The Leopold Museum is home to the largest and most eminent Schiele collection in the world. It comprises 42 paintings and 187 works on paper by Egon Schiele (1890–1918).
The new presentation of the collection illustrates Schiele's artistic progression through a chronological hanging of the Leopold Museum's works. The exhibition starts with the young Schiele and traces his development from being influenced by Gustav Klimt to his radically expressive phase, which was particularly esteemed by Rudolf Leopold, closing with the works from his »late oeuvre« created shortly before Schiele's untimely death.
The images shall only be used for coverage of the Leopold Museum and may not be used for commercial purposes. Use for media free of charge.

- Big wide pad for short wide guysReview by Allgood
Price Value Quality
Only complaint is the pad lacks an insulation layer besides of course the air inside it. I fins if I use my sit light pad or torso pad form the back of kumo I can insulate the cold ground and provide an extra level of protection for the pad. (Posted on 7/23/15)

I got the 1/8" Thinlight pad to use on conjunction with the regular size Air Beam. I'm 5'4" and it's a bit short for full body use, but I adapted by using my pack under my head as part of my pillow system. I use the Thinlight pad under the Air Beam when it's hot out and I don't want any R value. An added benefit is that it prevents any slippage on sloping ground. When it's cooler I use the Thinlight on top of the Air Beam. I've used this combination down to the low 20's and have been perfectly comfortable. I've found by under inflating the pad, I don't experience any hip pain. The width is quite narrow, so I recommend the wide for larger folks. (Posted on 2/11/15)

At the end of last month we, along with just about every other tech news site on the planet, were captivated by the somewhat disasterful (yes, I made that word up) performance of a 3D printer which printed using an aerosol-like can of Easy Cheese. The creation was the brainchild of California College of the Arts (CCA) Hybrid Lab manager Andrew Maxwell-Parish.

At San Francisco's California College of the Arts (CCA) students use Othermill in their cutting-edge Hybrid Lab, a multidisciplinary creative technology lab that makes tools of engineering accessible to students in art and design. Students prototype circuit boards for computers, and wearables for mechatronics. Instructors said it has lowered the barrier to getting started with electronics.

Andrew Maxwell Parish is a lab manager at California College of the Arts. He's apparently got at thing for Easy Cheese as well: He claims on his website that he's been trying to convince his students to build an Easy Cheese 3D printer for over two years.
Posted on Thursday, April 2, 2015 by Laura Braun
The experiment comes from the creative mind of Andrew Maxwell-Parish, manager of the Hybrid Lab at the California College of the Arts. Previously, he designed an interactive tip jar called the Wu-Tang Can and a High Five Camera for capturing high fives with strangers.

Andrew Maxwell-Parish did just that, making our printable processed cheese dreams come true. Maxwell-Parish, manager of California College of the Arts' Hybrid Lab, had his printer give a cracker a healthy amount of cheese, draw some cheese squares, and attempt to build a cheese box.

Because squirting cheese product out of a can isn't enough fun, Andrew Maxwell-Parish, the manager of the Hybrid Lab at California College of the Arts, created a robot to do it for you. Unfortunately, the machine is still in development. Watch the hilariously frustrating test run, below.

That's exactly what one man namedAndrew Maxfield-Parish had been wondering. Maxfield-Parish, who manages a creative technology and interactive electronics maker space at California College of the Arts, has a knack himself for making incredible gadgets. As a graduate of mechanical engineering at the University of Minnesota, many of his projects are well ahead of their time.

But Kloehn didn't set out to make any political or symbolic statement. As long as he can remember, he loved building things. At first, growing up in Denver, it was forts. After getting his undergraduate degree at Evergreen State College, then attending California College of Arts and Crafts (now called California College of the Arts), he had a fantasy of building an "art utopia" in Oakland, filled with artist friends.
Posted on Monday, March 30, 2015 by Laura Braun
The engineer and California College of the Arts Hybrid Lab manager has put together plenty of quirky creations of his own, but for two years, he's had the 3D cheese printer in the back of his mind. He tried to get his students to build it, but no one would.

Lujac Desautel has designed a yacht that is conceptually so obvious, it's hard to say why it doesn't exist yet. An architecture student at San Francisco California College of the Arts, Desautel designed this yacht as an entry to a young boat designers competition. This Young Designer of the Year Finalist (Boat International 2014) touts Legos and the natural landscape as his inspiration for Salt, the name he's given this luxury glass-hull yacht.

The author assesses the role played by the surface in selected nanoscience and nanotechnology (N&N) practices by examining the interaction between surfaces and their viewers. In N&N, issues of scale and perception challenge those involved in science-art projects, forcing them to engage with nano-objects and surfaces by using either highly specialized instruments or metaphors. The most interesting examples of nano-based artworks give the audience the opportunity to interact with N&N through haptic sensing.

