Allergic Reaction
Allergic reaction is an exaggerated sensitivity (hypersensitivity) to specific compounds called allergens. It occurs for the reason of an abnormal response of the immune system to common substances harmless in a majority of people. Allergic reaction is observed at the contact of the skin, eyes, nose, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract with an irritant, or as a result of injections.
There are four types of allergic reactions I, II, III, and IV. Type I, II, and III are immediate reactions, type IV is a delayed reaction.
Type I or anaphylactic reactions are mediated by IgE proteins. These are allergic rhinitis, allergic dermatitis, food allergies, bronchial asthma, allergic conjunctivitis, anaphylaxis. In response to a certain trigger, the body produces IgE protein or immunoglobulin E. IgE molecules bind with the allergen molecules, as a result of this reaction the special chemicals like histamine are released and cause inflammatory symptoms. Common symptoms of allergic reactions include rashes, red and watery eyes, sneezing, hives, itching, nasal blockage, cough, wheezing, abnormal breathing sounds, anxiety, nausea or vomiting, swelling of the face, eyes, or nose mucous membrane. These reactions are caused by plants, pollen, foods, animal dander, insect bites, medications, and others. Typically, the first facing with allergen isn't dangerous but the later repetitive impact can trigger the more serious response.
Type II or cytotoxic reactions are mediated by IgG and IgM antibodies. They damage cells by activating a complement system of immunity. They are observed at the autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune thrombocytopenia, autoimmune neutropenia.
Type III or immunocomplex reactions are also mediated by IgG and IgM antibodies. At their reaction with the allergen, the immunocomplexes are formed. This allergy type is common for lupus, Arthus reaction, serum sickness.
Type IV or cell-mediated reactions occur after 24 hours of exposure. For example, these are skin reactions appearing as a result of sensitivity to some metals, jewelry, latex.
Example 1. Allergic Reaction
Allergic reactions are incredibly common today and can have different degrees of severity. They can occur in a mild or severe and life-threatening form and concern both a small area of the body and the whole body. For example, a rash or redness on the face, hands, or other parts of the body is considered as a mild form of an allergic reaction. The time of appearing an allergic reaction as a response to some allergen exposure can also differ. Allergic reactions may occur both within seconds or minutes after exposure or after several hours. The most severe kind is called anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock. It is a sudden reaction taking place within a few minutes of exposure and requiring immediate medical help.

Any information system receives data flows from external sources. In order to visualize them there is a list of data flow diagram symbols that describes how the system components cooperate. If you want to create a data flow diagram, ConceptDraw DIAGRAM Solution Park has DFD Library that contains both Yourdon and Gane-Sarson notations.
This figure shows the content of vector libraries, delivered with ConceptDraw solution for data flow diagram (DFD). There are three libraries composed from about 50 vector objects used to make data flow diagrams.
They include a complete set of objects utilized by Yourdon-Coad and Gane-Sarson notations - two primary notations that are apply for data flow diagramming. Also, one can discover additional "Data flow diagram (DFD)" library that provides a data flow diagram elements for designing level 1 and context-level data flow diagrams.

There are many ways to define the flow of information within a system. Structured-systems analysis method often uses data flow diagrams to show data flow, data storages and data processing visualization. These diagrams are easy to develop and quite useful.
Here is a dataflow diagram presenting an example of the manufacturing process flow. The oval process shapes represent a process that controls data within the current system. The process may produce data or make some action based on data. Data flows are represented by lines. They show the movement of information through the system. The direction of the data flow is depicted by the arrow. The external entities are shown by rectangles. They represent the external entities interacting with the system. The data store objects (unclosed rectangles) are used to show data bases participating in a process flow.

When we think about programming, we usually imagine sleepless nights spent on writing kilobytes of code. However, from another point of view, Software development with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM makes a programmer's life endlessly easier. This tool is unique to fulfill all your needs in short period of time.
Over the recent years object-oriented methodology has become more and more widespread. Thanks to this methodology developers manage to deal with growing complexity of applications. More and more programs are written in such programming languages as C++, Java, Visual Basic and Object Pascal. However, the complexity of the designed systems imposes extended requirements as to design of graphic documentation. ConceptDraw possesses powerful tools for designing of technical documentation for object-oriented projects. The libraries included in the package allow to easily draw class hierarchies, object hierarchies and diagrams of data flows with the use of the most popular notations, including UML and Booch notations. And the library for projecting COM-interfaces will spare developers of ActiveX-servers a headache.

When we start to speak about databases, we must always mention database structure visualization. One of the most common ways to do it is to create an entity relationship diagram, and to put appropriate symbols on it. It is important either for database projecting and for its' future maintenance.
Entity Relationship Diagram describes data elements and their relationships within a database. There are a set of special symbols that depict each element of an entity relationship diagram. Entities - represents some stable components such as supplier, employee, invoice, client, etc. Relation symbols show how the entities interact. Attributes define characteristics of the relationships. Attributes can be one-to-one or many-to-many. Physical symbols is used in the physical models. They represent items such as fields, tables, types and keys. ERD physical symbols are the building material for the database. Notation lines are used to illustrate the relationships. The most common method is Crow’s Feet notation. You can use ConceptDraw Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution to represent a database using the Entity-Relationship model.
