Sensitization to poultry meat, fish, and coconut in a multiple food allergic young boy

Arq Asma Alerg Imunol; 7 (3), 2023
Poultry meat allergy is rare and may present as primary or secondary, in the context of bird-egg syndrome. Chicken meat is responsible for most of the reactions. Cross-reactive allergens (parvalbumins, enolases, aldolases) between fish and chicken meat have been described. Coconut allergy is also rare. C...

The effect of coconut sugar on cariogenic traits in Streptococcus mutans

Aim: The consumption of foods rich in sugar is linked to several non-communicable diseases, including dental caries. Coconut sugar has systemic benefits due to its lower glycemic indexes (GI) than other table sugars. However, there is currently no data regarding its ca-riogenic potential. This study aime...

Identificación directa de microorganismos a partir de hemocultivos positivos utilizando espectrometría de masas (MALDI-TOF MS)

Resumen La espectrometría de masas (MALDI-TOF MS) permite la identificación de microorganismos directamente de las colonias en pocos minutos. En este estudio se ha desarrollado y evaluado un protocolo reducido para identificar microorganismos directamente de las botellas de hemocultivos positivos en 30...

An easy and robust method for the isolation of high quality RNA from coconut tissues

BACKGROUND: Coconut tissues consist of a complex network of polysaccharides, proteins, polyphenols, and lipids that can bind to nucleic acids and pose difficulty in isolation. Certainly, a vigorous method is required to isolate high quality and quantity of RNA from such tissues for the purpose of downstr...

Supplementation of lamb ewes with different protein sources in deferred marandu palisadegrass (Brachiaria brizantha cv. marandu) pasture

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different protein sources on the performance of lamb ewes and their offspring supplemented in deferred pasture. The treatments were the different protein sources: soybean meal, cotton cake, babassu cake and coconut cake. The ewes were weighed and ...

Diseño innovador para la obtención y caracterización de un bioplástico utilizando como materia base la fibra de la cáscara de coco y papaya

Los plásticos se producen a partir del petróleo. Estos polímeros perduran en la naturaleza por largos períodos de tiempo y, por tanto, se acumulan, generando así grandes cantidades de residuos sólidos. El objetivo principal de esta investigación es producir, a escala de laboratorio, un bioplástic...

Ultrasound dynamics of gastric content volumes after the ingestion of coconut water or a meat sandwich. A randomized controlled crossover study in healthy volunteers

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 68 (6), 2018
Abstract Background: Adequate preoperative fasting is critical in preventing pulmonary aspiration of gastric content. We proposed to study the sonographic gastric content dynamics after the ingestion of liquid or solid food in healthy volunteers and confront it with current guidelines for preoperative f...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons content and fatty acids profile in coconut, safflower, evening primrose and linseed oils

Food Chem; 245 (798-805), 2018
This study aimed at evaluating the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contamination of commercial vegetable oils and examined the identity through the fatty acids profiles. Coconut, safflower, evening primrose, and linseed oils marketed in São Paulo (Brazil) were investigated totaling 69 samples. F...

Tratamiento de agua contaminada con metales pesados, utilizando como medios filtrantes bio-resina intercambiadora de cationes de la cáscara y mata de guineo y carbón activado de endocarpo de coco

En este trabajo de desarrollo experimental, la Escuela de Ingeniería Química de ITCA-FEPADE se propuso comprobar la efectividad de las cáscaras y pseudotallo de guineo y el endocarpo de coco, previamente tratados, para remover la contaminación por metales pesados en una muestra de agua. Para tal obje...
