Researchers evaluated a natural product-based cream (Alantel®) to reduce radiation-induced dermatitis in breast cancer patients. Results showed promising efficacy, offering a potentially better treatment option for RT patients.
TL;DR: Obesity is linked to many health issues. FDA-approved drugs have side effects. Herbal plants like Berberis vulgaris and Aloe vera are effective and safe alternatives. Consider using them for cost-effective and novel treatments.
Two herbal-alcohol-based hand sanitizers, containing Zingiber officinale and Ocimum sanctum, were found to be more effective than alcohol-based sanitizers in reducing microbial load, inhibiting influenza A virus, and causing less irritation to the skin. HS2 was particularly effective against viruses and the sanitizers have a longer shelf life.
This study reviewed the effects of various natural products on diabetes. Fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, spices, herbs, and vitamins may help prevent and manage diabetes through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and insulin-enhancing effects. This information can be used to develop functional foods for diabetes prevention and management.
This study tested the effectiveness of plants and compounds like Aloe vera and Thyme in inhibiting the growth and toxin production of harmful Aspergillus species. This information is useful for preventing infections in immunocompromised patients.
Researchers investigated the potential of aloe vera compounds in inhibiting diabetic wound healing. Through molecular docking and simulation, aloe emodin was identified as a key chemical with potential. Wet lab experiments will further validate these findings.
Researchers identified aloeresin-A as a potential inhibitor for bacterial and host targets in contact lens-mediated microbial keratitis. It demonstrated strong binding energies and stable interactions, making it a promising candidate for inhibiting keratitis. Further research is needed for integration into lens care solutions.
They studied how herbal agents can help prevent and treat radiodermatitis in breast cancer patients. It's important because it could offer alternative options for managing skin issues caused by radiation therapy.
Acemannan, a polysaccharide in Aloe vera, shows potential as an anti-diabetic agent. It effectively improved various biochemical parameters and had strong binding affinity to inflammatory markers. It could be a valuable treatment option for diabetes.
Researchers formulated nanoemulsions of probiotics and local herbs to assess their therapeutic potential in obese rats. The combination significantly improved body weight, liver and kidney function, and histology. Probiotics and local herbs may be a complementary option for obesity treatment.
They studied the use of medicinal plants for treating malaria in a region of Uganda where medical facilities are limited. Understanding local knowledge can help improve malaria management in the area.
This study compared two treatments for periimplantitis in patients with high blood sugar: antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and riboflavin-loaded nanoparticles in aloe vera gel.
Scientists have developed a new composite hydrogel made of bovine serum albumin and aloe vera gel for wound healing. It has antioxidant, antibacterial properties, promotes collagen deposition and vascular growth. It can also be 3D printed for personalized treatment and skin regeneration.
In this study, researchers examined the effectiveness of applying Aloe vera gel topically to prevent chemotherapy-induced hyperpigmentation (CIH). CIH is a side effect of chemotherapy that leads to skin irritation, redness, and itching. Previous research has shown that Aloe vera may be useful in treating radiation-induced dermatitis, which suggests it may also alleviate symptoms associated with CIH. This study aims to determine if Aloe vera gel can provide relief for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
The effectiveness of traditional drugs for gastric ulcers (GU) is limited, so researchers looked at natural remedies such as Aloe vera and Geranium robertianum. They assessed their ability to protect against Aspirin®-induced GU in rats. The results suggest that these herbal extracts may be promising alternatives for the treatment of GU.
