Our 13-year experience indicates a changing landscape of (meth)acrylate contact allergy and allergic contact disease, with an observed shift in exposures away from manufacturing and towards acrylic nail sources. Wound dressings are highlighted as emerging sources of sensitization. Larger studies are required to establish the sensitivity and specificity of the four (meth)acrylates proposed for potential screening.

ABSTRACT Background:There is a significant rate of sensitisation worldwide to the oxidised fragrance terpenes limonene and linalool. Patch testing to oxidised terpenes is not routinely carried out; the ideal patch test concentration is unknown.

These findings suggest that at PDAI ≥ 7, every incremental increase in PDAI had a smaller detrimental impact on QoL. For the ABSIS, there was no significant difference in slopes before and after a given score, along with a higher P-value overall. Our results support previous findings 6 that the PDAI is superior to the ABSIS at capturing disease severity, especially at the lower end of disease activity (Figure 1c,d).To significantly improve QoL for patients with mucosal and nonmucosal PV, complete disease clearance may be necessary. Small amounts of worsening activity have an increasingly significant impact on QoL at the lower end of the spectrum. Above mild levels of activity, increasing activity has linear but detrimental smaller effects on QoL. The findings for patients with mucosal PV further support this, likely because oral erosions are painful and impact eating. Consistent with prior findings, 2 the Skindex-S best correlates with PDAI score in all patients.A notable limitation of this study is that our population had milder disease, with a median PDAI of 6Á75 and ABSIS of 11Á75. However, we are still able to show a change in QoL as the PDAI decreases, even at lower PDAI levels. Our findings have important clinical implications in determining appropriate outcomes for therapies. 7 Unlike dermatomyositis and systemic lupus erythematosus, 4 in patients with PV, complete clearance should be the goal.
The mini-Wright peak flow meter (MPFM) has been evaluated, and the results obtained from it show a strong positive correlation (r= 0-970) with the Wright's peak flow meter (PFM). MPFM measurements, however, were biased to be about 38 1/min higher than PFM measurements (95% confidence limits 31[0 1/min to 450 1/min). Between instrument variation was found (F-ratio 3 67 with 9 and 81 degrees of freedom: P<0 001). In practice this did not appreciably affect individual measurements greatly as 95% confidence limits on any individual measurements were increased from 241/min to 271/min. There was no significant day-to-day variability in measurements obtained with individual instruments. The MPFM is a pocket-sized, simple, cheap, and robust instrument for following changes in ventilatory function. In clinical trials and surveys, however, both the bias in favour of the MPFM compared to the PFM and inter-machine variation must be taken into account. As the manufacturers have altered the scale to remove the bias since this study was performed, it will be important to know whether the original or the modified meter is being used in future studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
