Adverse reactions during hemodialysis (HD) sessions although infrequent can be severe. We report two cases of recurrent adverse reactions to HD biocompatible synthetic membranes. Change to AN-69 dialyzer allowed subsequent uneventful HD sessions. This may be due to the surface treated membrane, which provides greater adsorption capacity and improved biocompatibility.

Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is the only treatment capable of modifying the natural history of allergic diseases by promoting immune tolerance. Initially developed for respiratory allergies, AIT has expanded to include food allergies, particularly through oral immunotherapy (OIT). This review explores the historical evolution, current applications, and future directions of AIT in pediatric patients.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combining levocarnitine with tadalafil in treating oligozoospermia and asthenozoospermia and to analyze its effects on serum sex hormone levels and sexual function.
Methods: A total of 80 patients diagnosed with oligozoospermia or asthenozoospermia at our hospital between March 2023 and February 2024 were randomly divided into two groups, A and B, with 40 patients each. Group A received levocarnitine combined with tadalafil, while Group B was administered levocarnitine alone.

Background: While pegylated Escherichia coli asparaginase (PEG) is an integral component of leukemia and lymphoma treatment, hypersensitivity reactions (HSR) remain a common adverse event, often resulting in adjustments to the treatment regimen, increasing the burden on patients and families. HSR to asparaginase often indicates a transition to Erwinia asparaginase (ERW), which requires patients to return to the hospital 6 times for subcutaneous injections to replace one dose of IV PEG. Previous trials have demonstrated rates of HSR to pegylated E.
