We report a case of oncogenic osteomalacia associated with a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor in a 31-year-old woman. She was presented with severe generalized bone and muscle pain and was restricted to bed. She lost 20 cm in height over the 8 years since she had first noticed a pain in her thigh. A
The occurrence of spontaneous osteochondroma in rats is extremely rare and only a few cases have been reported. Spontaneous multiple osteochondroma was found in a male SD strain rat, at the age of 58 weeks from the control group in a toxicity study. Histological findings of both a walnut-sized mass
A 10-year-old boy presented with a painless progressive swelling on the nape of the neck of 8 years' duration. When the child was 1 year old, the swelling appeared as a minute raised skin eruption the size of a pearl at the back of the neck. It was painless and progressive, continuing to increase in
This study evaluated a possible fitness advantage, specifically time savings, that might account for an unusual propensity in walnut flies (Rhagoletis spp.) to superparasitize their walnut hosts and to place eggs into existing egg-laying cavities. The first part of this study demonstrated that, in
Plant non-specific lipid transfer proteins type 1 (nsLTP1) are small basic proteins with a hydrophobic cavity able to host a number of different ligands: i.e. fatty acids, fatty acyl-CoA, phospholipids, glycolipids, and hydroxylated fatty acids. However, ligand binding specificity differs among
Herein, to cope with the volume variation problem of SnO2 anodes for lithium-ion batteries, individual walnut core-like hollow carbon micro/nanospheres (WCSs) have been prepared to be used as a supporting skeleton to form WCSs@SnOx@C composite. In WCSs@SnOx@C the
Juglans regia L. bark is used in some countries as a toothbrush and as a dye for coloring the lips for cosmetic purposes. Its extract showed a broad spectrum antimicrobial activity in a dose dependent manner. It inhibited the growth of several species of pathogenic micro-organisms representing
The biological effect of exposure to wood dust depends on its composition and the content of microorganisms which are an inherent element of the dust. The irritant and allergic effects of wood dust have been recognised for a long time. The allergic effect is caused by the wood dust of subtropical
Case report on a 39-year-old man who for five years suffered from a recurrent, firm, crepitant swelling in the medial canthal region after coughing and sneezing. The swelling could be eliminated by digital compression. During a severe bout of sneezing a walnut-sized swelling suddenly occurred which
In 1883 Krönlein resected a sarcoma of the ribs in an 18 year old female. Six months later he reoperated the patient for a local recurrency. At the second operation which necessitated a wide exposure of the thoracic cavity he deliberately removed a pulmonary metastasis about the size of a walnut.
Gustatory fatty acid signaling termed "fatty acid taste" is initiated when nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) bind to putative fat receptors on taste receptor cells. However, the source and quantity of NEFA in the oral cavity of humans are unresolved. Dietary fat is comprised predominantly of
Exploring the dielectric properties of mineral-biomass mixtures is fundamental to the coupled application with biomass pyrolysis and microwave technology to mineral reduction. In this work, the microwave dielectric properties of five pyrolusite-biomass mixtures were measured by resonant cavity
