Dietary changes expose consumers to risks from larvae in seafood, leading to parasitic diseases and allergies. is recognized by EFSA as a significant hazard, with potential oncogenic implications. Diagnostic advancements, like the Basophil Activation Test (BAT), enhance sensitivity and accuracy in identifying sensitization, complementing traditional IgE tests.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the increasing health concerns related to allergies caused by consuming undercooked or raw seafood containing parasites, specifically focusing on a group of 53 allergic outpatients in Western Sicily from April 2021 to March 2022.
  • Utilizing various testing methods like Skin Prick Test, IgE-specific dosage, and Basophil Activation Test (BAT), researchers identified different allergy diagnoses, reporting a high rate of diagnosed cases and notable differences in risk levels between allergic patients and those with chronic urticaria.
  • The results highlighted the BAT's superior accuracy and specificity in diagnosing allergies, suggesting that these findings could help in refining clinical guidelines for allergy diagnosis in the future.

The title mononuclear Co complex, [Co(CHN)(CHO)(HO)]·2HO, has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, with one formula unit per cell (Z = 1 and Z' = 1/2). It consists of a mononuclear unit with the Co ion on an inversion centre coordinated by two 2,6-diamino-7H-purin-1-ium cations, two 4,4'-oxydibenzoate anions (in a nonbridging κO-monodentate coordination mode, which is less common for the anion in its Co complexes) and two water molecules, defining an octahedral environment around the metal atom.

Background: The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity of honey and its ability to accelerate wound healing make it an attractive option in surgical wound care. We performed a randomized clinical trial to compare the efficacy of honey dressing with conventional dressing regarding the aesthetic outcome.

Patients And Methods: Bilateral symmetric incisions in randomly selected plastic surgical patients were randomly covered postoperatively with conventional dressing and honey dressing for five days.

Three isotypic rare earth complexes, catena-poly[[aquabis(but-2-enoato-κ(2)O,O')yttrium(III)]-bis(μ-but-2-enoato)-κ(3)O,O':O;κ(3)O:O,O'-[aquabis(but-2-enoato-κ(2)O,O')yttrium(III)]-μ-4,4'-(ethane-1,2-diyl)dipyridine-κ(2)N:N'], [Y2(C4H5O2)6(C12H12N2)(H2O)2], the gadolinium(III) analogue, [Gd2(C4H5O2)6(C12H12N2)(H2O)2], and the gadolinium(III) analogue with a 4,4'-(ethene-1,2-diyl)dipyridine bridging ligand, [Gd2(C4H5O2)6(C12H10N2)(H2O)2], are one-dimensional coordination polymers made up of centrosymmetric dinuclear [M(but-2-enoato)3(H2O)]2 units (M = rare earth), further bridged by centrosymmetric 4,4'-(ethane-1,2-diyl)dipyridine or 4,4'-(ethene-1,2-diyl)dipyridine spacers into sets of chains parallel to the [201̄] direction. There are intra-chain and inter-chain hydrogen bonds in the structures, the former providing cohesion of the linear arrays and the latter promoting the formation of broad planes parallel to (010).
