Abstract
Purpose Validation of quantitative imaging biomarkers is a challenging task, due to the difficulty in measuring the ground truth of the target biological process. A digital phantom-based framework is established to systematically validate the quantitative characterization of tumor-associated vascular morphology and hemodynamics based on dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). Approach A digital phantom is employed to provide a ground-truth vascular system within which 45 synthetic tumors are simulated. Morphological analysis is performed on high-spatial resolution DCE-MRI data (spatial/temporal resolution = 30 to 300 μ m / 60 s ) to determine the accuracy of locating the arterial inputs of tumor-associated vessels (TAVs). Hemodynamic analysis is then performed on the combination of high-spatial resolution and high-temporal resolution (spatial/temporal resolution = 60 to 300 μ m / 1 to 10 s) DCE-MRI data, determining the accuracy of estimating tumor-associated blood pressure, vascular extraction rate, interstitial pressure, and interstitial flow velocity. Results The observed effects of acquisition settings demonstrate that, when optimizing the DCE-MRI protocol for the morphological analysis, increasing the spatial resolution is helpful but not necessary, as the location and arterial input of TAVs can be recovered with high accuracy even with the lowest investigated spatial resolution. When optimizing the DCE-MRI protocol for hemodynamic analysis, increasing the spatial resolution of the images used for vessel segmentation is essential, and the spatial and temporal resolutions of the images used for the kinetic parameter fitting require simultaneous optimization. Conclusion An in silico validation framework was generated to systematically quantify the effects of image acquisition settings on the ability to accurately estimate tumor-associated characteristics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study establishes a fluid dynamics model personalized with patient-specific imaging data to optimize neoadjuvant therapy (i.e., doxorubicin) protocols for breast cancers. METHODS Ten patients recruited at the University of Chicago were included in this study. Quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced and diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging data are leveraged to estimate patient-specific hemodynamic properties, which are then used to constrain the mechanism-based drug delivery model. Then, computer simulations of this model yield the subsequent drug distribution throughout the breast. By systematically varying the dosing schedule, we identify an optimized regimen for each patient using the maximum safe therapeutic duration (MSTD), which is a metric balancing treatment efficacy and toxicity. RESULTS With an individually optimized dose (range = 12.11-15.11 mg/m2 per injection), a 3-week regimen consisting of a uniform daily injection significantly outperforms all other scheduling strategies (P < 0.001). In particular, the optimal protocol is predicted to significantly outperform the standard protocol (P < 0.001), improving the MSTD by an average factor of 9.93 (range = 6.63 to 14.17). CONCLUSION A clinical-mathematical framework was developed by integrating quantitative MRI data, advanced image processing, and computational fluid dynamics to predict the efficacy and toxicity of neoadjuvant therapy protocols, thus enabling the rational identification of an optimal therapeutic regimen on a patient-specific basis. SIGNIFICANCE Our clinical-computational approach has the potential to enable optimization of therapeutic regimens on a patient-specific basis and provide guidance for prospective clinical trials aimed at refining neoadjuvant therapy protocols for breast cancers.