There is a second world of drug research, a world in which patents do not exist and for-profit research is permanently moribund. Its history should stop 'reformers' in their tracks.
There is a second world of drug research, a world in which patents do not exist and for-profit research is permanently moribund. Its history should stop 'reformers' in their tracks.
Every so often, the debate over healthcare reform dwells on the pharmaceutical industry, particularly prices, costs, the benefits of expensive drugs, and sometimes, the benefits of the tens of billions of dollars spent annually on research and development in this most research-intensive of all industries. When talk turns to price controls or importing drugs at low prices dictated by foreign governments, it is usually met with arguments about the dangers of suppressing for-profit R&D. Then come the counterarguments to the effect that for-profit R&D is really not very productive, and we should avoid excessive hand-wringing about R&D incentives in a post-reform healthcare system.
These debates usually take for granted that no one can really know what life would be like without the pharmaceutical industry R&D enterprise. But in fact, we know quite a bit. That is because there is a second world of drug research, a world in which patents do not exist and for-profit research is necessarily moribund.
These thoughts were triggered when the Washington Post ran an excellent story on August 3 about vitamin D deficiencies among American youth, especially blacks and Mexican-Americans. The Wall Street Journal health blog is also very useful, with links to the Post article, academic journal articles, and more. Based on two new articles in the journal Pediatrics, plus interviews with the authors and other experts, the Post article featured some useful graphs and several quotes to the effect that there are good reasons to be alarmed at dangerously low average levels of vitamin D. Prominent among those dangers are higher rates of heart disease and diabetes. Oddly, the article did not mention cancer despite a considerable body of evidence that vitamin D can prevent cancer (see Jane Brody's story in the New York Times on February 19, 2008). This adds up to quite a tally of potential uses compared to a few decades ago when the entire list consisted of nothing but rickets, a bone disease caused by vitamin D deficiency.
Just about everyone in the scientific community knows why research is moving so slowly on such important topics. There is no intellectual property.
The real news is that so many serious conditions are now thought to be influenced by vitamin D and that there are so many ways that health might be improved by boosting vitamin D intake. For most people, that means taking a supplement in addition to eating fortified foods such as milk and, of course, getting sunlight without using too much sunscreen. The scientific literature has seen a small barrage of research in the past few years on vitamin D, most of it based on laboratory exercises or epidemiological studies that track diet, health, and other factors through time. The result is a treasure trove of enticing results which, if they pan out, would open the door to immense improvements in human health simply through increasing vitamin D intake.
Also arriving this week was the August 4 daily update from theheart.org, which described an article about fish oil in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The most important components of fish oil are omega-3 fatty acids. Again, a series of studies (mainly via laboratory or epidemiological research but in this case, supplemented by a few small clinical trials) has provided immensely interesting results. Essentially, it looks like fish oil in diets can dramatically reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease and therefore of heart attacks and even death. If these results pan out, then, again, science would open the door to immense improvements in human health through relatively simple changes in diet or dietary supplements (fish oil pills are on the market).
There are only two problems. First, we do not know for sure that either vitamin D or fish oil do what we hope they do. Enticing epidemiological and laboratory results often fail to pan out. That has happened to vitamin E, for example, in prevention trials for heart attacks. So the vitamin D and fish oil stories appropriately included quotes from doubters (just as qualified as the scientists who did the studies) who argued quite reasonably that epidemiological and laboratory research, even small clinical trials, simply cannot tell us whether dietary changes really can prevent cancer, heart disease, and so forth. Indeed, the frustration in the public health community on such matters is almost palpable.
Proving that the odds of a certain kind of birth defect could be dramatically reduced by folic acid also took decades. Does anyone think this kind of research would have taken so long if a drug company had owned the patent to folic acid?
The second problem is that it will be quite a while before we know what most want to know about vitamin D and fish oil. Research is proceeding very slowly on the most important front, the mounting of large-scale human trials necessary to provide definitive tests of the most essential hypotheses. These trials cost hundreds of millions of dollars to run, possibly even a few billion when one takes account of the difficulty of devising exactly the right kind of trials.
Just about everyone in the scientific community knows why research is moving so slowly on such important topics. There is no "intellectual property," i.e., no one owns patents on substances like fish oil and vitamin D, which were discovered and isolated decades or more ago. But that should be no problem if government steps in to fill the gap. After all, the main reason to fund the National Institutes of Health is to make up for the research deficits that arise from lack of private incentives to devise and explore important scientific hypotheses whose resolution would benefit public health. We tend to hear about the virtues of the NIH enterprise whenever Congress gets ready to do something that might undermine drug R&D incentives. Sure, private incentives are useful, as the story goes, but they are not essential. That is because we have NIH, run by smart scientists under the stewardship of a watchful Congress eager to push money at the solution of whatever would provide the biggest payoff for the health of voters. The implication is that private, for-profit research, despite its occasional triumphs, is not so very necessary after all.
The list of hugely important but unexploited research opportunities for the public sector is depressingly long.
But this public R&D option does not really hold up to even casual scrutiny. Vitamin D and fish oil are just two parts of a longstanding history that happened to pop up in the news this week. The list of hugely important but unexploited research opportunities for the public sector is depressingly long. Antibiotics are an example. Because even the most powerful drugs are beginning to encounter drug-resistant bacteria, medical literature is full of pleas for powerful new types of antibiotics. But that same literature makes clear that when a new antibiotic is approved, doctors will use it as little as possible in order to delay the development of yet more drug-resistant bacteria. That eats up patent life, greatly undermining private research incentives. Tuberculosis is another example. It has been decades since a new TB drug has been approved, despite thousands of deaths annually in poor nations where, tragically, there is scant payoff for new drug development. The creation of a malaria vaccine has also been glacially slow for essentially the same reason: a dearth of intellectual property and therefore of private R&D incentives. It took decades to demonstrate the ability of simple aspirin to prevent heart attacks—eventually saving millions of lives, although even more millions died in the meantime—even though many cardiologists had for years been taking their daily aspirin because scientific reasoning and a narrow research base suggested that this old drug would in fact prevent heart attacks. Proving that the odds of a certain kind of birth defect could be dramatically reduced by folic acid also took decades. Does anyone think this kind of research would have taken so long if a drug company had owned the patents to aspirin and folic acid? (The Bayer patent on aspirin died early in the 20th century.) In the meantime, the solution to one of the great riddles in all of cardiology apparently waits for the discovery of patentable drugs that safely increase HDL (the so-called "good" cholesterol, in contrast to LDL or "bad" cholesterol). One patented HDL-booster, torcetrapib from Pfizer, has failed, at a cost of more than a billion dollars to that firm. A substance that works could bring untold benefits to mankind, because the connections between heart disease seem even stronger for HDL than for LDL. Another example of unexploited research awaiting an intellectual-property foundation: ways to exploit what appears to be an extraordinary ability for ethanol (that is, alcohol that most of us drink) to prevent coronary heart disease.
The practical lesson in this brief excursion into scientific history is simple. Before we cripple for-profit pharmaceutical research—by implementing, say, an ill-conceived form of healthcare reform that severely limits the profits from new drug development—we need to make sure we have a good drug development substitute in place. And one thing we know from experience is that no such substitute now exists.

One of the St. Louis Cardinals' most talked about needs heading into the offseason concerned who would patrol the dirt around second base next season at Busch Stadium, but they might start the 2013 season and contend for a playoff spot with the same players who did that job in 2012. The Cardinals ended last season with Daniel Descalso as the starting second baseman and Pete Kozma as the starting shortstop. Descalso is a light-hitting, strong defensive player who can make great plays in the field and come up with a hit at a critical time. The problem is those moments don't happen often, and he can usually be counted on to hit near his career average of .245. Kozma was the Cardinals' first-round draft pick in 2007 and muddled his way through the minors for much of the next five years before the big club called him up when shortstop Rafael Furcal hurt his elbow Aug. 31 against the Washington Nationals. Kozma capitalized on his first opportunity for regular playing time in the big leag...

