Respiratory disease resulting from prolonged exposure to wood dusts may be due to a hypersensitivity reaction in addition to the nonspecific toxic or irritant effects of the inhaled materials. In four ...

Using a mouse model, researchers from Japan uncover the key role of neutrophil extracellular traps in the contact hypersensitivity response. Contact hypersensitivity (CHS), commonly known as contact ...

Modifiable patient factors, such as BMI, vitamin D levels and diabetes, can be optimized preoperatively to reduce the risk of infection and other postoperative complications. However, sometimes ...
