Traditional Medicinal Uses, Phytoconstituents, Bioactivities, and Toxicities of Erythrina abyssinica Lam. ex DC. (Fabaceae): A Systematic Review. [PDF]
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2021 Background. Many studies have been undertaken on the medicinal values of Erythrina abyssinica Lam. ex DC. (Fabaceae). The details, however, are highly fragmented in different journals, libraries, and other publication media. This study was therefore conducted to provide a comprehensive report on its ethnobotany, ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemicals, and

Removal of an upper third molar from the maxillary sinus. [PDF]
Case Rep Dent, 2015 The maxillary sinus or antrum is the largest of the paranasal sinuses. It is located in the maxillary bone and has a proximity to the apexes of upper molars and premolars, which allows it to form a direct link between the sinus and the oral cavity. Dislocation of a foreign body or tooth to the interior of a paranasal sinus is a situation that can occur

Mutation of Cultural Information on the Use of Plant Complexes in Local Medical Systems
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Despite being an affable strategy of adaptive expectation, the transmission of cultural information can result in unintended changes in the information. This is known as “mutation” in the theory of cultural evolution. The occurrence of information mutations in local medical systems may be greater in some situations.

Antinociceptive activity of the chloroform fraction of Dioclea virgata (Rich.) Amshoff (Fabaceae) in mice. [PDF]
J Biomed Biotechnol, 2011 Acute treatment with the chloroform fraction of Dioclea virgata (Rich.) Amshoff (CFDv) in mice produced decreased ambulation and sedation in the behavioral pharmacological screening. Doses of 125 and 250 mg/kg CFDv decreased latency of sleep onset in the test of sleeping time potentiation. In the open field, animals treated with CFDv reduced ambulation
