The green walnut, which is frequently overlooked in favor of its more mature sibling, is becoming a topic of great significance because of its unique ecological role, culinary flexibility, and therapeutic richness. The investigation of the bioactive substances found in green walnuts and their possible effects on human health has therapeutic potential. L. is an important ecological component that affects soil health, biodiversity, and the overall ecological dynamic in habitats. Comprehending and recording these consequences are essential for environmental management and sustainable land-use strategies. Regarding cuisine, while black walnuts are frequently the main attraction, green walnuts have distinct tastes and textures that are used in a variety of dishes. Culinary innovation and the preservation of cultural food heritage depend on the understanding and exploration of these gastronomic characteristics. Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals are abundant in green walnuts, which have a comprehensive nutritional profile. Walnuts possess a wide range of pharmacological properties, including antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and cognitive-function-enhancing properties. Consuming green walnuts as part of one's diet helps with antioxidant defense, cardiovascular health, and general well-being. L., with its distinctive flavor and texture combination, is not only a delicious food but also supports sustainable nutrition practices. This review explores the nutritional and pharmacological properties of green walnuts, which can be further used for studies in various food and pharmaceutical applications.

Background: Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has been used for over 50 years to treat chronic pain by delivering electrical pulses through small electrodes placed near targeted peripheral nerves those outside the brain and spinal cord. Early PNS systems often required invasive neurosurgical procedures. However, since 2015, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved percutaneously implanted PNS leads and neurostimulators offering a much less invasive, non-opioid option for managing recalcitrant chronic pain.

The environmental implications of utilizing walnut shells (WSs) as a material for energy storage are complex, balanced between advancing technologies and improving efficiency. This review aims to address, for the first time, environmental concerns and health effects associated with this material by conducting an in-depth analysis of carbon materials derived from waste management systems. Beginning with a reevaluation of the structural characteristics, cellular morphology, and physicochemical properties of WSs, this study explores their potential for the efficient synthesis of carbon.

Article Synopsis
- Swales, an economical method for managing roadway runoff, were tested in Raleigh, North Carolina, focusing on design factors like length, shape, and slope to determine their effectiveness against stormwater pollutants.
- Results showed that longer (30 m) and flatter (1%) trapezoidal swales achieved the best reductions in sediment and heavy metals during smaller storms, although larger storms showed less effectiveness.
- The study concluded that maximizing swale length, using a trapezoidal design, and maintaining proper vegetation are crucial for optimizing swale performance in pollutant mitigation.

In northwest China, changes in cultivation patterns and the scarcity of preferred hosts have forced to feed on the marginal host walnut (). However, the mechanisms allowing this adaptation remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the behavioral, physiological, and molecular mechanisms underlying the local adaptation of this pest to walnut fruits.
