Description: A high-molecular-weight polymeric elastomer derived from the milk juice (LATEX) of HEVEA brasiliensis and other trees and plants. It is a substance that can be stretched at room temperature to at least twice its original length and after releasing the stress, retract rapidly, and recover its original dimensions fully.

1.	Hypersensitivity (Allergy) 01/01/2001 - "However, the prevalence of hypersensitivity to latex rubber was lower than those reported from other studies. " 01/01/1995 - "We conducted a questionnaire study of immediate allergy to natural rubber gloves among 2,408 medical workers who had used rubber gloves at Kumamoto University Hospital and allied hospitals. " 11/01/2007 - "The rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis is the almost exclusive commercial source of natural rubber currently and alternative crops should be developed for several reasons, including: a disease risk to the rubber tree that could potentially decimate current production, a predicted shortage of natural rubber supply, increasing allergic reactions to rubber obtained from the Brazilian rubber tree and a general shift towards renewables. " 04/01/2007 - "The first two cases also showed allergic reactions to natural rubber gloves. " 07/01/2006 - "SUMMARY: In recent years, allergic reactions because of latex rubber dam and gloves have received more attention. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Asthma (Bronchial Asthma) 10/01/2006 - "In the asthma cases, the area of bronchial artery intima was related to duration of asthma (p < 0.05), and this increase was associated with smooth muscle proliferation, reduplication, and calcification of the elastica, but not with inflammatory cell infiltration. " 10/01/2009 - "Yamoa (ground bark of Funtumia elastica tree) is marketed and sold as a dietary supplement with anecdotal therapeutic effects in the treatment of asthma and hay fever. " 12/01/2005 - "RESULTS: Primary prevention has been effective for OA related to natural rubber latex, and may have reduced the incidence of diisocyanate-induced asthma. " 10/01/1995 - "OBJECTIVE: The purposes of this study were to investigate asthmatic responses induced by natural rubber latex and to assess the long-term respiratory consequences of latex-induced asthma after removal from exposure. " 03/01/2009 - "BACKGROUND: Natural rubber latex (NRL) has become as a major cause of occupational asthma (OA) in workers using NRL gloves. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	Vasculitis (Vasculitides) 03/01/2002 - "The gold standard of diagnosis of a vasculitis is a biopsy with hematoxylin staining and in additional van Gieson-elastica staining may be helpful. " 07/01/2002 - "RESULTS: The following specific histopathological features were evaluated in the SSc patients: duplication or disruption of the internal elastica in 5 (100%), medial hypertrophy in 5 (100%), adventitial changes in 3 (60%), connective tissue fibrosis in 1 (20%), and vasculitis in 1 (20%).

4.	Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever) 10/01/2009 - "Yamoa (ground bark of Funtumia elastica tree) is marketed and sold as a dietary supplement with anecdotal therapeutic effects in the treatment of asthma and hay fever. " 01/01/2009 - "This case was complicated with pollen-food allergy syndrome (PFAS) from melon and latex allergy (LA) to natural rubber latex (NRL) antigen and she had also had atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis and pollinosis.

5.	Latex Hypersensitivity (Latex Allergy) 03/01/2001 - "Numerous studies and documents have been recently produced on the topic of latex allergy but the unpredictable nature of the clinical reactions and the widespread use of natural rubber products in health care has led to incorrect use due to inadequate risk assessment. " 11/01/1999 - "Natural rubber latex hypersensitivity has been reported in 2.9 to 17% of health care workers in previously published studies. " 07/01/2004 - "Furthermore, it became evident that health care workers whose work environment involved frequent exposure to natural rubber products showed a higher incidence of latex allergy. " 07/01/2004 - "At first, we used questionnaires to collect information regarding the level of awareness of latex allergy as well as the incidence of clinical symptoms when using natural rubber products. " 01/01/2004 - "BACKGROUND: Although natural rubber latex hypersensitivity is considered as a major problem in adult, it may be still misdiagnosed in childhood.
