BACKGROUND & AIMS A well-balanced diet is the first-line treatment in hyperlipidemia. The objective was to study the association between serum phytosterols and dietary patterns to use them as surrogate markers of dietary compliance in primary dyslipidemias. METHODS 288 patients with primary hyperlipidemias (192 autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH) and 96 familial combined hyperlipide...

In this study, pectin changes during Red haricot bean storage under high temperature and humidity conditions were investigated to understand the hard-to-cook (HTC) development from a microstructural point of view. First, ensure repeatability microscopy results, classification fresh stored beans (aged at 35 °C 83% relative humidity) into different hardening levels (the Non-aged, Aged Very-hard a...

ABSTRACT- In order to study the effects of different irrigation regimes and plant density on yield and yield components of bean, a split plot arrangement was conducted in complete randomized block design during two years. The foremost variable was four levels of irrigation: 60, 80, 100, and 120% of the potential evapotranspiration. The second variable was within the row spacing of 5 cm (D1), 10...

A 8 month-old infant presented with acute onset of severe jaundice, anemia requiring transfusion and Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase deficiency. The infant did not take drugs, he did not consume fava beans, but fava beans DNA was found on pumpkin he consumed the day before jaundice onset. This is the first case of hemolysis triggered by ingestion of food cross-contaminated with fava beans.

Protochlorophyll (Pchl) and protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) are at comparable levels in 2-day-old (young) etiolated bean leaves (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. Red Kidney). During subsequent development in the dark, both pigments increase, but the rate of Pchlide increase is greater than that of Pchl, leading to the commonly observed predominance of Pchlide beyond 7 days (old leaves). Both protopigme...

Manual dexterity and hand functional difficulties in daily life in hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) were investigated in 29 male patients with HAVS and 30 male controls without occupational exposure to hand-arm vibration. Manual dexterity was assessed by measuring the performance time of picking up and transferring 30 red beans, one by one, from one plate to another. Vibrotactile perception t...
