Tolerance of Pistachio and Pecan in Patients Desensitized to Cashew and Walnut
Cross-reactivity of cashew and pistachio and pecan and walnut has been reported in the past. We hypothesized that cashew and walnut oral immunotherapy (OIT) lead to pistachio and pecan desensitization, respectively. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)

Microarray Analysis of Major Epitopes Among Tree Nut-Allergic Individuals May Explain Patterns of Cross-Desensitization
Oral immunotherapy (OIT) studies have demonstrated decreased sensitization to a target allergic tree nut as well as cross-desensitization with other similar tree nuts. Walnut OIT results in high rates of desensitization to pecan, yet lower rates of desensitization to other tree nuts such as hazelnut and cashew. We hypothesize that OIT driven cross-desensitization occurs more frequently between similar tree nuts due to immunoglobulin E (IgE) binding to sequentially different, yet homologous epitopes.

Model of Walnut Allergy in CC027/GeniUnc Mice Recapitulates Key Features of Human Disease.
Authors: Smeekens JM, Orgel KA, Kesselring J, Bagley K, Kulis MD
Abstract
Tree nut allergies affect 1% of the United States population, are often severe in nature and rarely outgrown. Despite the severity and prevalence, there are no FDA-approved treatments for tree nut allergy. Development of a therapeutic would be expedited by having a mouse model that mimics the human disease. We utilized the CC027/GeniUnc mouse strain, which was previously identified as an orally reactive model of peanut allergy, to develop a model of walnut allergy. Mice were sensitized with walnut and cholera toxin for 4 weeks and su...

Two undescribed diarylheptanoids from green husk of Carya illinoinensis as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
Abstract
Two undescribed diarylheptanoids, 3-(R)-acetyl-1-(3',4'-dihydroxyphenyl)-7-(4''-hydroxy-3'' -methoxyphenyl)-heptane (1) and 11-Hydroxy-1,17-epoxy-7-(2-hydroxylphenyl)-13-(16-methoxyphenyl)-heptane (2) together with known compounds, namely, 11-Oxo-1,17-epoxy-7-(2-hydroxylphenyl)-13-(16-methoxyphenyl)-heptane (3) 3,4,5-Trihydroxytetralone (4) 4,8- Dihydroxytetralone (5), 4,5-Dihydroxytetralone (6), 5,8-Dihydroxy-3-methoxytetralone (7) were isolated from ethyl acetate extract of the green husk of Carya illinoinensis. The structures of compounds were established on the basis of IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, DE...

Edible Nuts for Memory.
Abstract
Nuts hold prime significance throughout the world as they offer multiple health benefits owing to their highly nutritious profile. A number of scientific studies have demonstrated their actions against inflammation, oxidative damage, the aging process, as well as dementia or memory loss. However, only walnuts, followed by almonds, hazelnuts and pistachios, have shown promising results in empirical studies for memory improvements. So, the current review focuses on presenting hypotheses regarding anti-dementia property of nine different nuts: almond, walnut, pistachio, Brazil nut, peanut, pecans, ca...

Patient Characteristics and Outcomes of Nonmetastatic Breast Cancer in Haiti: Results from a Retrospective Cohort.
CONCLUSION: Patients with nonmetastatic breast cancer in Haiti have more advanced disease, poorer prognostic factors and worse outcomes compared with patients in high-income countries. Despite several limitations, curative treatment is possible in Haiti.
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Patients with breast cancer in Haiti have poor outcomes. Prior studies show that most Haitian patients are diagnosed at later stages. However, there are no rigorous studies describing how late-stage diagnosis and other prognostic factors affect outcomes in this population. This study presents a detailed analysis of survival outcomes and a...

Data ‐Independent Acquisition Mass Spectrometry‐Based Proteomics and Software Tools: A Glimpse in 2020
AbstractThis review provides a brief overview of the development of data ‐independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry‐based proteomics and selected DIA data analysis tools. Various DIA acquisition schemes for proteomics are summarized first including Shotgun‐CID, DIA, MSE, PAcIFIC, AIF, SWATH, MSX, SONAR, WiSIM, BoxCar, Scanning SWATH, diaPASEF, and PulseDIA, as well as the mass spectrometers enabling these methods. Next, the software tools for DIA data analysis are classified into three groups: library ‐based tools, library‐free tools, and statistical validation tools. The approaches are reviewed for generat...
