demonstrates that pistachios consumption can elicit a beneficial effect on some cardiometabolic risk factors. All previous clinical studies are well designed but some points have still remained unclear including the effects of different pistachios dosages on cardio metabolic risk factors and efficacy of pistachios consumption in preventing endothelial dysfunction. Further examination is required to determine the effect of pistachios consumption on further endothelial function risk factors. This study examined the perception and experience of hospitalized palliative care eligible patients receiving massage therapy from specially trained massaged therapist. Twenty hospitalized palliative care eligible patients received three differing doses of massage therapy from specially trained massage therapists. Patients were interviewed about their experience and perception related to the massage. Open-ended data were collected and analyzed using a grounded theory approach. 912-bed tertiary hospital center in Washington, DC. Participants generally perceived the hospital-based massage experience positively. Participants noted how the massage experience provoked reflection on the overall hospital experience in two ways first, as a reference point to the inpatient environment itself, and second, in terms of how massage reduces this distress and creates a sense of peace, at least temporarily. The data collected in these semi-structured interviews showed that massage therapy can uniquely ameliorate some of the most pervasive challenges to quality of life for hospitalized patients affected by chronic and serious illness.

Parkinson's is a common, progressive, neurodegenerative movement disorder of the central nervous system. Research has consistently shown that dancing can have a positive impact on the lives of people living with Parkinson's (PwP). PwP who dance report that current measurement of the effects fails to appreciate the multifactorial presentation of the condition as well as the biopsychosocial potential of dance holistically. To explore the feasibility of combining measurements of whole-body movement using 3-dimensional motion analysis with the lived experience of dance for PwP, to see if it is possible to 'see (measure)' what PwP say they 'feel (experience)' when dancing, in a 'mind/body approach' METHOD Thirteen PwP and ten Carers took part in three community delivered 'Parkinson's Dance Science' classes followed by focus group reflection. Three PwP wore a 3-dimensional, motion capture suit that recorded whole-body movement throughout the class and were interviewed about their experiences. Data were analyseeir peers against biomechanical change ('what you see') following dance is feasible. Further research is required to develop the method with a larger sample to truly begin to understand the potential and effects of dance for PwP. A 'Convergent Parallel' mixed methods research design, mapping the experience of dance for PwP ('what I feel') and their peers against biomechanical change ('what you see') following dance is feasible. Further research is required to develop the method with a larger sample to truly begin to understand the potential and effects of dance for PwP. Walnut intake is considered a healthy dietary approach worldwide, particularly as a nutritional tool for the management of obesity and cardiometabolic disorders. CWI1-2 molecular weight Among these lines, leptin and adiponectin, as well as glycemic biomarkers, deserve further attention. We aimed to examine the impact of walnut intake on circulation levels of leptin and adiponectin through a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinic
