Prospective evaluation of tolerance to unheated milk-boiled egg after baked milk-egg tolerance under 2 years.

Background: The time to acquisition of tolerance to unheated milk and regular egg after achievement of tolerance to baked goods is not known.

Objective: To determine the time to acquisition of unheated-milk-regular-egg tolerance, after the tolerance of the baked forms, in children younger than 2 years.

Methods: An initial oral food challenge with baked milk (BM) and baked egg (BE) was performed on patients who were reactive to unheated milk-regular egg, respectively.

Molecular sexual determinants in Pistacia genus by KASP assay.

Background: Pistacia is a genus of dioecious plant species whose trees can take 4-5 years to reach the economically valuable fruit-bearing stage. The fruits have great importance as raw material in the food, healthcare, and baking industries. For that reason, the identification of individual plants in the early juvenile period for the pollination and positioning of trees is crucial for growers.

A Novel Homozygous Mutation in the MYO5B Gene Associated With Normal-Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis.

The genetic defect of MYO5B is usually associated with microvillus inclusion disease (MVID). MYO5B mutations are one of the rare causes of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) with normal/low gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). In this report, we discuss the case of a nine-month-old girl with low-GGT cholestasis whose next-generation sequencing (NGS) showed a homozygous splicing variation (c.

A Prospective Assessment of Clinical Characteristics and Responses to Dietary Elimination in Food Protein-Induced Allergic Proctocolitis.

Background: Some aspects of diagnostic elimination/challenge diets in food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP) are still poorly defined.

Objective: This study investigated the symptom spectrum, time required for resolution of each symptom, triggering foods, and risk factors for multiple food allergies (MFA) in FPIAP.

Methods: Infants referred with visible blood in stool were enrolled after etiologies other than FPIAP had been excluded.

Utility of fresh egg skin prick test and egg yolk specific immunoglobulin E for outgrowth.

Background: In children younger than 2 years, studies evaluating the value of skin prick tests (SPTs) and specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) results to predict persistence or resolution of egg allergy (EA) are limited. In addition, the value of egg yolk (EY) sIgE and fresh egg (FE) SPTs has not been well characterized.

Objective: To investigate the optimal decision points (ODPs) for outgrowing allergy with SPTs and sIgE tests for egg allergen preparations.
