METHODS A total of 175 patients were tested for serum sIgE against silkworm moth in addition to combinations of other allergens: Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farinae, Blomia tro...

Solid-state (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of the following intact plant tissues were recorded by the crosspolarization magic-angle spinning technique: celery (Apium graveolens L.) collenchyma; carob bean (Ceratonia siliqua L.), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), and nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus L.) endosperm; and lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus Lindl.) seed cotyledons. All th...

The literature on pediatric reflux can be divided into studies addressing clinically apparent reflux (vomiting or regurgitation) and reflux as measured by pH probe or other methods. Sodium alginate reduces vomiting and improves parents' assessment of symptoms (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, small randomized controlled trial [RCT]). Formula thickened with rice cereal decreases the number o...

in this research, seeds of iranian carob trees grown wild in kazeroon city (fars province) were used to extract iranian locust bean gum as a seed galactomannan. chemical composition, solubility, and rheological properties of crude and purified gums were investigated and compared with a commercial (sigma) locust bean gum (lbg) sample. chemical composition of the purified iranian lbg was similar ...

The origin and insecticide resistance status of Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) populations infesting canola, vegetables, forage brassicas and weeds has fundamental implications for management of the pest in Australia. Diamondback moth is considered a migratory species in the Northern Hemisphere, but although there is evidence that Diamondback moth moves en-masse throughout Australia in ...

The gypsy moth-Lymantria dispar (Linnaeus)-is a worldwide forest defoliator and is of two types: the European gypsy moth and the Asian gypsy moth. Because of multiple invasions of the Asian gypsy moth, the North American Plant Protection Organization officially approved Regional Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 33.
