We identified nine tree pollen genera for analysis on the basis of clinical significance in the U.S. and observed sensitization patterns in the Northeastern U.S. and NYC [ 3, 21, 22] (species name in italic): Acer (maple), Betula (birch), Quercus (oak), Ulmus (elm), Fraxinus (ash), Platanus (sycamore/London planetree), Fagus (beech), Carya (hickory), and Populus (poplar).
Such a combined sensitization-habituation or sensitization-desensitization response pattern allows maximal vigilance to unexpected (and potentially alarming) inputs over mundane and insipid ones, thus sharpening novelty detection and selective attention [ 178].
This study aimed to evaluate the pattern of sensitization towards five peanut allergenic components (rAra h 1, 2, 3, 8 and 9) in a population of Italian children and adolescents with specific IgE (sIgE) to peanut.
As shown from the Italian observational survey "Pan-allergens in Pediatrics," children living in the Northern Italy have peculiar pattern of sensitization against plant-derived allergens (e.g., grasses, birch, hazel tree, and peanut) which differs from the population of the South of the peninsula [ 21].
There appear to be different patterns of sensitization due to varying allergens in different indoor settings.
To our knowledge the dynamic process of development of specific IgE-ab against the most common inhalant allergens over time, in terms of patterns of sensitization and specific IgE-ab concentrations, has not been as thoroughly described before [ 26].
In line with this, Andersen and coworkers [ 23] found that chronic pain in the neck/shoulders among healthcare workers increased the risk for developing chronic pain in other body regions, possibly due to a combination of central sensitization and compensatory lifting patterns.
To identify frequency and pattern of contact sensitization among patients with periorbital dermatitis.
