We report a case of a very fast and intriguing decrease in IgE concentrations after exclusion from the diet of any CM lysate in an unusual clinical presentation of cow's milk allergy in an infant. Analysis of IgE kinetics after allergen elimination suggests rapid cessation of IgE biosynthesis and a short IgE half-life.

This animal simulation model, named e-Cow, represents a single dairy cow at grazing. The model integrates algorithms from three previously published models: a model that predicts herbage dry matter (DM) intake by grazing dairy cows, a mammary gland model that predicts potential milk yield and a body lipid model that predicts genetically driven live weight (LW) and body condition score (BCS). Bo...

Objective: The pathogenesis of cerebral white matter lesion (WML) may be associated with chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. Incomplete circle of Willis (CoW) and cerebral artery stenosis (CAS) may contribute to chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. This study aimed to investigate whether incomplete CoW and CAS were associated with WML by a prospective study. Methods: 102 patients were enrolled in this s...

The effects of cabbage waste (CW) addition on methane production in cow dung and corn straw co-fermentation systems were investigated. Four experimental groups, each containing 55 g of substrate, were set up as follows: 100% cow dung (C); 36% cabbage and 64% cow dung (CC); 36% straw and 64% cow dung (SC); and 18% cabbage, 18% straw, and 64% cow dung (CSC). After seven days of fermentation, the ...

The UK dairy sector has undergone considerable structural change in recent years, with a decrease in the number of producers accompanied by an increased average herd size and increased concentrate use and milk yields. One of the key drivers to producers remaining in the industry is the profitability of their herds. The current paper adopts a holistic approach to decomposing the variation in dai...

The nucleotide sequences of the cow &2 and a4 globin genes were determined. The sequences were 95% identical. These genes arose via a four-gene block duplication that also gave rise to the bovine fetal (y) and adult (p) genes. Their deduced amino acid sequences are unlike any previously reported fetal or adult globins; rather, comparison to other mammalian globin genes indicates that they are e...
