Bifidobacterium longum and Lactobacillus plantarum alleviate house dust mite allergen-induced allergic rhinitis by regulating IL-4, IL-5, and IL-10 expression

open access: yesFood and Agricultural Immunology, 2019
We examined the effects of Bifidobacterium longum IM55, Lactobacillus plantarum IM76, and their (1:1 and 1:9) mixtures (PMs) on house dust mite allergen extract (HDMA)-induced allergic rhinitis (AR) in mice.

Penicillin-binding protein PBP2a provides variable levels of protection toward different β-lactams in Staphylococcus aureus RN4220. [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiologyopen, 2020
PBP2a confers resistance to β‐lactam antibiotics in Staphylococcus aureus. We expressed the gene encoding PBP2a in a β‐lactam sensitive strain of S. aureus. We found that the resistance level conferred by PBP2a varies considerably between β‐lactams and between single cells in a population.

Comparison of Involuntary and Volitional Responses to Pitch-Shifted Auditory Feedback: Evidence for Tone Speakers' Flexibility to Switch Between Opposing and Following Responses.

open access: yesJournal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research, 2022
PURPOSE Our audio-vocal system involves a negative feedback system that functions to correct for fundamental frequency (f 0) errors in production. Therefore, automatic and opposing responses appear when an unexpected change in voice pitch is present in ...

Immunoglobulin E‐specific allergens against leaf in serum of dogs with clinical features of grass leaf allergy

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 393-403, October 2023., 2023
Background – Grass leaf has been suspected to cause immunoglobulin (Ig)E‐mediated immediate hypersensitivity reactions both in humans and in dogs. However, most studies in this area are case control studies without in vitro data showing the involvement of IgE in the reaction.

Will I love my second baby as much as my first? Prevalence and psychosocial correlates of maternal‐fetal relationship anxiety for second‐time mothers

open access: yesInfant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 541-553, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Most mothers have more than one child. Second‐time mothers may worry about whether they will love the second baby as much as their first child. The current study examined mothers’ maternal‐fetal relationship anxiety (MFRA) to their second baby, the prediction of mother‐infant bonding (MIB) and infant‐mother attachment security post‐partum, and

Efficacy of subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy in atopic dogs: A retrospective study of 664 cases

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 321-e75, August 2022., 2022
Background –Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is an allergic skin disease affecting approximately 10% of dogs. Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is currently the only treatment option able to induce tolerance to the causative allergens. Objective – To retrospectively establish the efficacy of AIT in atopic dogs.

Brachycephaly in French bulldogs and pugs is associated with narrow ear canals

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 214-e60, June 2022., 2022
Background Brachycephalic dog breeds have multiple skull malformations which may lead to anatomical changes in the external auditory canal. It is our frequent observation that in the otoscopic examination of the external ear in these breeds we are unable to visualise the tympanic membrane as a consequence of extreme narrowing of the proximal ear canal.

Influence of hospital size on antimicrobial resistance and advantages of restricting antimicrobial use based on cumulative antibiograms in dogs with Staphylococcus pseudintermedius infections in Japan

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 668-e178, December 2021., 2021
Background Antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (SP) and the prevalence of meticillin‐resistant SP (MRSP) is increasing in dogs worldwide. Objectives To evaluate the influence of hospital size on antimicrobial resistance of SP and whether restricted use of antimicrobials based on antibiograms could reduce the identification of ...

Whole genome sequencing and de novo assembly of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius: a pangenome approach to unravelling pathogenesis of canine pyoderma

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 654-663, December 2021., 2021
Background Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is the main aetiological agent of canine pyoderma. Whole genome sequencing is the most comprehensive way of obtaining relevant genomic information about micro‐organisms. Hypothesis/Objectives Oxford Nanopore technology enables quality sequencing and de novo assembly of the whole genome of S.

Enhancing parental reflective functioning through early dyadic interventions: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesInfant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 21-34, January/February 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT Parental reflective functioning (PRF) is an important predictor of infant attachment, and interventions that target parent–infant/toddler dyads who are experiencing significant problems have the potential to improve PRF. A range of dyadic interventions have been developed over the past two decades, some of which explicitly target PRF as part ...
