    The effects of mental and physical stress on the incidence of skin disorders (1978)

    Notes: The eflfect of civil unrest and terrorism in Northern Ireland from 1969 on skin diseases which are generally accepted to be aggravated by stress and strain has been studied (I) by reporting cases making claims against the government for skin diseases developed as the result of violence and (2) studying changes in the pattern of skin diseases at skin clinics in Northern Ireland over the last 10 years. There has been little change in the pattern of skin diseases which could be attributed to mental or physical stress.

    Notes: Liver enzyme studies were carried out before and following the use of two new intravenous agents, disoprofol and midazolam. These showed no major abnormal changes attributable to either drug, the findings being similar to those with thiopentone.

    Recovery from intravenous anaesthesia (1982)

    Notes: Using the endpoints of spontaneous opening of eyes, giving date of birth, sitting up unaided and normal pegboard time, recovery from 2 and 3 mg/kg disoprofol was compared with that from 4 and 6 mg/kg thiopentone and 1.5 mg/kg methohexitone in groups each of 10 unpremedicated patients. The study method differentiated between recovery from the two doses of disoprofol and thiopentone at the first two endpoints only. A between-drug comparison showed early recovery was slightly faster with thiopentone than with equivalent doses of the new drug while no differences were detected between the recovery from equivalent doses of methohexitone and thiopentone. The differences found in this study are felt to be of no clinical significance and recovery from anaesthesia with disoprofol would not be expected to be any slower than that from equivalent doses of thiopentone.

    Recognition of food-allergic patients and their allergens by the RAST technique and clinical investigation (1979)

    Notes: Sera from 119 patients with possible food allergies were tested against a panel of thirteen food allergens by the RAST technique. The results were compared with in vivo tests. 79% of foods causing symptoms gave a positive RAST to the specific food. Symptoms were grouped according to their time of appearance after taking the food; ‘immediate’ up to 1 hr and ‘non-immediate’ more than 1 hr afterwards. Almost all those with ‘immediate’ symptoms were already aware of the foods causing them and there was a 100% correlation of the RAST result with these. Only a few of those with ‘non-immediate’ symptoms were previously aware that these foods were responsible, and 64% of these gave a positive RAST. The majority of patients with a positive RAST result had total IgE in excess of 300 u/ml, had specific IgE antibodies against one or more common inhalant allergens, were under the age of 30 years and had a combination of asthma and eczema.We found the RAST method a useful and safe guide upon which to base a clinical investigation of food allergy, especially for patients whose symptoms appeared more than 1 hr after the food and in whom the relationship between their symptoms and food was not apparent. The RAST technique was surprisingly successful in identifying the foods which caused these ‘non-immediate’ symptoms.

    Methods of quantifying circulating IgE (1978)

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Four radioimmunoassay techniques, two conventional and two sandwich, have been used to measure circulating IgE levels in 100 sera. The test sera had IgE levels ranging From 1.0 to 20,000 u/ml, and each was measured at live dilutions, ranging from threefold to 400-fold. The same IgE standards were used throughout, and the optimal range for each assay was determined by assessing data for quality control sera and the WHO standard 69/204. To be of general use in the United Kingdom an IgE test must measure accurately levels as low as 20-30 u IgE/ml. The Phadebas RIST method failed to meet this criterion, and of the remaining tests the double antibody method had the most useful operating range and produced the most reliable results. However, the double antibody method is not available commercially and so, for the majority of laboratories, the Phadebas PRIST technique should be the method chosen.

    IgE, parasites and asthma in Tanzanian children (1977)

    Notes: Two rural Tanzanian primary schools were surveyed to test the hypothesis that parasitic infestation prevents the development of asthma. 242 pupils were interviewed to determine the prevalence of pupils with recurrent episodes of wheezing. The nineteen pupils so discovered had more exercise-induced bronchial lability than equivalently exercised controls. More girls (12.8%) than boys (3.3%) had asthma. In one school, 77% of the controls had faecal parasites, mainly Ascaris spp., and in the other school 55% of the controls had Schistosoma haematobium in their urine. Parasites were found in similar proportions in the asthmatics. The mean serum IgE for the whole population was 3174 u/ml with no demonstrable difference between the asthmatics and controls. There was no difference in immediate cutaneous hypersensitivity to twenty-two allergens between the asthmatics and controls. These findings suggest that parasitic infestation does not prevent the development of asthma.

    A community survey of IgG4 antibody levels (1983)

    Notes: Precise and specific radioimmunoassays have been developed to quantify IgG4 and IgG4 antibodies. A community survey has demonstrated that men have significantly higher total serum lgG4 levels than women: geometric mean values of 0.581 mg/ml versus 0.302 mg/ml. This sex difference was extended to total IgE values. Circulating levels of IgG4 antibodies against foods, especially egg-and milk, were normally higher than those against the three most common U.K. inhalant allergens–grass pollen, house dust mite and cat epithelium,

    Circulating IgE levels in the over-seventies (1980)

    Notes: In a normal population aged over 70 years the geometric mean IgE value of 30.6 u/ml was not significantly different from that obtained previously in a similar epidemiological survey of a population aged 20–44 years. However, in the older population we have noted a significant sex difference–38.6 u/ml for males against 27.2 u/ml for females–which was only apparent in the atopic subjects of the younger population. There have been some other reports that IgE levels decrease with age, and possible reasons for these differences with our own results are discussed.

    Epithelial or dandruff allergen for the diagnosis of dog allergy by RAST? (1979)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd

    Details

    Notes: When used for screening by the RAST technique, dog epithelium provided too few positive results (29.2%) compared with dog dandruff (58.8%), cat epithelium (53.6%) and horse dandruff (52.2%). However, dog dandruff can provide an unexpectedly high incidence of positive RAST results (45.2%) in sera from patients with an allergic history to cat or horse, but not to dog. Dog dandruff allergens were found to cross-react with some cat or horse serum proteins in about 25% of such patients.We conclude that dog dandruff is preferable to epithelium for screening by the RAST technique, but if emotional issues involving a family pet arise then confirmation by a trial separation is likely to be more convincing than a provocation test with a possibly non-specific allergenic extract.

    Identification of allergen-specific IgE antibodies in the sera of African asthmatics (1976)

    Notes: Of eighty African asthmatics, sixty-three had significant levels of specific IgE against the house dust mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. By contrast, grass-specific IgE was found in six patients and mould-specific IgE in none. Sixty-three patients also had symptoms predominantly during the rainy season.Positive skin tests against D. pteronyssinus correlated well with the presence of mite-specific IgE, as did the size of these skin test weals with the amount of specific IgE. For grass pollen and moulds there was no such relationship. There was no correlation between a history of sensitivity to house dust and either skin tests or specific IgE against D. pteronyssinus.The results support previous findings that it is allergy to house dust mite and not to grass pollens or moulds which is important in producing the seasonal symptoms in our patients.
