    Abstract Background and objective: Sunflower seed is one of the most common edible seeds and its consumption is growing. Case reports of sunflower seed allergy have been described since the 1970s. However, there are few data on the prevalence and clinical manifestations of sunflower seed allergy. To improve understanding of sunflower seed allergy.
    Methods: We evaluated the clinical and immunological features of patients with sunflower seed allergy diagnosed in the Allergy Department of a tertiary hospital in Madrid over a 5-years period.
    Results: Forty-seven patients reported adverse reactions after ingestion of sunflower seed and had specific sensitization to sunflower seed determined by skin prick test (median 8 mm) or specific IgE (median 1.10 kUA/L). Most had an adult-onset reaction to sunflower seed preceded by a history of atopy and other food allergies, predominantly to peach, peanut and nuts. Clinical presentation of sunflower seed allergy ranged from mild to severe, with a high proportion of patients suffering severe reactions, often undertreated. A variability in the severity of symptoms was seen on repeated exposures to sunflower seed on a same patient. Levels of sunflower seed IgE were strongly correlated with levels of IgE to non-specific lipid transfer proteins, while no significant differences were found in the severity of the reactions according to sensitization to those proteins.
    Conclusion: Our findings reveal a variability of clinical presentations of sunflower seed allergy on repeated exposures and an underuse of epinephrine in anaphylaxis. We highlight the importance of strict avoidance of sunflower seed and accurate prescription and administration of epinephrine in allergic patients.

    Abstract Study objectives: Our study examined the association between insomnia, and cognitive as well as functional outcomes in a cohort of ischemic stroke patients. We evaluated which stroke features were associated with the development of post-stroke insomnia and how it might affect stroke prognosis.
    Methods: 157 ischemic stroke patients were retrospectively evaluated during their hospitalization in a Portuguese Stroke Unit and re-assessed two years afterwards, at a follow up appointment. We collected data including clinical variables, vascular risk factors, insomnia developed after stroke, use of psychotropic drugs, further sleep studies, specific measures of cognitive function, severity of stroke, and functional performance.
    Results: Mean age of study participants was 69.54 ± 12.71 years and 48.4% were male. Post stroke insomnia was diagnosed in 45/157 (28.6%) of patients. Compared to those subjects with no evidence of insomnia, insomnia was associated with worse neurological severity, lower functional independence and higher disability scores at admission and follow up. Male gender (p = 0.006) and previous minor vascular events (p = 0.013) were significantly associated with the development of insomnia after ischemic stroke. There were no significant differences between development of insomnia in patients suffering from anterior circulation stroke when compared with those of the posterior circulation.
    Conclusion: Insomnia may have a negative influence on neurological recovery from ischemic stroke, and it seems to associate with worse functional and cognitive outcome of these patients. Screening and appropriate management of post-stroke insomnia should become part of the therapeutic strategy to optimize outcomes of this potentially devastating disease.

    Abstract The design of functional foods through 3D printing is proposed here as one of the most appropriate technologies to provide closer food personalization for the population. However, it is essential to study the properties of the biomaterials intended to be printed. This work will evaluate the incorporation of rosehip as a functional ingredient in a gluten-free dough. Three types of dough (control, rosehip, and encapsulated rosehip) were printed in a rectangular figure of dimensions 7 cm long, 2 cm wide, and 1, 2, and 3 cm high. Changes in printed figures before and after baking were evaluated by image analysis. Physicochemical properties, total phenols (TP), antioxidant capacity (AC), and total carotenoids (TC) were determined both in the pre-printed doughs and in the printed and baked samples. The bread enriched with rosehips presented more orange colors in dough and crumbs. They were also more acidic than control, probably due to the ascorbic acid content of rosehip. The addition of rosehip generally makes the product more resistant to breakage, which could be due to the fiber content of the rosehip. It was observed that the incorporation of rosehip notably improved the functional properties of the bread.

    Abstract Three-dimensional food printing is one of the modern techniques for food customization. The difficulty of this technique lies in the formulation of new matrices. These new formulations must have good extrusion characteristics and, at the same time, maintain the structure once printed. These qualities are related to textural and rheological properties. Printability studies are those whose objective is to know the above properties. Some authors have correlated printability with rheological and physicochemical parameters. The aim of this study was to characterize three gels to test prediction models and to determine the most important rheological and textural parameters (G', G″, Tanδ, maxF, average) in printability. The formulations studied were bovine gelatin (4%) with kappa-carrageenan (0.5%) (Gb + K), porcine gelatin (5%) plus iota-carrageenan (2%) (Gp + I), and methylcellulose (4%) (MC). The samples were characterized by an oscillatory test for the rheological properties and an extrusion test for the textural properties. In addition, the density was obtained to apply the predictive models and correlate the rheological and textural parameters to determine their influence. Gp + I and Gb + K showed higher values of maximum force in the extrusion test than MC, but MC had less deviation in the mean force during the test. All the samples showed a predominantly elastic behavior and damping factor (Tanδ) between 0.14 (Gb + K) and 0.37 (MC). It was observed that the tangent of the phase angle (Tanδ) had a large positive influence on the maximum and average force studied in the extrusion tests. The sample results did not match 100% with the predictions made from the models. It was possible to print samples that were higher in height without obtaining deformations over time of more than 5%. Further work is needed to optimize models and parameters for more accurate prediction.

    Abstract The process of 3D food printing is a rapidly growing field that involves the use of specialized 3D printers to produce food items with complex shapes and textures. This technology allows the creation of customized, nutritionally balanced meals on demand. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of apricot pulp content on printability. Additionally, the degradation of bioactive compounds of gels before and after printing was evaluated to analyze the effect of the process. For this proposal, physicochemical properties, extrudability, rheology, image analysis, Texture Profile Analysis (TPA), and bioactive compounds content were evaluated. The rheological parameters lead to higher mechanical strength and, thus, a decrease in elastic behavior before and after 3D printing as the pulp content increases. An increase in strength was observed when the pulp content increased; thus, sample gels with 70% apricot pulp were more rigid and presented better buildability (were more stable in their dimensions). On the other hand, a significant (

    Abstract Background: Early in the history of kidney transplantation, short-term graft survival was low. Yet some have had excellent long-term survival. Herein, we describe characteristics of pediatric recipients with > 40 years of graft survival currently alive with a functioning first graft.
    Methods: We reviewed all pediatric (age < 18 years) kidney transplants performed at the University of Minnesota between January 1, 1970, and December 31, 1979 (n = 148), to identify all recipients currently alive with a functioning first graft. Data are presented as medians with interquartile ranges (IQR) and proportions.
    Results: We identified 10 recipients with > 40-year graft survival (median follow-up: 45.0 years (IQR: 43.1, 48.1)). The median age at transplant was 13.8 years (IQR: 5.1, 16.3). All recipients were white; half were male. Of the 10, 4 had glomerulonephritis, 2 had congenital anomalies of the kidney and the urinary tract, 2 had congenital nephrotic syndrome, 1 had Alport syndrome, and 1 had cystic kidney disease as kidney failure cause. Nine patients received a living-related donor transplant, and 1 patient received a deceased-donor transplant. The median estimated glomerular filtration rate at 20 years post-transplant was 79.9 (IQR: 72.3, 98.4); at 30 years, 67.7 (IQR: 63.2, 91.8); and at 40 years, 80.3 ml/min/1.73 m
    Conclusion: Pediatric kidney transplant recipients may achieve > 4 decades of graft survival. Cancer is a common complication warranting vigilant screening.