Abstract
Quantitative evaluation of an image processing method to perform as designed is central to both its utility and its ability to guide the data acquisition process. Unfortunately, these tasks can be quite challenging due to the difficulty of experimentally obtaining the "ground truth" data to which the output of a given processing method must be compared. One way to address this issue is via "digital phantoms", which are numerical models that provide known biophysical properties of a particular object of interest. In this contribution, we propose an in silico validation framework for dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) acquisition and analysis methods that employs a novel dynamic digital phantom. The phantom provides a spatiotemporally-resolved representation of blood-interstitial flow and contrast agent delivery, where the former is solved by a 1D-3D coupled computational fluid dynamic system, and the latter described by an advection-diffusion equation. Furthermore, we establish a virtual simulator which takes as input the digital phantom, and produces realistic DCE-MRI data with controllable acquisition parameters. We assess the performance of a simulated standard-of-care acquisition (Protocol A) by its ability to generate contrast-enhanced MR images that separate vasculature from surrounding tissue, as measured by the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). We find that the CNR significantly decreases as the spatial resolution (SRA, where the subscript indicates Protocol A) or signal-to-noise ratio (SNRA) decreases. Specifically, with an SNRA / SRA = 75 dB / 30 μm, the median CNR is 77.30, whereas an SNRA / SRA = 5 dB / 300 μm reduces the CNR to 6.40. Additionally, we assess the performance of simulated ultra-fast acquisition (Protocol B) by its ability to generate DCE-MR images that capture contrast agent pharmacokinetics, as measured by error in the signal-enhancement ratio (SER) compared to ground truth (PESER). We find that PESER significantly decreases the as temporal resolution (TRB) increases. Similar results are reported for the effects of spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio on PESER. For example, with an SNRB / SRB / TRB = 5 dB / 300 μm / 10 s, the median PESER is 21.00%, whereas an SNRB / SRB / TRB = 75 dB / 60 μm / 1 s, yields a median PESER of 0.90%. These results indicate that our in silico framework can generate virtual MR images that capture effects of acquisition parameters on the ability of generated images to capture morphological or pharmacokinetic features. This validation framework is not only useful for investigations of perfusion-based MRI techniques, but also for the systematic evaluation and optimization new MRI acquisition, reconstruction, and image processing techniques.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Standard-of-care neoadjuvant therapeutic regimens are based on clinical trials designed to identify treatment protocols at the population level, which cannot capture the unique characteristics of individual patients. Moreover, it is impossible for clinical trials to experimentally evaluate all the possible treatment combinations and dosing strategies. Mechanism-based, mathematical modeling can potentially address this critical barrier to achieving truly personalized treatment. In this contribution, we present preliminary results using a fluid dynamics model personalized with a patient's imaging data to optimize a drug injection protocol in breast cancer.
Methods: Nine breast cancer patients are included in this study. MRI data are acquired, processed, and used to estimate hemodynamics and imported to our drug delivery model. By varying the dosing schedule, the model predicts varying dynamics of drug distribution throughout the breast. We define an objective function, MSTD, balancing the treatment efficacy and toxicity, and use it to optimize the injection protocol for each patient. The injection schedules tested include: (a) single injection on day 1 of each 3-week cycle; double injections of half the total dose each at (b) day 1 and 2, (c) day 1 and 3, (d) day 1 and 5, and (e) day 1 and 8 within each 3-week cycle. The doses tested vary from 0 to 100 μg/ml of maximal plasma concentration. Improvement ratio of the optimal protocol to a standard protocol, 10 μg/ml via schedule (a), is measured.
Results: The optimal protocol and improvement are reported for each patient in Table 1.
Conclusion: Our modeling system can efficiently solve the personalization of drug injection protocol as an optimal control problem. Different patients have different optimal treatment protocols, each of which is predicted to outperform the standard protocol.

Abstract
There are increasing concerns regarding intracellular accumulation of gadolinium (Gd) after multiple dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI scans. We investigated whether a low dose (LD) of Gd-based contrast agent is as effective as a high dose (HD) for quantitative analysis of DCE-MRI data, and evaluated the use of a split dose protocol to obtain new diagnostic parameters. Female C3H mice (n = 6) were injected with mammary carcinoma cells in the hind leg. MRI experiments were performed on 9.4 T scanner. DCE-MRI data were acquired with 1.5 s temporal resolution before and after a LD (0.04 mmol/kg), then again after 30 min followed by a HD (0.2 mmol/kg) bolus injection of Omniscan. The standard Tofts model was used to extract physiological parameters (Ktrans and ve) with the arterial input function derived from muscle reference tissue. In addition, an empirical mathematical model was used to characterize maximum contrast agent uptake (A), contrast agent uptake rate (α) and washout rate (β and γ). There were moderate to strong correlations (r = 0.69-0.97, p < 0001) for parameters Ktrans, ve, A, α and β from LD versus HD data. On average, tumor parameters obtained from LD data were significantly larger (p < 0.05) than those from HD data. The parameter ratios, Ktrans, ve, A and α calculated from the LD data divided by the HD data, were all significantly larger than 1.0 (p < 0.003) for tumor. T2* changes following contrast agent injection affected parameters calculated from HD data, but this was not the case for LD data. The results suggest that quantitative analysis of LD data may be at least as effective for cancer characterization as quantitative analysis of HD data. In addition, the combination of parameters from two different doses may provide useful diagnostic information.

