Allergi

”Min videnskabelige nysgerrighed er i den grad pirret! Både min datter, flere andre familiemedlemmer og venner har prøvet det med gode resultater. Alle store nye opdagelser udfordrer vores menneskelige intellekt og skepsis. Metoden, som er beskrevet her, er en klar kandidat til en større videnskabelig undersøgelse. Det ville være fantastisk, hvis vi står over for et gennembrud i forståelsen af allergi – og samtidig en enkel og effektiv behandlingsmetode til at fjerne allergien.” Jan Utzon, Speciallæge i Samfunds- og Miljømedicin”Torben Frank Andersen og Ole Larsen har skrevet en meget udførlig bog om allergi, der i den grad inddrager et helhedsperspektiv, som allergibehandling har brug for. WHO har forudsagt, at 70 % af alle sygdomme i 2020 vil være stressrelaterede. Bogen illustrerer på udmærket vis sammenhængen mellem stress, allergi og sygdom. At allergi er psykosomatisk/en programmeringsfejl, er helt i tråd med, hvordan vi forstår hjernens tolkning af sensoriske inputs fra omgivelserne – og endnu et spændende perspektiv på chok/traume-behandling. Jeg hilser bogen velkommen og håber, at mange flere vil tage det forebyggende og helhedsorienterede perspektiv til sig.” Jesper Peter Rasmussen, Stressambassadøren og Københavns Gestalt Institut

Ifølge Astma-Allergi Danmark har hver femte dansker allergi. Mange mennesker lever hver dag med gener og belastninger, som kan forringe livskvaliteten. Flere er ramt af gentagen nysen, eksem, kløe, tilstoppet næse, tør hud etc. Allergi er en overreaktion i immunsystemet på ellers normalt uskadelige stoffer, og både voksne og børn rammes af sygdommen. Med en så stor gruppe af mennesker, der er berørt af allergi, er det kun naturligt, at myter om sygdommen florerer. Derfor laver vi nu bogen 100 myter om allergi for at finde hoved og hale i de ofte modstridende udsagn om sygdommen. Myterne er f.eks.: OPVÆKST I ET HJEM MED PELSDYR ØGER RISIKOEN FOR UDVIKLING AF ASTMA OG ALLERGI ALLERGI KAN UDLØSES AF STRESSALLERGI ER LIGESÅ ALMINDELIGT PÅ LANDET SOM I BYEN. 100 myter om allergi er den tiende bog i myteserien fra FADL’s Forlag. Den går mere ind i det sundhedsfaglige felt end de seneste udgivelser om mad, sex og kærlighed. Forfatteren bag bogen er børnelæge Jesper Brandt Andersen, der tidligere har skrevet bøgerne Børnelægens store bog om barnets sygdomme og biografien om den danske anatom Thomas Bartholin.

En dysbiose er en overvægt af skadelige mikroorganismer, svampe og sygdomsfremkaldende bakterier, hvor svampe, bakterier eller parasitter har svært ved at indgå i det harmoniske fællesskab, der findes i kroppen. Det kan ødelægge tarmfloraen og forårsage inflammation, øget tarmgennemtrængelighed og medvirke til udviklingen at fødevareallergier, fødevareintolerancer og sensitivitet over for fødevarer.Bogen giver en god indsigt i, hvordan du kan bringe kroppen i balance, på et sprog, som er let at forstå med mange gode forklaringer og lækre opskrifter.

"Bogen om Allergi" er for danskere, der har allergi – eller som gerne vil undgå at få allergi hos dem selv eller deres børn.Bogen er en opslagsbog og dens særlige, brugervenlige opbygning gør sammen med over 250 fotos og letforståelige tekster, at alle – uanset allergi’erfaring’ og læselyst – nemt og hurtigt finder frem til præcis den information, de mangler. Her er både grundlæggende fakta til dem uden allergi, mere uddybende til dem, der lige har fået konstateret allergi, men også særlige fif til dem, der har haft allergi i mange år."Bogen om Allergi" beskriver alle allergityper, er målrettet 'forebyggelse' og dens faglige indhold er gennemgået af 10 førende allergieksperter. Den kombination er aldrig set før, og derfor er "Bogen om Allergi" helt unik og uundværlig i den moderne danske familie.Forfatteren har også skrevet "Bogen om Tvillinger 0-10 år" og "Uge-for-uge-kalender - til dig, der venter tvillinger".

Dette er en meget personlig beskrivelse af en ung kvindes rejse, hvis fysiske reaktion på svære oplevelser især kommer til udtryk via hudens reaktion og både bliver en udfordring, men også anledning til selvhealing.De, der aldrig har været generet af hudproblemer, uanset om det er pletter, bumser, pigmentpletter, eksem, akne, dermatitis eller rosacea, kan måske have svært ved at sætte sig ind i, hvor meget det kan fylde i én. Nogle gange ser folk det slet ikke så meget, som man selv tror, men det kan fylde i ens opmærksomhed og dominere i en grad, at det tager fokus fra, hvad man ellers gør. Rosacea er en tricky hudreaktion og to helt identiske udgaver findes ikke, men der er mange fællesnævnere, som på en let og overskuelig måde bliver introduceret i bogen.Må denne bog blive en inspiration til dig, uanset om det handler om at finde løsninger til samme udfordring eller selve det at få inspiration til ikke at give op og blive ved med at søge livsglæde og livskraft – og få opmærksomhed på vores organisme som en helhed og ikke adskilt. Alene det at kunne spejle sig i Karinas modige deling af sin historie og ikke føle sig alene om det.

