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.
If anaphylaxis occurs after injection of allergen-specific subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), a large local reaction often occurs. Place a tourniquet above the injection site and, after IM epinephrine is administered, inject up to 0.1 mL of epinephrine into the large local reaction site to slow absorption.
