Fecal assays detect hypersensitivity to cow's milk protein and gluten in adults with irritable bowel syndrome.
2011
Background & Aims Some patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms suffer from food hypersensitivity (FH); their symptoms improve when they are placed on elimination diets. No assays identify patients with FH with satisfactory levels of sensitivity. We determined the frequency of FH among patients with symptoms of IBS and the ability of fecal assays for tryptase, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), or calprotectin to diagnose FH. Methods The study included 160 patients with IBS, 40 patients with other gastrointestinal diseases, and 50 healthy individuals (controls). At the start of the study, patients completed a symptom severity questionnaire, fecal samples were assayed, and …
A Novel Loss-of-Function Mutation (N48K) in the PTEN Gene in a Spanish Patient with Cowden Disease
2003
Cowden disease, also known as multiple hamartoma syndrome, is a rare disease inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which confers a high risk of developing breast and thyroid carcinomas. Mutations in PTEN, a tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 10q23, have been identified in patients with Cowden disease. In this work, the direct sequencing of all coding regions of the PTEN gene led us to the identification of N48K, a new germline PTEN missense mutation, in a patient suffering from Cowden disease. The genetic analysis of 200 chromosomes from healthy individuals revealed that the variant was not common in our population. Moreover, by functional analysis we found that the ability o…
Epileptic seizures as a manifestation of cow's milk allergy: a studied relationship and description of our pediatric experience
2014
Adverse reactions after ingestion of cow's milk proteins can occur at any age, from birth and even amongst exclusively breast-fed infants, although not all of these are hypersensitivity reactions. The most common presentations related to cow's milk protein allergy are skin reactions, failure to thrive, anaphylaxis as well as gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders. In addition, several cases of cow's milk protein allergy in the literature have documented neurological involvement, manifesting with convulsive seizures in children. This may be due to CNS spread of a peripheral inflammatory response. Furthermore, there is evidence that pro-inflammatory cytokines are responsible for disruptin…
Human sweat odour conjugates in human milk, colostrum and amniotic fluid
2012
International audience; Using ultra performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry we identified for the first time glutamine-N-alpha-conjugates of the fatty acids (E)/(Z)-3-methylhex-2-enoic acid and (R)/(S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylhexanoic acid as well as cysteinylglycine-S-conjugates of (R)/(S)-3-methyl-3-sulphanylhexan-1-ol and (R)/(S)-3-sulphanylhexan-1-ol as constituents of human milk and colostrum. The glutamine-N-alpha-conjugates were detected also in human amniotic fluids. The mean values of glutamine-N-alpha-conjugate of (R)/(S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylhexanoic acid were highest in colostrums with a range of <0.1-382 mu g/kg, followed by the mature human milk with values from <0.1 to 39.…
Pottery decoration in the Neolithic of Kaf Taht el-Ghar (Tetouan, Morocco). AGRIWESTMED Works 2012
2021
Presentamos el estudio de los restos cerámicos de la fase neolítica de Kaf Taht el-Ghar (Mechrouha, Tetuán, Marruecos), enfocado principalmente en el análisis de técnicas y patrones decorativos. Ello cuenta con el interés añadido de corresponder, en su fase antigua, a las cerámicas asociadas a las primeras evidencias de agricultura y ganadería en el Magreb Occidental, encuadradas en el tercer cuarto del VI milenio cal AC. En dichas decoraciones dominan impresiones variadas, en particular las realizadas con concha estriada y lisa, peine y de cypraea. El uso de tales técnicas podría incluir estas primeras producciones cerámicas dentro del mundo impresso-cardial de la Europa mediterránea centr…

Towards asteroseismology of core-collapse supernovae with gravitational-wave observations – I. Cowling approximation
2017
Gravitational waves from core-collapse supernovae are produced by the excitation of different oscillation modes in the protoneutron star (PNS) and its surroundings, including the shock. In this work we study the relationship between the post-bounce oscillation spectrum of the PNS–shock system and the characteristic frequencies observed in gravitational-wave signals from core-collapse simulations. This is a fundamental first step in order to develop a procedure to infer astrophysical parameters of the PNS formed in core-collapse supernovae. Our method combines information from the oscillation spectrum of the PNS, obtained through linear perturbation analysis in general relativity of a backgr…
Volatiles from Maruca vitrata (Lepidoptera, Crambidae) host plants influence olfactory responses of the parasitoid Therophilus javanus (Hymenoptera, …
2019
Plants damaged by herbivores are known to release odors attracting parasitoids. However, there is currently no information how leguminous plants damaged by the pod borer Maruca vitrata attract the exotic larval parasitoid Therophilus javanus, which was imported into Benin from the putative area of origin of the pod borer in tropical Asia for assessing its potential as a biological control agent. In this study, we used Y-tube olfactometer bioassays to investigate T. javanus response towards odors emitted by four M. vitrata-damaged host plants: cowpea Vigna unguiculata, the most important cultivated host, and the naturally occurring legumes Lonchocarpus sericeus, Sesbania rostrata and Tephros…
Kryzys parlamentaryzmu a majowy zamach stanu w aspekcie bezpieczeństwa narodowego
2017
Demokracja parlamentarna nie jest typem ustroju, który może sprawnie i stabilnie funkcjonować bez solidnych podstaw ekonomicznych i społecznych, ugruntowanej i opartej na kompromisie tradycji uprawiania polityki oraz postaw obywatelskich pośród polityków i społeczeństwa. Porzucenie demokracji czyjej częściowe ograniczenie, aczkolwiek usprawiedliwione ideą racji stanu w celu wzmocnienia szeroko pojętego bezpieczeństwa narodowego, nie musi okazać się właściwym lekarstwem na problemy, z jakimi boryka się państwo. Kryzys parlamentaryzmu i przewrót majowy, zamykają okres, w którym sejm stanowił organ ostatecznie decydujący o składzie i istnieniu kolejnych rządów. Formalną zmianę we wzajemnym usy…
Spuścizna pisarska biskupa Franciszka Jopa (1897-1976)
2016
Obchodzona w 2016 r. 40. rocznica śmierci bpa Franciszka Jopa skłoniła środowisko historyków Kościoła oraz duchowieństwo i wiernych Śląska Opolskiego do licznych inicjatyw, mających na celu upamiętnienie pierwszego biskupa opolskiego. Niniejszy tekst poświęcony jest spuściźnie pisarskiej bpa Jopa. Autor, przy pomocy wcześniejszych opracowań, wskazuje na spis 357 pozycji pisarskich pasterza, jakie zamieszczono w 1978 r. w „Studiach Teologiczno-Historycznych Śląska Opolskiego”. Spis ów uzupełnia o 6 kolejnych tekstów, będącymi przemówieniami i pisemnymi opiniami pasterza, jakie wygłosił lub przesłał na piśmie w czasie Soboru Watykańskiego II, a które wydrukowane zostały w Acta Synodalia sacro…
