Treatment Overview. Brace (orthotic) treatment for scoliosis is used to prevent spinal curve progression and to maintain the appearance of the back. The goal of brace treatment is to prevent the curve from getting worse. Bracing does not correct a curve.
Slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis. The slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis or SRS-A is a mixture of the leukotrienes LTC4, LTD4 and LTE4. Mast cells secrete it during the anaphylactic reaction, inducing inflammation. It can be found in basophils.
Anaphylaxis causes your immune system to release a flood of chemicals that can cause you to go into shock â your blood pressure drops suddenly and your airways narrow, blocking breathing. Signs and symptoms include a rapid, weak pulse; a skin rash; and nausea and vomiting. Common triggers include certain foods, some medications, insect venom and latex. Anaphylaxis requires an injection of epinephrine and a follow-up trip to an emergency room.
