    MELISA is a blood test for the diagnosis of metal allergy. It is used worldwide by healthcare professionals to determine whether a patient is hypersensitive to metals commonly used in dental restorations or medical implants. Further test applications include the diagnosis of Lyme disease.

    This study of healthcare workers (345 from 14 countries) found they are generally unaware of metal hypersensitivity and do not screen for it. This lack of awareness and screening can contribute to the underreporting of metal hypersensitivity reactions. The culminated impact is increased risk to patient safety which warrants changes in clinical practice. These changes include educating healthcare workers and patients about metal hypersensitivity,
    Encouragingly when made aware of the link between metal hypersensitivity and poor patient outcomes 80% of healthcare workers said they were now likely/very likely to incorporate screening questions about metal allergy into their clinical practice.

    Mmm coffee! Generally coffee in moderation is considered good for us, lowered stroke rates, decreased risk of diabetes, liver protection etc. But this report is concerned about the levels of lead found in coffee filter. You can read more about lead exposure from coffee beans, instant coffee and coffee machines www2.mst.dk/Udgiv/publications/2015/09/978-87-93352-66-7.pdf ... See MoreSee Less
