Background: There is increasing evidence of cross‐reactivity between allergens of close or distant species. The A‐RISC (Allergens'–Relative Identity, Similarity and Cross‐reactivity) index helps evaluate the risk of theoretical cross‐reactivity between proteins of the same family among different species.

Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double‐flap technique is different from laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy in terms of preventing problems involving the small intestine and anaemia after surgery for proximal early gastric cancer. However, these procedures are comparable for other outcomes, even though they are opposing procedures.

Circulating cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) is not found in healthy subjects but is readily detected after thermal injury and may contribute to the risk of multiple organ failure. The authors hypothesized that a postburn reduction in DNase protein/enzyme activity could contribute to the increase in cfDNA after thermal injury.

ABSTRACT Humanized hapten‐binding IgGs were designed with an accessible cysteine close to their binding pockets, for specific covalent payload attachment. Individual analyses of known structures of digoxigenin (Dig)‐ and fluorescein (Fluo) binding antibodies and a new structure of a biotin (Biot)‐binder, revealed a “universal” coupling position (52+2 ...

Oxidative stress plays an important role in the induction of cell death and is associated with various pathologic disorders; therefore, the search for natural products that attenuate the effects produced by oxidant agents is greatly increased. Here, the protective effects of native lectin from Cratylia mollis seeds (pCramoll) and recombinant Cramoll 1 (

Socioeconomic drivers of wild meat consumption in the city of Iquitos, Peru
Abstract Wild meat represents a vital source of micro‐ and macronutrients for forest‐dwelling people; however, city dwellers with access to animal protein from different animals may also consume large amounts of wild meat as part of their customs and traditions, to diversify their diets, to maintain connections to their rural kin, and to access meat ...

Abstract Objectives In non‐industrialized and low‐income populations, adipose stores can serve as a valuable buffer against harsh conditions such as seasonal food scarcity. However, these reserves may incur costs due to adipocytes' production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines; inflammation is associated with increased risk for cardiometabolic diseases ...

Perceptions and reality in fisher coexistence with aquatic predators in the Peruvian Amazon
The perceptions and reality of ‘human–wildlife conflict’ are infrequently compared, but this relationship is key to determining how negative outcomes can be mitigated. We trained fishers to complete fishing registers to record damage to nets by six large aquatic piscivores (two caiman, two dolphins, two otters) in Amazonian Peru, and compared these ...
