Folk medicine for the treatment of eye diseases in dalmatia in the 19th century
Acta Med Hist Adriat. 2023 Jul 18;21(1):171-184. doi: 10.31952/amha.21.1.8.ABSTRACTFolk medicine is a traditional medical practice in the general population, especially in rural areas. Traditional medicine methods used herbal remedies as well as human and animal substances and minerals. The most commonly used drugs in the treatment of eye diseases were drugs of plant origin like chamomile, eyebright and greater celandine, then drugs of human and animal origin like breast milk, saliva, honey, animal bile, and copper sulfate from mineral origin. There is little information in the literature discussing the folk treatment of o...

Laboratory analysis and ray visualization of diffractive optics with enhanced intermediate vision
CONCLUSIONS: When tested with an aberration-free model cornea under monochromatic conditions, the Proming behaved as a low-add bifocal lens; however, its properties did not differ much from the well-established AT LARA EDOF IOL. The AT LARA outperformed the Proming at low defocus (up to 2D), while the latter demonstrated better image quality in the 2-3D range.PMID:33941125 | DOI:10.1186/s12886-021-01958-8 (Source: Methods of Information in Medicine)

The Complete Chloroplast Genome of Euphrasia regelii, Pseudogenization of ndh Genes and the Phylogenetic Relationships Within Orobanchaceae
Euphrasia (Orobanchaceae) is a genus which is widely distributed in temperate regions of the southern and northern hemisphere. The taxonomy of Euphrasia is still controversial due to the similarity of morphological characters and a lack of genomic resources. Here, we present the first complete chloroplast (cp) genome of this taxonomically challenging genus. The cp genome of E. regelii consists of 153,026 bp, including a large single-copy region (83,893 bp), a small single-copy region (15,801 bp) and two inverted repeats (26,666 bp). There are 105 unique genes, including 71 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA and 4 rRNA genes. Al...

Minor acetylated metabolites from Euphrasia rostkoviana.
Abstract
The phenylethanoids rostkovianoside, 6'-O-acetylcrassifolioside and the flavonoid rutin 3‴-acetate, were isolated from the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Euphrasia rostkoviana Hayne. The structures of these previously undescribed compounds were elucidated by interpretation of spectroscopic data. The acetylation of rutin was also carried out and four ester derivatives were spectroscopically characterized. Finally, a chromatographic method was established to easily identify the acetylated position.

Authors: Goryluk-Salmonowicz A, Piórek M, Rekosz-Burlaga H, Studnicki M, Błaszczyk M
Abstract
A total of 181 cultivable endophytic bacterial isolates were collected from stems of 13 species of herbs inhabiting Europe (Poland): Chelidonium majus L., Elymus repens L., Erigeron annuus L., Euphrasia rostkoviana Hayne, Foeniculum vulgare L., Geranium pratense L., Humulus lupulus L., Matricaria chamomilla L., Mentha arvensis L., Papaver rhoeas L., Rosmarinus officinalis L., Solidago gigantea L. and Vinca minor L. The isolates were screened for their antifungal activity and fifty three were found to inhibit fun...

Ecofriendly synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles by Euphrasia officinalis leaf extract and its biomedical applications.
Authors: Singh H, Du J, Singh P, Yi TH
Abstract
Biogenic synthesis of silver (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using aqueous extract of Euphrasia officinalis has been reported. Stable AgNPs and AuNPs were formed on adding aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and chloroauric acid with E. officinalis leaf extract, in 19 min and 2 min, respectively. The synthesis method used in present study was simple, reliable, rapid, cost effective and ecofriendly. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized with field emission transmission electron microscopy (FE-TEM), elemental mapping, selected area diffrac...
