The development of modern gene technologies allows for the expression recombinant proteins in non-native hosts. Diversity translational and post-translational modification pathways between species could potentially lead to discrete changes molecular architecture expressed protein subsequent cellular function antigenicity. Here, we show that transgenic a plant (α-amylase inhibitor-1 from common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Tendergreen)) host (transgenic pea (Pisum sativum L.)) led...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death globally and in Australia, is sensitive to heat exposure. This study assesses burden CVD attributable high temperatures across Australia projects future context climate change. Disability-adjusted life years for CVD, including lost lived with disability, were sourced from Australian Burden Disease database. A meta-regression model was constructed using location-specific predictors relative risks prior literature estimate mortality...

Individuals with food allergy often present uritcaria and atopic dermatitis. Indeed, susceptibility to may predispose the development of these cutaneous allergic disorders. Recently, we developed a model allergy, whereby oral consumption [pea Pisum sativum L.; expressing alpha-amylase inhibitor-1 (alphaAI) from common bean Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv Tendergreen (pea-alphaAI)] promotes T helper cell type 2 (Th2) inflammatory response predisposes reactions following subsequent allergen exposure....

Abstract Background With high temperature becoming an increasing health risk due to a changing climate, it is important quantify the scale of problem. However, estimating burden disease (BoD) attributable can be challenging differences in patterns across geographical regions and data accessibility issues. Methods We present methodological framework that uses Köppen–Geiger climate zones refine exposure levels quantifies difference between observed temperatures what would have been if...

While the GBD provides country-specific estimates and is important for international comparisons, several countries, including Australia, have undertaken their own national burden of disease studies.These studies offer particular advantages, capacity to add diseases risk factors interest, calculate specific population groups take advantage detailed data methodological approaches more appropriate that country.Australia has a 25.2 million people.Overall, Australians similar or better health...

Abstract Objectives To assess the population health impact of high temperatures on workplace and safety by estimating burden heat‐attributable occupational injury in Australia. Study design, setting Retrospective observational study; estimation Australia attributable to during 2014–19, based Safe Work (work‐related traumatic fatalities workers’ compensation databases) Australian Institute Health Welfare data (Australian Burden Disease National Hospital Morbidity databases), a meta‐analysis...
