Concurrent training associated with moderate walnut consumption improved isokinetic strength, subjective sleep quality, cognitive performance and postural balance in elderly active men: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: The present study clearly revealed that concurrent training alone or associated with daily walnut (15 g) consumption for 6 weeks significantly increased knee isokinetic strength, support leg standing parameters and sleep quality. Meanwhile, cognitive performance evaluated by MoCA test and postural balance with dual task were improved for CTW group only.PMID:38421528 | PMC:PMC10904559 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02646-x (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Gelatin-based multifunctional composite films integrated with dialdehyde carboxymethyl cellulose and coffee leaf extract for active food packaging
In this study, dialdehyde carboxymethyl cellulose (DCMC, 10 wt% based on gelatin) and varying contents of coffee leaf extract (CLE, 1, 3, 5 and 7 wt% based on gelatin) were incorporated into gelatin (GEL) matrix to develop multifunctional food packaging films. DCMC acted as a physical reinforcing filler through crosslinking with GEL matrix by Schiff-base reaction, CLE served as an active filler to confer film functional properties. The micro-morphology, micro-structure, physicochemical and functional properties of the GEL/DCMC/CLE composite film were investigated. The results demonstrated that mechanical, barrier propertie...

IgE Binding and Cross-reactivity to Linear and Conformational Epitopes of Peanut and Walnut Vicilin-buried Peptides
Peanut-allergic individuals can exhibit clinically-relevant IgE cross-reactivity to various tree nuts, particularly walnut. Vicilin-buried peptides (VBPs) found in vicilin leader sequences (LS) are a new class of allergens in peanut and tree nuts that contribute to IgE cross-reactivity. The contribution of the linear and conformational epitopes to cross-reactivity of peanut and walnut VBPs is assessed here. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)

Treatment of Single and Multiple Food Allergies with ADP101: Results of the Harmony Phase 1/2 Trial
The phase 1/2 Harmony trial (NCT04856865) evaluated ADP101, a pharmaceutical-grade, investigational multifood oral immunotherapy (mOIT) for simultaneous treatment of allergy to 1-5 foods in ADP101 (almond, cashew, chicken ’s egg, codfish, cow’s milk, hazelnut, peanut, pecan, pistachio, salmon, sesame, shrimp, soy, walnut, wheat).

OIT-associated Changes in Gut Metabolites and Potential Effects on Gut Epithelial Integrity
Gut microbiome composition and associated metabolites are implicated in the persistent food allergic (FA) state, contributing to perturbations in gut permeability. Reduced short chain fatty acid (SCFA) stool levels are associated with FA, and Prevotella copri and Bacteroides species contribute to the increased acetate observed in the stool of nonallergic subjects. Our objective was to investigate stool metabolite changes in patients undergoing walnut oral immunotherapy (OIT), and to evaluate their potential effects on gut integrity.

Interplay of Walnut and Peanut Allergies in Pediatric Anaphylaxis: Prevalence, Cross-Reactivity, and Therapeutic Implications
This study examines its risk in a large food anaphylactic pediatric cohort enrolled in the Tolerance Induction Program (TIPTM). The evolutionary conservation between peanut and walnut proteins and the clinical observations indicating those with peanut allergy are at increased risk for walnut allergy underscores the potential utility of walnuts in advancing biosimilar protein immunotherapy.

Food- induced anaphylaxis with initially negative, but subsequently positive IgE sensitization.
A 15-year old patient presented with a recent episode of anaphylaxis after ingesting cashew containing food, accompanied by a strong positive prick test. Our patient had abstained from tree nut- containing foods after experiencing a similar episode 10 years ago after a walnut ingestion, but with negative skin prick and imunoCAP test. This prompted us to conduct a literature review to investigate how minimal or negative sensitization at the onset of the clinical symptoms can be associated with observable clinical reactions, and how sensitization may increase even in the absence of consuming allergen-containing foods.
