“…No fewer than 80 species disappeared from New Zealand and the Hawaiian Islands alone, severely reducing the richness of their native avifaunas. If this pattern holds for the numerous oceanic islands that are still paleontologically unexplored, then the species richness of birds before the spread of Homo sapiens in Oceania must have been much greater than current estimates of slightly more than 9000 avian species in the world (13).…”

Bones from a stratified sedimentary deposit in the Puu Naio Cave site on Maui, Hawaiian Islands, reveal the late Holocene extinction of 19 species of birds. The age of the sediment and associated fauna was determined by direct radiocarbon dating (tandem particle accelerator-mass spec. trometer; TAMS) of amino acids extracted from bones weighing as little as 450 mg. The 14C dates indicate that sediment has been accumulating in the lava tube for at least the last 7750 years, a suitable time frame for testing the hypothesis that Holocene extinction on islands began after human colonization. Despite growing evidence that a worldwide wave of extinctions coincided with human colonization of oceanic islands, little radiometric data have been available to date the extinction of most small fossil vertebrates on islands. The TAMS technique of dating purified collagen from the bones of small vertebrates could lead to vastly improved chronologies of extinction for oceanic islands where catastrophic mid-to late-Holocene extinction is expected or known to have occurred. Chronologies derived from nonarcheological sites that show continuous sedimentation, such as the Puu Naio Cave deposit, may also yield key evidence on the timing of earliest human settlement of Oceania.To a much greater degree than previously suspected, recent paleontological research has implicated prehistoric humans in the rapid degradation of insular ecosystems, with accompanying extinctions of organisms. Extensive Holocene extinctions of vertebrates occurred on oceanic islands as diverse and distant as Madagascar

“…We therefore classified the reaction as an anaphylactoid reaction since a non-IgE-mediated immunologic reaction remained possible. In this case, sensitization of lymphocytes may have resulted from exposure to intact rice protein that occurred because either ingested macromolecules are more likely to be absorbed at this early age (8) or the mucosal barrier was disrupted by viral-induced injury.…”

“…For diagnosis of food hypersensitivity, the double-blind food challenge has been considered to be the gold standard (15,16). Due to the severity of .symptoms in our patient, a single-blind challenge was performed as suggested by other authors (8,17). Our challenge was conducted safely with graded low doses of rice, close monitoring, intravenous access, and readied medication.…”

“…The possibility of inadvertent exposure is increased in children fed mixed foods in which some ingredients are not readily apparent. Although desensitization to food allergens is possible, it has not become an established approach with food hypersensitivities (8). We trained the parents in use of subcutaneous epinephrine (Epipen) and antihistamine to attenuate the reaction and allow sufficient time to reach an emergency facility .…”

“…The significance of serum antibodies in the pathogenesis of food protein intolerance is frequently debated. Since serum antibodies to food proteins are detectable in the majority of infants and young children, many view such antibodies as physiologic (22,24). It is often assumed that normal infants have increased levels of serum antibodies against food protein, compared with older children and adults, because of enhanced intestinal absorption of the dietary proteins (1,25).…”

To evaluate the role of food‐specific antibody response to soy protein and its fractions in patients with soy protein intolerance, allergen‐specific IgG and IgE to these proteins were measured by enzyme‐linked immuno‐sorbent assays (ELISAS) and immunoblotting. A crude soy extract and the 7S, 11S, and whey fractions were isolated from commercial defatted soy flakes. Of 23 patients who underwent standardized soy challenges, seven were positive. The ELISA results showed no statistically different responses between the challenge‐positive and challenge‐negative groups in IgG or IgE specific to either the crude soy extract or the 7S, 11S, and whey fractions (p > .3 for all variables). In comparing the soy‐positive patients, the level of IgE specific for 7S and 11S was significantly different compared with whey; the level of IgE specific for crude soy extract and 7S was significantly different compared with whey. The immunoblots reveal that IgG and IgE are present in varying amounts to multiple fractions of the soy protein. The study does not provide evidence for a pathogenic role of serum food‐specific antibodies in soy protein intolerance.
