Certain Factors Affecting the Growth of Food Poisoning Micrococci

Factors affecting the development of food allergy.

Food allergy is an important health issue. The estimated prevalence among adults in Western Europe is thought to be between 1 and 2%, with the frequency in infants being greater (approximately 5%). Most confirmed food allergies are associated with a relatively limited range of produce, including cow's milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, fish and shellfish, although the prevalence of allergy ...

A study of certain factors affecting the growth of flor yeast.

Certain factors affecting the infrared spectra of selected microorganisms.

The use of infrared absorption spectra of bacteria as an aid to their identification seemed promising to Stevenson and Bolduan in 1952. Since then, Levine et al. (1953b) and Riddle et al. (1956) in the United States and Norris (1953) and Thomas and Greenstreet (1954) in England have come to similar conclusions. Inasmuch as these investigators worked primarily with animal pathogenic and enteric ...

Factors affecting bone growth.

Bone growth and development are products of the complex interactions of genetic and environmental factors. Longitudinal bone growth depends on the growth plate. The growth plate has 5 different zones-each with a different functional role-and is the final target organ for longitudinal growth. Bone length is affected by several systemic, local, and mechanical factors. All these regulation systems...

Factors affecting growth of FEV1.

There is an increasing awareness that also growth in FEV1 may be of importance to development of chronic obstructive lung disease in later life. This paper reviews current knowledge on factors in foetal and childhood life that may reduce lung growth. Passive smoking as well as malnutrition in foetal life is related to impaired lung function in later life. Birth weight is a risk factor to lung g...
