2CRITICAL EVALUATION ASSIGNMENTIntroduction:Skin wheal disease manifests as a discolored patch of skin that appears elevated andchanges shape; and allergen induced response of skin wheal responses are the most frequentcontributing factor behind the onset of this disease. Now it has been observed that the stressplays a crucial role in the exacerbation of the allergen induced skin wheal responses, which isassociated with the increasing levels of neuropeptides and neurotrophins. The stress triggers themast cell degranulation with the aid of neurotrophines and nerve growth factors (Kimata, 2004).Hence a reduction in the level of stress can significantly improve the skin wheal responses in thepatient concerned. Kissing or any other emotion of happiness has been identified as key reducingfactor of allergic skin wheal responses. This assignment will explore the article by HajimeKimata and will attempt to critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the article inexplaining the impact of kissing on reducing skin wheal responses. Summary: The allergic responses can be considered the most conspicuous indicator of the impactthat stress can very easily aggravate. This research study explores the reduction in the allergicimpact of stress by happiness generated by kissing, judging the reduction of plasma neurotrophinlevels (Kimata, 2003). The population sampling included 30 patients segregated into threegroups each, normal subjects, patients with allergic rhinitis(AR), and patients with atopicdermatitis(AD). All the subjects with either AR or AD were extremely allergic to house dustmite(HDM) and Japanese cedar pollen(JCP). The study revealed the fact that the kissing activityreduced the extent of skin wheal responses induced by only HDM and JCP, and decreased thelevel of different neurotrophins in the blood of the subjects who either had AR or AD (Kimata,
