BACKGROUND The effects of nuts on major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, including dose-responses and potential heterogeneity by nut type or phytosterol content, are not well established. OBJECTIVES We examined the effects of tree nuts (walnuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts, pecans, cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, and Brazil nuts) on blood lipids [total cholesterol, low-density lipoprote...

The epitopes of the major allergen pine nut, Pin p 1, were analyzed using a peptide library and sera from patients with clinical allergy to nut in order deepen into allergenic characteristics 1. Analyses epitope similarities location 3D-model also performed. Results showed that three main regions 1 containing 5 recognized by patient IgE. had important 2S albumins peanut (Ara h 2 6) Brazil (Ber ...

A cashew nut-based beverage was obtained using broken kernels and its composition stability were evaluated during refrigerated storage for 60 days. Sensory tests performed to define the formulation, testing best proportion between water, effect of kernel roasting, ideal sweetness, attributes sensory acceptance. nut can be by grinding with water in 1:10 (m/m) added sugar at 3%, followed heat tre...

BACKGROUND Nut consumption is known to reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease. However, in previous studies, portion sizes and categories of nut consumption have varied, and few studies have assessed the association between colorectal cancer risk and nut consumption. In this study, we investigated the relationship between nut consumption and colorectal cancer ...

According to the governmental data, the cases of oral cancers doubled in the past 10 years. This had brought heavy burden to the patients’ family, the society, and the country. The literature generally evidenced the betel nut contained particular chemicals that can cause oral cancers. Research in Taiwan had also proofed that 90 percent of oral cancer patients had experience of betel nut chewing...

BACKGROUND Increased nut consumption has been associated with a reduced risk of major chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, the association between nut consumption and mortality remains unclear. METHODS We examined the association between nut consumption and subsequent total and cause-specific mortality among 76,464 women in the Nurses' Heal...

A new method is proposed to solve the hydrodynamics performances of a fluid lubricated screw-nut pair using FLUENT. Before simulations, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model gap flow field built, based on some approximation rules. During dynamic mesh technology employed realize real-time update grids computational domain. For given velocity perturbation, stiffness and damping coefficients sy...
