Honey is known as natural sweetener since ancient time with medicinal value .In Indian system of Medicine, honey’s well described propertie is Yogavahi (synergism/potentiating).We clinically evaluated the potentiating effect of honey with mandur bhasma on 30 patients both male and female upon oral delivery of medicine with honey. We observed better improvement in level of Hemoglobin /Serum Iron...

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the potential antibacterial activity of some Saudi Arabia honey against selected bacterial strains of medical importance. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 10 Saudi Arabia honey used to evaluate their antimicrobial activity against some antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacterial strains. The bacterial strains were Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus...

accelerating wound healing is now considered as a principle clinical treatment and increasing the quality and speed of healing which has always been emphasized by the scientists. propolis and honey are natural bee products with wide range of biological and medicinal properties. this study was aimed to determine the synergistic effect of honey and propolis in wound healing of rat skin. a total o...

Intensive beekeeping to mitigate crop pollination deficits and habitat loss may cause interspecific competition between bees. Studies show negative correlations between flower visitation of honey bees (Apis mellifera) and wild bees, but effects on the reproduction of wild bees were not proven. Likely reasons are that honey bees can hardly be excluded from controls and wild bee nests are general...

Higher water potentials in recovering burned salt-cedar (Tamarix ramosissima) relative to unburned plants and the opposite situation in willow (Salix gooddingii) provide evi­ dence that postfire water stress is reduced in the former but not the latter. Similarly, diurnal patterns ofstomatal con­ duc(ance in these taxa are consistent with the existence of more vigor in burned salt-cedar than wil...

After publication of the original article (1) it was noted that the title of this manuscript was incorrect. The title presently reads "The cedar project: using indigenous-specific determinants of health to predict substance use among young pregnant-involved aboriginal women" but should read "The Cedar Project: Using Indigenous-specific determinants of health to predict substance use among young...

We present recent results from the design of the GFDL ocean circulation model for the Cedar multicluster architecture. The model simulates the basic aspects of largescale, baroclinic ocean circulation, including treatment of irregular bottom topography. We concentrate on several modifications and versions of the code that are designed to exploit the memory and computational hierarchy of Cedar, ...

Pectin methyl esterase (PME) (EC 3.1.1.11) catalyzes the hydrolysis of methylester groups of cell wall pectins. We investigated the role of this enzyme in dormancy termination and germination of yellow cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis [D. Don] Spach) seeds. PME activity was not detected in dormant seeds of yellow cedar but was induced and gradually increased during moist chilling; high activit...

Background: Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) pollinosis is the most prevalent seasonal rhinitis in Japan. A standardized Japanese cedar pollen extract (CPE) containing 1.5– 4.2 μg of Cry j 1 is currently the highest-concentration extract available for allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) against this pollinosis. Therefore, we developed a PEGylated fusion protein as a more effective SIT va...

A 45-year-old female teacher was referred to our clinic because of a severe and treatment-resistant dermatitis. She had no previous history of eczema. Dermatitis first appeared in her right elbow and upper arm. Over the next few weeks, the dermatitis spread to her back and left upper arm. We took two skin bunch biopsies from her back. She was told to avoid sauna bathing for 2 weeks because of t...
