Recent research on Gulf War illness and other health problems in veterans of the 1991 Gulf War: Effects of toxicant exposures during deployment
(2015-12)
Veterans of Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield - the 1991 Gulf War (GW) - are a unique population who returned from theater with multiple health complaints and disorders. Studies in the U.S. and elsewhere have consistently ...
Comparison of F(ab') versus Fab antivenom for pit viper envenomation: A prospective, blinded, multicenter, randomized clinical trial
(2015-01)
BACKGROUND:
Crotalidae Polyvalent Immune Fab (Ovine) has been the only antivenom commercially available in the US since 2007 for treatment of Crotalinae envenomation. Late coagulopathy can occur or recur after clearance ...
Neurogenic switching: a hypothesis for a mechanism for shifting the site of inflammation in allergy and chemical sensitivity.
(East Carolina University, 1995-01)
Neurogenic switching is proposed as a hypothesis for a mechanism by which a stimulus at one site can lead to inflammation at a distant site. Neurogenic inflammation occurs when substance P and other neuropeptides released ...
Hypothesis for induction and propagation of chemical sensitivity based on biopsy studies.
(East Carolina University, 1997-03)
The reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS), the reactive upper airways dysfunction
syndrome (RUDS), the sick building syndrome (SBS), and the multiple chemical sensitivity
syndrome (MCS) are overlapping disorders ...
Neurogenic inflammation and sensitivity to environmental chemicals.
(East Carolina University, 1993-08)
Neurogenic inflammation as a pathway distinct from antigen-driven, immune-mediated inflammation may play a pivotal role in understanding a broad class of environmental health problems resulting from chemical exposures. ...
