Springer Encyclopedia of Medical Immunology Allergic Diseases 1st Editon 2014 Hardbound by Ian R. Mackay, Noel R. Rose, Dennis K. Ledford, Richard F. Lockey
Volume Allergic Diseases is a comprehensive, multi-authored reference work, offering a broad appeal to microbiologists, immunologists, and infectious disease specialists. The volume explores all aspects of allergic diseases, body systems and vaccines. Emphasis is placed on genetics, physiology, metabolism, pathogenesis, and applied microbiology. Under the leadership of some of the most world renowned names in the field, the encyclopedia brings together an outstanding collection of contributions by top scientists in a variety of fields. The entries are listed alphabetically and provide full references.The volume covers the following topics:• Food Allergy and gastrointestinal Allergic Diseases• Insect Allergy• Allergy Diagnosis and Testing• Allergy Treatment: Pharmacotherapy• Asthma and Other Allergic Lower Respiratory Disease• Biology of IgE, Mast Cells and Eosinophils• Specific Allergens Causing Human Disease• Atopic Dermatitis, Urticaria and Dermatologic Allergy• Allergy Treatment: Immunotherapy, Immunomodulator Therapy and Allergen Avoidance Allergy Treatment: Immunotherapy, Immu: Allergen avoidance: Avoidance strategies for Skin allergies.- Allergen avoidance: Cockroach and rodent avoidance.- Allergen avoidance: Dietary management of food allergy.- Allergen avoidance: Dust mite avoidance.- Allergen avoidance: Fungi and mold avoidance.- Allergen avoidance: Furry animal avoidance.- Allergen avoidance: Pollen avoidance-tree, grass, weed.- Allergen Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy for Allergic Rhinitis.- Allergen Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy for Asthma.- Allergen Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy for Hymenoptera allergy.- Allergen Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy with recombinant and DNA conjugated allergens.- Allergen Immunotherapy: Mechanisms of IT.- Allergen Immunotherapy: Overview of allergen immunotherapy.- Allergen Immunotherapy: Safety of Immunotherapy.- Allergen Immunotherapy: Sublingual Immunotherapy.- Immunomodulator therapy: Immunomodulator treatment of Asthma.- Immunomodulator therapy: Immunomodulatory treatment of Chronic urticarial.- Immunomodulator therapy: Immunomodulatory treatment of hypereosinophilic syndrome.- Immunomodulator therapy: Immunomodulatory treatment of Mastocytosis.- Allergy Treatment: Pharmacotherapy: Herbal remedies.- Homeopathy, acupuncture, NAET.- Intranasal anticholinergics.- Intranasal antihistamines.- Intranasal Corticosteroids.- Intranasal decongestants.- Intranasal mast cell stabilizers.- Leukotriene receptor antagonists.- mAbs (omalizumab).- Ocular antihistamines.- Ocular Corticosteroids.- Ocular vasoconstrictors.- Oral antihistamines.- Oral corticosteroids.- Oral decongestants.- Oral mast cell stabilizers.- Topical calcineurin inhibitors.- Topical corticosteroids.- Topical Preparations: Antihistamines.- Atopic Dermatitis Urticaria and Dermatitis: 3-dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA), allergic contact dermatitis to.- Articaine allergic reaction.- Contact urticaria/protein contact dermatitis (to asparagus, cow?s hair, seafood etc.).- Cutaneous drug reaction.- Dermatitis from 2-N-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, allergic contact.- Dermatitis, allergic contact.- Dermatitis, atopic.- Eyes and eyelid, contact allergic reactions on.- Fingernails from sensitization to acrylic, loss of.- Fragrancy, allergic contact dermatitis.- Gluten intolerance and skin diseases.- Hairdressers occupational skin disease.- Latex allergen sensitization.- Methyldibromo glutaronitrile, contact allergy to.- Nail contact dermatitis including allergic contact dermatitis due to nail cosmetics.- Netherton’s syndrome.- Nickel allergic contact dermatitis.- Nitroglycerin dermatitis.- Peanut urticarial.- Photoallergic contact dermatitis.- Plants, allergic contact dermatitis from.- Polidocanol: a contact allergen in shampoo.- Titanium alloy, dermatitis (allergic contact/ granulomatous).- Urticaria.- Biology of IgE, Mast cells and Eosinophils: Activating and inhibitory receptors of mast cells.- Eosinophil activation.- Eosinophil Historical Background.- Eosinophil mediators (granule proteins).- Eosinophil morphology
