The functional unity of the specific and nonspecific mechanisms of immunological reactions has been shown on the basis of our own investigations and the published data. As revealed in this study, during the formation of immune response smooth transition from the nonspecific level to the specific one occurs. First, the factors of nonspecific protection are switched on, then intermediate reactions develop, further antibodies are synthesized, etc. At any level of immune response its regulation by nonspecific immunomodulators is possible, their influence controlled by a complex of reactions of the neuroendocrine system, also carrying the elements of nonspecificity and specificity.

Background: Type I allergy to sweat is involved in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) and cholinergic urticaria (CholU), with MGL_1304 from Malassezia globosa being the major causative antigen. Currently, no standard diagnostic test exists for sweat allergy that uses serum.
Methods: The ImmunoCAP (iCAP) system to measure antigen-specific IgE was developed using recombinant MGL_1304 (rMGL_1304).

Introduction And Importance: Peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs), also known as peritoneal mesothelial cysts, are rare, benign cystic lesions primarily occurring in the abdominopelvic cavity of premenopausal women with histories of pelvic surgery or inflammation. These cysts can present with nonspecific symptoms and may mimic other abdominal pathologies, making diagnosis challenging.
Case Presentation: A 41-year-old male with no significant medical history, who experienced progressive nonspecific abdominal pain over several months.

Protein hydrolysis targeted chimeras (PROTACs) represent a different therapeutic approach, particularly relevant for overcoming challenges associated with traditional small molecule inhibitors. These challenges include targeting difficult proteins that are often deemed "undruggable" and addressing issues of acquired resistance. PROTACs employ the body's own E3 ubiquitin ligases to induce the degradation of specific proteins of interest (POIs) through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.

Objective: To analyze the efficacy and tolerability of aceclofenac in the treatment of patients with acute non-specific musculoskeletal pain in the lower back (ANBP) compared with other NSAIDs (dexketoprofen, nimesulide and lornoxicam), as well as to assess the impact of NSAIDs therapy on the relative risk of recurrence and chronicity of this pathology.
Material And Methods: The study involved 80 patients (47 women and 33 men), average age 52.6 [47.
