Abstract Background Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease which causes various health problems for elderly men such as urinary retention, recurring tract infection and bladder stones. The aim of this study to evaluate the therapeutic effects Juniperus communis L . seed extract (JCS) on BPH in male Wistar rats. Methods To end, 30 rats were divided into 5 groups ( N = 6): group 1...

The objective of the current study was to determine the chemical constituents and fumigant toxicity of the essential oil isolated by hydrodistillation form Juniperus foetidissima. The chemical composition of the essential oil was determined by GC and GC-MS. The essential oil included large amounts of monoterpenes 51.4%, with citronellol being the major compound thereof, and sesquiterpines 42.4%...

Dendrochronology is the science that uses tree-rings dated to their exact year of formation to analyze temporal and spatial patterns of processes in the physical and cultural sciences. There currently is no published record for tree-ring studies using Eastern Red Cedar in the Upper Mississippi River Valley in Wisconsin. Therefore, this study develops a chronology from treerings using Eastern Re...

This study evaluated physical and mechanical properties of experimental strandboard panels with random flake alignment manufactured from eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) logs. Panels were made at two density levels of 0.65 g/cm and 0.78 g/cm using phenol formaldehyde adhesive applied at a rate of 8%. Mechanical properties including modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture, and int...
