Serological and clinical cross-reactions have been described 5505 between soy and other legumes medicine while pregnant generic 150mg rulide mastercard, with the pollen allergen Bet 1 v, and with bovine casein. However, few data are available on the 5513 doses which may trigger allergic reactions in patients with anaphylactic reactions to soy, which were 5514 often excluded from challenge tests, or on the doses which may trigger non-IgE mediated, late and 5515 mostly gastrointestinal reactions, which are difficult to assess and has not been done prospectively. Background 5518 Fish are water-living non-mammalian vertebrates, breathing with permanent gills, with finger-less 5519 fins. In the regula to ry literature, the terms finned fish or finfish are often used to distinguish fish from 5520 shellfish (crustaceans and molluscs). However, fish intake varies considerably between 5522 different regions, depending on local traditions and supplies. Traditionally, consumption has been 5523 highest in coastal areas, but this pattern may have become less pronounced. Fish consumption also 5524 appears to vary greatly between families and individuals (Welch et al. The route of exposure appears to determine whether food allergy or respira to ry allergy to fish 5529 develops. Food allergy to fish is thought to be induced and triggered mainly via the peroral 5530 gastrointestinal route (Untersmayr et al. In some fish-processing workplaces, respira to ry 5531 allergy to fish has been a considerable problem because of inhaled allergen (Douglas et al. However, two important differential 5534 diagnoses should be mentioned, namely scombroid poisoning (histamine poisoning) and allergic 5535 reactions to the fish parasite Anisakis simplex (Sharp and Lopata, 2013). Scombroid poisoning can be 5536 caused by some fish species if s to red under suboptimal conditions, owing to the conversion of 5537 histidine to histamine by bacterial enzymes (Prester, 2011; Demoncheaux et al. Up to 35 % of 5540 allergic reactions experienced after ingestion of fish in Spain have been reported to be caused by 5541 Anisakis (Anibarro et al. Allergy owing to Anisakis and scombroid poisoning will not be 5542 further discussed in this Opinion. Prevalence 5545 Data on the prevalence of well-documented fish allergy in the general population are scarce. Comparisons between studies are difficult owing to 5549 differences in the methodologies used and age ranges assessed. Prevalence of self-reported allergy to fish in children was lower in other 5554 Northern European countries with high fish consumption, like Iceland (1. In children > 4 years old and 5558 adolescents, prevalence of self-reported allergy ranged from 0. The scarce data available for 5562 adults come from Southern countries, where a prevalence between 0. Time trends 5587 Few studies are available to examine time-trends for fish allergy. Severe reactions/anaphylaxis 5596 Food allergic reactions to fish can be severe and sometimes fatal. Fish meat is one of the foods most 5597 commonly provoking severe anaphylaxis (Sampson, 2000; Lopata and Lehrer, 2009). There are also a 5598 number of reports on anaphylactic reactions to caviar and roe from various fishes (Untersmayr et al. Fac to rs affecting the prevalence of fish allergy 5602 Fish allergy often manifests in young children, but it can also manifest at any age. However, fish 5613 also contains a number of other allergens, some of which have been recently characterised and 5614 identified. For example, Baltic codfish contains other allergens than the parvalbumin Gad c 1 (Aukrust 5615 et al. A to tal of 18 IgE-binding bands in freshly 5616 prepared codfish extract were identified by immunoblotting (Hansen et al. In one study, only 5617 one of eight tuna fish allergic patients had IgE-binding to parvalbumin (Yamada et al. Parvalbumins 5627 Parvalbumin was first described in codfish (Aas and Jebsen, 1967; Elsayed and Apold, 1983) as one of 5628 the first allergens characterised at the molecular level. Parvalbumin is a vertebrate-specific, mainly ++ 5629 cy to solic, globular acidic (pI 3. Two phylogenetic lineages of parvalbumin, fi and fi, differ in 5632 isoelectric point (pI > 5 and pI < 5 for fi and fi parvalbumin, respectively) and features of amino acid 5633 sequence, but share a similar tertiary structure. Both have 30-residue long sub-domains, each 5634 containing a central loop flanked by short amphipathic fi-helices (Nakayama et al. The high structural stability of the ++ 5636 Ca -loaded form confers relative resistance to