In this article, Dr Varadarajulu gives an overview of both acute and chronic urticaria and the angioedema that accompanies it in about 40% of patients. She also outlines an approach to help evaluate and manage these common conditions. ... Read more

Excerpt: Anaphylaxis is an acute multi-system severe type I hypersensitivity reaction. The term comes from the Greek words ana (against) and phylaxis (protection). Due in part to the variety of definitions, between 1% and 15% of the population of the United States can be considered "at risk" for having an anaphylactic reaction if they are exposed to one or more allergens. Of those people who actually experience anaphylaxis, up to 1% may die as a result. Anaphylaxis results in approximately 1,500 deaths per year in the U.S. In England, mortality rates for anaphylaxis have been reported as up to 0.05 per 100,000 population, or around 10-20 a year. Anaphylactic reactions requiring hospital treatment appear to be increasing, with authorities in England reporting a threefold increase between 1994 and 2004.

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Solar urticaria (SU) is a rare condition in which exposure to ultraviolet or UV radiation, or sometimes even visible light, induces a case of urticaria or hives that can appear in both covered and uncovered areas of the skin. It is classified as a type of physical urticaria. The classification of disease types is somewhat controversial. One classification system distinguished various types of SU based on the wavelength of the radiation that causes the breakout; another classification system is based on the type of allergen that initiates a breakout. ...

Product Description
Inflammatory skin conditions can present obstacles that affect athletic participation. In eczema and psoriasis, cutaneous lesions can lead to skin breakdown, which may disqualify an athlete from participation and may also contribute to secondary infection. Adequate control of chronic skin conditions can, therefore, ensure more consistent athletic participation, and successful treatment may improve social functioning, as well. Clinicians treating athletes who have exercise-induced urticaria should be aware of the need for close observation and continual reassessment to distinguish between cholinergic urticaria and exercise-induced anaphylaxis.

The severity of skin conditions in athletes can range from merely annoying to life-threatening anaphylaxis with cutaneous findings. Clinicians need a working knowledge of commonly seen dermatologic conditions that pertain to exercise, and they must be able to recognize serious conditions when they arise. As with nondermatologic conditions in athletes, goals of evaluation and treatment include accurate diagnosis, recognition of the potential for worsening disease, and safe and successful return to play. Certain metabolic skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, and exercise-induced urticaria, may make exercise or sports participation more difficult. These conditions share an inflammatory origin, although their pathophysiologic mechanisms differ. ... Read more

From the author: Urticaria is characterized by short-lived swellings of the skin, mouth, and genitalia related to a transient leakage of plasma from small blood vessels into the surrounding connective tissues. It affects 10% to 25% of the population. Management of urticaria depends on its cause. Aggravating factors should be identified from the history, and triggering stimuli for physical urticaria avoided.
