We report a case of fulminant liver failure resulting in emergent liver transplantation following 3 weeks of nausea, vomiting, and malaise from Jamaican Vomiting Sickness. Jamaican Vomiting Sickness is caused by ingestion of the unripe arils of the Ackee fruit, its seeds and husks. It is characterized by acute gastrointestinal illness and hypoglycemia. In severe cases, central nervous system de...

Subgeneric groups have been circumscribed in Iris based on a small number of morphological characters. Recent DNA sequence data has indicated that several of the subgenera, sections, and series that have previously been delineated are paraphyletic or polyphyletic. The evolution of characters that have traditionally been used to distinguish sub generic and sectional groups within Iris was invest...

Worldwide pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) production has expanded greatly due to recent evidence on the fruit health attributes. The fruit's unique red color, conferred by anthocyanins, is an imperative sensory quality. Climate effects on the fruit's internal color were reported earlier. The present study investigated the influence of a wide range of temperature regimes (∼7-40 °C) on pomegrana...

Two pomegranate cultivars, Mollar de Elche, native to Spain, and Wonderful, the most widely cultivated variety in world, were studied a commercial orchard Sicily, their phenological behavior was compared. During development of fruit, dimensional growth monitored, after harvest, physicochemical sensory analyses carried out highlight differences between fruit two cultivars. Results showed that El...

The aim of the study was to develop an efficient and cost-effective method for fatty acids lycopene separation from Gac aril by using flash extraction. extraction efficiency (EE) investigated. When 22 mL anhydrous ethanol per gram solid agitated at 3,000 rpm (revolutions minute) 100 s, highest EE reached 88.48%, then 98.27% achieved after saponification refining. After acid extraction, extracte...