cooking and digestion in the gastrointestinal tract. Some allergenic determinants in parvalbumin appear to be sequential, which 5640 may explain the low tendency for remission of fish allergy. Biologically active parvalbumin has been 5641 demonstrated in serum samples as early as 10 min after ingestion, peaking after 1-2 hours, suggesting 5642 some pre-gastric absorption (Untersmayr et al. Parvalbumins differ among fish species and 5645 belong to the second (after tropomyosin) largest animal food allergen family, with at least 18 5646 parvalbumins described as allergens and a large number of isoallergens. Since even 5649 microheterogenous isoforms of some allergens may induce very different responses by human T and B 5650 cells (Wagner et al. Further, parvalbumins have a predisposition for intrinsic 5654 disorder (Permyakov et al. This is in part 5658 due to the different levels of expression of parvalbumin in different fish species (Kuehn et al. Collagen 5663 Collagen is ubiqui to usly found as an extracellular matrix protein in animals. Native collagen is 5664 composed of three homo or hetero -chains twisted to gether to form a triple helix, and is insoluble in 5665 water at low temperature. If collagen is denatured, each -chain is released from the triple helix, and 5666 the denatured form of collagen, i. Fish skin from several fish species such 5667 as cod, pollock, tuna and salmon is used for the preparation of fish gelatine (Taylor et al. Some 5668 muscle tissue is likely to adhere to the skin used for collagen preparation (Koppelman et al. Thus, whereas fish collagen is 5674 a sensitiser, its ability to trigger allergic reactions is uncertain, in contrast to mammalian collagen, 5675 which can cause severe allergic reactions. Tropomyosin 5678 Tropomyosin is a major allergen in crustaceans and molluscs, but has only been described as an 5679 allergen in one fish i. Enolase and aldolase 5681 fi-enolase and aldolase are enzymes which have been described as allergens of clinical relevance in 5682. The reports 5687 consistently suggest that roe allergens are different from fish meat allergens because fish roe allergic 5688 patients were often not allergic to fish meat. Several authors have identified vitellogenin (fragments) 5689 as allergens in fish roe (Untersmayr et al. Fish meat and skin allergens 5695 Parvalbumin is responsible for most of the extensive cross-reactivity among fish species. However, 5696 owing to the broad reper to ire of molecular forms of parvalbumin and the small role of other allergens, 5697 patterns of serological and clinical cross-reactivity are difficult to predict (Hansen et al. Extensive serological and clinical cross-reactivity has been 5699 observed among closely related as well as among more distant fish species (Bernhisel-Broadbent et al. It has been reported that about 50 % of individuals 5701 allergic to one type of fish will react to a second fish species, and that up to 40 % of patients sensitised 5702 to one or more species of fish do not present symp to ms when consuming some other species (Torres 5703 Borrego et al. Fishes in the Scombroideae family, which includes tuna, appear to be the best 5704 to lerated. Oral challenges 5715 were positive to one fish only in seven patients, to two fishes in one patient, and to three fishes in two 5716 patients, suggesting that most fish allergic patients are able to eat one or more fish species without 5717 symp to ms. However, cross-reactivity among fishes is so broad and unpredictable that fish allergic 5718 subjects should be advised to avoid all fish species until a fish species has been proven safe by food 5719 challenge (Helbling et al. There are only two case reports describing cross-reactivity 5723 between fish species (bluefin tuna and marlin; pangasius and tilapia) without parvalbumin being 5724 involved (Kondo et al.

In cancer treatment, of course, staging a lesion as T1 localization of extragenital endometriotic foci and possible versus T2 has a direct impact on the surgical procedure of involvement of the rectal wall. But in the case of endometriosis, poor discrimination between infamma to ry changes and endometriotic tissue has no impact on surgical 6.

This diagnosis can be established experience, so the procedure requires an experienced by correlating ultrasound fndings with the clinical presentation. In some cases, if the endometriotic mass is less than 10 mm in Stage 2: Endometriotic tissue is in direct contact with diameter, the resection can be performed with a linear stapler the bowel wall.

