This study looked at whether a blood test called flow cytometry can accurately diagnose allergic reactions to muscle relaxants given during anesthesia. Researchers tested 129 adults who had a suspected allergic reaction during a past surgery. The goal was to see if the test could…

This study compared three FDA-cleared allergy skin test devices (AllerTest-10, Lincoln Multi-Test II, and Greer Skintestor OMNI) in 30 adults to see which is most accurate and least painful. Participants received histamine and glycerin controls on their skin, and researchers meas…
