(1) The signal for RBC removal: in analogy with a recent model for recognition and removal of oxidant-stressed or senescent RBC, we propose removal of fava bean damaged RBC be mediated by apposition of antiband 3 antibodies and complement C3 fragments, recognized as non-self recognition signal by monocytes and macrophages.
(2) Toxic substances of Vicia faba and their mechanism of action: treatment of G6PD-deficient RBC with divicine or isouramil (redox substances present in fava beans) provokes the same changes as observed during favism.
(3) Favism, a hemolytic condition associated with fava bean consumption among the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient persons, is well described in the Middle East and Mediterranean areas.
(4) Fava beans (Vicia fava) are cultivated rather widely in most countries of the Eastern Mediterranean area and provide a cheap but protein-rich food that can be eaten alone, in various culinary preparations, including bread, or as a dietary supplement.
(5) Haemolytic crises occurring in G6PD-deficient individuals after ingestion of fava beans (favism) are much less frequent than in the past.
(6) Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an X-linked genetic disorder which can lead to acute haemolytic anaemia following ingestion of fava beans and the administration of certain drugs, mainly in subjects with bacterial or viral infections.
(7) No more coexistence based on hummus and fava beans.
(8) This may be due to the presence of different G6PD mutants to those found elsewhere or due to different consumption patterns of fava beans among the Thais compared to people in other areas with high prevalence of G6PD deficiency.
(9) Favism is an acute hemolytic anemia triggered by ingestion of fava beans in genetically susceptible subjects with severe deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity.
(10) Montero says: “Ours is a free, spontaneous and creative cuisine – we are an experimental, investigative laboratory whose project is to bring to light a great range of little-known edible products, inspired by our own experiences in the kitchen.” A tostada – crispy-fried, house-made corn tortilla – comes topped with smoked trout from nearby mountain streams, fresh fava beans, wild greens and edible flowers.
(11) A case of vitreo retinal hemorrhages following a hemolytic crisis by fava beans in a G-6-DP-deficient patient is reported.
(12) The purposes of this study were to define the epidemiology of favism, to evaluate the advisability of using the fava bean in a weaning food, and to suggest ways of avoiding or eliminating the toxic factor in the bean.
(13) The apparent association constants were 3.6 and 1.3 muM-1 for concanavalin A, 3.9 muM-1 for fava, 4.2 muM-1 for lentil and 4.6 and 0.6 muM-1 for pea.
(14) RBCs from four glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)-deficient (Mediterranean variant) subjects were studied during fava bean hemolysis.
(15) It can also lead to life-threatening haemolytic crises in childhood and at later ages, by interacting with specific drugs and with fava beans in the diet.
(16) Extracts of seeds of pea (Pisum sativum) or fava bean (Vicia fava) were subjected to two-dimensional agarose gel electrophoresis, in which the first dimension was ordinary agarose gel electrophoresis and the second dimension was affinophoresis with the affinophore.
(17) Field observations, locally acquired data, and a literature review suggested that the use of the fava bean in a weaning food would be hazardous, but that the hazard might be overcome by using certain strains of the bean or, more particularly, by using old dried beans.
(18) Divicine and isouramil are produced on hydrolysis of the fava bean glycosides, vicine and convicine.
(19) Sheep with low levels of erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and reduced glutathione were given large doses of oxidizing drugs or fed fresh fava beans to determine if they would develop intravascular hemolysis.
(20) Competitive inhibition studies showed that lentil was a good inhibitor of pea binding; concanavalin A was a poor inhibitor of pea binding; and fava was a better inhibitor than concanavalin A but not as good as lentil.
Favus
Definition:
(n.) A disease of the scalp, produced by a vegetable parasite.
(n.) A tile or flagstone cut into an hexagonal shape to produce a honeycomb pattern, as in a pavement; -- called also favas and sectila.
Example Sentences:
(1) In the tropical regions, trichophytosis caused by endothrix-species are often of inflammatory nature, the favus appears often without scutula formation (afavic).
(2) In 1839 Johann Lucas Schönlein discovered fungal elements within the lesions of favus of man.
(3) Twenty indigenous cases of favus in two families residing in the province of Quebec were studied.
(4) A Trichophyton schoenleinii (T. schoenleinii) strain from tinea favus was cultured in a liquid medium, from which an extracellular keratinase extract was obtained.
(5) The ultrastructure of 5 griseofulvin-resistant fungi of favus was studied by image processing with microcomputer.
(6) His 3 important discoveries, all made during his years in Zurich, were published on a total of 3 printed pages: so-called typhoid crystals in patients' stools (1836), "peliosis rheumatica" (1837), and - most important - the causative agent of favus (1839), a fungus later named Achorion schoenleinii.
(7) Less frequently encountered conditions include creeping eruption, favus, fowl-mite dermatitis and allergic dermatitis.
(8) Favus, or avian ringworm, was diagnosed in a backyard flock of game chickens from which Microsporum gallinae was isolated.
