Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 4403: Development and Validation of the UPLC-DAD Methodology for the Detection of Triterpenoids and Phytosterols in Fruit Samples of Vaccinium Macrocarpon Aiton and Vaccinium Oxycoccos L.
ras Janulis Cranberries are used in the production of medicinal preparations and food supplements, which highlights the importance of triterpene compounds determination in cranberry fruit raw material. The aim of our study was to develop and validate for routine testing suitable UPLC-DAD methodology for the evaluation of triterpene acids, neutral triterpenoids, phytosterols, and squalene content in cranberry samples. The developed and optimized UPLC-DAD methodology was validated according to the guidelines of the International Council for Harmonization (ICH), evaluating the following parameters: range, specificity, lin...

< em > Chromobacterium alticapitis < /em > sp. nov. and < em > Chromobacterium sinusclupearum < /em > sp. nov. isolated from wild cranberry bogs in the Cape Cod National Seashore, USA
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2022 Jun;72(6). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.005410.ABSTRACTTwo non-pigmented strains in the genus Chromobacterium, MWU14-2602T and MWU13-2610T, were isolated from wild cranberry bogs in the Cape Cod National Seashore, USA. The isolates were characterized by genomic and phenotypic analyses, the results of which indicated that they represent two novel species. Based on total genome sequences, the closest relatives were in the Chromobacterium amazonense group, which includes the recently described Chromobacterium paludis. Whole genome sequences were compared by genome blast distance phylogeny, digital DNA-...

Evaluating perceptions and usage of natural remedies, herbal medicine, and dietary supplements for kidney stones among a diverse, international, urban patient population
AbstractOur goal was to assess the use and perceptions of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for kidney stones among a diverse, urban population. This was a cross-sectional study of patients treated for kidney stones in the Bronx, NY. We assessed demographic information, personal history of kidney stones, as well as knowledge and use of CAM for kidney stones. Patient demographics and responses were analyzed using chi-squared,t tests, and binomial logistic regression. 113 patients were surveyed. 90% identified as non-white, of whom 58% indicated Hispanic, 46% Latinx, and 23% Black. 56% of patients were born outsid...

Non-antibiotic Prophylaxis of Infections
Praxis (Bern 1994). 2022;111(8):463-468. doi: 10.1024/1661-8157/a003822.ABSTRACTNon-antibiotic Prophylaxis of Infections Abstract. The increasing resistance to antibiotics makes the search for non-antibiotic alternatives for the treatment and prevention of - above all - respiratory and urinary tract infections crucial. Potential non-antibiotic approaches include phytopharmaceuticals (Echinacea purpurea, Pelargonium sidoides, cranberry extract), zinc, immunostimulants (OM-85 BV, OM-89), and behavior modifications. Some of these approaches are promising options; however, a high level of evidence is required before specific r...
