Evaluation of the Protoscolicidal Activity of < em > Humulus lupulus < /em > Methanolic Extracts on < em > Echinococcus granulosus Sensu Stricto < /em >
In conclusion, the methanolic extracts of the H. lupulus varieties Mapuche and Victoria demonstrated a marked in vitro effect against E. granulosus s.s. protoscoleces. The beer-making industry exclusively uses hop cones, leaving behind large amounts of hop leaves as an agricultural by-product that is not being utilized. On the basis of our study, we propose that hop leaves could also be used as a source of secondary metabolites with anthelmintic activity.PMID:38605998 | PMC:PMC11008976 | DOI:10.1155/2024/6251666 (Source: Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine)

Effects of Geometric Sound on Brainwave Activity Patterns, Autonomic Nervous System Markers, Emotional Response, and Faraday Wave Pattern Morphology
This study introduces Geometric Sound as a subfield of spatial sound featuring audio stimuli which are sonic holograms of mathematically defined 3D shapes. The effects of Geometric Sound on human physiology were investigated through EEG, heart rate, blood pressure, and a combination of questionnaires monitoring 50 healthy participants in two separate experiments. The impact of Geometric Sound on Faraday wave pattern morphology was further studied. The shapes examined, pyramid, cube, and sphere, exhibited varying significant effects on autonomic nervous system markers, brainwave power amplitude, topology, and connectivity p...

Effects of Sitting and Supine Positions on Tongue Color as Measured by Tongue Image Analyzing System and Its Relation to Biometric Information
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. 2024 Mar 23;2024:1209853. doi: 10.1155/2024/1209853. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTTongue diagnosis is one of the important diagnostic methods in Kampo (traditional Japanese) medicine, in which the color and shape of the tongue are used to determine the patient's constitution and systemic symptoms. Tongue diagnosis is performed with the patient in the sitting or supine positions; however, the differences in tongue color in these two different positions have not been analyzed. We developed tongue image analyzing system (TIAS), which can quantify tongue color by capturing tongue images in the s...

Research Status and Trends of Traditional Chinese Medicine Therapeutic Formulae for Coronary Heart Disease Scientometrics Research
CONCLUSION: This study shows that there are more types of TCM therapeutic formulae for CHD, and the related research has a good prospect. It is foreseeable that more relevant research results will rely on the study of network pharmacology, signalling pathways, and action targets of TCM therapeutic formulae.PMID:38495923 | PMC:PMC10944307 | DOI:10.2147/IJGM.S450876 (Source: Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine)