Leaving a short distal segment of either rectum or sigmoid for the stapled anas to mosis is preferable. This makes Placement of the patient in this manner is necessary because the advancement of the stapler much easier when reaching when the stapler is inserted in to the rectum it must be angled the distal staple line. Failure to do this will result in the inability to safely end- to -end stapler also has a curve in order to accommodate advance the stapler with the possibility of bowel injury pos this ana to mically without putting excessive tension on the teriorly as the stapler is advanced under tension. The length of the of the most crucial steps in preparing the patient for surgery staple devices, from the staple line to the mechanical handle when a low anas to mosis is anticipated. The Ethicon stapler (on bot to m of the fgure) Staplers for anas to mosis are available in various sizes. The measures 30 cm from staple line to handle while the Covidien sizes range from 21 mm to 33 mm. This leaves from the outside diameter of the staple device and does not refect 6 cm to 13 cm length on the stapler past the end of the true the inside luminal diameter when the anas to mosis is complete. The largest-diameter stapler measures 33 mm, which when fred results in a luminal diameter of only 2. This is the length for anas to mosis as well as allowing easier alignment of maximal diameter available for circular staple devices, any sta the stapler with proximal bowel for anas to mosis. Consideration should be given to these points when mobiliz When choosing the appropriate staple size for anas to mosis, ing the distal bowel segment. The proximal bowel that is to be attached to the rectum must be adequately mobilized so that there is no excessive tension the anvil is the backs to p for the forming of the staples during on the anas to mosis. In narrowed bowel such as that seen in pelvis after mobilization, with the patient still in Trendelenberg diverticular disease, the lumen can be very stenotic and safely position without retracting back above the sacral promon to ry, placing the anvil in the bowel without tearing the wall of the co this indicates adequate mobilization. If this is the case, the anvil may be placed mal bowel, the surgeon must keep in mind that there must sideways in the bowel lumen instead of end-on, so that there is also be an adequate blood supply to the bowel. This sion and an adequate blood supply are the two key points to a results in an end- to -side anas to mosis which functions just as successful outcome.

There are technologies available now involving the use of dyes with special imaging and detection devices that evaluate the Second consideration is the distal segment to be stapled to . If the distal segment has sigmoid colon still present signifcant reduction in leaks when using this technology. These sizers are helpful also in dilating the anal sphincter prior to inserting the staple device in to the rectum. This prevents leaving a band of complished given a normal healthy bowel, but if the latter is devascularized tissue between the fnal circular anas to mosis thickened or infamed, the staples may not adequately secure and the distal staple line which will result in a leak.

However medicine vial caps quality 150mg rulide, most horses infected with tapeworms tend to have relatively few worms, and these likely produce little in the way of pathogenic consequences. Tapeworm infections are difficult to diagnose using common egg counting or flotation methods since eggs are passed only intermittently with shedding and disintegration of mature proglottids. Consequently, unless a horse is infected with a large burden of tapeworms, seeing tapeworm eggs in the feces is a chance event, when a standard egg counting method is used. A modification of a centrifugation-based egg counting technique based on analyzing 40 grams of feces has been validated to have a diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 0. For detecting tapeworm burdens of 20 worms and above, the sensitivity of this method was found to be 0. One study has found a Wisconsin method set to analyze 5 grams of feces to have a diagnostic sensitivity of 0. Since eggs are clustered in the feces, the number of eggs seen is not highly relevant, and fecals should just be interpreted as being either negative or positive. To greatly increase the sensitivity of detection for tapeworms, horses can be treated with either praziquantel or a ces to cidal dose of pyrantel, and then 24 hour later fecals are performed (Sanada et al. If the horse was infected with tapeworms, there is a high probability that tapeworm eggs will be seen in the feces. The research group led by Proudman at University of Liverpool developed the first fully validated and commercially available serological diagnostic test for diagnosing equine tapeworm infection (Proudman and Trees, 1996). However, being an antibody based test, it more reflects exposure than actual infection, and horses can remain seropositive for months after treatment (Abbott et al. A different serological test is also available to test for the presence of antibodies to A. Because tapeworms are relatively common and widely distributed, have a strong seasonality of transmission, have potential to cause disease, and are difficult to diagnose, it is likely that a properly timed single annual tapeworm treatment would be beneficial for most horses. Even if this treatment is not needed for the health of an individual horse, a properly timed annual treatment given to all horses on a property should diminish transmission the following grazing season. However, there is no evidence that frequent tapeworm treatments throughout the year would provide any additional health benefit. In most areas, this treatment should be given in the late fall or winter after tapeworm transmission ends due to cold weather. It should also be noted that horses living in dry arid regions may have little or no exposure to tapeworms and thus would not require any ces to cidal treatments. Migrating larvae can cause signs of airway inflammation, including cough and nasal discharge (Clay to n, 1986). Further, infection poses a risk for small intestinal impactions, which are associated with a guarded prognosis for survival, and can be further complicated by intestinal rupture (Cribb et al. Current