Nuclear protein of the testis (NUT) midline carcinomas are rare aggressive carcinomas characterized by chromosomal rearrangements that involve the gene encoding the NUT. This article reviews the clinicopathologic features and the differential diagnosis of these malignancies.

The maximal globally hyperbolic development of non-Taub-NUT Bianchi IX vacuum initial data and of non-NUT Bianchi VIII vacuum initial data is C2-inextendible. Furthermore, a curvature invariant is unbounded in the incomplete directions of inextendible causal geodesics.

OBJECTIVE To assess the association, in a Mediterranean population, between nut consumption and risk of weight gain (at least 5 kg) or the risk of becoming overweight/obese. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES The Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra project is a prospective cohort of 8865 adult men and women who completed a follow-up questionnaire after a median of 28 months.

Areca nut chewing is associated with acute as well as chronic effects. The acute effects are wor...

We aim to quantify the effects of nut intake on risk of stroke by a dose-response meta-analysis with a random-effects model. Two databases (PubMed and Emabse) were searched for prospective cohort studies regarding nut intake and stroke risk. Studies were included if they fulfilled the predefined criteria. Eleven articles encompassing fourteen cohort studies were included in final analysis. The ...

BACKGROUND In peanut and tree nut allergic children a history of anaphylaxis is associated with subsequent severe reactions. OBJECTIVE We aimed to prospectively rechallenge peanut and tree nut allergic children with a history of mild/moderate reactions to assess their allergy over time. METHODS In this cohort study peanut and tree nut allergic children with a history of mild/moderate reacti...

In order to determine effect salicylic acid and Zn on characteristics of pistachio nut (Pistacia vera L. cv. Owhadi), the experiment was carried out as factorial in the framework of CRD design with three replications. The results showed that salicylic acid and Zn increased nut fresh weight and decreased blank nut percentage. The application of salicylic acid decreased splitting percentage and k...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Knowledge of the effect of nut consumption on metabolic syndrome (MetS) components is limited. We assessed the effects of nut intake on adiposity, serum lipids, insulin resistance, and inflammatory biomarkers in patients with MetS. METHODS AND RESULTS In a randomized, parallel-group, 12-week feeding trial, 50 patients with MetS were given recommendations for a healthy diet...

We investigated the effects of a high walnut diet and a high unsalted cashew nut diet on selected markers of the metabolic syndrome. In a randomized, parallel, controlled study design, sixty-four subjects having the metabolic syndrome (twenty-nine men, thirty-five women) with a mean age of 45 (sd 10) years and who met the selection criteria were all fed a 3-week run-in control diet. Hereafter, ...
