Improved Straw Decomposition Products Promote Peanut Growth by Changing Soil Chemical Properties and Microbial Diversity
The ameliorative effects of straw decomposition products on soil acidification have been extensively studied. However, the impact of chemically treated straw decomposition products on crop productivity and the underlying microbial mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of two dosages of Ca(OH)2-treated straw decomposition products of peanuts on red soil acidity, fertility, […]
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single Ascending Dose Study With Single Blind Sentinel Period to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of IGNX001 in Peanut-Allergic Participants
The goal of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of IGNX001 in peanut-allergic adults and older Adolescents. https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06331728
Successful introduction of peanut in sensitized infants with reported reactions at home
Background and objective: Previous studies have shown efficacy of early introduction of peanut to prevent peanut allergy. It is currently unknown which diagnostic pathway is optimal after parental-reported reactions to peanut at home after early introduction. Methods: The PeanutNL cohort study included high-risk infants that were referred for early introduction of peanut. A subgroup of […]
Tolerance of peanuts and tree nuts in Spanish children with exclusive sensitization to lipid transfer proteins
Background: Allergy to peanuts and tree nuts is a common cause of food allergy in Spain, with lipid transfer proteins (LTP) being the most frequently recognized panallergen. LTP sensitization often leads to multiple food group sensitivities, resulting in overly restrictive diets that hinder patient’s quality of life. This study aimed to assess the tolerance of […]
Prevalence and Determinants of Food Allergy in the Era of Early Allergen Introduction: the EarlyNuts Population-Based Study
Background: Infant feeding guidelines in Australia changed in 2016 to recommend introducing common allergy-causing foods by age 1 year to prevent food allergy. Although most Australian infants now eat peanut and egg by age 6 months, some still develop food allergy despite the early introduction of allergens. Objectives: To describe the prevalence of food allergy […]
Exploring the bioactive potential of dried fruit by-products: a focus on hazelnut, peanut, and almond teguments and shells
Dried fruits are renowned for their nutritional value, particularly their seeds. However, their skins, shells, and hulls also hold significant nutritional and commercial potential, yet remain largely unexplored for their bioactive compounds. This study examines the teguments and shells of three types of dried fruits – hazelnut, peanut, and two almond varieties. Ethanol extracts from […]
Effects of energy-restricted diets with or without nuts on weight, body composition and glycaemic control in adults: a scoping review
Energy-restricted (ER) diets promote weight loss and improve body composition and glycaemic control. Nut consumption also improves these parameters. However, less is known about the combined benefit of these two strategies. This scoping review implemented a systematic search of Medline, Embase and Scopus to identify randomised controlled trials evaluating the effect of ER diets with […]
Purified Clinoptilolite-Tuff as an Efficient Sorbent for Food-Derived Peanut Allergens
The avoidance of allergen intake is crucial for persons affected by peanut allergy; however, the cross-contamination of food is common and leads to unpredictable consequences after the consumption of supposedly “safe” food. The aim of the present study was to eliminate harmful traces of peanut allergens from food using purified clinoptilolite-tuff (PCT)-a specially processed zeolite […]
Trends in Childhood Anaphylaxis in Singapore: 2015-2022
Background: There has been limited data regarding the incidence of anaphylaxis in Asia. We aim to describe patterns in patient characteristics, triggers and clinical presentation of childhood anaphylaxis in Singapore. Methods: This was a retrospective review of emergency electronic medical records of children with anaphylaxis. Patients with the allergy-related diagnoses of anaphylaxis, angioedema, allergy and […]
Trends of peanut-induced anaphylaxis rates before and after the 2017 early peanut introduction guidelines in Montreal, Canada
Background: Food allergies, particularly peanut, represent the predominant cause of anaphylaxis. While early allergen introduction has emerged as a potential preventive strategy, the precise impact of recent guidelines on peanut-induced anaphylaxis rates in Canada remains unclear. Objective: To assess the impact of the 2017 Addendum Guidelines for the Prevention of Peanut Allergy on peanut-induced anaphylaxis […]