Abstract
The overall goal of this study is to employ quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data to constrain a patient-specific, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of blood flow and interstitial transport in breast cancer. We develop image processing methodologies to generate tumor-related vasculature-interstitium geometry and realistic material properties, using dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and diffusion weighted MRI (DW-MRI) data. These data are used to constrain CFD simulations for determining the tumor-associated blood supply and interstitial transport characteristics unique to each patient. We then perform a proof-of-principle statistical comparison between these hemodynamic characteristics in 11 malignant and 5 benign lesions from 12 patients. Significant differences between groups (i.e., malignant versus benign) were observed for the median of tumor-associated interstitial flow velocity ( P = 0.028 ), and the ranges of tumor-associated blood pressure (P = 0.016) and vascular extraction rate (P = 0.040). The implication is that malignant lesions tend to have larger magnitude of interstitial flow velocity, and higher heterogeneity in blood pressure and vascular extraction rate. Multivariable logistic models based on combinations of these hemodynamic data achieved excellent differentiation between malignant and benign lesions with an area under the receiver operator characteristic curve of 1.0, sensitivity of 1.0, and specificity of 1.0. This image-based model system is a fundamentally new way to map flow and pressure fields related to breast tumors using only non-invasive, clinically available imaging data and established laws of fluid mechanics. Furthermore, the results provide preliminary evidence for this methodology's utility for the quantitative characterization of breast cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: A tumor's blood supply and interstitial flow play an essential role in tumor growth, invasion, and treatment response. We have developed a methodology that employs quantitative MRI data to constrain a patient-specific, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of blood flow and interstitial transport within breast tumors. The dynamics of solute transport are characterized based on steady state flow fields, so that delivery of oxygen, nutrients, or therapies through the circulation can be estimated. It is a fundamentally new way to characterize breast tumor hemodynamics using MRI.
Method: Eleven malignant and five benign lesions from 12 patients were included in this study. Vessel segmentation and tracking were performed to reconstruct the whole breast vasculature and to identify vessels feeding or draining tumors. Ultrafast dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging data were analyzed to estimate the bolus arrival time, Ktrans (volume transfer coefficient), and ADC (apparent diffusion coefficient); these data were used to spatially assign flow direction, local vascular permeability, and tissue density, respectively. The model of steady state flow was described by three components: 1) blood flow following Poiseuille's law, 2) interstitial flow following Darcy's law, and 3) flux transmitted across the vascular walls following Starling's law. The behavior of drug delivery was described by an advection-diffusion equation in the interstitial tissue, with the profile of the vascular bolus as a source term. The whole system was solved with a 1D-3D coupled implementation. At the end of analysis, the tracer's propagation through the tissue-of-interest was visualized and hemodynamic characteristics are derived to compare the malignant and benign lesions.
Result: Visualization of the time-resolved distribution and propagation of solute demonstrated the intratumoral heterogeneity of accessibility to drugs. Furthermore, we are currently calculating the spatially-resolved accumulation, wash-in rate, and infiltration duration of different drugs for each lesion, so that a quantitative comparison can be performed between malignant and benign lesions.
