PURPOSE To measure the choroidal thickness (CT) after dynamic exercise by using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 19 healthy participants performed 10 min of low-impact, moderate-intensity exercise (i.e., riding a bicycle ergometer) and were examined with EDI-OCT. Each participant was scanned before exercise and afterward at 5 min ...

BACKGROUND The use of oral food challenges (OFCs) in clinics is limited because they are complicated and associated with anaphylactic symptoms. To increase their use, it is necessary to develop novel, effective, and safe methods. However, the effectiveness of different OFCs has not been compared. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of ingestion methods on wheat allergy symptoms and treatment ...

The absorption of NO(3) (-) was characterized in six regions of a 7-d-old corn root (Zea mays L. cv W64A x W182E) growing in a complete nutrient solution. Based on changing rates of (15)N accumulation during 15-min time courses, translocation of the concurrently absorbed N through each region of the intact root was calculated and distinguished from direct absorption from the medium. Of the (15)...
