Context: Like many other African countries, medicinal plants are widely used in Guinea to manage hypertension, which is a highly prevalent health problem. Aims: To identify the plants used in the traditional management of hypertension in Guinea. Methods: From May to November 2018, three hundred and forty-nine Traditional Health Practitioners (THPs) respondents, including 244 traditional healers and 105 herbalists, were contacted. Through semi-structured interviews, ethnobotanical information on medicinal plants were collected. Voucher specimens were authenticated by the department of Botany of the IRDPMAG and deposited in the Herbarium of this Institute. Results: Among the traditional anti-hypertensive recipes, a total of 97 plant species from 85 genera belonging to 43 families have been identified. Combretum micranthum, Hymenocardia acida, Anacardium occidentale, Spondias mombin and Alchornea cordifolia were the most frequently cited. The traditional recipes included one plant species (23 recipes), a combination of two species (18 recipes) or more (47 recipes). Conclusions: A large number of medicinal plants are used for the management of arterial hypertension in Guinea. Further biological and phytochemical investigations are needed to validate the traditional uses of these plants.

The current study was designed to investigate the traditional recipes used to treat cough in Tehsil Piran, Malakand, Pakistan. These recipes were explored and quantitively analyzed for the first time. A total of 30 species of the plants, 6 animal products and one salt were reported to be used by the community to treat cough. Punica granatum L. and Olea ferruginea Royle dominated with Use value (UV) of 0.84 and Origanum vulgare L. with least use value of 0.1. The frequency citation (FC) of the Papaver somniferum L. is higher (98) while the lowest one is Verbascum thapsus L. (0.13). The large number of traditional recipes used for cough in this area shows that primary health care is still amalgamated in this culture. In future studies, these recipes may be further exploited as a base for modern medicine.

Phyllanthus emblica L. (Indian gooseberry) has been used in traditional medicine for treatment of various diseases in Asian countries. It has been recorded in Ayurvedic and traditional medicines in Thailand for antitussive medicine for a long time. It is developed into Phyllanthus emblica fruit extract and also medicine/ health products with several health claims. However, there have been not articles discussing its use in Thai traditional medicine and relevant empirical evidence. The objective of this article is to review and evaluate evidence related to medicinal uses of the Indian gooseberry, including treatment of COVID-19, in order to provide information for rationale uses. The Indian gooseberry and Thai traditional uses in Tamra Kanphaet Thaidoem (Pheattayasat Songkhro Chabab Anurak) Volume 1 were listed. The empirical evidence of the medicinal properties of Indian gooseberry as list were searched in PubMed, Web of science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, ThaiJO and Google Scholar. Eleven out of thirteen scriptures mentioned to 164 recipes contain the Indian gooseberry, Khamphi Prathomchinda contained the highest number of herbal recipes (32 recipes), followed by Khamphi That Wiworn (31 recipes) and Khamphi Sapphakhunya (24 recipes), respectively. The eleven literature searches provided evidence related to cough, sore throat, constipation and pain including treatment or prevention of COVID-19. In conclusion, the Indian gooseberry can be used as an alternative to cough relief. The use of herbal mixtures is more common than single herbs for sore throat, constipation, fever and pain. There is a crucial need for clinical studies on combined treatment with COVID-19.

The present ethnobotanical study is being carried out in the town of Mbanga on the use of plants in the traditional pharmacopoeia. Its major concern is to document medicinal plants and therapeutic recipes which will serve as a database for the population. To do this, an ethnobotanical survey was conducted in September and October 2011 and completed in August 2020. It collected a certain amount of information relating to the use of medicinal plants as an alternative to primary health care. This study, conducted with two hundred and fifty-five (255) respondents, identified eighty (80) cases of health problems, some of which are only symptoms of illnesses. Three hundred and thirty-nine (339) therapeutic recipes involving one hundred and eighteen (118) medicinal plants belonging to fifty-five (55) botanical families have been indicated as entering into their treatment. The therapeutic recipes are made up of either a single plant or a combination of several plants. Only species that have been mentioned at least twice have been taken into account. Cymbopogon citratrus has the highest used specialization index, 0.35; it is the species mostly used in therapeutic recipes. Acute illnesses are the most common groups. The plants are well used by the people of Mbanga in the treatment of various diseases because the exploitation index is 4.23. The plant species used in the treatment of diseases in Mbanga are mostly reported in other parts of Cameroon and the world in the treatment of the same diseases.