Conclusion: We have developed a computational model, informed by patient-specific MRI data, to simulate the blood supply, interstitial fluid environment, and intratumorally heterogeneous access to therapies for breast tumors. It represents the first methodology of integrating CFD with patient specific MRI data for quantifying the spatiotemporally resolved drug propagation as well as the entire pressure and flow fields within the breast.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze component resolved diagnosis to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) in patients with respiratory allergy and its relationship with clinical severity in different geographical areas. METHODS 217 patients (mean age 25.85±12.7 years; 51.16% females) were included, selected from 13 centers in Portugal (5 from North, n=65). All had allergic rhinitis, with or without asthma, and had positive skin prick tests to at least one dust mite. Specific IgE (sIgE) to Der p, Dermatophagoides farinae, Lepidoglyphus destructor, Der p1, Der p 2, Der p 10 and Der p 23 were determined by ImmunoCAP. Statistical analysis (Mann Whitney U test) compared patients with rhinitis vs rhinitis and asthma; mild vsmoderate-to-severe rhinitis; North vs South. RESULTS Prevalence of sensitization was 98.2% to Der p, and 72.4%, 89.4%, 9.7% and 77% to Der p 1, Der p 2, Der p 10 and Der p 23, respectively. Corresponding median sIgE levelswere 8.56, 17.7, 0.01 and 3.95 kUA/L. sIgE to all allergens was higher in patients with moderate-to-severe rhinitis and rhinitis with asthma but not statistically significant (NSS). sIgE to Der p 2 was significantly higher in the South when compared with the North (p=0.0496). CONCLUSIONS sensitization to Der p is the most common in Portugal. Der p 2 had the highest prevalence and median sIgE levels. All sIgE to molecular components were higher in more symptomatic patients (NSS). sIgE to Der p 2 was higher in the South, which may be related to the warmer temperature and/or the larger sample size.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare a low-dose dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI protocol (LITE MRI) to standard-dosage using a dual-dose injection technique. METHODS 8 females with a total of 10 lesions with imaging features compatible with fibroadenoma were imaged using a dual-dose dynamic contrast-enhanced-MRI (DCE-MRI) technique. After pre-contrast scans, 15% of a standard dose of contrast was administered; approximately 10 min later, the remaining 85% of the standard dose was administered. Enhancement kinetic parameters, conspicuity and signal-to-noise ratio were measured quantitatively. RESULTS One lesion showed no enhancement in either DCE series. All nine of the enhancing lesions were visualized in both the low-dose and standard-dose images. While the (low-to-standard) ratio of contrast doses was roughly 0.18, this did not match the ratios of kinetic parameters. Lesion conspicuity and enhancement rate were both higher in the low-dose images, with (low-to-standard) ratios 1.5 ± 0.1 and 1.2 ± 0.4, respectively. The upper limit of enhancement (ratio 0.3 ± 0.1) and signal-to-noise ratio (ratio 0.5 ± 0.1) were higher in the standard-dose images, but less than expected based on the ratio of the doses. CONCLUSIONS This preliminary study demonstrates that LITE MRI has the potential to match standard DCE-MRI in the detection of enhancing lesions. Additionally, LITE MRI may enhance sensitivity to contrast media dynamics. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE Lower doses of MRI contrast media may be equally effective in the detection of breast lesions, and increase sensitivity to contrast media dynamics. LITE MRI may help increase screening compliance and long-term patient safety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mites are the most prevalent source of indoor allergens. The present study used a component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) approach to investigate the mite-specific IgE sensitization profile for Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Blomia tropicalis. We also assessed the performance of a commercially available CRD approach in patients with severe allergic rhinitis. METHODS We selected 63 consecutive patients with dual sensitization to D pteronyssinus and B tropicalis and persistent severe rhinitis according to the ARIA guidelines. We performed skin prick tests with standardized extracts and determined specific serum IgE to both mites, along with serum specific IgE to Der p 1, Der p 2, Der p 23, Der p 10, and Blo t 5. RESULTS Fifty-eight and 59 patients had positive sIgE to the whole extracts of D pteronyssinus and B tropicalis, respectively. While 91.67% of patients were sensitized to specific IgE to Der p 1, Der p 2, and/or Der p 23, specific IgE to Blo t 5 (≥0.3 ISU-E) was not detected in most of the serum samples (55%). CONCLUSIONS Although the combination panel of the commercially available major allergens Der p 1, Der p 2, and Der p 23 identified