Allergists should also review each patient's symptoms before every injection

Allergists should also review each patient's symptoms before every injection, Nelson said. "Patients shouldn't be actively wheezing, they shouldn't be waking up at night due to asthma symptoms and their pulmonary function should be relatively normal." If symptoms are flaring up, doctors should postpone the injection.

Professional guidelines recommend that patients remain under observation for 30 to 45 minutes after an injection, so that clinicians can recognize any serious reactions and treat them immediately.

The review appears in the current issue of The Cochrane Library, a publication of The Cochrane Collaboration, an international organization that evaluates research in all aspects of health care. Systematic reviews draw evidence-based conclusions about medical practice after considering both the content and quality of existing trials on a topic.

The meta-analysis encompasses 88 studies, with 13 published since 2001, and about 3,800 participants. All studies were randomized controlled trials. Most of the studies focus on house mite or pollen allergies, while a few looked at animal dander, mold, latex or a combination of allergens.

"Among allergists there's no question that asthma caused by allergies is responsive to immunotherapy," Nelson said. "The advantage of immunotherapy is that it causes long-lasting, if not permanent, improvement."

Furthermore, most people who have allergy-induced asthma also have nasal symptoms, Nelson said. "They have to inhale steroids into their lungs and spray them into their nose, and a lot of people don't like to do that forever. Immunotherapy treats both the nasal and chest symptoms."

Self-Testing Method For “Laser-Accurate” Results

The 7 Step Self-Testing Method For "Laser-Accurate" Results
One way to greatly increase your accuracy is to be ruthlessly consistent in your
pinching technique by using an "anatomical landmark." This means that before
grabbing a skinfold, you must carefully LOCATE the precise spot to pinch by finding
a reference point such as a bony protrusion (like where the top of your hip bone
pokes out). That reminds me, one of my clients once had her husband mark "the
pinching spot" with a permanent marker to improve her testing accuracy. Kind of
funny, but I'm sure she got a very accurate reading each week! (Although she'd
probably get some odd stares if she showed up at the beach with lines drawn all
over her!)
Anyway, the purpose of the "anatomical landmark" is to help you pinch exactly the
same spot each time to increase your accuracy. If you pinch one inch to the left,
right, above or below the usual spot, this will decrease your accuracy. Locating the
anatomical landmark will help you pinch the exact same spot every time.

What Is Skeletal Muscle?

Skeletal Muscle Allows Movement
What Is Skeletal Muscle?
Skeletal muscle is made up of very specialized cells that have the ability to
shorten when they are stimulated. With the exception of reflex mechan-
isms, such as the knee tap by a physician, movement of our skeletal
muscle is under the command of our brain, as mentioned earlier. Because
muscle cells are very long they are often referred to as muscle fibers.
 The fibers are bundled up like a box of dry spaghetti or
straight wires in a cable. The muscle fiber bundles are themselves bundled
up and are part of larger collection of similar bundles which make up a
particular muscle. Skeletal muscle is so named because it is generally
anchored at both ends to different bones of our skeleton by tendons.
When muscle contracts, it pulls on a specific bone, which moves the bone,
thus moving a body part.