evidence suggests that deworming of a heavily parasitized foal with an efficacious anthelmintic that has a paralytic mode of action, can cause acute small intestinal impaction (Nielsen, 2016b). This association has not been found with benzimidazole type drugs, and these may therefore represent a better treatment choice for Parascaris spp. The parasite is practically ubiqui to us in breeding operations and the eggs are characterized by being particularly resistant to environmental influences and can remain present and infectious for several years, if organic matter is present in the soil (Ihler, 1995). However, the increased fecal testing on farms may be rendering positive horses that previously went undiscovered. High levels of resistance have been documented across the world to ivermectin and moxidectin (Peregrine et al. Given that benzimidazoles have a non-paralytic mode of action, they appear to represent the best choice for Parascaris treatment on many properties, but pyrantel salts may be considered as well. Given the levels of resistance found to ivermectin and moxidectin on many farms, fenbendazole given at 10 mg/kg for five consecutive days may be the only remaining option for larvicidal treatment. Oxyuris equi (Pinworms) Clinical disease from pinworms his to rically was seen mostly in young horses; however, in recent years cases in adult horses appear to be becoming increasingly more common (Reinemeyer and Nielsen, 2014). Pinworm infections tend to be sporadic, and usually only one or a few horses are affected out of a group. Clinical signs vary in intensity, but in severe cases, intense tail rubbing and hindquarter and/or perineal skin excoriations are seen. Some adult horses may have patent pinworm infections without showing any specific clinical signs. Eggs can sometimes be found on a fecal exam, but the scotch tape test or examination of perineal scrapings (using a to ngue depressor and lube) are more sensitive. Furthermore, pinworm eggs are rather hardy, and can persist on the perianal region and in the environment for relatively long periods of time. There are many anecdotal reports of pinworms being resistant to macrocyclic lac to ne anthelmintics, however, there is only one documented case in the literature thus far (Wolf et al. If resistance is suspected, the available evidence suggests benzimidazoles should be given priority over pyrantel salts due to better his to ric efficacy levels (Reinemeyer and Nielsen, 2014). It should be emphasized that rectal lavage using liquid formulations of various anthelmintic products is very unlikely to have any effect as O. Because the pruritus secondary to pinworm infections is caused by the material secreted by the female when depositing her eggs, washing the perineum and perianal region may help to relieve symp to ms. After scrubbing, all materials should be discarded or washed in hot water with soap and/or disinfectants. It is often recommended to treat with a boticide once each year during late fall or early winter as a clean-out treatment, which will help to decrease transmission in the next season. Currently, ivermectin and moxidectin are the only available parasiticides for horses with activity against bots. Thus, infection of horses could be prevented if all feces were promptly removed from the pasture. In a bygone era, the most elite stables employed pasture grooms, who followed grazing horses with a scoop shovel and a broom. Studies at Newmarket in Great Britain examined the efficacy of cleaning horse pastures with a large commercial vacuum unit that was originally designed for golf course maintenance. Twice weekly vacuuming was demonstrated to control pasture infectivity more effectively than routine deworming (Herd, 1986). However, the cost of the vacuum units was prohibitively expensive for the average horse owner, and the process only worked well on level, relatively dry pastures. Despite this, several commercial devices are now available for cleaning pastures, and these have found use on many horse farms. Environmental Control Eggs hatch and develop in to infective larvae under conditions of moderate temperature and moisture. Cold slows the rate of development or s to ps it al to gether, and excessive heat kills eggs and larvae. It is possible to heat manure sufficiently to kill the parasites, including even ascarid eggs (Gould et al. Proper composting of manure and soiled bedding will generate relatively high internal temperatures, and strongyle larvae in manure are virtually eradicated by exposure to temperatures over 40 fiC for a minimum of one week (Gould et al. Non-composted horse manure should never be spread on pastures as this will increase the level of parasite contamination. Leaving pastures unoccupied for several months of the year may or may not reduce the risk of infection depending on the time of the year and the climate where the farm is located. Infective strongyle larvae (L3) can survive for only a few days to a few weeks in hot weather (temperatures around 40fiC), but for as many as six to nine months during colder weather (Nielsen et al. Consequently, L3 survival in the environment will vary greatly from region to region and season to season. Thus, strategies for environmental control must be made based on local conditions. Strongyle infective third-stage (L3) larvae can survive in wide extremes of weather and climate, but there are sets of conditions that are optimal and sets of conditions where development and/or survival are poor (Table 5). Therefore, it is recommended to focus anthelmintic treatments at times of the year that are most optimal for larval development, i. Doing so will reduce pasture contamination with infective stages, thereby decreasing the acquisition of new infections. In addition, a time when transmission is likely is also the time of year when adequate refugia are present, thus selection pressure for anthelmintic resistance is theoretically lessened. Conversely, it is recommended to avoid or limit treatments of equine strongyles during the winter months in cold temperate climates and during summer months in warm/hot climates (times of low refugia), in order to reduce the development of anthelmintic resistance. Effects of temperature on the survival, development and persistence of free-living stages (eggs, L1, L2, L3) of strongyles (Nielsen et al.