more than 90% of the D pteronyssinus-allergic patients, Blo t 5 performed somewhat poorly in those sensitized to B tropicalis. Improvements in CRD and further research concerning the prevalence and clinical relevance of serodominant allergens are needed to achieve a genuine molecular diagnosis, as well as patient-centered mite allergy-specific immunotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE We propose a novel methodology to integrate morphological and functional information of tumor-associated vessels to assist in the diagnosis of suspicious breast lesions. THEORY AND METHODS Ultrafast, fast, and high spatial resolution DCE-MRI data were acquired on 15 patients with suspicious breast lesions. Segmentation of the vasculature from the surrounding tissue was performed by applying a Hessian filter to the enhanced image to generate a map of the probability for each voxel to belong to a vessel. Summary measures were generated for vascular morphology, as well as the inputs and outputs of vessels physically connected to the tumor. The ultrafast DCE-MRI data was analyzed by a modified Tofts model to estimate the bolus arrival time, Ktrans (volume transfer coefficient), and vp (plasma volume fraction). The measures were compared between malignant and benign lesions via the Wilcoxon test, and then incorporated into a logistic ridge regression model to assess their combined diagnostic ability. RESULTS A total of 24 lesions were included in the study (13 malignant and 11 benign). The vessel count, Ktrans , and vp showed significant difference between malignant and benign lesions (P = 0.009, 0.034, and 0.010, area under curve [AUC] = 0.76, 0.63, and 0.70, respectively). The best multivariate logistic regression model for differentiation included the vessel count and bolus arrival time (AUC = 0.91). CONCLUSION This study provides preliminary evidence that combining quantitative characterization of morphological and functional features of breast vasculature may provide an accurate means to diagnose breast cancer.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES This study aimed to test high temporal resolution dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for different zones of the prostate and evaluate its performance in the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa). Determine whether the addition of ultrafast DCE-MRI improves the performance of multiparametric MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients (n = 20) with pathologically confirmed PCa underwent preoperative 3T MRI with T2-weighted, diffusion-weighted, and high temporal resolution (~2.2 seconds) DCE-MRI using gadoterate meglumine (Guerbet, Bloomington, IN) without an endorectal coil. DCE-MRI data were analyzed by fitting signal intensity with an empirical mathematical model to obtain parameters: percent signal enhancement, enhancement rate (α), washout rate (β), initial enhancement slope, and enhancement start time along with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and T2 values. Regions of interests were placed on sites of prostatectomy verified malignancy (n = 46) and normal tissue (n = 71) from different zones. RESULTS Cancer (α = 6.45 ± 4.71 s-1, β = 0.067 ± 0.042 s-1, slope = 3.78 ± 1.90 s-1) showed significantly (P <.05) faster signal enhancement and washout rates than normal tissue (α = 3.0 ± 2.1 s-1, β = 0.034 ± 0.050 s-1, slope = 1.9 ± 1.4 s-1), but showed similar percentage signal enhancement and enhancement start time. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed area under the curve for DCE parameters was comparable to ADC and T2 in the peripheral (DCE 0.67-0.82, ADC 0.80, T2 0.89) and transition zones (DCE 0.61-0.72, ADC 0.69, T2 0.75), but higher in the central zone (DCE 0.79-0.88, ADC 0.45, T2 0.45) and anterior fibromuscular stroma (DCE 0.86-0.89, ADC 0.35, T2 0.12). Importantly, combining DCE with ADC and T2 increased area under the curve by ~30%, further improving the diagnostic accuracy of PCa detection. CONCLUSION Quantitative parameters from empirical mathematical model fits to ultrafast DCE-MRI improve diagnosis of PCa. DCE-MRI with higher temporal resolution may capture clinically useful information for PCa diagnosis that would be missed by low temporal resolution DCE-MRI. This new information could improve the performance of multiparametric MRI in PCa detection.