  2. Pseudoallergy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoallergy

    Pseudoallergy, sometimes known as nonallergic hypersensitivity, is a type of hypersensitivity reaction mostly described in the context of drug allergy.The mechanism is somewhat similar to the type 1 hypersensitivity in the Gell and Coombs classification in that the effector cell is also mast cell.

  3. 1,2,6-Hexanetriol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,2,6-Hexanetriol

    1,2,6-Hexanetriol is a trivalent alcohol with two primary and one secondary hydroxy group. It is similar to glycerol in many respects and is used as a substitute for glycerol in many applications due to its more advantageous properties, such as higher thermal stability and lower hygroscopicity .

  4. Hypersensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersensitivity

    Type I hypersensitivity occurs as a result of exposure to an antigen. The antigens are proteins with a molecular weight ranging from 10 to 40 kDa. [10] The response to the antigen occurs in two stages: the sensitization and the effect stage. In the "sensitization" stage, the host experiences an asymptomatic contact with the antigen.

  5. 1,6-Hexanediol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,6-hexanediol

    1,6-Hexanediol can improve the hardness and flexibility of polyesters as it contains a fairly long hydrocarbon chain. In polyurethanes, it is used as a chain extender , and the resulting modified polyurethane has high resistance to hydrolysis as well as mechanical strength, but with a low glass transition temperature.

  6. ICD coding for rare diseases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICD_coding_for_rare_diseases

    Europe and other parts of the world use the ICD-10. The root codes for ICD-10 and ICD-10-CM are the same, making it helpful for locating codes for general body systems and disease processes. [2] [3] In ICD-11 the search and coding of any disease, including rare ones is done via the ICD-11 website. [4]

  7. Multiple chemical sensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_chemical_sensitivity

    From 2011-2016 Multiple Chemical Sensitivity was illegally added to the USA ICD10 medical diagnostic code system. The CDC ICD10 code maintenance supervisor said they have no idea how it got into the system. It was removed in 2011.

  8. Allergic contact dermatitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allergic_contact_dermatitis

    A patch test (contact delayed hypersensitivity allergy test) [17] is a commonly used examination to determine the exact cause of an allergic contact dermatitis. According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, "patch testing is the gold standard for contact allergen identification". [2]

  9. Solar urticaria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_urticaria

    Solar urticaria is an immunoglobulin E-mediated hypersensitivity that can be introduced through primary or secondary factors, or induced by exogenous photosensitization. [15] [16] Primary SU is believed to be a type I hypersensitivity (a mild to severe reaction to an antigen including anaphylaxis) in which an antigen, or substance provoking an immune response, is "induced by UV or visible ...