Nutritional education in Mexico is a necessary strategy to address the serious public health problem that is currently being experienced, since the population is suffering from chronic degenerative diseases, such as obesity, dyslipidemias, arterial hypertension and pathologies that unfortunately are already present in children thanks to a poor and unbalanced diet. Seeking alternatives for food orientation and for reducing these health problems, the Mediterranean diet was taken as an inspiring model. This healthy pattern, which has been recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity, is characterized by several structural elements, such as the promotion of regional and seasonal food, the respect of the nature, the cooking food at home, the consumption of a moderate amount of food, the promotion of family ties and communication, the practice of daily physical exercise and adequate rest. The proposal for a Mediterranean-based Mayan diet model also aims to integrate the entity’s native resources, promote food security in the southeast region of Mexico nd preserve the ancient recipes that have been inherited from our Mayan ancestors.

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) perform pollination service for many agricultural crops and contribute to the global economy in agriculture and bee products. However, honey bee health is an ongoing concern, as illustrated by persistent local population decline, caused by some severe bee diseases (e.g., nosemosis, AFB, EFB, chalkbrood). Three natural recipes are in development based on the bioactive compounds of different plants extract (Agastache foeniculum, Artemisia absinthium, Evernia prunastri, Humulus lupulus, Laurus nobilis, Origanum vulgare and Vaccinium myrtillus), characterised by HPLC-PDA. The antimicrobial activity of these recipes was tested in vitro against Paenibacillus larvae, Paenibacillus alvei, Brevibacillus laterosporus, Enterococcus faecalis, Ascosphaera apis and in vivo against Nosema ceranae. A mix of 20% blueberry, 40% absinthium, 10% oakmoss, 10% oregano, 10% Brewers Gold hops, 5% bay laurel and 5% anise hyssop extract showed the strongest antibacterial and antifungal activity. Combing several highly active plant extracts might be an alternative treatment against bee-disease-associated parasites and pathogens, in particular to replace synthetic antibiotics.

Background: The period of infancy, spanning through the neonatal stage to two years, is characterized by a series of health
challenges for the affected child and concerned parents. This study conducted in Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun State,
Nigeria was aimed at investigating the plants used in the traditional management of infantile dermatitis and other neonatal skin
infections with emphasis on the role of SPICES.
Methods: Structured questionnaires (and personal interview) were administered to 36 nursing mothers (age range, 15 – 50) and 30
herbsellers (age range, 21 – 60) in the LGA. The herbsellers prescribed recipes used in the management of general skin diseases
including abscess, chicken pox, eczema, flaky skin spots, measles, rashes, ringworm, and small pox.
Results: The survey yielded 69 plants belonging to 38 families and forming 25 polyherbal and mono-recipes. Fabaceae, Rutaceae,
Euphorbiaceae, Annonaceae, Poaceae, Meliaceae, and Amaryllidaceae had high species representation. Trees (40.58%) were the
most frequently used plant habit while leaves (40.58%) formed the most frequently used plant part. Decoction and infusion using
pure water were the methods of preparation suggested. Administration ranged from drinking extracts (2-3 teaspoonfuls) three times
daily, to bathing with warm extracts of the plants and the use of coconut oil as cream. Traditional black soap and Shea butter also
featured in the herbal remedy for bath and as cream respectively. Local sponge was preferred for bathing.
Conclusion: This study has documented the alternative medical approach in the management of infantile skin diseases. The cultural
relevance of plants calls for sustainable use of plant resources. This research finds application in primary health care, microbiology,
and in cosmetic industries for the development of new or improved baby skin care products. Further research should be conducted to
confirm the claimed ethnomedicinal values as well as evaluate possible harm of crude plant extracts to skin structures of infants.

Modern computational techniques offer new perspectives for the personalisation of food properties through the optimisation of their production process. This paper addresses the personalisation of beer properties in the specific case of craft beers where the production process is more flexible. Furthermore, this work presents a solution discovery method that could be suitable for more complex, industrial setups. An evolutionary computation technique was used to map brewers’ desired organoleptic properties to their constrained ingredients to design novel recipes tailored for specific brews. While there exist several mathematical tools, using the original mathematical and chemistry formulas, or machine learning models that deal with the process of determining beer properties based on the predetermined quantities of ingredients, this work investigates an automated quantitative ingredient-selection approach. The process, which was applied to this problem for the first time, was investigated in a number of simulations by “cloning” several commercial brands with diverse properties. Additional experiments were conducted, demonstrating the system’s ability to deal with on-the-fly changes to users’ preferences during the optimisation process. The results of the experiments pave the way for the discovery of new recipes under varying preferences, therefore facilitating the personalisation and alternative high-fidelity reproduction of existing and new products.

