Food Allergy - Alexander K C Leung - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Food Allergy - Alexander K C Leung - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Food allergy is an adverse reaction resulting from an inappropriate immunological response to a food antigen. It usually presents itself as a multi-system involvement. Definitive treatment of food allergy is strict elimination of the offending food from the diet. Symptomatic reactivity to food allergens is generally very specific, and patients rarely react to more than one food in a botanical or animal species. If elimination diets are prescribed, care must be taken to ensure that they are palatable and nutritionally adequate. Patients must have a good knowledge of foods containing the allergen and must be taught to scrutinise the labels of all packaged food carefully. This book examines the effects of food allergies, as well as the various treatments that are available for this condition.

Food Safety & Consumption - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Molecular detection is arguably one of the fastest growing areas in current laboratory-based food pathogen screening and identification. Chapter One discusses how growth of the so called omics technologies has, over the last decade, led to a gradual migration away from the one test, one pathogen paradigm, toward multiplex approaches to foodborne pathogen detection and identification, which have led to significant improvements in food safety. Chapter Two covers the antimicrobial potential of metals against foodborne pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and molds as well as the mechanism(s) behind their antimicrobial effect. Chapter Three links various challenges in food processing companies from legislative to company specific to the poor adoption of acknowledged quality assurance standards and guidelines, improvement and assessment of FSMS in developing countries. In Chapter Four, the authors demonstrate that there exist conspicuous cohort effects in favour of the older generations, born before the high economic growth started in 1960, in at-home consumption of fresh fish in Japan and that even the older segments of the population, such as those who will be above their 50s in 2025, are predicted to eat substantially less fish than in the past.

Maintaining a Healthy Diet - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book is a focus on the USDA and other public health agencies that have a long history of disseminating information about why and how to make food choices that promote health and prevent disease. Since 1980, recommendations on attaining adequate nutrition also include information about the benefits of maintaining a healthy body weight and limiting consumption of nutrients linked to chronic diseases. On the other side of the table, food manufacturers and marketers have discovered that certain psychological cues, such as packaging and presentation, are efficient ways to increase consumption of their products. These approaches have not been widely used in public health efforts aimed at improving diet quality and reducing body weight. The sharp increase in overweight and obesity among Americans has occurred concurrently with increased awareness and publicity regarding the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Examining this phenomenon provides an opportunity to incorporate elements of behavioural economics into consumer food choice analysis. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

Listeriosis Outbreaks - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Listeriosis Outbreaks - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen transmitted to humans through ingested food. This bacterium is responsible for human listeriosis, an extremely serious infection with a high mortality rate. In Listeriosis Outbreaks: Symptoms, Risk Factors and Treatment, the authors study the symptoms, risk factors and treatment of human listeriosis. L. monocytogenes is more deadly than other common food-borne pathogens such as the Campylobacter species, Salmonella enteritidis and Vibrio species. The authors have focused on listeriosis and the virulence factors of this pathogen for several years, performing a clinical study in collaboration with health institutions from two regions in northern Spain, Cantabria and Gipuzkoa. Consequently, biomarkers of listeriosis have been identified that may be used to study the disease evolution and trace the susceptibility to infection of specific high-risk groups. Following this, emphasis is placed on the symptoms of listeriosis in game birds in order to provide a description of various forms of the disease. Specific subjects are discussed in depth, such as the etiology of the disease, epidemiology, economic significance, hosts, transmission, incubation period, clinical signs, lesions, diagnostic procedures, principle of disease prevention, treatment and significance in public health. This compilation also reviews literature which may help readers assess large-scale aspects of this antimicrobial treatment for limiting the microbial contamination of food and improving the safety of the food supply, minimizing the risk of foodborne infections. In closing, the listeriosis outbreaks linked to the consumption of ready-to-eat fresh fruits and vegetables are presented, along with the physical and transcriptional organization of stress-associated response mechanisms.