The Tokyo HackerSpace Brain Machine workshop was fantastic. So, our next THS adventure in community electronics hacking will be the Minty Boost charger for my iPhone and iPod.
You might wonder why since I already own several (3 actually) mini battery packs that I use with my iPhone. The answer is simple:
1) Minty Boost uses standard batteries that I can buy almost anywhere in a pinch.
2) The Minty Boost design is hacker-cool, and I can easily decorate it with robot logos.
3) I really like the sense of accomplishment that comes from making things by hand, and the look on peoples faces when they learn how it was made.
and, the real reason...
4) The Tokyo Hackerspace group is a real turn-on with sincere, open people who enjoy sharing their knowledge, experience, and encouragement.

Don't be so quick to blame Apple. The logo can still be removed. I'm still able to remove it in the iDVD/General preference pane. Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.

Here is the scenario:
1) I have a homepage.php that I use as a static page for my Front page.
2) I have a blog page that use the Default Template(index.php) as my static page for my Posts page.
I used two categories in my homepage.php that I want to exclude from blog page. So, I did this:
$catIDs = get_cat_ID( $cat_name='Featured' );
$catIDs .= ',-' . get_cat_ID( $cat_name='Services' );
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div <?php post_class(); ?>>
The content from those two categories don't show up on my blog page, but you can still navigate from post pagination.
Any tip here?

"Precognition" section shouldn't be there[edit]
I don't see any reason for it to be there, or if it remains, it should be re-written. As it is, it seems like it endorses the idea that precognition exists. It should at least be re-written to say there were claims about precognition in connection with it, not "apparent predictions" which is a silly, and non-neutral term. And anyway, if they lived in a town overshadowed by a huge pile of rock, why wouldn't people tend to dream about it falling? Less precognition than common sense.
I think it makes the article and Wikipedia less credible for this even to be on the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 04:38, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- I wholeheartedly agree. The precognition section is embarrassing for several reasons, not least for the "citation needed" for every piece of alleged evidence. whok (talk) 05:44, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
I just deleted the precognition section.whok (talk) 05:51, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
- It's very simple. There was a psychiatrist studying reports of precognitive experience who advertised in a newspaper for people to write in and tell him if they'd had any about this incident. He got sixty responses and wrote it up in the Journal for the Society for Psychic Research.[Barker, J.C. "Premonitions of the Aberfan Disaster." Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, December 1967: 168-181.] This organization is devoted to serious investigation and is as much CSICOP as Rhine Institute. They were the ones who blew the whistle on Madame Blavatsky's fakery at Adyar. I'll abide by the wishes of previous editors not to insert any mention of it at this time, but I say it belongs there. It's very easy to write these things in an encyclopedic manner. Many Wikipedia editors have considerable experience learning to write about claims or reports of perceived paranormal events. People are going to come to this page looking for the story of Eryl Jones and it's better that they get the truth from here. --Bluejay Young (talk) 18:14, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- I quite agree. To exclude any mention of precognitions on the basis that they are pseudo-science is itself a POV. Whether real or imagined, their notability for this encyclopedia arises from the fact thet they have been reported widely, inclusing in a learned journal. The "local dream effect" certainly cannot explain them all. Eysenck and Sergent in their 1993 Explaining the Unexplained report on the woman in Sidcup who dreamt about the disaster seven days before it happened (confirmed by two witnesses) and on the woman in Aylesbury at the spiritualist meeting two days before the disaster (confirmed by one witness). If the topic does not deserve a full section, then I think it should certainly be covered in a footnote. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 18:29, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
Corporate scandal?[edit]
Why is this categorized as a corporate scandal? The NCB was a state institution at the time was it not? Or is there no such thing as "nationalised industry scandal" in the author's mind?
What was the justification for these deletions? I propose to revert soon unless somebody explains them. PatGallacher 12:00, 2005 May 25 (UTC)
- Test edit / vandalism / delete key ran away with him. Duly reverted. –Hajor 13:53, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
- Hmm, right now there are "see alsos" to corporate crime and corporate scandal. Hey, I'm a total leftie, but the coal industry at that time was a state operation, right? Someone, anyone, be bold and remove them, perhaps even replace with "government crime" and "government scandal", or even "government incompetence"? Huw Powell (talk) 06:27, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Suggested merge[edit]
Anyone object to merging Pantglas Junior School into this article? I think most people know the name Aberfan, rather than the name of the school. Carcharoth 16:50, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. Both seem to cover the same topic. --Quiddity 03:14, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- I would eventually prefer to see two articles - one on Aberfan, and one on the Aberfan disaster. I am happy that the two presently merge, as both have details relevant to the disaster, cover the same grounds, and would produce a better article merged to cover the disaster. Rgds, - Trident13 14:02, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- Agree with Trident13. --Tombomp (talk) 21:08, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Max Boyce[edit]
Much as I appreciate the sentiment of putting the lyrics here, it's a fairly clear copyvio. The Wednesday Island (talk) 14:22, 29 November 2007 (UTC) l —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 17:50, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Weight of material?[edit]
The reports about the weight and volume of material that were involved contradict. 40,000 cubic metres of material, weighing around half a million tonnes... Hmm.. the density of Colliery shale is approximately 1.7 tonnes per cubic metre. This means, that if the volumes are correct, that the weight of the material to arrive in the village was 70,000 tonnes and not the 'half a million tonnes' quoted by the South Wales Police site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgb2 (talk • contribs) 15:14, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
- Point taken. I'm amazed that anyone would know the density of Colliery shale -- that's impressive and a little scary. I've reverted the passage to quote only the volume of material cited in McLean and Johnes' account. Thanks.
Dunks (talk) 01:07, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Paragraph does not make sense.[edit]
The pupils of Pantglas Junior School had arrived only minutes earlier for the last day of term. They had just left the assembly hall, where they had been singing "All Things Bright and Beautiful", when a great noise was heard outside. Had they left for their classrooms a few minutes later, the loss of life would have been significantly reduced, as the classrooms were on the side of the building nearest the landslide.
This paragraph doesn't make sense. Shouldn't it be rewritten as it confuses readers on how many minutes and where the children where at the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 19:52, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- Why not? If they had left for their classrooms later they wouldn't have got to them by the time the landslide hit, so they wouldn't have been on the dangerous side of the school. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:29, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- You're missing the point - the paragraph doesn't make it clear where the children (and teachers - not mentioned) actually were. They hadn't "just left the assembly hall" but were in their classrooms - they had "just arrived in their classrooms". "the loss of life would have been significantly reduced" - the author doesn't know this for certain, It's conjecture. "the loss of life might have been significantly reduced" would be better. Supporting this is the fact that most survivors were found in the part of the school furthest from the slide. It wasn't a landslide - it was material from a collapsing colliery spoil-heap. Rambler24 (talk) 14:10, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
The page 'Aberfan' should be about the village while a page with a title such as 'Aberfan mining disaster' should be used for the disaster. This page has no information about the village history and the village today. Mtaylor848 (talk) 14:40, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
- Agree, it seems like a good idea to split.--Commander Keane (talk) 23:54, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- Agree with a split, though as it stands there is very little remaining for the village article. Probably a short summary section for the disaster with a {{Main}} template pointing to the spin off article would help cover things and give some substance to the village article. Keith D (talk) 12:45, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
- Agree with the above. DBaK (talk) 13:00, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
- What would the title of the new article be? Does that one suggestion do it, or is there a format to follow or what? DBaK (talk) 13:01, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
- The disaster was referred to at the time as "The Aberfan Disaster", locally, nationally, in the media., and in the government enquiry and report on the incident, precursors and aftermath. I'd suggest that as a starting point. Google generates 15,6000 hits for "aberfan disaster", but only 821 for 'aberfan "mining disaster"' I'd be willing to expand the new Aberfan stub. I lived out my school years in the village, have relatives in the area, and believe I could put some flesh on the bones, Rambler24 (talk) 10:58, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
- I suggest Aberfan disaster is the best name. It's what it's usually called, and there's a precedent with e.g. Gresford Disaster and Flixborough disaster. Totnesmartin (talk) 21:49, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- Is that 15,600 hits or 156,000 hits? Either way, the title i suggested (1966 Aberfan disaster) was based on what some other articles are named although seems to be no set way disasters should be titled. Simply south (talk) 22:03, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think starting with the date will make it easier to find - I like just Aberfan disaster as suggested above - common name and all that? DBaK (talk) 22:04, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- Is that 15,600 hits or 156,000 hits? Either way, the title i suggested (1966 Aberfan disaster) was based on what some other articles are named although seems to be no set way disasters should be titled. Simply south (talk) 22:03, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- I suggest Aberfan disaster is the best name. It's what it's usually called, and there's a precedent with e.g. Gresford Disaster and Flixborough disaster. Totnesmartin (talk) 21:49, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

