Effects of methanol leaf extract of Anacardium occidentale treatment on the hematology of chickens infected with velogenic Newcastle disease virus
AbstractNewcastle disease (ND) is one of the most important diseases of poultry worldwide. The aims of this study was to investigate the effects of methanol leaf extract ofAnacardium occidentale (MLEAO) on the hematology of chickens infected with velogenic Newcastle disease virus (vNDV). A total of 200 6-week-old cockerels, randomly assigned to eight groups (A, B, C, D, E. F, G, and H) of 25 each, were used for the study. Groups A, B, and C chickens (prophylactic groups) were drenched orally with MLEAO at the doses of 300, 150, and 75 mg/kg body weight, respectively for 7 days before challenge with vNDV. Chickens in all...

Cardanol-based adhesive with reduced formaldehyde emission to produce particleboards with waste from bean crops
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Feb 9. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-25764-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFree formaldehyde is a carcinogen whose emission reduction in particleboard has been studied recently to mitigate this environmental and human health problem. One alternative to reduce the emission of formaldehyde in particleboards is by using adhesives produced from natural sources. Cardanol-formaldehyde is an environmentally friendly adhesive made with cashew nut liquid, a byproduct from the cashew chain. This work aimed to produce particleboard using cardanol-formaldehyde in place of urea. In addition, different propor...

Climate-Smart Agriculture Technologies and Smallholder Farmers ’ Welfare: Evidence from Cashew Nuts (Anacardium occidentale) Farming System in Lindi, Tanzania
This study assessed the effect of the adoption of climate-smart cashew nut technologies on smallholder farmers ’ welfare in Lindi, Tanzania. Multivariate probit, endogenous switching regression, and inverse-probability-weighted regression adjustment were used for analysis. Empirical results on the levels of adoption revealed that 46.53% of the farm households planted improved cashew varieties, 79.21% used pesticides/herbicides, and 21.29% used inorganic fertilizers. Significant factors that influence the probability of interrelated adoption of climate-smart cashew nut technologies were off-farm income, extension contacts...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 1587: Cross-Serological Reaction of Glandless Cottonseed Proteins to Peanut and Tree Nut Allergic IgE
W. Lloyd
Food allergy is a potentially life-threatening health concern caused by immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that mistakenly recognize normally harmless food proteins as threats. Peanuts and tree nuts contain several seed storage proteins that commonly act as allergens. Glandless cottonseed, lacking the toxic compound gossypol, is a new food source. However, the seed storage proteins in cottonseed may act as allergens. To assess this risk, glandless cottonseed protein extracts were evaluated for IgE binding by peanut and tree nut allergic volunteers. ELISA demonstrated that 25% of 32 samples had significant bind...

Comparisons of Structure, Stability, and IgE Cross-Reactivity among Cashew, Pistachio, Walnut, and Peanut Vicilin-Buried Peptides
Vicilin-buried peptides (VBPs) are derived from the N-terminal leader-sequence (LS) of vicilin proteins and are receiving increasing attention as novel food allergens. Characterizing the VBPs from peanuts and tree nuts may help understand comorbidity and cross-reactivity despite a distant evolutionary origin. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)

Cashew and Shrimp Oral Immunotherapy-Induced Changes in Allergen-Reactive CD4+ T Cells
In this study, the participants were treated with increasing dose of cognate allergen for 52 weeks followed by 6 weeks of avoidance. Participants successfully desensitized post-OIT were classified into two groups, namely SU4043 (n=23) and SU2043 (n=5) based on the cumulative tolerated allergen protein dose of 4043 mg and 2043 mg respectively during the post-avoidance (i.e., week 58) oral food challenge.

pH-responsive phthalate cashew gum nanoparticles for improving drugs delivery and anti-Trypanosoma cruzi efficacy
We report the development of nanoparticles carrying benznidazole. Formulations were characterized by DLS, encapsulation efficiency, drug loading, FTIR, pH-responsive behavior, release, and in vitro kinetics. Interaction between polymer and drug was an evaluated by molecular dynamics. Morphology was observed by SEM, and in vitro cytotoxicity by MTT assay. Trypanocidal effect for epimastigote and trypomastigote forms was also evaluated. NPs responded to the slightly basic pH, triggering the release of BNZ. In acidic medium, they presented small size, spherical shape, and good stability. It was indicated NP with enhanced biol...
