A Practical, Stepwise Approach to Peanut Oral Immunotherapy in Clinical Practice: Benefits and Risks
Food allergies are common, affecting 6-8% of the children in the United States. There is a significant burden on the quality of life of allergic children and their caregivers, due to multiple dietary, social and psychological restrictions. Peanut allergy affects approximately 2-5% of the school-age children. Despite the recommended dietary avoidance, reactions tend to occur […]
Treatment of Peanut Allergy
Multi-dimensional study of the oral microbiome, metabolite, and immunologic environment in peanut allergy
Background: The oral mucosa is the initial interface between food antigens, microbiota and mucosal immunity, yet little is known about oral host-environment dynamics in food allergy. Objective: To determine oral microbial, metabolic, and immunologic profiles associated with peanut allergy. Methods: We recruited 105 subjects (peanut allergic n=56, healthy subjects n=49) for salivary microbiome profiling using […]
Emerging developments in the forefront of peanut oral immunotherapy
Purpose of review: Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, progress continued in the field of peanut oral immunotherapy over the past 12 to 18 months. Of importance, the first oral immunotherapy product for the treatment of peanut allergy was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in January 2020. Recent findings: Suggested modifications to the practice […]
Parental Intentions Regarding Introduction of Common Food Allergens During Complimentary Feeding
Food allergy affects 5-6% of Irish children with 3-6% of preschool children affected. Common food allergens in preschool children are milk, egg and peanut while peanut, tree-nut, fish and shellfish allergies are more common in older children1. Recent studies such as LEAP2 and EAT3 reported that regular consumption of common allergy associated foods early in […]
Resveratrol promotes liver regeneration in drug-induced liver disease in mice
Studies suggest that the bioactive polyphenolic compound resveratrol (RESV, trans-isomer), found naturally in certain foods such as red grapes and peanuts, may be able to ameliorate liver damage. However, the effects and efficacy of long-term treatment with RESV remain unclear. Here, we used an acetaminophen (APAP; 400 mg/kg/d for 15 days) overdose model to induce […]
Studying the Evaluation Model of the Nutritional Quality of Edible Vegetable Oil Based on Dietary Nutrient Reference Intake
Edible vegetable oils can provide most of the fatty acids, vitamin E, and certain phytochemicals necessary in the daily human diet to facilitate the required physiological activities. However, there are many types of edible vegetable oils on the market, and evaluating their nutritional quality is a matter of significant interest to consumers and producers. Most […]
Optimization of deficit irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer management for peanut production in an arid region
Deficit irrigation (DI) has been emerging as an important technique for enhancing crop water productivity (WP). However, advantage of DI under varying nitrogen (N) application rates remains unclear. Field experiments were conducted during 2012-2014 to investigate the impacts of six irrigation levels[FI (full irrigation), DI10, DI20, DI30, DI40 and DI50, with irrigation amount of 100, […]
First Report of Macrophomina phaseolina Causing Charcoal Rot of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in Mexico
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is the third most important oilseed crop in the world. The cultivated area in Mexico is currently 52,046 ha with a production of 91,109 ton in 2018 (FAO, 2020). Puebla state ranks third in the national production with 9,313 ton (SIAP, 2020). In September 2019, typical symptoms of charcoal rot (Macrophomina […]
Peanut disease epidemiology under dynamic microclimate conditions and management practices in North Florida
Diverse field characteristics, weather patterns, and management practices can result in variable microclimates. The objective was to relate in-field microclimate conditions with peanut diseases and yield and determine the effect of irrigation and fungicides within these environments. Irrigation did not have a major impact on disease and yield. Stem rot (Athelia rolfsii) and early (Passalora […]
