Article Abstract
Background: Negative patch test results with fragrance allergy markers in the European baseline series do not always predict a negative reaction to individual fragrance substances.
Objectives: To determine the frequencies of positive test reactions to the 26 fragrance substances for which labelling is mandatory in the EU, and how effectively reactions to fragrance markers in the baseline series predict positive reactions to the fragrance substances that are labelled.
Methods: The records of 1951 eczema patients, routinely tested with the labelled fragrance substances and with an extended European baseline series in 2011 and 2012, were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: Two hundred and eighty-one (14.4%) (71.2% females) reacted to one or more allergens from the labelled-fragrance substance series and/or a fragrance marker from the European baseline series. The allergens that were positive with the greatest frequencies were cinnamyl alcohol (48; 2.46%), Evernia furfuracea (44; 2.26%), and isoeugenol (40; 2.05%). Of the 203 patients who reacted to any of the 26 fragrances in the labelled-fragrance substance series, only 117 (57.6%) also reacted to a fragrance marker in the baseline series. One hundred and seven (52.7%) reacted to either fragrance mix I or fragrance mix II, 28 (13.8%) reacted to Myroxylon pereirae, and 13 (6.4%) reacted to hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde.
Conclusions: These findings confirm that the standard fragrance markers fail to identify patients with contact allergies to the 26 fragrances.

Impact of functional status in patients with muscular dystrophy-associated cardiomyopathy on survival after heart transplantation.

Background: Heart transplant (HTx) in dystrophy patients has been shown to have a similar survival to cardiomyopathy from other causes, but postoperative rehabilitation remains an issue. This study aimed to review and analyze the reports in the literature to determine whether pre- and post-transplant functional status along with wheelchair dependence in dystrophy patients can influence post-HTx outcomes.
Research Design And Methods: Relevant databases were queried for all case reports and case series regarding HTx in patients with dystrophy-associated cardiomyopathy published in the literature.
Prevalence of Contact Allergy to Rubber Accelerators From the European Baseline Series in Dermatitis Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Rubber accelerators are chemicals used as vulcanizers in the production of rubber items and may cause contact allergy (CA). The aim of this study was to assess the worldwide prevalence of CA to rubber accelerators from the European baseline series among dermatitis patients. A comprehensive literature search across PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science yielded 106 studies with 826 543 individuals patch tested between 1984 and 2023.

Understanding seagrass dynamics is crucial for the effective management and conservation of seagrass meadows. However, such information remains limited for many regions worldwide, including Kuta Mandalika on Lombok Island, Indonesia. This rapidly developing coastal area, which is home to both tourism infrastructure and an international race circuit, hosts extensive seagrass meadows whose condition and dynamics require careful assessment.

Objective: To evaluate multiparametric MRI features of pediatric soft-tissue sarcomas, comparing pre-treatment and post-treatment features, and assessing correlation with clinical outcomes.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective cohort study, including pediatric patients (≤ 18 years) with histologically-confirmed soft-tissue sarcomas who underwent MRI with anatomic and functional sequences in consecutive series. Post-treatment MRI was available for a subset, and features were recorded by two readers.
