  2. 6. Laser Doppler imaging of patch tests : a methodological and comparative study with visual assessments

    Author : Bolli Bjarnason; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : skin perfusion; laser Doppler perfusion imaging; laser Doppler perfusion scanning; contact dermatitis; patch test technique; test procedure; test method; test system; patch test optimization; serial dilution; dose; exposure time; application time; reading time; immunosuppression; pigmented patch test materials; edge effect; nickel; isothiazolinones; corticosteroids; budesonide; neomycin; balsam of Peru;

    Abstract : Optimal test technique for most allergens is lacking. Despite technological progress in the 20th century, patch tests are habitually still assessed visually. Morphology of definite positive patch tests is unknown, reflected by various reading scales available and false-positive tests. READ MORE

  4. 7. Clinical And Experimental Studies of Contact Allergy to Stent Metals - with focus on gold

    Author : Susanne Ekqvist; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; B-Au; patch testing; restenosis; contact allergy; Dermatology; metals; gold; stent; B-Ni; nickel;

    Abstract : A large number of patients are treated with coronary stents, and restenosis (recurrent narrowing of the vessel) is a serious problem. Contact allergy to metal ions eluted from stainless steel stents has been suggested to contribute to in-stent restenosis. READ MORE

  5. 8. Photocontact Allergy to Ketoprofen and Simultaneous Contact Allergies

    Author : Victoria Marmgren; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ketoprofen; photoallergic contact dermatitis; cross-reactions; photoallergic; photopatch testing; Fragrance; patch testing; simultaneous reactions; occlusion;

    Abstract : Ketoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is available in both oral and topical formulations. Photocontact allergy to topically applied ketoprofen has been the most frequent side effect of the formulation, and is fairly well studied. READ MORE

  6. 9. Contact allergy to textile dyes. Clinical and experimental studies on disperse azo dyes

    Author : Laura Malinauskiene; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Disperse Orange 1; Disperse Yellow 3; metabolites; azo reduction; p-aminodiphenylamine; 4-nitroaniline; 2-amino-p-cresol; 4-aminoacetanilide; TLC; HPLC; guinea pig maximisation test.;

    Abstract : Disperse dyes are the most common allergens among textile dyes. It is not known whether the purified dyes, impurities in the commercial dyes, or metabolites are the actual sensitisers. Moreover, it is not known whether those disperse dyes that are now present in test series are actually used in textile dyeing today. READ MORE

  7. 10. Predictive testing for contact allergy : comparison of some guinea pig and mouse protocols including dose-response designs

    Author : Helen Wahlkvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : contact allergens; contact allergy; cumulative contact enhancement test; dose-response; evaluation; Freund s complete adjuvant test; guinea pig maximization test; local lymph node assay; mouse ear swelling test; patch test; predictive testing; statistical analysis;

    Abstract : Contact allergy (delayed hypersensitivity) may develop as a result of skin exposure to contact allergens (haptens) and can lead to allergic contact dermatitis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate some predictive animal test methods for contact allergens. READ MORE
