We expand on the discourse related to nature surrounding Canadian medical training and the CanMEDS flower. We advance the notion that a major contributor to burnout is the increasing complexity and segregation of not only the medical profession, but society as a whole, leading to choice overload and an overemphasis on complex, data driven, rational decision making.

Diurnal visitors to the flowers of many native plant species were identified in a wide range of Tasmanian sclerophyllous vegetation between September 1996 and April 1997. These foraging profiles were analysed to determine whether they were characteristic of various floral morphologies in predictable ways. It was found that although visitor profiles were sometimes consistent with classic pollina...

Oxidative stress leads to formation of free radicals, reactive oxygen species and nitrogen species, which leads to numerous pathophysiological disorders. The present study is aimed to evaluate the free radical scavenging potential of flowers of Gomphrena globosa. The extracts from the flowers of Gomphrena globosa were prepared in solvents viz. methanol, ethanol and butanol. Spectrophotmetric an...