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of arterial input functions (AIFs) measured from dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI following a low dose of contrast media injection. The AIFs measured from DCE computed tomography (CT) were used as 'gold standard'. A total of twenty patients received CT and MRI scans on the same day. Patients received 120 ml Iohexol in DCE-CT and a low dose of (0.015 mM kg-1) of gadobenate dimeglumine in DCE-MRI. The AIFs were measured in the iliac artery and normalized to the CT and MRI contrast agent doses. To correct for different temporal resolution and sampling periods of CT and MRI, an empirical mathematical model (EMM) was used to fit the AIFs first. Then numerical AIFs (AIFCT and AIFMRI) were calculated based on fitting parameters. The AIFMRI was convolved with a 'contrast agent injection' function ([Formula: see text]) to correct for the difference between MRI and CT contrast agent injection times (~1.5 s versus 30 s). The results show that the EMMs accurately fitted AIFs measured from CT and MRI. There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between the maximum peak amplitude of AIFs from CT (22.1 ± 4.1 mM/dose) and MRI after convolution (22.3 ± 5.2 mM/dose). The shapes of the AIFCT and [Formula: see text] were very similar. Our results demonstrated that AIFs can be accurately measured by MRI following low dose contrast agent injection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are no studies on cross-reactivity between Salsola kali and Salsola imbricata pollens. The main goals of the present study were to compare the degree of the cross-reactivity between S kali and S imbricata and to compare the various allergenic components shared by S kali and S imbricata. METHODS erum samples were obtained from rhinitis patients with or without asthma living in Kuwait and presenting with a positive skin test result to S kali. SDS-PAGE/IgE Western blot and ELISA inhibition assay were performed. RESULTS The study population comprised 37 patients. The most frequent IgE proteins against S imbricata weighed around 12, 15, 18, 37, and 50+55 kDa. 2D electrophoresis revealed a correlation between S kali and S imbricata at 40, 60, and 75 kDa, with similar isoelectric points. ELISA inhibition revealed an Ag50 value of 1.7 μg/mL for S kali and 500.5 μg/mL for S imbricata when the solid phase was S kali and an Ag50 value of 1.4 μg/mL for S kali and 3.0 μg/mL for S imbricata when the solid phase was S imbricata. CONCLUSIONS ELISA inhibition revealed strong cross-reactivity between S kali and S imbricata. This finding might be clinically relevant for the efficacy of allergen-specific immunotherapy. We report, for the first time, the allergenic profile of S imbricata and potentially allergenic proteins for S kali and S imbricata.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been an increase in the prevalence of hypersensitivity to Anisakis simplex. There are fish parasites other than Anisakis simplex whose allergenicity has not yet been studied. OBJECTIVE To assess IgE hypersensitivity caused by fish parasite allergens in patients with gastro-allergic symptoms after consumption of fish, shellfish or cephalopods, compared with healthy subjects, pollen allergic individuals and children with digestive symptoms after eating marine food. METHODS We carried out in vivo tests (skin prick) and in vitro tests (specific IgE determination, Western blot) and component resolved diagnostics (CRD) using microarray analysis in all patients. RESULTS CRD better detected sensitisation to allergens from marine parasites than skin prick tests and determination of specific IgE by CAP. Sensitisation to Gymnorhynchus gigas was detected in 26% of patients measured by skin prick tests and 36% measured by IgE. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of hypersensitivity to marine parasite allergens other than Anisakis simplex should be studied, and the most appropriate technique for this is CRD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Amoxicillin (AX) is the ß-lactam most often involved in IgE-mediated reactions. Diagnosis is based mainly on skin testing, although sensitivity is not optimal. We produced a new AX derivative, amoxicilloyl-poly-L-lysine (APL), and analyzed its recognition of IgE using the passive histamine release test (pHRT). METHODS The study population comprised patients (n=19) with confirmed AX allergy and specific IgE to AX and controls (n=10) with good tolerance to AX. pHRT was performed using "IgE-stripped" blood from a single donor that was sensitized in vitro by patient sera and incubated with AX or APL. Histamine release was determined and expressed as nanograms of histamine released per milliliter of blood. RESULTS The clinical symptoms were anaphylaxis (n=9), urticaria (n=7), erythema (n=2), and nondefined immediate reactions (n=1). The median (IQR) time interval between reaction and study was 90 (60-240) days and between drug intake and development of symptoms 24 (10-60) minutes. The median sIgE level was 3.37 (0.95-5.89) kUA/L. The sensitivity of pHRT to APL was 79% and the specificity 100%, which were higher than data obtained with pHRT to AX (63% sensitivity and 90% specificity). There was a positive correlation between maximal histamine release levels obtained with AX and APL (r=0.63). CONCLUSIONS In patients with immediate hypersensitivity reactions to AX, APL showed higher sensitivity and specificity than the culprit drug, AX, when tested in vitro by pHRT. This indicates that APL can improve the in vitro diagnostic accuracy of allergic reactions to AX. Further assessment of skin testing is necessary.

