Characterization of cytotoxic activity of compounds derived from anacardic acid, cardanol and cardol in oral squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]

BMC Proceedings, 2014
Background Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, and oral cancer ranks tenth among all types [1]. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery are current therapeutic options; however these are not fully efficient. Permanent functional impairment and aesthetic scars are frequent [2].

A Scoping Review of Health‐Related Self‐Management Approaches for Adults With Intellectual Disabilities

Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, Volume 38, Issue 3, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background The global rise in chronic health conditions highlights the importance of self‐management in empowering people to actively participate in their healthcare. People with intellectual disabilities are disproportionately affected by these conditions and face barriers in accessing self‐management interventions. Method This scoping review

Optimising the Decarboxylation of Anacardic Acid by Exploring the Temperature Effects

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) is one of the raw materials extracted from cashew nut shells (CNS). This liquid can be processed to produce cardanol through the decarboxylation of anacardic acid, a significant isolate from CNSL. The decarboxylation process involves heating anacardic acid to a favourable reaction temperature.

Changing patterns of home visiting in general practice: an analysis of electronic medical records

BMC Family Practice, 2006
Background In most European countries and North America the number of home visits carried out by GPs has been decreasing sharply. This has been influenced by non-medical factors such as mobility and pressures on time.

The Inhibition of Uric Acid Formation Catalyzed by Xanthine Oxidase Properties of the Alkyl Caffeates and Cardol

Journal of Food Research, 2012
Xanthine oxidase inhibitors may serve as therapeutic agents for hyperuricaemia and/or oxidative stress. From our continuing investigation, we proposed that some inhibitors for reactions catalyzed by xanthine oxidase consisted of a head portion and a tail portion and that each portion had different functions for inhibition.

The blue–green light‐dependent state transition in the marine phytoplankton Ostreococcus tauri

New Phytologist, Volume 244, Issue 5, Page 1837-1846, December 2024.
Summary We explored the adaptive mechanisms of Ostreococcus tauri, a marine picophytoplankton with a ubiquitous ocean presence. We aimed to understand its photosynthetic acclimation, as featured in the cryo‐EM structure of its photosystem I (PSI) supercomplex.

Identifying the gene responsible for non‐photochemical quenching reversal in Phaeodactylum tricornutum

The Plant Journal, Volume 120, Issue 5, Page 2113-2126, December 2024.
SUMMARY Algae such as diatoms and haptophytes have distinct photosynthetic pigments from plants, including a novel set of carotenoids. This includes a primary xanthophyll cycle comprised of diadinoxanthin and its de‐epoxidation product diatoxanthin that enables the switch between light harvesting and non‐photochemical quenching (NPQ)‐mediated ...

Striking variations in consultation rates with general practice reveal family influence

BMC Family Practice, 2007
Background The reasons why patients decide to consult a general practitioner vary enormously. While there may be individual reasons for this variation, the family context has a significant and unique influence upon the frequency of individuals' visits ...