- What would the title of the new article be? Does that one suggestion do it, or is there a format to follow or what? DBaK (talk) 13:01, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
- Probably best and agree. Simply south (talk) 22:26, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- There also isn't another Aberfan disaster to cause confusion, so the year is rather unnecessary. Totnesmartin (talk) 22:34, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- Probably best and agree. Simply south (talk) 22:26, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
(Outdent) As most of the page is on the disaster it is probably best, from an attribution point of view, to move this page so that the history remains intact. Though we would loose history on the redirect from the merge in 2004. The village article can then be started as a new article. Keith D (talk) 23:22, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- I think i oppose the move and suggest the merge. Maybe the problems could be sorted with a Hist merge? Simply south (talk) 23:45, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
The sooner the better, as far as I'm concerned. BTW it was 15,600 hits (I have a keyboard with a mind of its own - lame excuse for a typo I know, but it's the best I can do). I concur with the name being changed to simply "Aberfan Disaster". The date is unnecessary - it may imply that there were others (god forbid). Rambler24 (talk) 09:26, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
- The other similar articles have "disaster" in lower case, the Gresford Disaster, quoted above, is just a redirect to the lower case version. Keith D (talk) 12:10, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
- "Disaster" should be lowercase in all titles, unless it's a book called Gresford Disaster or something. Totnesmartin (talk) 12:44, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Looks like clear consensus. Anyone gonna do it? Folks at 137 (talk) 23:15, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- Because of the extreme consensus, and yes, extreme; i am going to do it now. I am moving the page to Aberfan Disaster and removing some of the town info at the top. And I will restart the town page with all of the town info that would be at the top of the new page. (hopefully I haven't lost anyone at this point) --MWOAP (talk) 00:53, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
I've made a couple of mistakes in performing this requested move, my apologies for the dog's breakfast of an edit history that resulted; my understanding is that you all wanted the page to be at Aberfan disaster and that is where it now is, along with its associated talk page. Currently Aberfan redirects there, but this can certainly be changed to be a stub about the village if that's what's wanted. I noted that Jimbo himself requested that the talk page material formerly at Aberfan disaster be deleted, and I've done that, which made things a lot easier in getting this talk page into place. If there is anything that I have bollixed up by misunderstanding what was wanted, please accept my apologies; feel free to leave me a note and I'll be glad to fix it. Accounting4Taste:talk 01:50, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
- Where did Jimbo request that or was it on the talk page of the redirect? Thanks for this above. Simply south (talk) 11:53, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
- It was on this page (Talk:Aberfan disaster), which I deleted to make room for the material at which you're looking. If you're curious, in November 2003 he asked for a definition of "coal tip" as follows: "Since this is such a minor comment, I recommend that it be removed once my question has been answered. What is a 'waste tip'? What is a 'tip' in general? Something containing enough water to kill people, and perhaps someing to do with coal mining? Is there a different term for this in American English? --Jimbo Wales" His question was answered; I rarely interact with Mr. Wales but wanted to be respectful and decided to honour his wishes, which frankly made my life easier in that I didn't have to merge the talk pages. <grin> Considering the mess I've already made, you may think that was a good idea!! Accounting4Taste:talk 17:42, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
My history work on this page[edit]
My aim on Wikipedia is to preserve as much page history as possible. I found both the article and talk page of Aberfan disaster in the deleted edits of Conversion script. Without reading any of the discussion above, I decided to rectify this problem by moving the old history at Aberfan disaster to Talk:Aberfan disaster/Old history and moving the old talk page to Talk:Aberfan disaster/Archive 1. I don't believe that any talk page comments should be removed unless they're personal attacks, even at the request of the author, even if the author is Jimbo Wales. When Jimbo Wales wrote that comment in 2001, archiving of talk pages was almost unheard of, and things have changed a lot since then. He made a constructive comment which I think should be part of the historical record. Graham87 18:17, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Coordinate error[edit]
{{geodata-check}} The coordinates need the following fixes:
- Write here
The correct coordinates for the Aberfan Disaster are as follows:
This can be verified on Google Earth, where these cordinates correspond to the disaster memorial site. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 00:18, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note. The co-ordinates were set when the article represented the place as well as the disaster. When the article was split the co-ordinates were not adjusted. Keith D (talk) 00:48, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Popular culture[edit]
- "Aberfan" by Rhys Morgan (whose father was one of the men who helped digging and whose mother lost a brother in the tragedy).
What? Is it a song, a book, or a chewing gum flavour? How about saying "uncle" instead of mother-brother? Do people even read what they type? Derekbd (talk) 05:12, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
- Added "Palaces of Gold" by Leon Rosselson - frequently sung in the folk world & covered afresh on at least 2 albums by important UK / internationa folk artists this year (Martin Simpson on "Vagrant Stanzas" and Lady Maisery on "Mayday") Andy mellor (talk) 10:16, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
A town lost 100 children and no riot?[edit]
Where is the info about the studies on how they dealt with the disaster without murdering any of the perpetrators? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 08:06, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
What studies? The people around there dealt with their grief with the quiet dignity that was their normal response to mining disasters, however caused. If you can find any such studies by all means quote them. And sign your posts (add 4 x ~ at the end). Britmax (talk) 08:24, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
It may be stating the blooming obvious but the Welsh people suffered the loss in a dignified silence. Reason - you get on with life and don't wear your heart on your sleeve. It is actually an old fashioned British thing - we suffer in silence, we grit our teeth and carry on and don't see the need to tell the world how we suffer. Coal miners and their families, and the communities they lived in looked after each other in both the good times and the bad, but especially in times of pain; and we did so behind closed doors. Apart from which what would a riot achieve? It could not or would not bring back one life and was, is and always will be pointless. Why smash up where we lived? There was no huggy-feely counselling, we got on with our shocked painful lives. The funerals followed the tragedy and that was when the public face of our grief was shown; our private grief continued in private and is still today borne with dignity. I was 16 when the disaster happened and have over the years had to deal with my own personal demons but I still feel the pain that day brought to my life. Anger that it happened but riot - it never even entered our heads! It would have been disrespectful to those who died and those who grieved had such a thing as "Self respect."The Geologist (talk) 13:58, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
Beatles declined to do a benefit for the Aberfan disaster[edit]
I recall reading that in newspaper microfilm, and this added to rumors that the Beatles were splitting up. You may notice this comes not long after the Beatles had stopped touring. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 14:21, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
- What!? The Beatles splitting up!? That would have been a real tragedy, wouldn't it. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 16:47, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
If I go on further about this regarding the Beatles, I'll be off-topic regarding the Aberfan disaster. There is a Wikipedia entry about the Beatles in 1966, so I will copy the above remark (about declining to do Aberfan benefit) to talk page there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 16:12, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Date of Spectator article[edit]
You mention "Aberfan: Under the Arc Lights," in The Spectator, October 10, 1966. If that date is correct, it was several days before the disaster, unrelated to it, and therefore suitable for the Wiki page on Aberfan as a village, not the disaster itself. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 19:14, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

