Assessment of the use of immunosuppressants combined with cord blood for severe aplastic anemia
Conclusion: 1) Th17 and Th22 producing cells in SAA patients significantly increased indicating a positive correlation between these biomarkers and the progression of SAA. 2) During the IS + CBI treatment the maintenance of a normal hematopoietic function depended on immunesup-pressants. Early umbilical cord blood chimerism engraftment may promote hematopoietic recovery. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology)

Renin angiotensin system blockers-associated angioedema in the Thai population: analysis from Thai National Pharmacovigilance Database
Conclusions: RASBA in Thai population occurred mostly in elderly female patients and often led to hospitalization. Since large number of patients is regularly exposed to RAS-blockers, a nationwide attempt to raise awareness of clinicians when prescribing RAS-blockers is prudent.Conclusions: RASBA in Thai population occurred mostly in elderly female patients and often led to hospitalization.

Evolution of the incidence of pollen grains and sensitivity to pollen in the city of Elche (Spain)
Conclusion: Increased pollen counts in the environment may have led to increased sensitization to pollen. Possible causes may be due to changes in the weather, although the improvements of the extracts used in skin testing, increased air pollution, and/or climate change are factors to consider.  (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology)

What we miss if standard panel is used for skin prick testing?
Conclusions: Though some of sensitizations may occur due to cross-reactivity, almost 40% of sensitized children were also co-sensitized to the additional allergens tested. Physicians should consider further steps when a negative or inconsistent result is achieved through a standard skin test panel. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology)
