Background: Cefazolin is the most common first-line antibiotic to prevent surgical-site infections. Patients with penicillin allergy labels often receive alternative antibiotics, which is associated with increased rates of surgical-site infections, multi-drug-resistant infections, and cost.
Objective: We sought to determine whether a hospital-wide guideline recommending first-line surgical prophylaxis in patients with penicillin allergy labels can increase the use of cefazolin without compromising safety.

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a widely distributed and persistent organic pollutant, is known to cause immune dysfunction. In a previous study, we reported that PFOS modestly increases mast cell activation. However, its effects on FcεRI (a high-affinity IgE receptor)-mediated mast cell activation, a pivotal process in inflammatory allergic reactions and innate immunity, have not been clearly demonstrated.

Background: Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis and is administered via intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SC) injection. AQST-109, a sublingual film containing a prodrug of epinephrine, is in development as an alternative delivery method for the treatment of severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis.
Objective: To compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of epinephrine following administration of AQST-109 to epinephrine delivered by manual IM injection and epinephrine autoinjectors (EAIs).
