Nuts hold prime significance throughout the world as they offer multiple health benefits owing to their highly nutritious profile. A number of scientific studies have demonstrated their actions against inflammation, oxidative damage, the aging process, as well as dementia or memory loss. However, only walnuts, followed by almonds, hazelnuts and pistachios, have shown promising results in empirical studies for memory improvements. So, the current review focuses on presenting hypotheses regarding anti-dementia property of nine different nuts: almond, walnut, pistachio, Brazil nut, peanut, pecans, cashew, hazelnut, and chestnut. The nutritious profile of nuts contains essential fats (mostly mono- and poly-unsaturated fatty acids), proteins (source for arginine, lysine and tryptophan), vitamins (riboflavin, folate, and various tocopherols), fibers, minerals (calcium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium) and trace elements (copper, zinc, and selenium). Interestingly, the constituents of natural products, nuts being an excellent example, work synergistically and/or in a side-effect neutralizing manner. These latter properties can make nuts an alternate therapy for humankind to fight against memory loss.

Abstract In this study, 13 Scotch grain whiskies and 34 Scotch malt whiskies were characterized by both chemical and physical analyses. In addition, 34 blended Scotch whiskies secured in the United States were examined. Official AOAC methods were used to determine the components commonly used in characterizing distilled spirits. In addition, potassium, sodium, copper, zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium, and lead were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Characteristics of the present samples are compared to American whiskies.

Positron motion has been observed in potassium, sodium, magnesium, and aluminum over a wide range of temperatures. The observations show that positrons are close to thermal equilibrium before annihilation even at liquid helium temperature. If a Gaussian momentum distribution is fitted to the data, it yields a positron apparent mass m*/m of 1.6 ± 0.1 in K, 1.55 ± 0.1 in Na, 1.2 ± 0.1 in Mg, and 1.3 ± 0.1 in Al. These new results are fairly close to the theoretical expectations, but show that the subject is not yet fully understood.

<p style="text-align: justify;">L'utilisation d'une unité de dialyse dans un système d'analyse par injection dans un flux (FIA) est décrite comme procédé de séparation entre deux flux des composés d'un échantillon. La détermination simultanée de deux espèces présentes dans une même solution injectée peut ainsi être réalisée en acheminant, après un traitement convenable, chacun des segments résultants vers deux détecteurs différents. Les déterminations simultanées des paires potassium / sodium, magnesium / sodium et calcium / potassium ont pu être effectuées. Les résultats des déterminations effectuées par FIA sont en accord avec ceux fournis par les méthodes de référence avec une cadence d'analyse de 240 déterminations par heure (120 pour chaque cation).</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Les auteurs ont déterminé, dans quelques vins grecs, les teneurs en lithium, potassium, sodium, magnésium, calcium, strontium, baryum, manganèse, fer et aluminium par spectrométrie d'émission à plasma (ICP). Les valeurs trouvées sont de même ordre de grandeur que celles données pour d'autres vins européens.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">+++</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The content of 22 commercial greek wines in Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Iron, Manganese, Strontium, Aluminium and Barium has been determineed using ICP, after acid digestion in quartz crucibles. The concentrations of the above metals were varied in levels similar to those of other European wines.</p>

Maternal breast milk is a unique biological matrix that contains essential micronutrients. Potentially heavy metals may also affect infants’ health and growth through maternal breast milk. The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the essential elements and heavy metals of maternal breast milk of nursery mothers residing in Şanlıurfa province, Turkey. Maternal breast milk concentrations of sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, iron, copper, zinc, arsenic, and lead were analyzed in a random sample of the first time in urban and suburban nursery Turkish mothers (n: 42). Eight essential elements and two heavy metals were analyzed using ICP-MS after microwave digestion. For bivariate analyses of variables, we use nonparametric Spearman’s correlation coefficient test. The mean concentrations of essential elements and heavy metals were as follows: sodium 330 ± 417 mg/L, magnesium 32.6 ± 15.5 mg/L, phosphorus 156 ± 46.2 mg/L, potassium 488 ± 146 mg/L, calcium 193 ± 53.2 mg/L, iron 1.65 ± 1.43 mg/L, copper 0.54 ± 0.46 mg/L, zinc 2.89 ± 3.23 mg/L, arsenic < 1 μg/L, and lead < 1 μg/L. Concentrations of heavy metals in maternal breast milk may have the important implication that it is not affected by environmental pollution in this province. This study provides reliable information about maternal breast milk concentrations of nursery mothers residing in Şanlıurfa, Turkey, and also compares the relations between essential elements and socioeconomic conditions, residing areas, and using copper equipment for food preparation of which some have not previously been reported.
