OF all the methods of delaying the absorption of intramuscular penicillin, combination with procaine is at present foremost (Florey 1952). Procaine penicillin is most effective when the particles are smaller than 5 µ and are suspended in a peanut-oil medium with 2% (w/v) aluminium monostearate (Thomas et al. 1948). Emery et al. (1949) showed that in children a serum-penicillin level above...

1048 n engl j med 348;11 www.nejm.org march 13, 2003 exposed (e.g., natural or roasted peanuts rather than cooked or fried peanuts). 13 Küstner was allergic only to cooked fish, not to raw fish. Another report in this issue of the Journal, by Lack et al., 14 underscores the usefulness of the epidemiologic approach. They identified exposure to emollients containing peanut oil as a significant ri...

BACKGROUND To halt the increase in peanut allergy, we must determine how children become sensitized to peanut. High household peanut consumption used as an indirect marker of environmental peanut exposure is associated with the development of peanut allergy. OBJECTIVE We sought to validate a method to quantify environmental peanut exposure, to determine how peanut is transferred into the envi...

PURPOSE Clinical features of peanut allergy can range from localized to systemic reactions. Because peanut and birch pollen have cross-reactivity, peanut can lead to localized allergic reaction in Fagales pollen-sensitized oral allergy syndrome (OAS) patients without peanut sensitization per se. The purpose of this study was to discriminate true peanut food allergy from cross-reactive hypersens...

BACKGROUND Supplementation with long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) has been found to reduce the development of allergic disease. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of fish oil diets rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3; EPA) or docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3; DHA) in suppressing food allergic symptoms. METHODS Mice were fed a control diet (10...

the increasing cost of peanut production is a major concern in iran. therefore, developing the mechanization of peanut production is a necessity. in this regard, a three-phase delphi study was conducted to identify the promoting and deterring factors affecting peanut cultivation mechanization in guilan province, the main peanut-producing region in iran. after preliminary studies, 26 experts wer...

Drought is a serious environmental stress limiting growth and productivity in peanut and other crops. Nutrient uptake of peanut is reduced under drought condition, which reduces yield. The objectives of this study were to investigate nutrient uptake of peanut genotypes in response to drought and to estimate the relationship between nutrient uptake and peanut yield under different water regi...
