Ethnopharmacology
Ethnopharmacology is one of the world’s fastest-growing scientific disciplines encompassing a diverse range of subjects. It links natural sciences research on medicinal, aromatic and toxic plants with socio-cultural studies and has often been associated with the development of new drugs. The Editors of Ethnopharmacology have assembled an international team of renowned contributors to provide a critical synthesis of the substantial body of new knowledge and evidence on the subject that has emerged over the past decade. Divided into three parts, the book begins with an overview of the subject including a brief history, ethnopharmacological methods, the role of intellectual property protectio...
Recent advances in the treatment of epilepsy
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological chronic disorders characterized by unpredictable recurrent seizures, which leads to brain dysfunction, cognitive, psychological, and social disorders. Various treatment options for epilepsy are: antiepileptic drugs, surgery, neuromodulation, gene therapy and ketogenic diet. However, definitions, diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy are still challenging issues for clinicians and researchers. Antiepileptic drugs play a central and crucial role in the treatment of epilepsy patients. Brivaracetam Cannabidiol (CBD), Cenobamate, Everolimus and Fenfluramine are the five novel anticonvulsant drugs during the last 5 years. Brivaracetam anticonvulsant ef...
Edible Plants in Health and Diseases
The book provides significant information on some of the promising edible medicinal plants and how these possess both nutritive as well as medicinal value. The significance of these edible plants in traditional medicine, their distribution in different regions and the importance of their chemical constituents are discussed systematically concerning the role of these plants in ethnomedicine in different regions of the world. The current volume focuses on the economic and culturally important medicinal uses of edible plants and a detailed survey of the literature on scientific researches of pharmacognostical characteristics, traditional uses, scientific validation, and phytochemical composition, and pharmacological activities. This book is a single-source scientific reference to explore the specific factors that contribute to these potential health benefits, as well as discussing how to maximize those potential benefits. Chemists, food technologists, pharmacologists, phytochemists as well as all professionals involved with quality control and standardization will find in this book a valuable and updated basis for their work.
10 Years of Ethnopharmacology
The contributions selected for this ebook span the entire ten-year period and we have selected examples which have had a particular impact on the debates in the field. Broadly speaking, they fall into four main areas: - Overarching reviews within ethnopharmacology - Reviews of specific species or other taxa regarding their pharmacology; phytochemistry and local / traditional use - Assessments of the pharmacological evidence for specific active compounds or classes of compounds - Assessments of the safety and potential risks of herbal substances. With these themes, this eBook contributes to the debate about the evidence- base of such practices incorporating both the scientific evidence available and the local / traditional concepts associated with their use.
Microbial Biofilms
This book provides a broad range of applications and recent advances in the search for biofilm materials in nature. It also explains the future implications for biofilms in the areas of advanced molecular genetics, pharmaceuticals, pharmacology, and toxicology. This book is comprised of 20 chapters from leading experts in the field and it examines immunology and microbiological studies derived from biofilms as well as explores environmental, agricultural, and chemical impacts on biofilms. It is divided into five subdivisions: biofilms and its complications, biofilm infections in human body, detection of biofilm-forming pathogens, antibiofilm chemotherapy, and biofilms production tools in aqu...
Essential Oils in Food Processing: Chemistry, Safety and Applications
A guide to the use of essential oils in food, including information on their composition, extraction methods, and their antioxidant and antimicrobial applications Consumers’ food preferences are moving away from synthetic additives and preservatives and there is an increase demand for convenient packaged foods with long shelf lives. The use of essential oils fills the need for more natural preservativesto extend the shelf-life and maintaining the safety of foods. Essential Oils in Food Processing offers researchers in food science a guide to the chemistry, safety and applications of these easily accessible and eco-friendly substances. The text offers a review of essential oils components, ...
Dynamic Gemmotherapy. Beyond Gemmotherapy. Volume 1.
This is the fourth edition of "Dynamic Gemmotherapy". It has become much more than a textbook of Gemmotherapic medicine: it goes "Beyond Gemmotherapy". The Materia Medica of fifty-five herbal remedies prepared according to gemmotherapic pharmacology has been much enlarged and encompasses multiple therapies that have used any of the plants. The Repertory has been enriched with indications that were separated by narrow scopes of practice and are now combined. There was another purpose in reworking this book: to demonstrate the continuity of different methodologies, different and sometimes opposite views of medicine and prove that although each approach might have a specificity or a different scope of action, in the end they are nothing but different filters showing only part of the vast healing potential of our remedies. This is "Beyond Gemmotherapy".
Recent Development of Electrospinning for Drug Delivery
Several promising techniques have been developed to overcome the poor solubility and/or membrane permeability properties of new drug candidates, including different fiber formation methods. Electrospinning is one of the most commonly used spinning techniques for fiber formation, induced by the high voltage applied to the drug-loaded solution. With modifying the characteristics of the solution and the spinning parameters, the functionality-related properties of the formulated fibers can be finely tuned. The fiber properties (i.e., high specific surface area, porosity, and the possibility of controlling the crystalline–amorphous phase transitions of the loaded drugs) enable the improved rate...
