BACKGROUND The natural history of wheat allergy varies among different countries. OBJECTIVE To study the age of resolution from IgE-mediated wheat allergy and to define the predictors of wheat tolerance. METHODS Patients with a history of immediate reactions after wheat ingestion were enrolled. Skin prick test (SPT) and measurement of serum specific IgE (sIgE) to wheat and ω-5 gliadin were ...

Widyaratne, G. P. and Zijlstra, R. T. 2007. Nutritional value of wheat and corn distiller’s dried grain with solubles: Digestibility and digestible contents of energy, amino acids and phosphorus, nutrient excretion and growth performance of grower-finisher pigs. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 87: 103–114. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of distiller’s dried grains with solu...

background: cytomegalovirus (cmv), a problematic virus in solid organ transplant recipients (sotr) such as liver, can worsen overall mortality and transplant outcome, so its prevention and treatment is a key of success in such patients. this study is aimed to compare the efficacy of ganciclovir (gcv) and valganciclovir (vgc) for prevention and treatment of infection with cmv. materials and meth...

background & aim: st john's wort (hypericum perforatum l.) contains hypericin and hyperforin as the main components of the extract that binds with gaba and sigma opioid receptors. this herb has many pharmacological effects, including analgesic, sedative, soothing, antispasmodic, anticonvulsant, anti-depressant, and anti-bacteria. in this study examined the effect of two concentrations of hy...

Wheat is widely consumed all over India in various forms--flour, daliya, maida, suji and wheat bran. Very few cases of wheat induced urticaria have been reported. This may be due to unusual features of wheat related hypersensitivity. A 35 year old female presented to us with history of chronic urticaria and angioedema. History revealed correlation between wheat intake and urticaria episodes. Pr...

Background Wheat is one of the six most common foods causing allergy in children. Tests used in clinical practice to diagnose wheat allergy have limited value in predicting allergic reactions when eating wheat. A poor correlation between the outcome of oral wheat-challenges and the levels of IgE-antibodies (IgE-ab) to wheat has been observed. The wheat allergen ω-5 gliadin has been found to fac...

BACKGROUND Patients often report adverse reactions to wheat. Interpretation of sensitization to wheat pollen and flour with/without sensitization to grass pollen is a clinical problem. AIM We set out to determine the prevalence of wheat allergy in a birth cohort (10/11 year olds) and investigate the usefulness of performing skin prick tests (SPT), specific IgE tests and component resolved dia...

Triticum aestivum (bread wheat) is the most widely grown crop worldwide. In genetically predisposed individuals, wheat can cause specific immune responses. A food allergy to wheat is characterized by T helper type 2 activation which can result in immunoglobulin E (IgE) and non-IgE mediated reactions. IgE mediated reactions are immediate, are characterized by the presence of wheat-specific IgE a...

Winter wheat is one kind of important crop in China. It’s planting area is one key element to explain yield change. To obtain winter wheat planting area as soon as possible can provide scientific reference for our country’s making related policy. Basing on the cropping system in Shandong province, winter wheat is divided into two kinds “winter wheat sowed by machine-maize” and “people broadcast...

Abstract Crop yield improvement during the last decades has relied on increasing ratio of economic organ to total aboveground biomass, known as harvest index (HI). In most crop models, HI is set a parameter; this empirical approach does not consider that only depends plant genotype, but also affected by environment. An alternative simulate allocation mechanistically, in LPJ-GUESS model, which s...
