This book, based on a recent German publication, offers an overview of basic data and recent developments in the groundbreaking field of molecular allergology. It comprehensively explores the origin and structure of single allergen molecules ("components") and their utility in improving the management of type I, IgE-mediated allergic reactions and disorders like allergic respiratory diseases, food allergies, and anaphylaxis. Highly specific testing, called component-resolved diagnostics, aims to identify and utilize single molecules. Over 200 single allergens from plant or animal sources have been applied to single or multiplex laboratory testing for the presence of allergen-specific IgE. Th...
For some years, international guidelines on the management of asthma have stressed the importance of early intervention with anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent acute asthma exacerbations and to avert chronic inflammatory damage to the airway. Introduced by a broad survey of the targets for anti-inflammatory drugs, this book proceeds to bring together the most recent research into the mechanisms and clinical benefits of presently available anti-inflammatory treatments including corticosteroids, cromones, and theophylline. For the first time, these drugs are discussed alongside the newly introduced leukotriene modifier drugs, and in the context of frontline research into anti-inflammatory drug...
The prevalence of food allergy is increasing and consumers are now more aware of allergy and intolerance than ever, with retailers launching special ranges of foods suitable for people with particular allergies, and allergy featuring regularly in the media. Bringing together contributions from leading experts in food allergy, this book covers the latest developments in the field of food allergy and intolerance, including the major allergens nuts, milk, soya, seafood, and sesame, and foods to which intolerance is common - gluten, lactose and food additives. Technical aspects of allergens are covered, including the effect of cooking on allergenicity of proteins, the assessment of novel foods f...

A highly practical approach to occupational dermatoses combined with the skill and experience of specialists in clinical and experimental dermatology. Great care is taken throughout to provide the information urgently needed for daily patient management, with concise tables, algorithms, and figures on how to optimise the diagnostic procedure for high-quality patient care and expert opinion. This handbook provides the relevant job descriptions, job-specific diagnostic algorithms and a detailed description of allergens and irritants such that readers can master even difficult and unusual problems in occupational dermatology.
Das Buch bündelt aktuelle Fakten zur molekularen Allergologie und zeigt ihre Vorteile für die moderne Allergiediagnostik. Zunächst werden die wichtigsten Proteinfamilien mit Allergenen ähnlicher Struktur vorgestellt. Einzelallergene verbessern vor allem die Treffsicherheit von IgE-Bestimmungen, deren Testvarianten ausführlich erläutert werden. Anhand häufiger Allergenquellen — Inhalations-, Nahrungsmittel- und Insektengiftallergene — werden dann Nutzen und Grenzen einer molekularen Allergiediagnostik im klinischen Alltag aufgezeigt. Der letzte Abschnitt stellt potenzielle Anwendungen der molekularen Allergologie vor, z. B. die Entwicklung rekombinanter Allergenvakzine oder hypoallergener Nahrungsmittel. Das Buch erweitert die erfolgreiche Beitragsserie „Im Fokus: Molekulare Allergologie“ aus dem Allergo Journal von Springer Medizin und beschreibt die junge Disziplin der molekularen Allergologie als ein sich rasch entwickelndes Fachgebiet. Dabei liefert es wertvolle Hinweise für dieUmsetzung im klinischen Alltag und hilft, die Diagnostik, Beratung und Versorgung allergischer Patienten zu verbessern.
