BACKGROUND: The reported incidence of biphasic anaphylactic reactions varies from 1% to 20%. Reported risk factors for biphasic reactions include a delay in epinephrine administration and a longer interval to initial improvement. To date, only 4 cases of biphasic reactions after allergen immunotherapy have been reported.
OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine the incidence, clinical characteristics, and risk factors for biphasic reactions after allergen-specific immunotherapy.
METHODS: ...

Cholinesterases as scavengers for organophosphorus compounds: Protection of primate performance against soman toxicity
[ PUBLICATION ]
The present treatment for poisoning by organophosphates consists of multiple drugs such as carbamates, antimuscarinics, and reactivators in pre- and post-exposure modalities. Recently an anticonvulsant, diazapam, has been included as a post-exposure drug to reduce convulsions and increase survival. Most regimens are effective in preventing lethality from organophosphate exposure but do not prevent toxic effects and incapacitation observed in animals and likely to occur in humans. Use of ...

BACKGROUND: Concern about accidental contact transmission after smallpox vaccination has prompted various recommendations regarding vaccination site coverage.
METHODS: On days 6-8 after their first-ever smallpox vaccination, 63 adult subjects were randomized to apply a self-adhesive bandage (n=20), gauze with adhesive tape (n=21), or gauze with a semipermeable dressing (n=22) over the vaccination site for a mean of 8+/-2 h. Swabs from the external bandage surfaces and the vaccination ...

BACKGROUND: Skin puncture and intradermal tests are commonly used to evaluate allergic rhinitis. Ethyl chloride, a topical vapocoolant spray, provides skin analgesia before venipuncture, but it has not been studied with allergy skin testing.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of ethyl chloride vs placebo on skin puncture testing (SPT) and intradermal allergy testing.
METHODS: We enrolled 20 healthy adults with a history of positive aeroallergen skin test results in a randomized, ...

Penicillin Allergy…Maybe Not? The Military Relevance for Penicillin Testing and De-labeling.
[ PUBLICATION ]
INTRODUCTION: Penicillin allergy is the most common drug allergy reported. About 8-10% of individuals in the USA have a documented penicillin allergy, yet 90% are not truly allergic to penicillin. A penicillin allergy "label" results in increased antibiotic-related adverse reactions and increased health care costs, thus impacting the overall "readiness" of the military.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A review of the current literature and approaches to penicillin allergy and "de-labeling" a ...

Amplification of the effectiveness of acetylcholinesterase for detoxification of organophosphorus compounds by bis-quaternary oximes
[ PUBLICATION ]
Pretreatment of rhesus monkeys with fetal bovine serum acetylcholinesterase (FBS AChE) provides complete protection against 5 LD50 of organophosphate (OP) without any signs of toxicity or performance decrements as measured by serial probe recognition tests or primate equilibrium platform performance (Maxwell et al., Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 115: 44-49, 1992; Wolfe et al., Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 117: 189-193, 1992). Although such use of enzyme as a single pretreatment drug for OP toxicity ...

Safe administration of a gelatin-containing vaccine in an adult with galactose-α-1,3-galactose allergy
[ PUBLICATION ]
Immunoglobulin (Ig) E antibodies to galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-Gal) are associated with delayed anaphylaxis to mammalian food products and gelatin-based foods (Commins et al., J Allergy Clin Immunol 2009;123:426; Caponetto et al., J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract 2013;1:302). We describe a patient with α-Gal allergy who successfully tolerated the live zoster vaccine and we review anaphylactic reactions reported to this vaccine. Our patient, who tolerated a vaccine containing the highest ...

BACKGROUND: Gustatory rhinitis is a type of nonallergic rhinitis that is usually associated with ingestion of hot or spicy foods. Characteristics of this condition and its impact on food choices have not been studied.
OBJECTIVE: To survey individuals regarding causative foods, association with atopic conditions, and food avoidance behaviors for gustatory rhinitis.
METHODS: An original, self-administered questionnaire was distributed to children and adults who were seen in a busy ...

BACKGROUND: Although the framework and potential benefits for using telemedicine have been described, allergy-specific outcomes are often limited or have a narrow focus.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the percentage of new and follow-up visits conducted via synchronous telemedicine requiring an in-person visit.
METHODS: A retrospective review evaluating synchronous tele-allergy appointments in a hospital-based allergy clinic was performed.
RESULTS: A total of 360 unique patients participated in ...

Synchronous telehealth for outpatient allergy consultations A 2-year regional experience
[ PUBLICATION ]
BACKGROUND: Telehealth continues to advance as a health care modality; however, reported experience for synchronous TeleAllergy is limited.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the percentage of new and follow-up visits conducted via TeleAllergy in a hospital-based clinic.
METHODS: A retrospective study evaluating the first 2 years of a synchronous patient-to-allergist TeleAllergy platform.
RESULTS: A total of 112 synchronous TeleAllergy encounters were conducted from January 2014 through December ...

Introduction: U.S. military forces have engaged in combat in mature areas of operations (AOs) in Iraq and Afghanistan that allow for casualty evacuation to definitive surgical care within "The Golden Hour." Future combat casualty care will be complex and challenging. Facing the medical demand of the Multi-Domain Battlefield remains an uncertain problem set. What can be anticipated is that a near peer adversary will not allow freedom of movement, air superiority, or uninterrupted ...