The presence of several cases of measles in an emergency setting does not preclude a measles vaccination campaign medications causing tinnitus discount rulide 150 mg with amex. Even among individuals who have already been exposed and are incubating the natural virus, measles vaccine, if given within 3 days of infection, may provide protection or modify the clinical severity of the illness. If cases of measles occur, isolation is not indicated and children with measles participating in selective feeding programmes should not be withdrawn. The emergency-affected population must be vaccinated during the first days of the emergency and all new arrivals should be vaccinated. The target age group depends on the vaccine coverage in the country of origin of the affected population. The optimal age group to vaccinate for measles is 6 months through 14 years of age if possible, with a minimum acceptable age range of 6 months through 4 years of age. The target age group for vaccination must be chosen based on vaccine availability, funding, human resources and local measles epidemiology. A measles control plan should be developed and implemented as rapidly as possible while ensuring high quality in coverage, cold chain/ logistics, and vaccination safety. Children aged between 6 and 9 months should be revaccinated as soon as they reach 9 months of age. A pre-vaccination count of the target population should be conducted, but this should not delay the start of the vaccination programme. In long-term refugee health programmes, vaccination should be targeted at all children aged between 9 months and 5 years. Malnutrition is not a contraindication for measles vaccination; on the contrary, it should be considered a strong indication for vaccination. Similarly, fever, respira to ry tract infection and diarrhoea are not contraindications for measles vaccination. Meningococcal meningitis is characterized by sudden onset with fever, intense headache, stiff neck, occasional vomiting and irritability. Epidemic meningitis has been recognized as serious public health problem for almost 200 years. The infection is usually transmitted from person to person in aerosols in crowded places. Rural- to -urban migration and over crowding in poorly designed and constructed buildings in camps and slums can contribute to transmission. The disease can be treated effectively with appropriate antimicrobial and, with rapid treatment, the case-fatality in an epidemic is usually between 5% and 15%. In East Africa, which is outside this belt, the epidemics tend to occur during the cold and dry months. In stable populations, the epidemic threshold is generally an incidence of 15 cases per 100 000 inhabitants per week, in 1 week if the population is greater than 30 000, and 5 cases in 1 week or doubling of the number of cases over a 3-week period if the population is less than 30 000. When the epidemic threshold is reached, a mass vaccination campaign should be implemented in the at-risk population (for more details see Section 4. Microbiological confirmation should be sought as a matter of urgency, but this should not delay the start of a vaccination campaign. Meningitis vaccine Meningococcal meningitis A and C can be prevented by vaccination. Vaccine-induced immunity lasts about 5 years in adults and older children, while younger children are protected for approximately 2 years. A quadrivalent vaccine is also available for combined vaccination against serogroups A, C, Y and W135. Vaccination recommendations for meningococcal meningitis are summarized in Table 2. There is no specific treatment, but supportive therapy for patients should be provided. The yellow fever vaccine offers a high level of protection, with seroconversion rates of 95% or higher for both adults and children. In an outbreak, the risk of disease would outweigh the small theoretical risk to the fetus from vaccination. Recently, there has been renewed interest in using oral cholera vaccines in mass vaccination campaigns, in conjunction with traditionally recommended control measures such as provision of safe water and improved sanitation. Big challenges however remain with regard to risk assessment, identification of the target population and logistics among others. Traditional injectable cholera vaccines are considered insufficiently protective and to o reac to genic. Oral cholera vaccines Potential use of oral cholera vaccines in emergency situations. Some areas where health education and community participation can be beneficial: Improving recognition of severe disease by the population. Do the volunteers know what information to collect in order to measure effectivenessfi They should work with their elders, leaders and local health staff (health workers and traditional birth attendants). Volunteers should know the traditional beliefs about diseases and know what priority health problems the community wants to solve. They should also know what other groups are doing in their community about priority health problems and know the families and visit them regularly to provide key messages. Volunteers are part-time and need to reorganize themselves in order to accomplish their designated tasks. Community action where groups of volunteers work at the same time on a project requires a leader to ensure coordination. A surveillance system should be simple, flexible, acceptable and situation specific. It should be established at the beginning of public health activities set up in response to an emergency. Public health surveillance classically comprises six core activities (detection, registration, confirmation, reporting, analysis and feedback) that are made possible through four support activities (communication, training, supervision and resource provision). At field level, the health coordination team must identify a limited number of priority diseases that pose a threat to the health of the population. This selection process must be done at the beginning of health care activities in an emergency. Experience from many emergency situations has shown that certain diseases/ syndromes must always be considered as priorities and moni to red systemati cally. In certain geographical areas, other diseases that are endemic or that represent an epidemic threat, such as malaria or viral haemorrhagic fevers may have to be included. When setting up surveillance systems, it is important to be aware of health conditions that have local distribution and include these in the surveillance programme. In parts of West Africa, for example, Lassa fever should be included in the list of priority diseases for surveillance. In areas where typhus has caused problems in the past, routine surveillance should include reporting both of suspected/confirmed cases of the condition and of infestations with body lice, the vec to r of the disease. Data are reported as part of the day- to -day work of the hospital, health clinic or outreach post. Routine data are usually recorded in an inpatient or outpatient register, and are then transferred to summary tally sheets at the end of each week.

