There is a need for selective and sensitive methods to detect the presence of food allergens at trace levels in highly processed food products. In this work, a combination of non-targeted and targeted proteomics approaches are used to illustrate the difficulties encountered in the detection of the major peanut allergens Ara h 1, Ara h 2 and Ara h 3 from a representative processed food matrix. S...

Bushmeat hunting is extensive in west and central Africa as both a means for subsistence and for commercial gain. Commercial hunting represents one of the primary threats to wildlife in the region, and confounding factors have made it challenging to examine how external factors influence the commercial bushmeat trade. Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea is a small island with large tracts of intact...

During Drosophila melanogaster heart development, a lumen forms between apical surfaces of contralateral cardioblasts (CBs). We show that Slit and its receptor Roundabout (Robo) are required at CB apical domains for lumen formation. Mislocalization of Slit outside the apical domain causes ectopic lumen formation and the mislocalization of cell junction proteins, E-cadherin (E-Cad) and Enabled, ...

Since 2015, tens of millions guns have entered the U.S. market. Using household survey data, we found that number firearms owned by adults increased from 265 million in 2015 to 326 2019. Over this period, proportion were handguns slightly, 42 44 percent, continuing a long-standing trend. Seventy percent pistols (102 million) and 30 revolvers (43 million); 5.7 stored cars. Sixty-three long rifle...

We describe two cases of intravascular embolization of shotgun pellets found distant to the entry site of penetrating firearm injury. The cases demonstrate antegrade embolization of a shotgun pellet from neck to right middle cerebral artery, and antegrade followed by retrograde venous embolization through the left lower limb to pelvis. Radiologists and Trauma Physicians should be aware that pos...

The human health impacts of lead have been known for millennia but the environmental ammunition only received attention during past 100 years. To a large extent United States provided leadership in identifying and researching these effects then spearheading campaigns to transition away from shotgun waterfowl hunting. However, appetite further federal has largely stalled U.S. except apparently l...
