| oecophylla longinoda (hymenoptera: formicidae) lead to increased cashew kernel size and kernel quality. | weaver ants, oecophylla spp., are known to positively affect cashew, anacardium occidentale l., raw nut yield, but their effects on the kernels have not been reported. we compared nut size and the proportion of marketable kernels between raw nuts collected from trees with and without ants. raw nuts collected from trees with weaver ants were 2.9% larger than nuts from control trees (i.e., without weaver ants), leading to 14% higher proportion of marketable kernels. on trees with ants, the kernel: ... | 2017 | 28334289 |
| evaluation of administered dose using portal images in craniospinal irradiation of pediatric patients. | this study aimed to assess the administered dose based on portal imaging in craniospinal pediatric irradiation by evaluating cases in which portal images did or did not account for the total administered dose. we also intended to calculate the mean increase in total administered dose. data were collected from general university hospital gregorio marañón; we evaluated the total dose administered, total dose planned, number of portal images per treatment and corresponding monitor units of two diff ... | 2017 | 28324390 |
| anacardic acid constituents from cashew nut shell liquid: nmr characterization and the effect of unsaturation on its biological activities. | anacardic acids are the main constituents of natural cashew nut shell liquid (cnsl), obtained via the extraction of cashew shells with hexane at room temperature. this raw material presents high technological potential due to its various biological properties. the main components of cnsl are the anacardic acids, salicylic acid derivatives presenting a side chain of fifteen carbon atoms with different degrees of unsaturation (monoene-15:1, diene-15:2, and triene-15:3). each constituent was isolat ... | 2017 | 28300791 |
| identification of compounds with cytotoxic activity from the leaf of the nigerian medicinal plant, anacardium occidentale l. (anacardiaceae). | cancer is now the second-leading cause of mortality and morbidity, behind only heart disease, necessitating urgent development of (chemo)therapeutic interventions to stem the growing burden of cancer cases and cancer death. plants represent a credible source of promising drug leads in this regard, with a long history of proven use in the indigenous treatment of cancer. this study therefore investigated anacardium occidentale, one of the plants in a nigerian traditional medicine formulation commo ... | 2017 | 28291684 |
| combined therapy using low level laser and chitosan-policaju hydrogel for wound healing. | we have evaluated the effect of poli-chi hydrogel based on policaju (poli) from cashew tree (anacardium occidentale l.) gum and chitosan (chi), associated or not with low level laser therapy (lllt), in wound healing. sixty male wistar rats were assigned into four groups: poli-chi hydrogel (h); lllt (l); poli-chi with lllt (hl) and saline control (c). macroscopic evaluations were carried out using clinical observations and area measurements, as well as microscopic analysis by histological criteri ... | 2017 | 27851931 |
| uplc-qtof-ms/ms-based phenolic profile and their biosynthetic enzyme activity used to discriminate between cashew apple (anacardium occidentale l.) maturation stages. | cashew immature and ripe peduncles (anacardium occidentale l.) from orange- and red-colored clones ccp 76 and brs 189, respectively, were prepared as juice or fibrous fraction and submitted to uplc-ms analyses, while the soluble fraction was also submitted to enzymatic evaluation. cinnamoyl glucoside was present in ripe juice samples from both cashew clones, while monogalloyl diglucoside and digalloyl glucoside were present in immature juice samples from both cashew clones. four compounds were f ... | 2017 | 28285020 |

| isolation with asymmetric gene flow during the nonsynchronous divergence of dry forest birds. | dry forest bird communities in south america are often fragmented by intervening mountains and rainforests, generating high local endemism. the historical assembly of dry forest communities likely results from dynamic processes linked to numerous population histories among codistributed species. nevertheless, species may diversify in the same way through time if landscape and environmental features, or species ecologies, similarly structure populations. here we tested whether six co-distributed ... | 2017 | 28100029 |
