Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the role of specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), proposing that it could serve as a better biomarker for type-2 inflammation compared to total IgE.
  • Researchers measured both serum (SsIgE) and nasosinusal (NsIgE) sIgE levels against various allergens in 174 CRS patients, finding a significant correlation between sIgE presence and clinical features like nasal polyps and asthma.
  • Results indicated that SsIgE had a higher diagnostic accuracy (79.4%) for predicting outcomes of nasal challenge tests compared to total IgE, suggesting a need for further research into treatments like allerg

Objectives: To characterize factors associated with parental willingness for their children participation in a COVID-19 vaccine trial, use of different COVID-19 vaccines and acceptance of a third vaccine dose.

Methods: Parents of children aged 12-17 years in Lima, Perú were asked to complete an online questionnaire via social networks, from November 9, 2021, to April 23, 2022. We calculated crude and adjusted prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals to compare factors with the mentioned outcomes.

Introduction: Our objective was to explore the effect of the reduction of saturated fat (SAF) intake on cardiovascular disease, mortality and other health-related outcomes in adults.

Methods: We conducted an umbrella review, searching Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and LILACS databases for systematic reviews from December 1, 2012, to December 1, 2022. We have included meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies.

The ubiquitous use of volatile siloxanes in a myriad of product formulations has led to a widespread distribution of these persistent contaminants in both natural ecosystems and wastewater treatment plants. Microbial degradation under microaerobic conditions is a promising approach to mitigate D4 and D5 siloxanes while recovering energy in wastewater treatment plants. This study examined D4/D5 siloxanes biodegradation under both anaerobic and microaerobic conditions ( [Formula: see text]  = 0, 1, 3 %) using wastewater sludge.
