This study aimed to determine the impact of Qigong as a potential complementary therapy in the management of gait and sleep-related symptoms in PD.
Methods: Seven subjects (aged 66.
Objective: To determine the concentration of house dust mite (HDM) allergens, Der f 1 and group 2, on the skin and hair of dogs and whether associations exist between the presence of Der f 1 and group 2 allergens on the skin and hair of dogs and household and dog characteristics.
Animals: 63 pet dogs from 50 homes.
Procedure: Dogs were weighed and body surface area in square meters was determined.
Objective: To quantitate the density of Dermatophagoides farinae and D pteronyssinus and concentrations of house dust mite (HDM) allergens (Der f 1, Der p 1, and Group 2 allergens) in the indoor microenvironment of dogs.
Sample Population: 50 homes in Columbus, Ohio.
Procedures: In each home, samples of dust were collected from 3 locations in which dogs spent most time.
