Published 1995Staff ViewISSN: 1398-9995Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: IgE-antibody reactivity to boiled Atlantic shrimp (Pandalus borealis) and German cockroach (Blattella germanica) of sera from 89 patients, sensitive to one or the other, was investigated with an enzymatic immunoassay for specific IgE detection (CAP-FEIA System, Pharmacia, Sweden). IgE serum levels to both antishrimp and anticockroach allergens were found to be positive in 76 of the 89 (85.4%) tested sera. A positive anticockroach IgE was very rare in the absence of detectable antishrimp IgE (five of 89 sera). Linear regression analysis on antishrimp and anti-German cockroach IgE levels-log plot revealed correlation coefficient (r) of 0.73. Inhibition experiments showed that boiled Atlantic shrimp extract inhibited CAP with German cockroach, and vice versa. Immunoblotting showed the strongest IgE binding for both allergenic extracts between 30 and 43 kDa. By blot inhibition, the binding capacity of German cockroach was totally-abolished by Atlantic shrimp extract, while German cockroach extract only partially IgE binding to Atlantic shrimp. Cross-reactivity exists between shrimp, an important food allergen, and German cockroach, which has an increasing role in allergic asthma. It could be important to determine the clinical significance of cross-allergy to both allergens, in which exposures occur in different ways.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1432-2072Keywords: Smoking ; Nicotine ; Habituation ; Electrodermal activity ; Neuromuscular activitySource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Abstract This study assessed the role of smoking-related cues on habituation of electrodermal responding and facial neuromuscular responses in male smokers. In three of the four groups, subjects smoked for the first five trials followed by the laboratory arithmetic task. On the sixth trial one group of subjects continued to smoke nicotine cigarettes, while the context was changed for subjects in the other groups by 1) omitting the pharmacological cues (smoking a non-nicotine cigarette) or 2) omitting both the pharmacological and behavioral cues (not smoking). Subjects in a non-smoking control group did not smoke before any of the six trials. During trials 1–5, smoking significantly increased the rate of habituation of electrodermal activity. On trial 6, electrodermal activity significantly increased for subjects who had a change in smoking context, whether it involved removal of pharmacological or smoking plus pharmacological cues. No differences in electrodermal activity were observed between subjects in these groups compared to non-smoking control subjects. Smoking increased zygomatic activity (predominant during smiling) during trials 1–5, consistent with an interpretation of the positively reinforcing nature of smoking. Corrugator activity (predominant during frowning or concentration) increased for subjects who had both the pharmacological and behavioral smoking cues omitted on trial 6.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1573-8248Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, NutritionDescription / Table of Contents: Résumé De novembre 1976 à octobre 1979, on a échantillonné mensuellement dans les zones urbaines du Comté de Broward, Floride, les populations de la mouche noire des citrus,Aleurocanthus woglumi Ashby et de ses parasites. Pendant cette période les parasites,Amitus hesperidum Silvestri etProspaltella opulenta Silvestri se sont établis et ont limité les populations deA. woglumi. Une succession dans les parasites a été notée:A. hesperidum fut abondant d'abord et remplacé ensuite en fréquence parP. opulenta. Les 2 espèces ont continué à coexister et causent la mortalité des faibles populations du ravageur malgré les traitements chimiques utilisés pour l'éradication; ce qui montre la possibilité d'une lutte intégrée contreA. woglumi maintenant que ce ravageur est bien établi en Floride.Notes: Abstract From November, 1976 until October, 1979 citrus blackfly,Aleurocanthus woglumi Ashby and its parasite populations were sampled monthly in urban areas of Broward County, Florida. During this period, the parasites,Amitus hesperidum Silvestri andProspaltella opulenta Silvestri became established and exerted control onA. woglumi populations. Parasite succession was noted in thatA. hesperidum was first abundant and later replaced in abundance byP. opulenta. The 2 parasite species continued to coexist and exert mortality on low pest populations in spite of chemical spraying used for eradication showing that integrated control ofA. woglumi is a definite possibility now that the pest is well established in Florida.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1435-4373Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Abstract An epidemiological survey was made of rotavirus infection in a children's hospital by determining changes in rotaviral genome patterns by means of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In 180 fecal samples collected between December 1978 and June 1981, 53 distinct patterns were obtained belonging to 13 different types. Two of these patterns dominated in endemic nosocomial infections of neonates until 1981, when one of them was replaced by a third pattern. Two epidemics of diarrhea in the neonatal wards were associated with an endemic and an exogenic rotavirus strain respectively. The latter was not established as an endemic strain. Three patterns were found exclusively in isolates from infants with nosocomial infection and one pattern was found with a doubled fifth segment, suggesting a double infection. The latter findings support the conjecture that there is reassortment of rotavirus genomic segments in vivo.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
