Effect of Debittering with Different Solvents and Ultrasound on Carotenoids, Tocopherols, and Phenolics of Seeds.

Lupin seeds represent a rich nutritional source of bioactive compounds, including antioxidant molecules such as carotenoids, tocopherols, and phenolics. However, before consumption, the lupin seeds must be debittered in order to remove their bitter and toxic alkaloids. This study analyzed the impact on the bioactive compounds of seeds of a recent time- and water-saving debittering method, which employs alternative washing solutions (0.

Pure alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the corpus uteri: description of a case with increased serum level of CA-125.

We report a morphological and immunohistochemical study of a case of pure alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the uterus in an 80-year-old woman. The diagnostic clues were the characteristic "alveolar" pattern of growth, the evidence of cross-striations in strap or elongated cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasms, the presence of multinucleated cells with peripherally placed "wreathlike" nuclei, and the expression of muscular antigens by the tumor cells. A thorough sampling of the tumor excluded areas of other types of heterologous or homologous sarcomas or the presence of coexisting adenoma or carcinoma.