Abstract
The leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally are cardiovascular diseases, and nanomedicine can provide many improvements including disease-specific targeting, early detection, and local delivery of diagnostic agents. To this end, we designed fibrin-binding, peptide amphiphile micelles (PAMs), achieved by incorporating the targeting peptide cysteine-arginine-glutamic acid-lysine-alanine (CREKA), with two types of amphiphilic molecules containing the gadoliniuim (Gd) chelator diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), DTPA-bis(stearylamide)(Gd), and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[(poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG))-2000]-DTPA(Gd) (DSPE-PEG2000-DTPA(Gd)). The material characteristics of the resulting nanoparticle diagnostic probes, clot-binding properties in vitro, and contrast enhancement and safety for dual, optical imaging-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were evaluated in the atherosclerotic mouse model. Transmission electron micrographs showed a homogenous population of spherical micelles for formulations containing DSPE-PEG2000-DTPA(Gd), whereas both spherical and cylindrical micelles were formed upon mixing DTPA-BSA(Gd) and CREKA amphiphiles. Clot-binding assays confirmed DSPE-PEG2000-DTPA(Gd)-based CREKA micelles targeted clots over 8-fold higher than nontargeting (NT) counterpart micelles, whereas no difference was found between CREKA and NT, DTPA-BSA(Gd) micelles. However, in vivo MRI and optical imaging studies of the aortas and hearts showed fibrin specificity was conferred by the peptide ligand without much difference between the nanoparticle formulations or shapes. Biodistribution studies confirmed that all micelles were cleared through both the reticuloendothelial system and renal clearance, and histology showed no signs of necrosis. In summary, these studies demonstrate the successful synthesis, and the molecular imaging capabilities of two types of CREKA-Gd PAMs for atherosclerosis. Moreover, we demonstrate the differences in micelle formulations and shapes and their outcomes in vitro versus in vivo for site-specific, diagnostic strategies, and provide the groundwork for the detection of thrombosis via contrast-enhancing agents and concurrent therapeutic delivery for theranostic applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heroin and its contaminants may be an important source of allergens in young people. We present a case of severe endophthalmitis in a patient that also suffered from anaphylactoid symptoms (hypotension, urticaria, glottic oedema) whenever he ingested lemon. METHODS Prick tests with a battery of 42 aeroallergens including fruits and citrus fruits (orange, mandarin, grapefruit and lemon) and specific IgE to these allergens were carried out. Immunodetection was performed using the patient's serum and the following allergens: lemon, Candida, Aspergillus, Penicillium and Alternaria recombinant Alt 1 (Laboratories Diater). RESULTS Skin tests were negative for Candida, Penicillium, Aspergillus and Cladosporium (ALK-Spain) as were specific IgE antibodies for CAP (Thermofisher, Sweden) and positive only for lemon and, doubtfully, to Candida. Specific IgE tests to pollen, arthropods, fungi, dander and foods were positive only for lemon (0.49kU/L). Serological study of fungi ruled out fungal infection at that time. The immunodetection showed that the patient's serum recognised a protein of approximately 25kDa of lemon peel, one of approximately 12-13kDa of Penicillium, and perfectly recognised Alt a 1. CONCLUSIONS Lemon surface can be contaminated by Candida and other fungi. In heroin addicts with positive skin tests for lemon, the possibility of these serious complications should be taken into account.

