    Notes: Allergy to natural rubber latex (NRL) has become an important health issue in recent years, but little is known about how this condition is investigated by physicians in the UK. This postal questionnaire of British dermatology and allergy specialists shows substantial variation in diagnostic practice, most notably with regard to the utilization and choice of starting dose of commercial latex prick test dilutions, reliance on allergen-specific immunoglobulin E measurement, investigation of associated fruit allergy and provision of resuscitation equipment/method of consent when challenge testing. 17% of responding physicians who investigate for NRL allergy do not perform prick test or glove challenge because of the potential risk of anaphylaxis or lack of resuscitation facilities. 87% of allergy clinic specialists report no reduction in the number of patients presenting as new referrals with suspected NRL allergy. These findings suggest a need for robust guidance to achieve more consistent investigative practice by those dealing with this condition.

    Oral cyclosporin A restores hair growth in the DEBR rat model for alopecia areata (1995)

    Notes: The Dundee experimental bald rat (DEBR) undergoes hair loss associated with the development of peri- and intrafollicular mononuclear cell infiltrates, as occurs in human alopecia areata. We studied the effect of orally administered cyclosporin A (10mg/kg; 5 days/week for 7 weeks) on established lesional DEBR rats displaying extensive areas of hair loss. New hairs appeared after 10 days and there was simultaneous regrowth of hair over the whole body with restoration of a full pelt by 5 weeks. Semiquantitative histological examination of flank skin biopsies revealed early reduction of the cellular infiltrate associated with conversion of dystrophic anagen follicles to normal, hair-producing follicles. These results confirm the value of the DEBR model of alopecia areata in evaluating existing and new therapies for this disease in humans.
