| Asthma is characterized by airway hyperreactivity, inflammation, and atopy. |
|
| In addition, all subjects were atopic, although atopy was not an inclusion criterion in our study. |
|
| Similarly, many surveys have identified an inverse relationship between prior microbial exposure and the development of atopy. |
|
| The exact mechanisms by which probiotics prevent atopy are also under debate. |
|
| Our findings indicate that children at risk for atopy react sensitively to chemical substances that originate from passive smoking. |
|
| Diagnosing canine atopy can be done through skin tests and blood tests and extracts can be made for injection to hyposensitize. |
|
| The risk of developing hay fever, eczema, and atopy is reduced if you have older siblings. |
|
| All patients in the asthma group reported a history of atopy, and four patients reported a history of exercise-induced bronchospasm. |
|
| It should be considered part of the therapeutic armamentarium used in managing atopy in the dog. |
|
| A diagnosis of atopy was established based on signalment, history, physical findings, and if the pruritus was clearly seasonal. |
|
| Dry skin, also called xerosis, is one of the major clinical components of atopy. |
|
| The Response FP diet does appear to benefit the pruritus associated with canine atopy in a significant number of dogs. |
|
| With this in mind, a combination of Phadiatop and the most common food allergens is recommended when testing children for atopy. |
|
| Coal tar has been used safely in the treatment of psoriasis and atopy. |
|
| The authors compared the odds ratio for the prevalence of atopy in vaccinated versus unvaccinated children, and the OR for prevalence according to age. |
|
| Perhaps these findings suggest a causative link between the rising levels of particulate air pollution from motor vehicles and the increase in the prevalence of atopy. |
|
| Phadiatop and Phadiatop Infant are assays for the graded determination of atopy with semiquantitative or qualitative results. |
|
| Use of persimmon leaves or a persimmon leaf extract in the manufacture of a food product for preventing or relieving atopy or pollinosis. |
|
| Whatever factor is invoked to explain the increase in asthma must also be capable of explaining other outbreaks of atopy. |
|
| They were interested in the prevalence of atopy, an immunologic response that can be determined by pricking the skin with allergens such as pollen or cat hair and measuring the size of the welt that results. |
|
|
|
| For instance, people who lived on a farm or remained in contact with livestock, such as cows and pigs, in both surveys were far less likely to develop atopy than those who lived in town or had never been around beasts much. |
|
| Results indicate high or low probability for atopy. |
|
| Whether vaccines against TB, unlike those against measles, also contribute to protection from atopy is unresolved. A final piece of evidence came this week, in a paper published in Archives of Disease in Childhood. |
|
| In atopy, which is thought to be a hereditary condition, there is an excessive reaction by the immune system producing inflamed, irritated and sore skin. |
|
| Housing, ventilation, proximity to industry, parental smoking, pet allergens, and many other factors may contribute to increase the risk of atopy, in combination with genetic predisposition. |
|
| Atopic dermatitis, or atopy, is an inherited predisposition to allergic skin disease. |
|
| Adjustments for respiratory infections in infancy and asthma and atopy in childhood did not change the results of these analyses. |
|
| The condition, known as an atopy, is similar to hayfever and is permanent, requiring treatment and careful managing. |
|
| There is some evidence that dietary intake of trans-fatty acids is associated with asthma and atopy. |
|
| Higher serum folate levels are associated with a lower risk of atopy and wheeze. |
|
| Atopy is an inherited inclination to develop atopic dermatitis, allergic nasal catarrh, allergic conjunctivitis, or allergic asthma. |
