Climate change and nutrition: creating a climate for nutrition security.

BACKGROUND Climate change further exacerbates the enormous existing burden of undernutrition. It affects food and nutrition security and undermines current efforts to reduce hunger and promote nutrition. Undernutrition in turn undermines climate resilience and the coping strategies of vulnerable populations. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this paper are to identify and undertake a cross-sectora...

An Heterophile Factor in Ragweed Pollen

1. There is serological evidence that ragweed pollen antigen contains a factor which causes an increased hemolysin titre for sheep cells, when injected into rabbits. 2. It remains questionable whether the antigen absorbs normal rabbit hemolysins. It does, however, absorb anti-ragweed hemolysins, as demonstrated by hemolysis inhibition test. 3. Dilution and lyophilization (Mudd-Flosdorf method) ...

BRIEF COMMUNICATION Parietaria pollen a new aeroallergen in the city of Valparaiso, Chile