My cousins had a wolf, damn thing hated my guts. When I was little it would steal from me whenever it had the chance, when I got older I could not even lay a freaking finger on someone else (even someone it didn't know) without it flipping out at me like it wanted to eat my face. I was the only one it did that too... I grew to hate the bastard.
how much do they cost?
LOL..it is illegal to own a wolf!! It is considered a wild animal, not domesticated! geez
My Keeshond looks like a wolf- stupid dog
my irish wolfhound looks like a fat shaved labradore XD
its a inni thing. you won't get it!
I personally don't agree with owning ANY wild animals. But to each their own. Same thing with people who have a wolf fetish. TO EACH THEIR OWN.

ABSTRACT: Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate if total, direct, indirect, and intangible costs differ between a cohort of adults with well-characterized allergy to staple foods ('cases') and controls. Methods: Swedish adults with objectively diagnosed food allergy to cow's milk, hen's egg, and/or wheat were recruited at an outpatient allergy clinic. Controls age- and sex-matched to cases were recruited from the same geographic area. For assessing the household costs of food allergy, a disease-specific socioeconomic questionnaire, developed within EuroPrevall, was utilized. Results: Overall annual total costs at the household level were significantly higher among adults with food allergy compared with controls (the difference amounted to 8164 €), whereas direct costs did not differ between cases and controls. However, household healthcare costs and costs for medicines were significantly higher for cases vs controls. Furthermore, indirect costs were significantly higher for households with food-allergic adults vs households without food-allergic adults. Specifically, more time was spent on performing domestic tasks due to a family member's food-allergy-related illness, as well as shopping and preparing food, and seeking food-allergy-related information. Presence of food allergy also affected intangible costs. Adults with food allergy experienced overall lower health status compared with controls. Conclusions: Swedish adults with allergy to staple foods have higher total costs determined as direct, indirect, and intangible costs using the disease-specific socioeconomic questionnaire. Thus, total costs were 8164 € higher per year in households with at least one adult allergic to staple foods compared with controls.

