This study was conducted to determine if oral administration of the novel herbal medicine, KIOM-MA, and its Lactobacillus acidophilus-fermented product, KIOM-MA128, has therapeutic properties for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). Using AD-induced BALB/c mice by Ovalbumin and aluminum hydroxide, the effectiveness of KIOM-MA and KIOM-MA128 on AD was evaluated. Oral administration of KIOM-MA and KIOM-MA128 reduced major clinical signs of AD including erythema/darkening, edema/papulation, excoriations, lichenification/prurigo, and dryness. Interestingly, KIOM-MA128 more significantly improved AD-related symptoms includi...

Effect of aqueous extract of Arctium lappa L. (burdock) roots on the sexual behavior of male ratsEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions:
The results of this study demonstrate that aqueous extract of Arctium lappa L. roots enhances sexual behavior in male rats. The aphrodisiac effects of the plant extract may be related to the presence of flavonoids, saponins, lignans and alkaloids, acting via a multitude of central and peripheral mechanisms. These results thus support the traditional use of Arctium lappa L. root extract for treating impotence and sterility. (Source: BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine)

Conclusion:
To our knowledge, this review is the most comprehensive to date to reveal the rich traditional medicinal knowledge of Aboriginal peoples of the Canadian boreal forest. Future ethnobotanical research endeavours should focus on documenting the knowledge held by Aboriginal groups that have so far received less attention, particularly those of the western boreal forest. In addition, several critical issues need to be addressed regarding the legal, ethical and cultural aspects of the conservation of medicinal plant species and the protection of the associated traditional knowledge.

EARLY national surveys have confirmed a sustained interest in and use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies in the United States (US). These first surveys provided an important first look but lacked specifics including diagnoses, disease site, and special populations. By the end of the 1990s we knew more about the use of CAM by specific populations with cancer, including cancer site, geographic and ethnic differences, and the elderly. There have been growing pains typical of a new field in health care including clarification of terminology, enhanced understanding of cultural impact, identification of pr...

Abstract: We analyzed the clinical manifestations, genetic mutations, treatment responses to l-dopa, and long-term neurologic outcomes in Taiwanese infants with tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency.

Two patients manifested fetal distress during the perinatal period. Four patients exhibited generalized tremor as their first observed neurologic sign at age 3 months. All presented brisk reflexes, hypokinesia, rigidity, distal chorea, and athetosis. We identified...

CONCLUSIONS: A significant health disparity exists, whereby Indigenous populations, a minority, are over-represented in the burden of smoking-related morbidity and mortality. This review highlights the paucity of evidence available to evaluate the effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions, despite the known success of these interventions in non-Indigenous populations. Due to this lack of published investigations, the external validity of this review is limited, as is the ability to draw reliable conclusions from the results. The limited but available evidence reported does indicate that smoking cessation interventio...
