Product Description
Abstract: Allergic rhinitis is one of the most common presentations of allergic disorders in the United States, affecting more than 20% of the population. Chronic rhinitis affects patients' quality of life and exacerbates comorbid conditions. Its widespread burden affects society by substantially decreasing worker and scholastic productivity. Allergic rhinitis is typically managed with pharmacotherapy to alleviate symptoms and control comorbid conditions, yet many of these agents carry their own burden due to bothersome and sometimes severe side effects that can compromise patient safety. A new generation of non- or less-sedating antihistamines has recently emerged. These agents offer the promise of enhanced efficacy and tolerability. Of these agents, levocetirizine is the latest antihistamine introduced in the United States. It appears to be safe and effective for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. In addition to covering the above topics, this article reviews the value of levocetirizine for the treatment of allergic rhinitis based on its pharmacologic and pharmacokinetic profile, its efficacy compared with placebo and other new-generation antihistamines, and its safety and tolerability. ...

Product Description
Die ?Schnüffelkrankheit des Schweines?, Rhinitis atrophicans, wurde schon 1830 beschrieben. Trotzdem ist sie noch heute, jetzt korrekter Progressive Rhinitis atrophicans, auch in der modernen Tierproduktion eine der wirtschaftlich bedeutsamsten Infektionskrankheiten des Schweins. Die Schwierigkeit ihrer Beherrschung bis in die Gegenwart bestand lange in der Uneinigkeit über die Ätiologie. Erst in den letzten 25 Jahren wurde die ursächliche Rolle toxinogener Stämme von Pasteurella multocida für die Herausbildung eines fortschreitenden, irreversiblen Krankheitsbildes allgemein anerkannt. Der Befall von Schweinebeständen war, nicht mehr nur durch die Klinik, sondern über die Anwesenheit der Erreger, Potenz der Ausprägung und Ausbreitung, neu zu definieren. Lange galt die Merzung ganzer infizierter Herden und der Neuaufbau aus kontrolliert freien Herkünften als einziger zielführender Weg einer Sanierung. Diese Arbeit beschreibt die erfolgreiche Eradikation aus einem geschlossenem Schweinebestand, bei laufender Produktion, durch die Selektion erkannter und potenzieller Keimträger, unter Verwendung einer PCR-Methode zur Diagnostik und gibt Hinweise für die Optimierung des Verfahrens. ...
