: Apple () is a fruit commonly associated with allergic oral symptoms in the Mexican pediatric population; however, knowledge of its allergenic proteins is limited. This information is crucial as sensitization frequencies to specific allergens can vary among different populations. The main allergic symptomatology before apple ingestion derives from primary sensitizations induced by pollen, promoting cross-reactivity with the main allergenic protein of apple.

This pilot study aimed to identify potential biomarkers in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from MDD patients.
Methods: We used tandem mass tagging coupled to synchronous precursor selection (mass spectrometry) to obtain the differential proteomic profile from a pool of PBMCs from MDD patients and healthy subjects, and quantitative PCR to assess gene expression of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) of our interest.
Objective: To study postural changes, taking into account different mandibular positions and the cephalic and plantar body segments.
Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive, clinical, and observational study was carried out on 76 patients, (mean age 28.79 years), in whom body posture and plantar support were evaluated in the maximum mandibular intercuspal position and the mandibular rest position without dental contact.
Objective: To determine postural changes in relation to mandibular position in maximum intercuspation and at rest in adult patients of both sexes.
Methods: : A descriptive observational clinical study was carried out in 76 patients. Using an analyzer and the Meersseman test, the necessary dermal points for postural analysis were located.
