A randomized controlled trial with a Shohada-e-Tajrish Hospital, crossover design was performed on 24 patients in whom other Shaheed Beheshti Medical etiologic factors of pruritus had been ruled out. They were assigned University, Tehran, Iran into 2 groups and received either placebo or oral doxepin, 10 mg, 3Urology and Nephrology Research Center, Shaheed twice a day for 1 week.

Antihistamine Therapy in Allergic Rhinitis
CLINICAL REVIEW Antihistamine Therapy in Allergic Rhinitis Paul R. Tarnasky, MD, and Paul P. Van Arsdel, Jr, MD Seattle, Washington Allergic rhinitis is a common disorder that is associated with a high incidence of mor bidity and considerable costs. The symptoms of allergic rhinitis are primarily depen dent upon the tissue effects of histamine. Antihistamines are the mainstay of therapy for allergic rhinitis. Recently, a second generation of antihistamines has become available. These agents lack the adverse effect of sedation, which is commonly associated with older antihistamines. Current practice of antihistamine therapy in allergic rhinitis often involves random selection among the various agents. Based upon the available clinical trials, chlorpheniramine appears to be the most reasonable initial antihistaminic agent. A nonsedating antihis tamine should be used initially if a patient is involved in activities where drowsiness is dangerous. In this comprehensive review of allergic rhinitis and its treatment, the cur rent as well as future options in antihistamine pharmacotherapy are emphasized.

The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Professor emeritus George H. Caughey (University of California, San Francisco). Abstract Magnúsdóttir, E. I. 2019. Peripheral Regulation of Pain and Itch. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1596. 71 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0746-6. Pain and itch are diverse sensory modalities, transmitted by the somatosensory nervous system. Stimuli such as heat, cold, mechanical pain and itch can be transmitted by different neuronal populations, which show considerable overlap with regards to sensory activation. Moreover, the immune and nervous systems can be involved in extensive crosstalk in the periphery when reacting to these stimuli. With recent advances in genetic engineering, we now have the possibility to study the contribution of distinct neuron types, neurotransmitters and other mediators in vivo by using gene knock-out mice. The neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and the ion channel transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) have both been implicated in pain and itch transmission. In Paper I, the Cre- LoxP system was used to specifically remove CGRPα from the primary afferent population that expresses TRPV1. -
