Case Report: Unusual Bullous Reaction to Physalia physalis Venom after Recurrent Envenomation
We report on two clinic visits of a patient who suffered from worsening reactions to recurrent P. physalis envenomation. The first clinical episode involved urticaria and severe pruritus that was worse than the pruritus the patient had experienced upon envenomation in the past. The second episode involved an unusual bullous reaction. Further study into the compounds present in P. physalis venom may help elucidate the mechanism of the present case and other abnormal reactions to envenomation. Patients and providers who care for patients at risk for recurrent stings (e.g., surfers, fishermen) should be cognizant of the poten...

Modelling of ultrasonic assisted osmotic dehydration of cape gooseberry using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS)
Ultrason Sonochem. 2023 Apr 29;96:106425. doi: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106425. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the present investigation, the cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) was preserved by the application of osmotic dehydration (sugar solution) with ultrasonication. The experiments were planned based on central composite circumscribed design with four independent variables and four dependent variables, which yielded 30 experimental runs. The four independent variables used were ultrasonication power (XP) with a range of 100-500 W, immersion time (XT) in the range of 30-55 min, solvent concentration (XC) of 45-65...

Hierarchically porous graphene-like biochar for efficient removal of aromatic pollutants and their structure-performance relationship: A combined experimental, MD and DFT study
Environ Pollut. 2023 May 2:121758. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121758. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDevelopment of high-efficiency adsorbents and exploration of the structure-performance relationship holds exciting implications for removal of aromatic pollutants (APs) from water. Herein, hierarchically porous graphene-like biochars (HGBs) were successfully prepared by K2CO3 simultaneous graphitization and activation of Physalis pubescens husk. The HGBs possess high specific surface area (1406-2369.7 m2/g), hierarchically meso-/microporous structure and high graphitization degree. The optimized HGB-2-9 sample exhibits rapid...

Physalis (Solanaceae, Solanoideae) is an American genus of ca. 90 species, with its diversity centered on Mexico. We recognize 61 species within the country, for which we provide a generic morphological description, an artificial key to determine species, and brief descriptions. We include distributions, habitats, diagnostic characters, phenology, and uses. Distribution maps and field photographs are also provided. We include conservation status as evaluated by the IUCN.
