Social restriction versus herd immunity policies in the early phase of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: A mathematical modelling study

Two main strategies to cope with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic—lockdown (social restriction) and non-lockdown (herd immunity plan)—have been implemented in several countries.

Immediate allergic reaction to thiocolchicoside confirmed by skin testing and basophil activation test: A case report and literature review

Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic. Administered orally, intramuscularly, or topically, this drug is used in the symptomatic treatment of muscular spasms and rheumatologic disorders. Despite its extensive use, thiocolchicoside is a very rare sensitizer.

Interaction of the TLR4 rs1927911 polymorphism with house dust mite sensitization in allergic rhinitis with its prognosis

Sensitization to the house dust mite (HDM) plays important roles in the development of allergic rhinitis (AR). Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a key initiator of the innate immune system upon exposure to environmental factors.

Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors in Thai patients with multiple myeloma

Natural killer (NK) cells have been implicated in the immune response against multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) regulate NK cell activity by recognizing specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I as ligands.

Exercise-food challenge test in patients with wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis

Wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) is a severe and potentially life-threatening food allergy. Diagnosis of WDEIA is challenging because reactions are not always reproducible.

Risk factors of food sensitization in young children with atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic and relapsing skin disease in children and food allergies have been well documented in one-third of children. However, there are limit data about the risk factors of food sensitization in children with AD.

Genetic diversity of the dengue virus population in dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever patients

The error-prone replication of dengue virus (DENV) in host results in the highly diverse viral population. Together with the host factor, intra-host diversity may influence the disease severity. Therefore, it is worth investigating whether there is a correlation between intra-host genetic diversity and disease severity.
