Effect of Nonpharmacological Methods on Pruritus in Patients with Liver Disease and Liver Cirrhosis: Systematic Review
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the findings, nonpharmacological methods have a positive effect on itching in individuals with liver disease and liver cirrhosis. It is recommended to conduct more studies with higher methodological quality, using larger sample groups, different interventions, randomization, and blinding methods, to examine the effectiveness of nonpharmacological methods in patients with liver disease and liver cirrhosis.PMID:38702165 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)

Unraveling molecular advancements in chordoma tumorigenesis and treatment response: a review of scientific discoveries and clinical implications
Neurosurg Focus. 2024 May;56(5):E18. doi: 10.3171/2024.2.FOCUS2417.ABSTRACTChordomas are tumors thought to originate from notochordal remnants that occur in midline structures from the cloves of the skull base to the sacrum. In adults, the most common location is the sacrum, followed by the clivus and then mobile spine, while in children a clival origin is most common. Most chordomas are slow growing. Clinical presentation of chordomas tend to occur late, with local invasion and large size often complicating surgical intervention. Radiation therapy with protons has been proven to be an effective adjuvant therapy. Unfortuna...

A novel biopolymeric composite edible film based on sunnhemp protein isolate and potato starch incorporated with clove oil: Fabrication, characterization, and amino acid composition
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Apr 29:131940. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131940. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTComposite edible films were developed by casting method using sunnhemp protein isolate (SHPI) and potato starch (PS) at various proportions (100:0, 90:10, 80:20; 70:30, 60:40, and 50:50) containing glycerol as a plasticizer and clove oil. All the edible films were evaluated for thickness, moisture content, solubility, swelling ratio, water activity. Further characterization of edible films was done on the basis of mechanical, optical, thermal and structural attributes along with morphology. Among all the films, compo...

In vivo determination of the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of the aqueous extract of Syzygium aromaticum (clove) in an asthmatic rat model
This study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of an Aqueous Extract of Clove (AEC) Syzygium aromaticum on the lungs and erythrocytes of an experimental asthma model in Wistar rats. For this purpose, four groups of male rats were examined: control, sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA), treated with AEC, and treated with a combination of OVA/AEC. After treatment, the antioxidant effect was determined by measuring the malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione (GSH), and catalase (CAT) levels. The anti-inflammatory effect was determined by measuring IL-4 levels by performing enzym...

Oleanolic acid: an antimycobacterial component of < em > Syzygium aromaticum < /em > L. and inhibitor of efflux mediated drug resistance
Nat Prod Res. 2024 Apr 18:1-7. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2024.2343916. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOleanolic acid (OA) was isolated from Syzygium aromaticum L. buds, and structurally characterised using different spectroscopic techniques; MS, IR,1H/13C-NMR and 2D NMR experiments. The antimycobacterial activity according to a resazurin microtiter assay (REMA) showed important inhibitory effect of OA on the virulent H37Rv strain, with the lowest minimum concentration of 50 µg/mL, compared to other fractions. Molecular docking of OA with BacA drug efflux pump resulted in good binding affinity of hydrophobic interaction type. T...
