The study suggests that (1) religious leaders could improve their role in the fight against HIV/AIDS with education and sensitization-specifically aimed at dismantling the myths about HIV transmission, and the stereotyping of susceptible sub-populations, and (2) a consultative dialogue between PWHAs and religious leaders is pivotal to a successful faith-based HIV intervention in Trinidad.
Oral sensitization was specifically avoided in this study because there is a potential risk of developing oral tolerance when antigens are administered via this route [ 25, 29].
Testing multiple forms of plasticity we found sensitization to inflammation was specifically attenuated.
Our results show that senescence-secreted factors specifically sensitize pretransformed cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis and that sensitization is mediated through a biphasic Myc-dominated gene programming.
Most did not verify self-reported diagnoses and, as described below, none could determine whether noted effects were specifically due to sensitization or irritation.
It is possible if we were able to specifically test for IgE sensitization to the full panel of fungi, then the rates of sensitization in the positive sputum group would be even higher.
Based on this model, we investigated here the epicutaneous sensitization potential of Der p 2, specifically in the context of interaction with TLR4 and LPS, as well as the possible adjuvant function of a co-applied enzymatic allergen.
These data indicate that this recruitment is specifically required for inflammatory pain sensitization and not for two other forms of plasticity: peripheral nerve injury or hippocampus LTP.
The current study, which specifically addresses reactivity rather than sensitization, extends the previous findings showing a low correspondence between NRL glove use and asthmatic reactions.
Specifically, we show that long-term sensitization training rapidly up-regulates the expression of transcripts which may encode Aplysia homologs of a C/EBPγ transcription factor, a glycine transporter (GlyT2), and a vacuolar-protein-sorting-associated protein (VPS36).
