2. 1. Contact allergens in p-tert-butylphenol-formaldehyde resin

   Author : Erik Zimerson; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dermatology; main allergens; structure-activity relationships; identification of contact allergens; guinea pig maximization test; p-tert-butylphenol-formaldehyde resin; patch testing; venereology; Dermatologi; venereologi;

   Abstract : p-tert-Butylphenol-formaldehyde resin (PTBP-F-R) is used as a binder in many adhesive formulations and it consists of a complex mixture of substances, most of which are unknown. The resin has been reported to cause allergic contact dermatitis since the 1950s. READ MORE

4. 2. Contact Allergy to Acrylates

   Author : Anthony Goon; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; volatility; stability; screening; allergic contact dermatitis; Acrylates; baseline series; contact allergy; dental; gel permeation chromatography; high performance liquid chromatography; industrial; patch testing; methacrylates;

   Abstract : Acrylate contact allergy has been frequently reported since the 1970s, with hundreds of articles published in dermatology journals so far. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the frequency of contact allergy to acrylates / methacrylates in patients with exposure to industrial, dental and nail uses of these substances.

5. 3. Clinical and experimental studies on oxidized fragrance terpenes as contact allergens

   Author : Johanna Bråred Christensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : autoxidation; contact allergy; limonene; linalool; colophonium; limonene-1-hydroperoxide; limonene-2-hydroperoxide; 15-hydroperoxyabietic acid; 15-HPA; terpenes; local lymph node assay; LLNA; Freunds complete adjuvant test; FCAT; patch testing; laser Doppler imaging; skin irritation; visual reading;

   Abstract : The work presented in this thesis aims to improve the possibilities for diagnosing contact allergy to oxidized limonene and linalool and to, in patients, study contact allergy from structurally closely related hydroperoxides with regard to their specificity, potency and cross-reactivity. The fragrance terpenes limonene (from citrus oil) and linalool (from lavender oil) are widely used in household and industrial products. READ MORE

6. 4. Analytical methodologies for common skin allergens : Organic thioureas, isothiocyanates and fragrance hydroperoxides in everyday life products

   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; contact allergy; allergic contact dermatitis; fragrance; patch test; repeated open application test;

   Abstract : The exposure to fragrances is widespread and contact allergy to fragrance substances affects 1–4% of the general population. Many fragrance substances are volatile and it can therefore be suspected that they may evaporate from petrolatum patch test preparations applied in test chambers. READ MORE