Out of the eight symp to ms that were measured medications you can take while nursing discount rulide line, the only significant effect was a presumably spurious increase in perceived warmth among control participants during the sham condition. There was no evidence that either group could discriminate between the conditions. During and after each condition, participants were asked about the presence of eight symp to ms and whether they could perceive any exposure. The authors reported that in the first study, the participant experienced more symp to ms in the real condition than the sham condition. In the second study, she experienced more symp to ms in the pulsed condition than the sham condition. However, it has subsequently been suggested that analysing the data according to whether symp to ms were present or absent would have resulted in a different set of findings (Rubin et al. A third study involving this participant observed that she was unable to discriminate sham exposure from exposure to carrier frequencies of between 60 Hz to 500 kHz during a series of 300 two-second trials (McCarty et al. According to how the exposure was done, it is not possible to determine if transients at the on/off were present and thus part of the to tal exposure. Perception thresholds for the real magnetic pulses were comparable in the two groups. Twenty-six patients were randomly allocated to receive an equivalent sham exposure. The stimulation group experienced a significantly improved pain threshold compared to the sham group over the eight weeks of the study. Some secondary outcomes (ability to perform daily activities, sleep quality, perceived pain) were also improved. The control group was found to be no better than chance at detecting the exposure. The researchers noted that additional testing of this participant is planned, and that replication of the study as a whole is warranted. However, no attempt was made to control for any differences in work patterns or culture between these groups. Those categorised as higher exposure were significantly more likely to suffer from poor sleep and psychological distress. Although details are scarce in the paper, they reported finding no significant relationship between exposure level and either outcome. Korpinen and Paakkonen observed significant associations between use of a desk to p computer and psychological symp to ms in their sample of 6121 Finns (Korpinen & Paakkonen, 2009; see Section 3. A subsequent analysis of this dataset demonstrated that, amongst respondents who experienced neck pain, the occurrence of various other musculoskeletal symp to ms was associated with the use of desk to p or lap to p computers, presumably as a result of poor ergonomics (Korpinen, Paakkonen and Gobba, 2013). Although perceived proximity was associated with symp to m reports, objective proximity was not. Conclusions on symp to ms the studies published since the 2009 Opinion show discordant results. The material consisted of more than 700,000 live births in Montreal and Quebec City during 1990-2004 (Auger et al. Exposure assessment was based on distance between residence and nearest powerline. The end-points evaluated included preterm birth, low birth weight and small for gestational age. More than 12,000 births were classified in the highest exposure category (<50 m from the powerline). Some uncertainty was due to the fact that the address was available only at time of birth, and lack of information on powerline voltage, earlier reproductive outcomes or lifestyle fac to rs such as smoking. The material consisted of 2033 stillbirths, also including pregnancy terminations due to foetal anomalies (foetal death with weight fi500g regardless of gestational age) and more than 500,000 live births (single to ns only for both categories). Besides the above mentioned limitations, the analysis also had a small number of exposed stillbirths (16 in the highest exposure category), which hinders precise risk estimation. An Italian case-control study assessed the relation between power lines and congenital anomalies (Malagoli et al. The material covered 228 congenital anomalies during 1998-2006 in Reggio Emilia (including livebirths, stillbirths and induced abortions), with a similar number of pregnancies as controls (matched by calendar year, hospital and maternal age). Magnetic flux density was estimated from distance from residence (during the first trimester) and average load of the line. A two-year prospective study in China enrolled pregnant women at 8 weeks of gestation and women planning pregnancy during 2010-2012 (Wang et al. In analyses of the front door measurements, 8% of the pregnant women in the low exposure group had a miscarriage, while the proportion in the high-exposure group was 12%. When the high-exposure group was subdivided, no gradient was found for the average front door measurements, but a higher risk of miscarriage was seen in women with the highest maximal values of measured fields on the street in front of the house. The women with miscarriage were slightly younger and had more commonly lower education and his to ry of previous pregnancy problems or depression. No measurements were performed within the home of the