ABSTRACT: The aim was to assess the impact of eczema on health-related quality of life in the population-based birth cohort BAMSE with 2,756 pre-adolescent children. All answered the following questions on self-perceived health; "How are you feeling?", "How healthy do you consider yourself to be?" and "How happy are you with your life right now?". Children with ongoing eczema answered the "Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI)" questionnaire. In total, 350 (12.7%) of the children had eczema. Girls with eczema reported impaired self-perceived health as evaluated in the 3 questions; adjusted OR 1.72 (95% CI 1.16-2.55), 1.89 (95% CI 1.29-2.76) and 1.69 (95% CI 1.18-2.42). Eczema among boys was not associated with impairment of self-perceived health. The mean CDLQI score was 3.98 (95% CI 3.37-4.58). Since eczema affects up to 20% of pre-adolescent girls, the findings have implications both for health care providers and for society as a whole.
Article: Recurrent reactions to food among children at paediatric emergency departments: Epidemiology of Allergic Disease M. Vetander et al[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Knowledge about repeated food reactions in paediatric emergency departments (ED) is sparse. To investigate the incidence and potential risk factors for repeated ED-visits for food allergic reactions among children with a prior ED visit due to reactions to food. 358 children with ED visits at paediatric hospitals in Stockholm due to reactions to foods during 2007 (index-reaction) were investigated in relation to recurrent reactions until June 30, 2010. Adjusted cox proportional hazard models were used to compute relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). 80 children had 116 ED revisits over a period of 873 patient-years, yielding an incidence rate of 9/100 patient-years. Known food allergy before the index ED visit in 2007 increased the risk for ED revisits (RR = 2.30, 95% CI 1.35-3.94). Likewise, prescription of adrenaline auto-injector before the index-reaction increased the risk (RR = 2.02, 95% CI 1.17-3.49). Twenty-one percent of the children had more severe reactions at the re-visit, 38% less severe, and 41% had reactions of comparable severity. However, among 44% of the children with comparable or less severe reaction at re-visit, early treatment with adrenaline hampered the classification of change in severity. Previously known food allergy and prior prescription of adrenaline are significant risk factors for ED revisits among children with a prior ED visit due to reactions to food. Our results indicate that the severity of the index reaction cannot be used to predict the severity of the relapse. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
Article: Health-related quality of life, assessed with a disease-specific questionnaire, in Swedish adults suffering from well-diagnosed food allergy to staple foods[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Our aim was to investigate the factors that affect health related quality of life (HRQL) in adult Swedish food allergic patients objectively diagnosed with allergy to at least one of the staple foods cow's milk, hen's egg or wheat. The number of foods involved, the type and severity of symptoms, as well as concomitant allergic disorders were assessed. The disease-specific food allergy quality of life questionnaire (FAQLQ-AF), developed within EuroPrevall, was utilized. The questionnaire had four domains: Allergen Avoidance and Dietary Restrictions (AADR), Emotional Impact (EI), Risk of Accidental Exposure (RAE) and Food Allergy related Health (FAH). Comparisons were made with the outcome of the generic questionnaire EuroQol Health Questionnaire, 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D). The patients were recruited at an outpatient allergy clinic, based on a convincing history of food allergy supplemented by analysis of specific IgE to the foods in question. Seventy-nine patients participated (28 males, 51 females, mean-age 41 years). The domain with the most negative impact on HRQL was AADR, assessing the patients' experience of dietary restrictions. The domain with the least negative impact on HRQL was FAH, relating to health concerns due to the food allergy. One third of the patients had four concomitant allergic disorders, which had a negative impact on HRQL. Furthermore, asthma in combination with food allergy had a strong impact. Anaphylaxis, and particularly prescription of an epinephrine auto-injector, was associated with low HRQL. These effects were not seen using EQ-5D. Analyses of the symptoms revealed that oral allergy syndrome and cardiovascular symptoms had the greatest impact on HRQL. In contrast, no significant effect on HRQL was seen by the number of food allergies. The FAQLQ-AF is a valid instrument, and more accurate among patients with allergy to staple foods in comparison to the commonly used generic EQ-5D. It adds important information on HRQL in food allergic adults. We found that the restrictions imposed on the patients due to the diet had the largest negative impact on HRQL. Both severity of the food allergy and the presence of concomitant allergic disorders had a profound impact on HRQL.
Article: Anaphylaxis and reactions to foods in children - a population-based case study of emergency department visits[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Information about acute reactions to foods among children is limited. To describe the overall incidence of anaphylaxis in a paediatric emergency department (ED) setting and to describe reactions to foods in relation to sex and age, clinical characteristics and management. In a review of medical records, children with ED visits at any of three paediatric hospitals in Stockholm County during 2007 were targeted. Inclusion criteria were any adverse reaction to foods or anaphylaxis. 383 children fulfilled the inclusion criteria of which 371 had had reactions to foods. The incidence of anaphylaxis was 32 per 100 000 person years irrespective of cause and food was involved in 92%. Tree nuts, particular cashew, and peanut were the most common eliciting foods, and in children under 3 years, reactions to these two food allergens were as common as reactions to milk and egg. Pollen-allergic children seemed to be admitted due to food-induced anaphylaxis more often during the deciduous tree pollen season compared with the rest of the year (P = 0.015). Symptoms from the lower airways occurred in 49% of children with anaphylaxis but without underlying asthma compared with 72% of children with anaphylaxis and asthma, P < 0.01. Reactions to peanut and tree nuts are as common as reactions to milk and egg in early life. Concomitant exposure to airborne allergens seems to increase the risk of anaphylaxis to foods. Among children with anaphylaxis, wheeze is prevalent even in children without asthma diagnosis.
Article: Development and comorbidity of eczema, asthma and rhinitis to age 12 - Data from the BAMSE birth cohort[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Allergy-related diseases are a public health issue, but knowledge on development and comorbidity among children is scarce. The aim was to study the development of eczema, asthma and rhinitis in relation to sex and parental allergy, in a population-based cohort, during childhood. At 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 years, parental questionnaires were used to obtain data on allergy-related diseases. Complete data for all five follow-up occasions were available from 2916 children. Odds ratios for the risk of any allergy-related disease in relation to heredity and sex were calculated using generalized estimating equations. At 12 years, 58% of the children had had eczema, asthma and/or rhinitis at some time. Disease turnover was high for all three diseases throughout the study. Comorbidity increased with age, and at 12 years, 7.5% of all the children were affected by at least two allergy-related diseases. Parental allergy was associated with increased comorbidity and more persistent disease and increased the risk of having any allergy-related disease (adjusted OR 1.76; 95% CI 1.57-1.97) up to 12 years. Male sex was associated with an increased risk throughout childhood. Boys and girls did not differ in disease persistence, and for comorbidity, the differences were minor. Allergy-related diseases may affect a majority of children. Eczema, asthma and rhinitis develop dynamically throughout childhood, and allergic comorbidity is common. These findings indicate that allergy-related diseases should be neither seen nor studied as isolated entities.
Article: Classification of anaphylaxis and utility of the EAACI Taskforce position paper on Anaphylaxis in Children[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Correct management and classification of anaphylaxis is mandatory. Records of emergency department (ED) visits to any of the three pediatric hospitals in Stockholm, because of reactions to foods during 2007, were identified. A retrospective analysis of clinical ED records of 371 children with 381 unique occasions of reactions to foods was performed. Symptoms/signs of reactions to foods recorded for classification of anaphylaxis were related to those presented in the EAACI Taskforce position paper on Anaphylaxis in Children (Allergy 2007; 62: 857). Forty-six different symptoms/signs of reactions to foods were retrieved. Several severe signs or symptoms from the respiratory tract and signs indicating reduced brain perfusion were not described in detail in the EAACI paper, hampering correct classification of anaphylaxis including grading of severity in our material. After modification of the EAACI classification including such signs and symptoms, we were able to classify 128 (35%) children with anaphylaxis. Seventy children (19%) did not fulfill our modified EAACI's criteria for anaphylaxis. They had been given adrenaline before or at arrival to hospital, possibly preventing anaphylaxis. Another 173 (47%) children/adolescents had neither been given adrenalin, nor fulfilled the criteria for anaphylaxis. Classification of food-induced anaphylaxis and severity grading should be built on signs and symptoms to facilitate diagnosis. The existing EAACI tool is helpful, but for Swedish children it is not quite applicable, in particular because of the lack of description of some respiratory, neurological or possible cardiovascular signs and symptoms.