Abstract
BACKGORUND Food allergy is a rare disorder among breastfeeding babies. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to identify responsible allergens in human milk. METHODS We studied babies developing allergic symptoms at the time they were breastfeeding. Skin prick tests (SPT) were performed with breast milk and food allergens. Specific IgE was assessed and IgE Immunoblotting experiments with breast milk were carried out to identify food allergens. Clinical evolution was evaluated after a maternal free diet. RESULTS Five babies had confirmed breast milk allergy. Peanut, white egg and/or cow's milk were demonstrated as the hidden responsible allergens. No baby returned to develop symptoms once mother started a free diet. Three of these babies showed tolerance to other food allergens identified in human milk. CONCLUSION A maternal free diet should be recommended only if food allergy is confirmed in breastfed babies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fish is a potent food allergen. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that dogfish, a small shark, has low allergenicity in both its clinical tolerance as well as its molecular structure. METHODS We present a study of 34 paediatric patients with IgE-mediated immediate reactions after eating fish. The diagnosis of several fish allergies was demonstrated by skin prick techniques and determination of specific IgE, in all the cases excluding sensitisation to Anisakis simplex. Open oral challenge test was checked with dogfish. Analysis was by SDS-PAGE of dogfish and other fish (megrim, shark, hake, sole, cod, anchovy and tuna) and Western-blot with "pool" of patients polysensitised sera against extracts of dogfish and other fish, and ELISA - inhibition with the "pool" sera. RESULTS The prick-prick with raw dogfish was slightly positive in six patients, however cooked was negative in 34 cases. The specific IgE showed in the 34 cases class ≥2 for megrim, hake, sole, cod and anchovy, class 0 for tuna in 26 patients, class 0 for emperor in 18 patients and class 0 to Anisakis simplex in all cases. The IgE binding capacity for proteins of allergenic extracts of tested fish revealed, in immunoblotting, the absence of IgE-mediated recognition abstract dogfish by the "pool" of polysensitised patient sera. CONCLUSIONS Testing in vivo and in vitro demonstrated the low allergenicity of dogfish. Dogfish brings an alternative to eating fish in polysensitised patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) is a long-term treatment of respiratory allergy. OBJECTIVE To look for early predictors of the effectiveness of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus SIT. METHODS A prospective multi-centre study was carried out in Spain. Children with D. pteronyssinus rhinitis or asthma were invited to participate. The study was divided into times: T0 (recruitment); T1 (inclusion); T2 a-f (immunotherapy times) and T3 (the end of study). Efficacy of SIT was assessed by clinical scores, visual analogue scales (VAS) and lung function tests. We performed D. pteronyssinus skin tests at T1 and T3, and determined specific serum IgE, IgG4 and IL-10 at T1, T2f and T3. Data were analysed using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests, compared using Wilcoxon and Chi-square tests, and correlated to Spearman test. All tests had a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS Thirty-eight children completed the study. At T1 all had rhinitis and 34 also had asthma. At T3, 30 patients had improved, six experienced no changes and two worsened. Improvement was associated to FEV1/FVC and VAS improvement; to a reduction in D. pteronyssinus skin prick test; to a progressive increase in serum levels of D. pteronyssinus IgE, and D. pteronyssinus, Der p1 and Der p2 IgG4. IL-10 levels showed an early increase at T2f (the end of initial build-up immunotherapy phase), and then a reduction at T3 (the end of a year of immunotherapy). Improvement associated to an early increase in IL-10 and was correlated with VAS and specific IgG4 evolution.