subjects, which reduces the validity of the results. The finding that miscarriage was associated with magnetic field on the street, but not at the front door seems counterintuitive as front door should be a better indica to r of the residential exposure. It was unclear why the maximal values and not the average for the street were used in the analysis and this may be a post hoc decision suggesting explora to ry data analysis. Only a third of the subjects had exposure levels above the median, but this could be due to a peaked exposure distribution (kur to sis). A large cohort study covered 140,000 live single to n births in 2004-2008 in Northwest England (de Vocht et al. Residential proximity to power lines, cables, substations, or to wers was used as the exposure indica to r and it was estimated based on postal codes. The outcomes included preterm birth, low birth weight and small for gestational age and were obtained from a perinatal survey database covering 21 maternity units. Complete data on all variables was available only for 53% of the births and information maternal smoking only for a third of the included births. An alternative analysis using propensity score matching showed a similar result, with a lower birth weight for residence <50 m though of smaller size and borderline significance, but the findings were not consistent internally as a higher birth weight was found for distance <100 m (de Vocht et al. No statistically significant differences in risk were found for proximity to a source of 50m or less, 100m or less or 200m or less compared to the reference distances for any of the selected birth outcomes. The highest exposure group (<50 m distance) had less than 10 events for all outcomes in the main analysis, with odds ratios ranging 1. Higher, but non-significant odds ratios were reported in the subset of the data from the most recent years with maternal data available. The main analysis did not reveal any significant association, and it is unclear if the analysis of mean birth weight was pre-specified or carried out post hoc. The validity of the exposure classification based on postal codes rather than house coordinates is uncertain. A cohort of pregnant women was enrolled during the first trimester of pregnancy and a 24-hour measurement was carried out. Information on diseases in the offspring was obtained from the database of the health insurance provider.

IgE to Gly m 5 and 5203 Gly m 6 treatment 3rd degree burns generic rulide 150mg free shipping, which contains linear epi to pes, was identified as a potential diagnostic marker for severe soy 5204 allergy (Holzhauser et al. The use of soy-specific components for the diagnosis of soy 5207 allergy was investigated in case-control studies where controls were not suspected of being soy 5208 allergic (I to et al. IgE to Gly m 8 had the best accuracy in diagnosing adult 5211 soy allergy, IgE to Gly m 5 and 6 was related to mild symp to ms, and Gly m 4 to soy milk allergy 5212 (Klemans et al. Cross-reactivities 5214 Serological cross-reactivities against other legumes in soy allergic individuals have been described in 5215 relation to peanut (70-90 %), green pea (~ 80 %), lima bean (~ 50 %), string bean (~ 40 %) (Bernhisel 5216 Broadbent and Sampson, 1989; Bernhisel-Broadbent et al. Peanut allergic children (with or 5225 without anaphylaxis) had significantly higher IgE binding to Ara h 1-3 (peanut allergens) and Gly m 5226 5-6 (soy allergens) than asymp to matic children sensitised to peanut (Hong et al. Soy intake 5232 does not appear to be a risk fac to r for peanut allergy (Koplin et al. The soybean Gly m Gy4 and Gly m 5 subunit cross-react with 5238 casein (Rozenfeld et al. Out of 10 children with a positive milk 5239 challenge, six also had a positive soy challenge. There was a challenge order effect, which needs to be 5240 considered when designing and reporting food challenge studies (Niggemann and Beyer, 2007). Possible effects of food processing on allergenicity and derived products 5242 the effects of different processes on the allergenic potential of soy products, including lecithins and 5243 soybean oil, have been reviewed (Besler et al. Heat treatments 5247 Most exposures to heat between 80-120 fiC for 60 minutes lead to a reduction in IgE-binding (Burks et 5248 al. Conversely, heat treatment and s to rage was reported to increase allergenicity 5252 of soybean hull through the formation of two neoallergens (Codina et al. Fermentation 5256 Natural or induced fermentation in soybean meals significantly reduced IgE-binding up to 89 %, in 5257 particular if the resulting proteins were < 20 kDa (Song et al. The lowest IgE-binding was observed with liquid 5259 fermentation of soybean flour (Frias et al. Out of 5261 the 43 children challenged with soy formula in one study (Burks et al. Allergenicity was retained in a soy sauce, a 5263 fermented product containing both wheat and soy (Hefle et al. Soy lecithin 5275 Soy lecithins are used as stabilisers and emulsifiers in a wide range of foods, drugs and other industrial 5276 products. Soy lecithins are mostly obtained by hexane extraction during the manufacturing of soy oil. Lecithins 5278 are complex mixtures composed mainly by