Cutaneous adverse drug reactions are common and range from the benign to those which are life-threatening. The clinical presentation of these dermatoses is varied and many may mimic common skin conditions. Consequently, diagnosis in drug-induced skin disease is challenging and the treatment considerations are complex.     This book aims to bridge the divide between dermatology and allergy by providing a comprehensive review on the pathomechanisms and clinical features of cutaneous adverse drug reactions. Broken up into three distinct sections: General Considerations, Reaction Patterns, and Special Drug Categories, these chapters cover the common and rare adverse skin reactions and provide information on recent advances - particularly immunopathology and pharmacogenetics - as well as highlighting new adverse drug signals and novel therapies. Drug Eruptions is a must-have resource for dermatologists, allergists, internal physicians and general practitioners.

Allergies are a significant health issue, yet few books exist on allergen tolerance of separation; here the author classifies allergen tolerance breakdown in specific types, according to the possibility that the autonomic breakdown of allergen tolerance in the unified airway depends on a deficit of pro-tolerogenic neurotransmitters at the local level. This paradigm, which explains the pathogenesis of allergic disorders, opens to new approaches to allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT). While focusing on the new atopic disorders of the unified airway, such as local allergic rhinitis, "e;dual"e; allergic rhinitis, local allergic asthma, and local allergic conjunctivitis, the work combines clinical examples of allergic diseases and their treatment with their immunological background. The topics range from the specific immune-derived maintenance of allergen tolerance and the role of the neuroimmune network in allergic inflammation to conventional atopic diseases and more particular issues of local atopic disorders in the unified airway, oral tolerance, and its breakdown, and its translation in genitourinary aspects of allergic inflammation. Specific chapters are also devoted to allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) and anti-allergy treatments. Thought for upper graduate students, it will also be a valued resource for allergy practitioners, pulmonologists, ENT specialists, pediatricians, and translational researchers. Textbook of Allergen Tolerance includes classical didactic features such as abstracts, keywords, background notes, discussion points, and Q&A., as well as 20 audio files Text-to-Speech for the visually impaired, and 10 video to support the readers.

This textbook assembles the wealth of clinical experiences across multiple medical specialties and offers clinical pearls that will result in better patient care and are highly relevant to daily practice. This book has been compiled by many renowned clinicians, medical educators, and researchers who are experts in their respective disciplines across Australia, New Zealand and the United States. The chapters provide multiple cases in vignette format, illustrating the clinical pearls, and finish with a discussion and practical tips. This format will allow the reader to easily understand how the clinical pearls can be applied in clinical practice. Evidence-based medicine and clinical guidelines help us choose the best management and treatment options for our patients. However, many questions in medicine have not been researched or are not readily amenable to research. In fact, there is more to the art and mastery of practicing clinical medicine than the evidence-based approach. Information gained over years of reflective clinical practice and cumulative wisdom adds value to evidence-based clinical medicine. With experience and clinical gestalt playing an equal, if not a more prominent role than what evidence can offer in a physician¿s approach to solving clinical problems, this book offers unique perspectives on the practice of medicine.Beyond Evidence-Based Medicine: Clinical Pearls from Experienced Physicians will be valuable for later-year medical students, medical educators, doctors in training, and consultant physicians alike. Aiming to improve the day-to-day medical practices of professionals, the Editors have invited experienced physicians to share their expertise culminating in a unique book with broad applicability and appeal.

This edited collection of 12 chapters by research workers from a wide range of disciplines resolves the confusion that currently surrounds the "e;hygiene hypothesis"e; by considering the human need for exposure to microorganisms from an evolutionary point of view.  The book explains why we evolved a requirement for exposure to microbiota from our mothers, from other people, and from the natural environment. It also explains the physiological roles of these exposures, what goes wrong when the exposures are distorted and how human lifestyles and activities, including degradation of the natural environment, are leading to this distortion.  Particular attention is given to the range of pathologies associated with inappropriate microbial exposures and inappropriate colonization, including immunoregulatory problems such as allergies and autoimmunity, metabolic problems such as obesity and diabetes, and problems of central nervous system function and neurodegeneration.  This book is of profound relevance to most medical disciplines, but also to those concerned with preserving the natural environment and with developing healthier urbanisation.

Urticaria is one of the most common diseases in dermatology and allergy. Unlike many other diseases, the ? eeting nature of the wheals makes ? rst diagnosis by both patients and phy- cians in many cases easy. However, this only refers to the ordinary wheals. The disease itself is highly complex in nature, with variety of clinical manifestations ranging from pinpoi- sized wheals to extensive angiodema. Complexity is also seen in the diversity of possible eliciting factors, the many different clinical subtypes and the therapeutic responsiveness. Only in recent years has a better understanding of the diversity in the different subtypes led to new classi? cations and new evidence-based guidelines for diagnostics and mana- ment of the disease. While mast cells are in the center of most urticaria reactions, it is now clearly understood that the responsible mediators are not only limited to histamines. The current book appears in a series of books by Springer. In 1986, the ? rst monograph was edited by Professor Henz nee Chanewsky. Since then, two updates of the book have appeared in the German language with Professor Henz as ? rst editor and T. Zuberbier, J. Grabbe, and E. Monroe as the co-editors of the most recent English version, published in 1998. All these books have been written as a joint effort of Professor Henz together with her team at the Department of Dermatology at the Virchow Clinic, Humboldt University, Berlin.
