    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.

    Release of titanium particles from implants may induce clinically relevant hypersensitivity in patients who are chronically exposed. This article describes a 56-year-old woman with peri-implantitis; inflammation around a titanium implant. She experienced bone loss, pain and swelling around the implant and the teeth next to it were also affected. These teeth were removed and three titanium implants were inserted. Six months later, the patient complained of further issues. MELISA testing confirmed titanium hypersensitivity so the the implants were removed and five zirconia implants were placed. All symptoms were resolved.

    A Possible Relationship between Peri-Implantitis, Titanium Hypersensitivity, and External Tooth Resorption: Metal-Free Alternative to Titanium Implants

    www.hindawi.com

    Titanium dental implant surface does not remain unaltered but may corrode and release ions or particles which trigger soft and hard tissue damage. Titanium may induce clinically relevant hypersensitivity in patients chronically exposed. A 56-year-old female patient presented peri-implantitis around....

    Metal sensitivity is becoming more prevalent because of increasing environmental exposure.
    This case history describes the difficulties in diagnosing hypersensitivity to knee replacements in patients with painful and stiff TKA. They suggest first ruling out infection and then performing testing including lymphocyte transformation testing (LTT), like MELISA. This patient had no pre-operative history of skin reactions to metals but was found to have sensitivity to nickel in LTT. All the patient's symptoms were resolved after revision to a non-nickel containing implant. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7818633/?fbclid=IwAR2PFuqMlfQ9-q-xiW5Dczr7bN05pipBBTsF7AuMX0...

    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

    Too much lead in half of all coffee filters | tellerreport.com

    www.tellerreport.com

    Råd & Rön has tested 15 of Sweden's most common coffee filters. In nine of them, alarmingly high levels of lead have been found and only one filter survived completely from detectable levels.