Article: IgE to peanut allergen components: Relation to peanut symptoms and pollen sensitization in 8-year-olds[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Allergen-specific IgE testing is often performed with crude peanut extract, but the results may be difficult to interpret because of cross-reactions between peanut and other plant allergens. The aim was to investigate IgE reactivity to peanut allergen components in children from a birch-rich region in relation to pollen sensitization and peanut symptoms. From a birth cohort, clinical parameters were obtained through questionnaires and IgE antibody levels to peanut and birch pollen were measured. Different peanut/birch sensitization phenotypes were defined among 200 selected children. IgE reactivity to peanut and pollen allergen components was analysed using microarray technique. Peanut symptoms were reported in 87% of the children with IgE reactivity to any of the peanut allergens Ara h 1, 2 or 3 but not to Ara h 8 (n = 46) vs 17% of children with IgE reactivity to Ara h 8 but not to Ara h 1, 2 or 3 (n = 23), P < 0.001. Furthermore, symptoms were more severe in children with Ara h 1, 2 or 3 reactivity. Children with IgE reactivity both to Ara h 2 and to Ara h 1 or 3 more often reported peanut symptoms than children with IgE only to Ara h 2 (97%vs 70%, P = 0.016), particularly respiratory symptoms (50%vs 9%, P = 0.002). IgE analysis to peanut allergen components may be used to distinguish between peanut-sensitized individuals at risk of severe symptoms and those likely to have milder or no symptoms to peanut if sensitized to pollen allergens and their peanut homologue allergens.
Article: Asarnoj A, Ostblom E, Ahlstedt S, et al. Reported symptoms to peanut between 4 and 8 years among children sensitized to peanut and birch pollen: results from the BAMSE birth cohort[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Specific IgE tests are sometimes difficult to interpret due to structural similarities between certain food and pollen allergens. This may be the reason why concomitant sensitization to peanut and birch pollen is frequently seen. The aim of this study was to investigate reported symptoms to peanut- and birch pollen in relation to sensitization. The data originate from 1928 children in the BAMSE birth cohort. Background factors and clinical parameters were obtained and the levels of IgE antibodies to peanut and birch pollen measured at 4 and 8 years. IgE antibodies to peanut were found in 5.5% and 7.4% of the children at 4 and 8 years, respectively. The IgE antibody levels to peanut were higher in children sensitized to peanut but not birch than in children sensitized to peanut and birch among both 4- and 8-year-olds (P = 0.093 and P = 0.003, respectively). Eight-year-olds sensitized to peanut but not birch, more often reported symptoms to peanut than children sensitized to both peanut and birch pollen (76%vs 46%, P = 0.002). The probability of reported symptoms to peanut increased significantly with increasing IgE levels to peanut, especially in 8-year-olds not sensitized to birch. Children sensitized to both peanut and birch pollen are less likely to report symptoms to peanut than children sensitized to peanut but not to birch pollen at 8 years. This is likely due to cross reactions between birch pollen and peanut and can explain the high sensitization rate to peanut in areas where birch trees are common.
Article: Janzi, M. et al. Selective IgA deficiency in early life: association to infections and allergic diseases during childhood. Clin. Immunol. 133, 78-85[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Selective IgA deficiency in early life is quite common in Caucasian populations, but it is unclear whether it increases the risk of infections and allergic diseases during childhood. Serum IgA levels were measured in 2423 children at 4 years of age in a Swedish population based birth cohort (BAMSE). Parental questionnaires were repeatedly sent out during the child's first 8 years of life, collecting information about infections and allergic diseases. 14 children (1:173) were found to be IgA deficient at 4 years of age. These children had an increased risk of pseudocroup at year 1 (p<0.01) and food hypersensitivity at year 4 (p<0.05) as compared to IgA sufficient children. No increased risk was observed in the partial IgA deficiency group. The findings suggest that selective IgA deficiency may increase the risk of parentally reported pseudocroup and food hypersensitivity during early childhood.
Article: Sensitization to inhalant allergens between 4 and 8 years of age is a dynamic process: Results from the BAMSE birth cohort[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There is limited knowledge of the development of IgE-antibody levels over time in childhood, with respect to persistency and co-sensitization to specific inhalant allergens. Data from 2033 children participating in the BAMSE birth cohort was used. Background factors and clinical parameters were obtained and IgE antibody (ab) levels to eight common airborne allergens were measured (>or=0.35 kU(A)/L) when the children were 4 and 8 years of age. Between 4 and 8 years the proportion of children sensitized to any of the inhalant allergens tested increased from 15% to 25%. At 4 years IgE-ab to birch and cat dominated, whereas at the age of 8, there was a considerable increase in the proportion of sensitization to timothy and dog. Except for mites and moulds, IgE-ab levels to all aeroallergens increased significantly between 4 and 8 years among those already sensitized at 4. Transient sensitization to inhalant allergen was uncommon. Furthermore, sensitization to birch pollen at 4 years increased the risk for becoming sensitized to timothy, cat and dog later in life. Such an association was not observed among those sensitized primarily to animal dander. There is a prominent process of sensitization at pre-school age to inhalant allergens, and in Northern Europe sensitization to birch pollen early in life seems to be important for this process. Such a process has a probable impact on the development of allergic disease in the growing child.

