________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract This study was performed to investigate the effects of different oils in the diets of laying quail on their performance, egg quality, serum lipids and fatty acid composition of egg yolk. One hundred and ninety two 12-wk old Japanese quail were allocated to eight groups with two replicates containing 12 qua...

We have read with great interest the comments on the studies recently published ‘‘Prevalence of parent-reported immediate hypersensitivity food allergy in Chilean schoolaged children’’1 and ‘‘Epidemiology of food allergy in Latin America’’.2 We are very grateful to the authors for the opportunity that our colleagues bring us to add some data. In Uberlândia, Brazil, we are finalising a cross-sec...

hazelnuts are usually propagated by suckers or layering. however, other methods of propagation have been tested with variable results. grafting is a method that has a few advantages such as fast multiplication rate, earlier fruiting and reducing sucker removal cost on specific rootstocks. unfortunately, grafting is difficult due to slow formation of callus in hazelnuts. here, we report the hypo...

BACKGROUND A high ratio of blank fruit in hazelnut (Corylus heterophylla Fisch) is a very common phenomenon that causes serious yield losses in northeast China. The development of blank fruit in the Corylus genus is known to be associated with embryo abortion. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms responsible for embryo abortion during the nut development stage. Genomic inform...

A randomly sampled, cross-sectional serology test-based survey was conducted in Lebanon to describe the pattern of food allergy among Lebanese population. The prevalence of specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) to food allergens was investigated in 20 laboratories in different regions of Lebanon by an immunoblot assay over a 1 year period. Clinical correlation was determined in two university hospita...

Structured lipids resembling human milk fat (HMF) enriched with omega-3 fatty acids were synthesized by enzymatic acidolysis reactions between tripalmitin, hazelnut oil fatty acids (FA), and omega-3 FA concentrate. Response surface methodology was used to model and optimize the incorporation of omega-3 FA and oleic acid into tripalmitin, in hexane, using immobilized sn-1,3-specific lipase, Lipo...

Results Of 943 ISAC tests, 852 showed sensitization to at least one component and were included for further analysis. Mean age was 33,4 years. The majority of patients in our population was poly-sensitized, with 66% recognizing more than ten components. The most recognized component was Bet v 1 (70%). The top 10 food allergens were: apple (Mal d 1; 65%), peach (Pru p 1; 63%), hazelnut (Cor a 1....

BACKGROUND ImmunoCAP ISAC 112, is a commercially available molecular allergy IgE multiplex test. Data on the comparison of this rather novel test with extract-based as well as molecular ImmunoCAP singleplex IgE tests is missing. OBJECTIVE To perform a comparison between the ISAC multiplex IgE assay and the ImmunoCAP singleplex test results. METHODS Serum samples of 101 adults with grass pol...
