Resveratrol for dry eye disease - Hope or Hype?

Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial and common ophthalmic disease that has a tremendous effect on the quality of life. It is now becoming a public health concern because of our changing lifestyle and environment. The current treatment modalities, artificial tear substitutes, and anti-inflammatory therapy are directed at dry eye symptoms. One of the major drivers for DED is oxidative stress, and the polyphenol group of natural compounds has the potential to reduce the same. Resveratrol, widely found in the skin of grapes and nuts, has antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. It has…

Immunogenetic, Molecular and Microbiotic Determinants of Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Clinical Practice-A New Perspective of an Old Disease.

Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, allergic disease associated with a T-lymphocyte response inducing esophageal eosinophilic infiltration in the esophagus. Inflammation and tissue fibrosis are responsible for the main clinical symptoms such as food impaction and dysphagia. The etiopathogenesis is multifactorial in which genetic and environmental factors coexist. The most common trigger is a non-IgE-mediated food allergy to milk, wheat, egg, soybean, nuts, fish, and seafood. The second factor we focus on is the contribution of genetic variation to the risk of EoE, describing the expr…

The effect of tobacco expenditure on expenditure shares in South African households: A genetic matching approach.

This paper examines whether tobacco expenditure leads to the crowding out or crowding in of different expenditure items in South Africa. We … et shares towards food items than non-smoking households. Specifically, we find that dairy, fruits, nuts and oils are displaced in favour of tobacco expenditure in the two poorest quartiles. Unsurprisingly, food items are never displaced for households in the top two quartiles, given these households' greater access to resources. Like other studies in …

Acute effects of diets rich in almonds and walnuts on endothelial function.

OBJECTIVE: Omega-3 fatty acids, especially alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which are present in nuts may reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, by changing vascular inflammation and improving endothelial dysfunction. The objective of the study was to evaluate the acute effects of two different diets, one containing walnuts and the other almonds on endothelial function. METHODS: Twenty-seven overweight volunteers underwent a randomized 2-period, crossover, controlled intervention study. The subjects were given either walnut or almond diets which varied in monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and p…

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.

A 51-year-old woman with a history of asthma and Hashimoto's thyroiditis presented to the dermatology service with a chief complaint of "itchy bumpy rashes" that persisted beyond 24 hours. She noted that, 3 days prior to the onset of urticaria, a pyrroloquinoline quinone supplement had been started. The urticaria was accompanied by variable episodes of transient facial swelling and difficulty breathing. The patient noted that exposure to fish, nuts, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs triggered facial swelling. Other reported findings included a 5-year history of diarrhea, sense of memory…

Управление и уход за африканскими общежитиями (Graphiurus kelleni).

Африканские общежития (Graphiurus spp.) представляют собой небольшие ночные грызуны, которые в настоящее время редко встречаются в лабораторных условиях. Их использование может возрасти, поскольку недавно было доказано, что они развивают инфекцию с вирусом обезьянопокс и могут оказаться ценной моделью животных для исследований инфекционных заболеваний. Поскольку африканское общежитие не доступно на рынке, для производства животных, необходимых для исследований, требуется обширная колония разведения. Изменения в муже, которые привели к увеличению производства потомства, были связаны с использов
