Inzulin-túlérzékenységi reakció vagy valami más? Tanulságok egy eset kapcsán = Lessons from a case of suspected insulin allergy

Today, insulin hypersensitivity reactions are rare side effects of insulin therapy. In two-thirds of the suspected insulin allergy cases, the clinical symptoms are not related to insulin. The authors report the case of a 64-year-old female patient, by whom lymphocyte tarnsformation test (LIT) has been used to elucidate the background of allergic symptoms developed during insulin therapy. The performed LTT did not support hypersensitivity to insulin, however, the positive protamine test raised the suspicion of fish allergy. Complementary immunoserology also highlighted the coexistence of previously unrevealed thyroid disease. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case report in Hungary that attempts to address the real cause of a suspected hypersensitivity reaction to insulin by using LTT

Impactful and measurable progress on climate-smart agriculture in corporate value chains

The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and its partners have an ambition to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture and land use change by 50% and make 50% more nutritious food available by 2030 (including by reducing food loss and waste), while strengthening the climate resilience of agricultural landscapes and farming communities. Companies must accelerate progress to meet these ambitions, but measurement of progress has been limited by the availability of data, particularly on upstream and downstream GHG emissions in supply chains, climate resilience and food loss and waste. To address these gaps, WBCSD and CCAFS convened a workshop at the University of Vermont, in partnership with the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), World Resources Institute (WRI) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). This info note captures the key lessons which emerged from the workshop
