Sir, The ingestion of crustacea and mollusca is one of the most frequent causes of food allergy (1). The mollusca phylum includes lamellibranchia (bivalves) and involves the following orders: mytiloida (familia mytilidae: mussels); ostreoida (familia ostreidae: oysters) and veneroida (familia veneridae: clams) (2). Herein we report a study of 11 cases of IgE-mediated urticaria/angioedema caused...

as Mollusca (Coleoidea) and precursors of Cambrian Nectocaridids and extant cuttlefish and squid. Abstract A functional interpretation of the problematic Ediacaran fossils Podolimurus and similar organisms such as Dickinsonia indicates that they are hitherto unrecognized members of Mollusca: Coleoidea and precursors of Cambrian Nectocaridids and of extant cuttlefish and squid. This interpretati...

The Mollusca represent one of the most morphologically diverse animal phyla, prompting a variety of hypotheses on relationships between the major lineages within the phylum based upon morphological, developmental, and paleontological data. Analyses of small-ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene sequence have provided limited resolution of higher-level relationships within the Mollusca. Recent analyses ...

Cidofovir (1-3%) cream or ointment[4] and electron beam therapy[5] have been used effectively to treat extensive lesions in the immunosuppressed but are not easily available. Facial mollusca of the giant type and especially those found in HIV-infected patients do not respond well to treatment. Intralesional interferon used in resistant facial mollusca[6] and topical imiquimod[7] were avoided as...

The Middle Cambrian lophotrochozoans Odontogriphus omalus and Wiwaxia corrugata have been interpreted as stem-group members of either the Mollusca, the Annelida, or a group containing Mollusca + Annelida. The case for each classification rests on the organisms' unusual mouthparts, whose two to three tooth-rows resemble both the molluscan radula and the jaws of certain annelid worms. Despite the...