Helper T Cells - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Helper T Cells - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Helper T Cells: Types, Functions and New Research presents current research in the Tfh cell research field with a special focus on the maintenance of TFH cells and their fate once the immune response has resolved. Whereas early steps of Tfh cell generation have been the subject of intense research in recent years, much less is known about signals controlling Tfh cells in late phases of the germinal center reaction and their differentiation into long-term memory cells. The authors also discuss emerging evidence that CD4+ T cells orchestrate antitumor immunity by providing critical immunological help to B cells, facilitating isotype switching and affinity maturation, and CD8+ T cells, promoting effector and memory differentiation, as well as shaping innate immunity and the tumor microenvironment. While preventing autoimmunity, selective CD4+ T-cell tolerance also compromises immunity to malignant cells that express primarily self-antigens by eliminating CD4+ T-cell help for B-cell, CD8+ T-cell, and innate immune responses. Therefore, the authors suggest that the goal of cancer immunotherapeutics should be increasingly focused on overcoming the CD4+ T-cell tolerance barrier to negate the effects of tolerance-driven immune suppression and maximize antitumor responses. Next, data is presented showing that AIT reduces the expression of CD40L glycoprotein on T CD4+ cells from patients with pollen or Hymenoptera venom allergy when were treated with specific immunotherapy compared to patients not subject to treatment. The function of CD4 T lymphocytes in the development of allergy is discussed, along with the recent results obtained about the impact of AIT on CD40L expression on T helper lymphocytes of patients.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an entity whose diagnosis is not always easy. The PID comprises a wide range of clinical forms ranging from banal to severe disease processes that compromise the life of the patient. The etiologic diagnosis is not always possible, because the germs responsible cannot always be detected by the usual culture medium, which is why the use of molecular biology techniques is required. The classical definition of PID is a secondary infection of the female genital tract, due to infection of a sexually transmitted disease like Chlamydia trachomatis, or Neisseria gonorrhea. This notion is being displaced by the concept of PID as a secondary infection by a germ from the altered vaginal flora. The interpretation of complementary tests is difficult because severe cases can present with normal analytical profiles, and an absence of findings on imaging tests. Usually, when an image of pelvic abscess is observed, it usually indicates a failure of medical treatments; however, it is possible to perform a step prior to surgical treatment by ultrasound-guided puncture of the abscess. The use of laparoscopy in the PID is very important for both diagnosis and treatment when there is a failure of drug therapy. An early approach to the disease is essential to prevent damage in the female genital tract that will compromise the fertility of the patient in the future.

Numerical Modeling, Prediction of Ship Maneuvering and Hydrodynamics during Inland Waterway Transport - Peng Du - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc -

Numerical Modeling, Prediction of Ship Maneuvering and Hydrodynamics during Inland Waterway Transport - Peng Du - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc -

In this work, ship hydrodynamics during inland waterway transport and ship manoeuvring are investigated using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) based on OpenFoam. Validation and verification studies are carried out for the mesh convergence, time step convergence, sensitivity to turbulence models and dynamic mesh techniques. A quaternion-based 6DoF motion solver is implemented for the trim and sinkage predictions. Environmental effects on several inland vessels (convoy 1, convoy 2, tanker) are studied using the validated numerical models. Three important aspects, the confinement effect of the waterway, head-on encounter, and ship-bridge pile interaction are simulated. The testing conditions cover a wide range, including various channel dimensions, water depths, ship draughts and speeds. The ship resistance, wave pattern, Kelvin angle and wave elevation at specific positions are investigated as functions of these parameters. Ship manoeuvring is investigated using virtual captive model tests based on the MMG (Mathematical Maneuvering Group) model. An actuator disk is implemented to replace the real propeller. Open water test, rudder force test, OTT (Oblique Towing Tank test) and CMT (Circular Motion Test) of a KVLCC2 model are carried out to obtain the hydrodynamic coefficients of the propeller, rudder and ship hull. Using the obtained coefficients, system-based manoeuvring simulations are carried out and validated using the free running test data. These studies reproduce real ship tests and thus prove the validity of our numerical models. As a result, the numerical solver is promising in ship hydrodynamics and marine engineering simulations.

Bioeconomic and Policy Aspects of Future Sustainable Biofuel Production - Shyamal Roy - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Bioeconomic and Policy Aspects of Future Sustainable Biofuel Production - Shyamal Roy - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book states developments in the bioenergy market and related policies. Recent bioenergy developments, often induced by policies, lead to a greater connection between energy and agricultural markets and influenced relative food and feed prices and land-use changes. An analytical framework is explained that places bioenergy within the bioeconomy. The impacts of supply push and demand pull polices are discussed, and the reasons for policy interventions are explained. The effectiveness of policy intervention is likely to increase if they are directly linked to a target such as the reduction of emissions or the stimulation of economic growth. Because the bioeconomy is an immature or infant industry, policies that temporarily encourage its development might be analyzed. Technological change and full biomass utilization for food, feed, energy, materials and chemicals may lead to a competitive bio-economy sector. Regulation can possibly deal with indirect effects of bioenergy such as social (land grabbing) and environmental effects (land, water, biodiversity). Given the importance of private sector investments in the development of biotechnologies, excessive regulation might create a disincentive to innovation
