Management of HIV/AIDS Opportunistic Infections by Using Medicinal Plants: A Case Study from Njeru Sub-County, Buikwe District, Uganda | Chapter 9 | Current Progress in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 6

 This stage focused on proof of the plants used in the administration of HIV/AIDS opportunistic infections before they are missing through degradation of their residence and death of the aging people the one have the knowledge about ruling class and also their influence in the management of the opportunistic afflictions was assessed. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a big cause of premature death and imposes a big disease burden about the world. Most HIV/AIDS cases are at risk for expanding bacterial and fungal opportunistic infections on account of immune abolition. However, there is lacking evidence to support the growing use of curative plants as an additional and alternative healing approach to combat HIV/AIDS opportunistic contaminations. The study was conducted in the Njeru sub-division, Buikwe District. The study focused on the exercise of medicinal plants secondhand in the management of HIV/AIDS sophisticated infections. A total of 52 curative plant species owned by forty-nine (49) genera and thirty-individual (31) families were recognized to be secondhand by traditional curative practitioners (TMPs) in the administration of HIV/AIDS opportunistic contaminations. Most of these plants were found to belong to the kins; Lamiaceae, Moraceae, Leguminosae, and Verbenaceae. Most of the plant species labeled were known to survive skin infections, never-ending cough, tuberculosis, stomach contaminations, diarrhea, syphilis zoster, and Warts. Although the herbs were used to treat a variety of illnesses, warts, disease communicable through sex zoster, chronic cough, stomach contaminations, and chronic cough were ultimate frequently stated. Traditional medical experts (TMPs) primarily drain decoctions as a method of application.

Herbal Medicine: A New Ray of Hope for Vitiligo Patients| Chapter 5 | Current Overview on Pharmaceutical Science Vol. 3

 Vitiligo is a depigmentation disorder accompanying complex causes. Nonetheless, recent progress has happened made to untangle the pathophysiology of vitiligo. In this chapter, we provide an survey of the herbs that have been secondhand in clinical studies to treat vitiligo and focal point herbs that are known expected effective. Herbs containing Ammi visnaga L., Camellia sinensis, Ginkgo biloba, and Psoralea corylifolia L. have been highlighted by way of their traditional requests. The research for vitiligo drugs today demands enormous exertion. We strongly trust that this chapter may help to justify the use of a novel herbal cure in the treatment of vitiligo.

Integrated Study for the Shelf-life Evaluation in Food: Use of Spices, Herbs, and Bio-packaging | Chapter 3 | Emerging Challenges in Agriculture and Food Science Vol. 7

 The food industry has recently put environmental concerns at the centre of its main strategies. Food companies concentrated on the potential use of spices and herbs as natural additives to extend the product shelf-life in order to satisfy consumers' demands about the quality and safety of foodstuffs. Indeed, cutting-edge and/or practical packaging methods have been created in order to better preserve food quality and safety, therefore minimising environmental effects on natural resources. Therefore, scientific study on primary food packaging concentrated on the potential application of bio-packaging to both extend shelf-life and lessen the "harmful" effects on land and marine ecosystems. This study sought to evaluate the use of spices, herbs, and bio-packaging as novel preservation techniques to increase the shelf-life of food and provide a "eco-friendly" solution through an analysis of the scientific literature. These studies on the use of herbs, spices, and bio-packaging could offer fresh approaches to food preservation while minimising its negative effects on the economy, the environment, and society.

Development of Oral Herbal Male Contraceptive | Chapter 08 | Current Aspects in Pharmaceutical Research and Development Vol. 8

 

Background: More study on male contraception is encouraged since population management is seen as a key step toward global health. Despite the fact that there are many synthetic contraceptives available, they all have different negative effects. When compared to condoms, several male contraceptive treatments, such as hormonal, pharmacological, and immunological therapies, were researched over a long period of time and found to have good antifertility efficacy with low failure rates.

The idea of herbal contraceptives, which are an effective technique to limit animal and human reproduction, is the emphasis of this chapter. The focus of this review was on herbal medicinal plants and plant extracts that have been found to have antifertility effects in men. Plants having reported animal research and some with human studies for antifertility effects, as well as their dosages, chemical contents, and mechanism of action for the antifertility impact of the plants, are all considered in the review. This chapter also covers the stages of sperm formation, hormone production, and the mechanism of male contraceptives.

Conclusion: In terms of the current review's applicability, it might be extremely useful in the development of plant monographs and recommendations for their use. Many of the plants listed here could be used as alternative oral fertility regulators in males. As a result, greater research into the chemical and biological characteristics of these less-explored plants is needed to evaluate their contraceptive efficacy as well as any negative effects, so that these compounds can be utilised reliably to manage male fertility. New inventions are needed in this field to focus on more current, more potent pharmaceuticals with less toxic components that are self-administerable, less expensive, and entirely reversible.

Characterization of Some Selected Egyptian Cultivars of Spices and Herbs Commonly Exported in Abroad | Chapter 2 | Current Research in Agricultural and Food Science Vol. 3

 The present study highlighted some of the chemical, nutritional, microbiological and essential oil characteristics of traditional Egyptian cumin (Cuminum cyminum) and coriander (Coriandum sativum) spice seed cultivars and of whole basil herb (Ocimum basilicum) collected as ready for export from various Egyptian export centres. Cumin and coriander seed spices have already been prepared in dry seed form at the same place of procurement as typically practised in Egypt to prepare dry spices for export abroad. The humidity values observed for dry seeds of cumin (7.4 percent) and coriander (6.4 percent) as well as total acid-insoluble ash and ash (7.7 percent and 0.74 percent in cumin, but 5.3 percent and 0.55 percent in coriander, respectively) were lower than the Egyptian Specification Requirements (ES) and International Standards Organization (ISO) maximum limits for cumin and 0.55 percent Analysis of essential minerals in herbs and seed spices has shown that they are abundant in K, Ca, Na, Fe and Zn. The overall bacterial count was low in the cumin and coriander seeds as well as the whole fresh basil herb. For cumin and coriander seeds, the microbiological load was found to be lower in all tested seed spices and herbs than those suggested by the ES and ISO. Hydro-distilled essential oils (EOs) yields were the largest in cumin seeds (3,762 percent), whereas coriander and basil herbs both had lower numbers (0.285 percent and 0.686 percent , respectively). The content of EOs was found to be higher than the maximum limits for cumin (1.5 percent - 2.5 percent on a dry weight basis), but within the limits for cumin (0.1 percent - 0.5 percent on a dry weight basis) for cumin and coriander seed oils, as shown by the ES and ISO. The presence of 41, 35 and 47 compounds, respectively, was indicated by gas chromatography of extracted EOs from cumin and coriander seeds as well as basil herbs, where cuminaldehyde was the main component in cumin volatiles, but linalool was present in volatiles from both coriander seeds and basil herbs. The results showed that the major compounds in EOs in cumin seeds grown in Egypt are compatible with the findings of various investigators from different parts of the globe. In the EOs of the three tested Egyptian spices and herbs, volatile oil components were categorised into groups based on the relative region ( percent ). The percentage of main and other major components in EOs from cumin and coriander seed cultivars was within the ES and ISO ranges for both cumin seed oils (cuminaldehyde 15% to 46%) and coriander seed oils (linalool between 65 percent - 78 percent ). No Egyptian Specification Specifications have yet been developed for fresh basil herbs and Linalool-chemotype basil oil, but only for methylchavicol-chemotype basil oil.
