1-2 intramuscular injections with 100 mg dexamethason in persons without arthritis but with elevated serum levels of rheumatoid factor and or anti-CCP will lead to a reduction in antibody concentrations after 6 months and possibly to a lower…
For the prevention of diabetic foot ulceration, evidence exists to support the use of home-monitoring of foot skin temperature by means of a hand-held infrared skin thermometer. However, the construct validity of skin temperature measurements is…
Pre- and probiotics are able to change the composition of the altered intestinal microbiota that is found in allergic patients, indicating beneficial effects of these nutritional components in the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases. The…