Cancer is an emerging public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. Several medicinal plants are used by traditional healers to treat tumors. In Togo, there are no recorded data for these plants but traditional healers claim to cure tumors with some success. So, information on medicinal plants used to cure human tumors and cancer could be of great importance for their widespread use and scientific validation. The present ethnopharmacological survey aims to record information on antitumor plants in central and Kara regions of Togo. Semistructured validated questionnaires were administered to fifty-seven traditional healers specialized in tumor management in 7 prefectures of Togo. Good practices and know-how were recorded. Quantitative ethnobotanical tools were used to analyze and summarize the data collected. 85 recipes of medicinal plants for tumors management are provided. In the local dialect, 78.95% of traditional healers do not have a clear tumor designation and 29.90% find that the causes of tumors remain unknown. According to 48.78% of traditional healers, the diagnosis of tumors in patients is made in the hospital. The types of tumors frequently treated are those of the breast (43.75%) and the lung (16.67%). The seventy listed medicinal plants belong to thirty-nine families, the most represented being Rubiaceae (17.95%), Caesalpiniaceae (12.82%), Fabaceae (10.26%), and Annonaceae (7.69%). The ten most cited species were Xylopia aethiopica, Aframomum melegueta, Khaya senegalensis, Parkia biglobosa, Piliostigma thonningii, Blighia sapida, Vitellaria paradoxa, Adansonia digitata, Annona muricata, and Parinari curatellifolia. Most of the recipes are prepared as decoction (40%) and administered orally (54.12%). Both regions of our study have a wealth of medicinal plants, and traditional healers would use their local knowledge in the management of various tumors and chronic wounds.

Introduction: In Cameroon, the identification of plants traditionally used to treat diseases remains a necessity. Inflammation from injury leading in some cases to chronic wounds like diabetic ulcer (for diabetic patients) is increasingly becoming a public health concern in Cameroon. As a low-income country, the population attempts to with alternative treatments through the use of herbal products. Cameroon has a rich biodiversity of herbal flora for exploitation of potential bioactive metabolites of pharmaceutical importance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify plants and recipes used by some traditional healers in Bankim, Adamaoua Region of Cameroon for the management of chronic wounds. Methodology: After obtaining various administrative and institutional authorizations, an ethnobotanical survey was conducted among the local traditional practitioners between the months of December 2020 to February 2021. The plant samples collected were identified and confirmed by experts of the National Herbarium of Cameroon at Yaoundé. Results: Thanks to the collaboration of 09 traditional healers, 30 plant species were identified and used in the preparation of 24 recipes. The families: Rubiaceae, followed by Caesalpiniaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae and Moraceae were the most represented. The species Musa paradisiaca, Ficus exasperata, Dacryodes edulis and Petersianthus macrocarpus were the most cited and were selected as plants of therapeutic interestVarious plant parts were used in the preparation of recipes. The bark (50%), followed by leaves (30%) were the most commonly used. Spraying (63%) and decoction (34%) were the two main ways of preparing the recipes. These preparations were mostly prescribed externally; poultice (40%), washing (27%), sprinkling (20%) and instillation (3%) were the most commonly used application techniques. Conclusion: These results constitute an indispensable database for the valorization of traditional medicines. Musa paradisiaca, Ficus exasperata, Dacryodes edulis and Citrullus lanatus were selected as plants of interest whose extracts should be the subject of phytochemical and pharmacological studies in order to justify their traditional use.

Aromatic plants are one of the components of Cameroonian medicinal flora that seem to be an alternative to fight against the Covid-19 disease. The present study aims to establish chemical characterization of some aromatic plant organs used in the Douala IV sub-division during the COVID-19 pandemic. A semi-structured survey was carried out between September and December 2020 in order to identify aromatic plants used for health diseases during the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to their ethnobotanical index the selected plants were screened chemically through staining and precipitation methods to determine different bioactive compounds. Thirty-one (31) plant species belonging to 17 families were recorded with the dominated by Lamiaceae and Zingiberaceae being the dominant families and Ocimum gratissimum as the most cited species (28.57%) in the composition of recipes. Leaves (50.80%) were the most used organs to prepare the decoctions (33.33%) administered to patients orally. These plants were used in the treatment of 51 ailments diseases, notably malaria, cough and typhoid fever with 22, 21 and 12 citations respectively. Informant Consensus Factors (ICF) showed a relatively high agreement (0.75) for the use of species against respiratory diseases. Zingiber officinale, Citrus limon and Cymbopogon citratus had a good performance (Ip = 3) against cough, typhoid and malaria respectively. Extracts of aromatic plant organs were rich in alkaloids and phenolic compounds. These aromatic species showed their ability to treat respiratory and other infectious diseases, and could be an alternative to fight against Covid-19.