ABSTRACT: The predictive value of reported early symptoms to pollen or fruits on later allergic disease is unclear. Our aim is to evaluate if symptoms to pollen and/or to fruits early in life are associated with allergic disease and sensitization to pollen at 4 years. The study included 3619 children from the Barn (Children), Allergy, Milieu, Stockholm, Epidemiology project (BAMSE) birth cohort. Reported symptoms of wheeze, sneeze or rash to birch, grass or weed, symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, rash, facial edema, sneeze, or wheeze) to fruits including tree-nuts at 1 or 2 years of age, and definitions of asthma, rhinitis and eczema at 4 years were derived from questionnaire data. Sensitization to pollen allergens was defined as allergen-specific IgE-antibodies to any pollen (birch/timothy/mugwort) > or =0.35 kU(A)/l. At 1 or 2 years of age, 6% of the children were reported to have pollen-related symptoms, 6% had symptoms to fruits, and 1.4% to both pollen and fruits. Children with symptoms to both pollen and fruits at 1 or 2 years of age had an increased risk for sensitization to any pollen allergen at age 4 (OR(adj) = 4.4, 95% CI = 2.1-9.2). This group of children also had a substantially elevated risk for developing any allergic disease (asthma, rhinitis, or eczema) at 4 years irrespective of sensitization to pollen (OR(adj) = 8.6, 95% CI = 4.5-16.4). The prevalence of reported symptoms to pollen and fruits is very low in early childhood. However, children with early symptoms to both pollen and fruits appear to have a markedly elevated risk for allergic disease.
Article: Phenotypes of food hypersensitivity and development of allergic diseases during the first 8 years of life[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Longitudinal data from population-based studies on the development and persistence of food hypersensitivity (FHS) during childhood are almost absent. A population-based birth cohort was established, and information on various exposures and symptoms of allergic disease were obtained from questionnaires when the children were 2 months, 1, 2, 4 and 8 years of age. Complete data were available on 3104 children. Children with reported FHS and doctor's diagnosis of food allergy (RDFA) were identified and allocated into transient, intermittent, late-onset and persistent phenotypes. Food allergen-specific IgE-antibodies (abs) to a mix of six common food allergens (fx5) were analysed at 4 and 8 years of age in 1857 children. The overall prevalence of reported FHS in combination with RDFA should be 3.1% at 1 year to 7.6% at 8 years of age. However, reactions to milk, egg, fish and wheat decreased, whereas an increase was seen for peanuts and tree nuts. Reported reactions to egg, peanuts or tree nuts early in life, as well as IgE-abs to food allergens at the age of 4, increased the risk of FHS at 8 years of age. Furthermore, FHS at young ages increased the risk for asthma, eczema and allergic rhinitis at 8 years of age, even when adjustments were made for children with these symptoms during the first 2 years of life. The increasing prevalence of FHS up to the age of 8 years probably reflects an increasing prevalence of allergy to birch pollen and pollen-related reactions to foods. Reactions to egg, peanuts and tree nuts early in life increase the risk of FHS at 8 years. Furthermore, reported FHS at young ages, even though transient, seems to increase the risk for other allergic diseases at 8 years of age.
Article: Patterns of quantitative food-specific IgE-antibodies and reported food hypersensitivity in 4-year-old children[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Diagnosis of food hypersensitivity (FHS) is difficult and interpretation of food allergy tests is complicated. To investigate the probability of reported FHS in relation to levels of food-specific IgE-antibodies (AB) in a population-based setting of 4-year-old children (n = 2336). Information on FHS was obtained from a questionnaire and specific IgE-AB to milk, egg, fish, peanut, soy and wheat were analysed. Thirty-one per cent of the children with reported FHS (n = 284) were sensitized (> or =0.35 kU(A)/l) to at least one of the tested foods compared with 11% of children without FHS (n = 2052). Furthermore, the probability of reported symptoms to milk, egg and fish increased with increasing levels of food-specific IgE-AB to the same food allergens. A similar trend was seen for peanut and wheat, but not for soy. Increasing levels of specific IgE-AB to milk or egg were also associated with an increasing risk of reported symptoms caused by other foods. Quantitative measurements of IgE-AB to milk, egg and fish are useful to evaluate IgE-associated FHS in preschool children also in a population based sample. Such measurements appear to be of limited value for soy bean and wheat, in particular as a screening method.
Article: The impact of food ipersensitivity reported in 9- year-old by their parents on health related quality of life[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There are only a few studies on the impact of food hypersensitivity (FHS) in children on health-related quality of life (HRQL). The present study was designed to examine this impact in a population-based birth cohort (BAMSE). A nested case-control study was performed within the cohort. The parents of 1378 nine-year-old children filled out a generic questionnaire with 13 subscales (Child Health Questionnaire Parental Form 28 - CHQ-PF28) supplemented with disease-specific questions concerning FHS. There were 212 children with report of FHS. Another 221 children with allergic diseases but not FHS were examined for comparison. Furthermore, the impact of pronounced symptoms of FHS and of increasing levels of food-specific IgE antibodies on HRQL was also analysed. The children with FHS exhibited significantly lower scores on the subscales physical functioning, role/social limitations - physical and general health in the generic instrument. Furthermore, children with food-related symptoms from the lower airways were scored lower on Self Esteem, Parental Impact - time and Family Cohesion. Sensitization per se did not alter these patterns, but high levels of food-specific IgE-antibodies affected mental health and general health negatively. A physician's diagnosis of food allergy did not affect any of the subscales negatively. Parents reported that FHS exerts a negative impact on the HRQL of 9-year-old children, in particular in children with symptoms from the lower airways or if the FHS is associated with high levels of food-specific IgE-antibodies. Healthcare-givers must put major effort into improving and maintaining the HRQL of these children.

ABSTRACT: To characterize reported food hypersensitivity (FHS) among young children in a birth cohort. At 4 years of age a parental questionnaire on FHS and allergic symptoms was evaluated. Blood was collected for analyses of IgE-antibodies to egg, milk, fish, wheat, peanut and soy. Complete questionnaire data was available for 3694 children (90%), and blood samples were obtained from 2563 children (63%). FHS was reported in 11% of the children (n=397). Eczema was the most commonly reported symptom and the only symptom in half of these children. Food-related reactions from the airways, facial oedema or urticaria were reported in 198 children, and the majority of these children (75%) reported multiple symptoms. Furthermore, a combination of airway symptoms, facial oedema or urticaria together with sensitization to food suggested a more severe form of FHS. This was found in 1.6% of all children. Symptoms caused by peanut were closely associated with sensitization to peanut (p<0.001). FHS in 4-year-old children with any of asthma, rhino-conjunctivitis, facial oedema or urticaria in combination is in most cases associated to sensitization to food. This phenotype of FHS is likely to represent a more severe form of FHS.

Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
