Eosinophil efferocytosis, a process of engulfment and removal of apoptotic eosinophils by professional phagocytes, has been described in several chronic inflammatory disorders (such as asthma) in human medicine. Eosinophil efferocytosis was recognized in naturally occurring chronic inflammatory...

Background: The allergy- and asthma-protective farm effect is mediated by numerous factors. Especially dust from cattle stables and raw cow's milk show beneficial properties, suggesting a bovine protein to be involved. As a major milk protein and member of the lipocalin family, β-lactoglobulin...

Background: Oral food challenges (OFC) are required to diagnose food allergies but are resource-intensive. Objective: To reduce the need for OFCs, we sought to determine serum specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) cutoff levels for cow's milk and its major allergens predicting oral milk challenge...

Objective: Scoping review on IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy prevention. Data Sources: Literature search of PubMed database and gray literature. Study Selections: Peer-reviewed relevant observational and randomized controlled studies in the pediatric population in the English language were selected ...

During the last decades, the world has witnessed a dramatic increase in allergy prevalence. Epidemiological evidence shows that growing up on a farm is a protective factor, which is partly explained by the consumption of raw cow's milk. Indeed, recent studies show inverse associations between raw ...

Background: Dietary and environmental factors may influence tolerance acquisition in food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP). This retrospective observational study explored the role of maternal diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding in tolerance acquisition in infantile FPIAP....

There are controversies on the association of childhood allergic diseases with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The aim of this study was to examine the association between food allergy, cow's milk allergy (CMA), and asthma with pediatric IBD in Iranian population. This case-control study was...

Background: Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is a novel allergen-specific treatment for food allergies. Objective: To investigate the effect of OIT on blocking antibodies, T cell regulation, and cytokine response during immunoglobulin (Ig)E-mediated cow's milk allergy (CMA) treatment. Methods: A total of...

Cow's milk is one of the most common food allergens among children. Oral food challenge tests determine the threshold dose of allergens, but have not been standardized. To reduce the severe reactions, we developed a practical model of the test. We studied 111 high-risk patients who underwent a...

This issue contains proceedings on effects of shade location and protection from direct solar radiation on the behaviour of Holstein cows; heat loss efficiency and HSPs gene expression of Nelore cows in tropical climate conditions; physiological responses and thermal equilibrium of Jersey dairy ...
