Prescription drug use in breastfeeding mothers and infant exposure: A register‐based cohort study
Abstract Aims Breast milk is the optimal infant nutrition; however, many infants may be exposed to prescription drugs if used by their mothers during breastfeeding. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and patterns of prescription drug use among breastfeeding mothers and to assess the availability of relative infant dose information for

Bayesian Stacked Parametric Survival with Frailty Components and Interval Censored Failure Times [PDF]
To better understand effects of exposure to food allergens, food challenge studies are designed to slowly increase the dose of an allergen delivered to allergic individuals until an objective reaction occurs. These dose-to-failure studies are used to determine acceptable intake levels and are analyzed using parametric failure time models.

Restoring Food System Resilience in a Turbulent World: Supply Chain Actors' Shared Responsibility
ABSTRACT Ecological and economic crises increasingly affect the long‐term resilience of the food supply chain. This qualitative study draws on semistructured interviews and public evidence to analyse the perspectives of British supply chain actors. Asking which pathways towards food system resilience arise and which forms of social and environmental ...

Measuring the Impact of Urban Street Trees on Air Quality and Respiratory Illness [PDF]
New streams of data enable us to associate physical objects with rich multi-dimensional data on the urban environment. This study presents how open data integration can contribute to deeper insights into urban ecology. We analyze street trees in New York City (NYC) with cross-domain data integration methods by combining crowd-sourced tree census data -

Abstract Objective To evaluate the 1‐year efficacy of subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in treating dust mite‐induced allergic rhinitis (AR) and establish objective biomarkers for efficacy monitoring. Methods Fifty‐nine AR patients underwent 1‐year SCIT. Subjective symptoms were assessed via total nasal symptom score (TNSS), combined symptom/medication

Mathematical Modelling of Allergy and Specific Immunotherapy: Th1-Th2-Treg Interactions [PDF]
Regulatory T cells (Treg) have recently been identified as playing a central role in allergy and during allergen-specific immunotherapy. We have extended our previous mathematical model describing the nonlinear dynamics of Th1-Th2 regulation by including Treg cells and their major cytokines.

Solution structure of a repeated unit of the ABA-1 nematode polyprotein allergen of ascaris reveals a novel fold and two discrete lipid-binding sites [PDF]
Parasitic nematode worms cause serious health problems in humans and other animals. They can induce allergic-type immune responses, which can be harmful but may at the same time protect against the infections. Allergens are proteins that trigger allergic

Abstract Gene expression biomarkers have the potential to identify genotoxic and non‐genotoxic carcinogens, providing opportunities for integrated testing and reducing animal use. In August 2022, an International Workshops on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT) workshop was held to critically review current methods to identify genotoxicants using ...

Detecting soybean and milk in dairy and soy products with post-PCR high resolution melting assays
We have developed and validated post-PCR (polymerase chain reaction) high resolution melting (HRM) based assays that allow identifying the presence of two major allergenic foods - soybean and bovine milk - in food products.
