Microfluidic origami nano-aptasensor for peanut allergen ara h1 detection.
In this study, an origami microfluidic electrochemical nano-aptasensor was developed for the rapid detection of the peanut allergen Ara h1. Specifically, the microfluidic aptasensor was fabricated through sequential folding of a piece of chromatography paper substrate patterned with microchannel and screen-printed electrodes. Aptamer-decorated black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) were electrodeposited onto the paper-based electrode surface as […]
The Risk Reduction of Accidental Exposure-Related Systemic Allergic Reactions Extrapolated Based on Food Challenge Data After 1 Year of Peanut Oral Immunotherapy.
Introduction: The phase 3 trial PALISADE, comparing peanut (Arachis hypogaea) allergen powder-dnfp (PTAH) oral immunotherapy versus placebo in peanut-allergic children, reported that a significantly higher percentage of PTAH-treated participants tolerated higher doses of peanut protein after 1 year of treatment. This study used PALISADE data to estimate the reduction in the risk of systemic allergic reaction […]
Research on the Structure of Peanut Allergen Protein Ara h1 Based on Aquaphotomics.
Peanut allergy is becoming a life-threatening disease that could induce severe allergic reactions in modern society, especially for children. The most promising method applied for deallergization is heating pretreatment. However, the mechanism from the view of spectroscopy has not been illustrated. In this study, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) combined with aquaphotomics was introduced to help us […]
Oleosin Cor a 15 is a novel allergen for Italian hazelnut allergic children.
Background. Hazelnut allergy, which is characterized by symptoms that range from mild to severe, is one of the most common allergies in children throughout Europe, and an accurate diagnosis of this allergy is therefore essential. However, lipophilic allergens, such as oleosins, are generally underrepresented in diagnostic tests. We therefore sought to characterize the IgE reactivity […]
Clinical predictors and outcomes of oral food challenges illustrate differences among individual tree nuts.
Background. Although allergy to tree nuts is often considered a single entity, there is heterogeneity in patient reactivity and immune response to different tree nuts. Objective. We sought to characterize tree nut oral food challenges (OFC) in a pediatric population performed at a single center over a 12-year period and determine differences in OFC outcome […]
Latest Developments in the Management of Nut Allergies.
Purpose of review. In this review, we sought to describe the most recent advances in the dietary and medical management of peanut and tree nut allergy, including selective introduction and immunotherapy. Recent findings. Dietary updates include changes to labeling laws, improved information sources, and new apps for buying foods in shops and overseas to better […]
Therapeutic Potential of Date Palm against Human Infertility: A Review.
Male and female infertility is a global major health problem. Approximately 15% of couples of a reproductive age are unable to achieve the desired pregnancy within 12 months, despite daily unprotected sexual intercourse, and about 10% of infertilities have no specific reason worldwide. Currently, many researchers are interested to investigate the use of natural remedies […]
Associations of total nut and peanut intakes with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a Japanese community: the Takayama study.
Numerous epidemiological studies have suggested that nut intake is associated with a reduced risk of mortality. Although diets and lifestyles differ by regions or races/ethnicities, few studies have investigated the associations among non-white, non-Western populations. We evaluated the associations of total nut and peanut intakes with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a population-based prospective cohort […]