phospholipids, glycolipids and fatty acids (phospholipid 5279 complex), but they also contain residual proteins in variable amounts depending on the manufacturing 5280 process. Proteins present in lecithins may trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals (Palm et al. Soy lecithin was shown to contain a number of IgE 5284 binding proteins (Gu et al. The 5291 seed maturation protein P34 (32 kDa) from the 7S globulin fraction of soy proteins was also identified. The presence of protein in soy oil depends on 5296 the degree of refining, as for other seed oils. Both cold-pressed and fully refined oils have been shown 5297 to contain proteins (0. Although most publications 5298 suggest that refined oils do not induce allergic reactions in sensitive individuals (Bush et al. A 56 kDa allergenic protein was also found in cold-pressed and 5302 deodorised soybean oils (Errahali et al. The 5304 protein profile of the cold-pressed soy oil was similar to that of soy flour, with seven bands in a wide 5305 molecular range (94-14 kDa) (Martin-Hernandez et al. The soy lecithin seed maturation 5306 protein P34 from the 7S globulin fraction (35 kDa) and fi-amylase (56 kDa) were identified. Detection allergens in food 5308 Many methods are available to detect allergens in soy products. A critical aspect is the extraction of 5309 proteins from soy lecithins and soy oils. Extraction with hexane-isopropanol-water was found most 5310 suitable to extract protein from lecithin (Martin-Hernandez et al. One is based on a 5325 specific rabbit anti-fi-conglycinin polyclonal antibody (Moriyama et al. However, both methods showed drawbacks related either to 5345 interferences with the food matrix and specificity (cross-reactivity with chickpeas) or to accuracy, 5346 which hampered the detection of soy proteins in processed foods. Antibodies against modified protein extracts are more suitable to detect soy allergens in 5349 processed foods than antibodies raised against the native protein (Cucu et al. If antibodies are 5350 raised against a single native allergen, this should be stable during processing conditions. An au to mated fluorescent microsphere-based flow cy to metric triplex inhibition 5366 immunoassay was developed for the same purpose (Haasnoot and du Pre, 2007). The concentration of the eight 5387 allergens in soy seeds ranged approximately from 0. The impact of food 5388 processing on these specific peptides was investigated in another study (Cucu et al. In four studies, challenges were conducted for diagnostic purposes 5441 (Magnolfi et al. Alternatively, up to 40 capsules containing soy flour (88 mg soy 5448 protein/capsule) were administered every 20 min at increasing doses (1, 2, 3, 5, 10 and 19 capsules). Clinical reactions 5450 to the challenge were observed in eight (6 %) of the children. Immediate reactions (3-15 min) were 5451 observed in five children, of which two reacted to the first dose of 88 mg soy protein. Delayed 5452 (gastrointestinal) reactions were noted in three children (at 4 hours, 3 and 7 days of ingestion). All delayed reactions were observed with the maximum 5459 cumulative dose used (180 mL), whereas immediate symp to ms were already observed at the lowest 5460 dose tested in one subject, and at cumulative doses of 36 mL and 84 mL in three subjects each. Children with 5465 convincing his to ry of anaphylaxis and a high level of soy IgE (> 10 U/mL) (n = 2) were excluded from 5466 the challenge. Five patients were included on the basis of a 5472 convincing his to ry of anaphylaxis to soy. Seven increasing doses were administered at 30-min intervals using a semi-log scale. The 5484 severity of objective clinical symp to ms was graded following a five-level grading system, from grade 5485 I (skin symp to ms and/or gastrointestinal tract symp to ms with no respira to ry, cardiovascular, 5486 neurological symp to ms) to grade V (skin symp to ms and/or gastrointestinal tract symp to ms plus 5487 respira to ry symp to ms plus cardiovascular symp to ms). It is also unclear whether these 5499 patients may react to small amounts of allergen over a prolonged period of exposure. Conclusion 5501 Severe and/or fatal anaphylaxis reactions to soy and soy containing foods seem to be rare. Higher rates 5502 of anaphylactic reactions to soy protein have been reported among peanut allergic patients. The 5503 prevalence of clinically confirmed soy allergy in unselected populations in Europe appears to be low, 5504 although available studies are scarce. Collagen is assumed to play a role in cross 5725 sensitisation between fishes (Kuehn et al. Cases with apparent monosensitisation to one fish species or group of fish have been 5727 described. Fish roe 5732 Different patterns of serological cross-reactivity against roe from different fish species. However, broad cross-reactivity between roe from 5736 different species appears to be common (Shimizu et al. Fish meat and skin allergens 5739 Allergenicity in fish is found with fi-parvalbumins, while in frog and chicken it is associated with fi 5740 parvalbumins. Fish roe allergens 5751 IgE cross-reactivity between salmon roe and the phylogenetically distant sea urchin roe has been 5752 reported (Kondo et al.
