The application of mirabilite in traditional Chinese medicine and its chemical constituents, processing methods, pharmacology, toxicology and clinical research
Conclusion: Mirabilite has good application prospects in traditional Chinese medicine and ethnomedicine. In-depth research on its processing methods, active ingredients, quality control, pharmacokinetics, pharmacological and toxicological mechanisms, and standardized clinical application is needed. This paper provides a reference for the application and research of mirabilite in the future. (Source: Frontiers in Pharmacology)

Management of Acute Hemorrhoidal Crisis: Evaluation, Treatment, and Special Considerations
Clin Colon Rectal Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1777663Hemorrhoidal disease is one of most common pathologies seen by colorectal and general surgeons. Although hemorrhoids themselves are a normal anatomic occurrence, development of symptomatic disease, usually due to bleeding, prolapse, or thrombosis, can cause significant patient distress. Acute presentation related to significant thrombosis or bleeding is referred to as acute hemorrhoidal crisis. Management of this pathology varies from nonoperative intervention for symptom control to definitive incisional or excisional hemorrhoidectomy. Here we will explore the approach to e...

Thrombosed external hemorrhoids during pregnancy: surgery versus conservative treatment
This study aims to compare efficacy and safety of conservative versus surgical treatment of acute TEH in pregnant women. Furthermore, the outcome of two different surgical approaches was evaluated. This is a prospective observational study including a sub-analysis on two randomized groups of pregnant women affected by TEH. The primary outcome measured was the impact of conservative and surgical treatment defined in terms of VAS, clinical patient grading assessment scale (CPGAS) and the SF-12 questionnaire. In a randomized sub-analysis of the surgical treatment, the outcome of local excision (LE) versus thrombectomy (TE) wa...

Evolution of microbiome composition, antibiotic resistance gene loads, and nitrification during the on-farm composting of the solid fraction of pig slurry using two bulking agents
Environ Res. 2023 Dec 16:117944. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117944. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTComposting is a nature-based method used to stabilize organic matter and to transform nitrogen from animal farm manure or solid fraction of slurry (SFS). The use of composted material as source of nutrients for agriculture is limited by its potential to facilitate the propagation of biological hazards like pathogens and antibiotic-resistant bacteria and their associated antibiotic-resistance genes (ARG). We show here an experimental on-farm composting (one single batch) of pig SFS, performed under realistic conditions (under d...

African animals prefer to graze in spots once inhabited by Iron Age humans
Survey a savanna bush in southern Africa, where a sea of tall grasses sways in the wind, dotted with herds of antelope, shrubs, and acacia trees, and you might think you were in a pristine landscape untouched by humans. But the continent’s grazing animals know better. Impala and greater kudu, African antelope species, prefer to forage on land once covered by 1800-year-old Iron Age homes and cattle enclosures, because more kinds of nutrient-rich grasses grow there today, a team of researchers based in Zimbabwe and Botswana reports this month in the Journal of Arid Environments . The work adds to...

Management of Hemorrhoids and Anal Fissures
Hemorrhoids and anal fissures are two of the most common benign anorectal diseases. Despite their high prevalence, diagnostic accuracy of benign anorectal disease is suboptimal at 70% for surgeons, especially for hemorrhoidal diseases. Once the diagnosis is correctly made, numerous medical and surgical treatment options are available, each with different rates of success and complications. In this article, the authors review each step of patient management, with emphasis on evidence-based treatment options for hemorrhoids and anal fissures. The article discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, medical management, and proce...
