Eosinophilic esophagitis improved by the discontinuation of sublingual immunotherapy for aeroallergens: a case report.

Introduction: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammation of the esophagus, characterized by symptoms related to esophageal dysfunction, resulting from severe eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal mucosa. It is common in atopic subjects and food antigens have been identified as the most common triggers. However, a seasonal variation in EoE prevalence, correlated with air pollen levels, is reported, suggesting that also aeroallergens may play a role.

Clinical Evidence for Q10 Coenzyme Supplementation in Heart Failure: From Energetics to Functional Improvement.

Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are hallmarks of heart failure (HF). Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a vitamin-like organic compound widely expressed in humans as ubiquinol (reduced form) and ubiquinone (oxidized form). CoQ10 plays a key role in electron transport in oxidative phosphorylation of mitochondria.
