S.C., and a…
it occurs when fungal debris and mucin develop in the sinus cavities. It causes a blockage in the infected sinus. This disorder is prevalent in those who suffer allergic rhinitis, or allergies. The allergen is located inside of the sufferer’s sinus cavities, so surgery is required to remove the allergen. There is a high recurrence rate, but it can be managed by immunotherapy and anti-inflammatory medicine. Some people develop a disease called allergic…
The Immunoglobulin E are the antibodies produced in response to allergens whereas Basophils are the white blood cells that gives inflammatory responses. In addition to that, the defence mechanisms of the body are supported by plasma proteins. Vasodilatation occurs during anaphylactic reaction causing cardiovascular irregularity…
Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, refer to crop plants or animals that have been altered through artificial selection. This is done through planting the specific desirable traits of one organism into the DNA of another organism with; otherwise, undesirable traits. The gene inserted into the new organism grants that very organism the ability to possess the same traits as the “parent” organism. Characteristics usually sought after restrain to better nutritional value, gained through the…
Look for allergens. Careful examination of the nutritional labels will let you know if there is corn, wheat, or any other product that your dog has been determined to be allergic to. 5. Check the expiration date. Expired food could make your dog sick! A Few Choices…
bad news section. The way to treat Oral Allergy Syndrome are years of allergy shots slowly upping the amount of allergen injected hoping to build an immunity. They start at twice a week to once a week to every other week to once a month. This process takes up to five years to complete and in some cases they do not work. If the shots don’t work the only thing I can do is avoid my allergens. This means only eating cooked fruits and veggies, get rid of dust and pollens by vacuuming and washing…
Statement of Purpose The purpose of this report is to explain the grain-free diet and the reasoning behind it becoming a popular trend in pet food diets. It will recommend that grain-free diets should not be promoted as a general-use diet among household pets, and that grains are a useful part of the pet food diet. This is an educational report; my audience is, for example, a class of AHT students. Background Currently, there are around 7 million cats and 6.4 million dogs kept as household…
