BACKGROUND Baked egg is tolerated by a majority of egg-allergic children. OBJECTIVE To characterize immunologic changes associated with ingestion of baked egg and evaluate the role that baked egg diets play in the development of tolerance to regular egg. METHODS Egg-allergic subjects who tolerated baked egg challenge incorporated baked egg into their diet. Immunologic parameters were measur...

BACKGROUND Plasmodium falciparum parasites that cause malaria in pregnancy express unique variant surface antigens (VSAs). Levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody to pregnancy-associated VSAs measured at delivery are gravidity dependent, and they have been associated with protection from disease. It is not known how these IgG responses develop in pregnant women receiving intermittent preventi...

field studies were conducted during the cotton crop seasons in 2003 and 2004 at ccs haryana agricultural university, hisar, to identify mortality factors in the egg stage of helicoverpa armigera (hübner) (lepidoptera: noctuidae) in the insecticide-free cotton fields to gain an insight into the role of these factors in causing egg specific mortality. eggs were collected from cotton fields on dif...

the aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of storage and temperature on egg physical quality in hyline chickens line. a total of 150 eggs from college of natural resources farm were sampled for the present experiment. about 70 eggs each were stored in home refrigerator (temperature, 7.46±0.23 ˚c; relative humidity, 24.80±0.05%) and room temperature (temperature, 22.98±1.12 ˚c; relative hu...

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K99 is one of the dominant pathogens associated with diarrhea of calves. Immunoglobulin Y (IgY), has been used as an inexpensive alternative to antibiotics for the prevention and therapy of several bacterial infections. The study aimed to prepare IgY antibodies against E. coli K99 and to investigate its in vitro effectiveness. E. c...

SETTING Danish general practice. SUBJECTS Totally, 54,849 participants of the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort (50-65 years). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The sum of cohort members' face-to-face consult...

BACKGROUND Hen's egg allergy is a frequent cause of childhood food allergy. Egg yolk is used in various commonly consumed foods; if children with allergy to hen's egg could eat heated egg yolk, their quality of life (QOL) would improve. No reports exist regarding oral food challenges (OFCs) for heated egg yolk. We aimed to clarify whether pediatric patients allergic to hen's egg could consume h...

Genetic correlations between purebred and crossbred performance and purebred and crossbred heritabilities were estimated for egg production traits of laying chickens using a multivariate sire model accounting for additive relationships between sires. Two sire lines, denoted lines 1 and 2, were crossed to one dam line to produce crossbred progeny. Records for egg weight, egg specific gravity, an...
