BACKGROUND Dronedarone has been developed for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (AFL). It is an amiodarone analogue but noniodinized and without the same adverse effects as amiodarone. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS This is a review of 7 studies (DAFNE, ADONIS, EURIDIS, ATHENA, ANDROMEDA, ERATO and DIONYSOS) on dronedarone focusing on efficacy, safety and prevention of stroke. Th...

this study examined historical and religious characters and events emanating myth of phoenix manifesting renewal and resurrection after death and destruction in adonis’s poetries. these concepts is symbols of realities in arabic societies. adonis described the society in vortex of leeway, inaction and absolute death. considering phoenix as a symbol of revolutionary human, adonis tried to back t...

Cardiac glycoside poisoning caused by ingestion of plant material is common in tropical and sub-tropical areas. In evaluating the use of the Abbott TDx Digoxin II assay to detect such cases of poisoning, we found it a rapid and convenient method for confirming the ingestion of glycosides from the plants Nerium oleander, Thevetia peruviana, and Adonis microcarpa, and from the toad Bufo marinus. ...

The study was conducted in the years 2004 – 2005 using two populations of Adonis vernalis L. occurring in the Adonido-Brachypodietum pinnati community at Pliszczyn near Lublin and in the Brachypodio-Teucrietum community at Stawska Góra near Che3m. The blooming of A. vernalis in the Lublin region occurs from the first days of April to the end of May. The species is characterized by an early, day...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to analyze the fatty acid content, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities of hydro-methanolic extract of Adonis wolgensis L. (A. wolgensis L.) growing wild in north of Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS Oils of A. wolgensis L. was obtained by means of Soxhlet apparatus from leaves and stems. Methyl esters were derived from the oily mixtures by trans-este...

A phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Adonis multiflora Nishikawa & Koki Ito. resulted in the isolation and identification of two new cardenolides--adonioside A (1) and adonioside B (6)--as well as four known cardenolides: tupichinolide (2) oleandrine (3), cryptostigmin II (4), and cymarin (5). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of NMR, MS, and IR spectroscopic analyse...

Dehydration-responsive element binding (DREB) transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in the regulation of plant resistance to environmental stresses and can specifically bind to dehydration-responsive element/C-repeat element (DRE/CRT) proteins (G/ACCGAC) and activate expression of many stress-inducible genes. Here, we cloned and characterized a novel gene (AaDREB1) encoding the DREB1...