As the world attempts to decarbonise the food industry and limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, plant-based meat analogues (PBMAs) have emerged as a sustainable alternative to traditional meat. The objective of this study is to assess the environmental impacts of PBMAs compared to traditional beef burgers, aiming to address the research gap in the life cycle assessments (LCAs) of publicly available PBMA recipes. Utilising a cradle-to-fork system boundary, this research conducted a rigorous LCA on a 100 g plant-based burger patty and its beef burger (BB) counterpart, each produced in the UK but sourced from different global locations. The results demonstrated that the plant-based burger had significantly lower environmental impacts across several categories, including a 65% reduction in global warming potential and a 45% reduction in water consumption. A simple extrapolation illustrated that if the UK population switched from beef to meat analogue patties, 3 million tonnes of CO2e could be saved annually, corresponding to 0.74% of the country’s yearly territorial GHG emissions. Scenario analyses displayed how the environmental impact of the MA patty remained stable regardless of changes in exportation, ingredient origin or soy protein sourcing. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis conducted with an alternative characterisation method corroborated the initial findings, whilst uncertainty analysis ensured that nearly all of the conclusions generated from the original comparison were robust. Future studies should conduct LCAs on PBMA patties with commercial recipes using varied plant-based sources, as well as fully understanding any potential health implications of long-term PBMA consumption.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have demonstrated effectiveness in many domains including object recognition, speech recognition, natural language processing, and health care. Typically, the computations involved in DNN training and inferencing are time consuming and require efficient implementations. Existing frameworks such as TensorFlow, Theano, Torch, Cognitive Tool Kit (CNTK), and Caffe enable Graphics Processing Unit (GPUs) as the status quo devices for DNN execution, leaving Central Processing Unit (CPUs) behind. Moreover, existing frameworks forgo or limit cross layer optimization opportunities that have the potential to improve performance by significantly reducing data movement through the memory hierarchy. In this article, we describe an alternative approach called SWIRL, a compiler that provides high-performance CPU implementations for DNNs. SWIRL is built on top of the existing domain-specific language (DSL) for DNNs called LATTE. SWIRL separates DNN specification and its schedule using predefined transformation recipes for tensors and layers commonly found in DNN layers. These recipes synergize with DSL constructs to generate high-quality fused, vectorized, and parallelized code for CPUs. On an Intel Xeon Platinum 8180M CPU, SWIRL achieves performance comparable with Tensorflow integrated with MKL-DNN; on average 1.00× of Tensorflow inference and 0.99× of Tensorflow training. It also outperforms the original LATTE compiler on average by 1.22× and 1.30× on inference and training, respectively.

Honey-based mixtures used in home medicine by nonindigenous population of Misiones, Argentina. Medicinal mixtures are an underinvestigated issue in ethnomedical literature concerning Misiones, one of the most bioculturally diverse province of Argentina. The new culturally sensitive politics of the Provincial Health System is a response to cultural practices based on the medicinal use of plant and animal products in the home medicine of the local population. Honey-based medicinal formulas were investigated through interviews with 39 farmers of mixed cultural (Criollos) and Polish origins in northern Misiones. Fifty plant species and 8 animal products are employed in honey-based medicines. Plants are the most dominant and variable elements of mixtures. Most of the mixtures are food medicines. The role of honey in more than 90% of formulas is perceived as therapeutic. The ecological distribution of taxa and the cultural aspects of mixtures are discussed, particularly the European and American influences that have shaped the character of multispecies medicinal recipes.

Malaria is one of the serious health problems in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Its treatment has been met with chronic failure due to pathogenic resistance to the currently available drugs. This review attempts to compile phytotherapeutical information on antimalarial plants in Kenya based on electronic data. A comprehensive web search was conducted in multidisciplinary databases, and a total of 286 plant species from 75 families, distributed among 192 genera, were retrieved. Globally, about 139 (48.6%) of the species have been investigated for antiplasmodial (18%) or antimalarial activities (97.1%) with promising results. However, there is no record on the antimalarial activity of about 51.4% of the species used although they could be potential sources of antimalarial remedies. Analysis of ethnomedicinal recipes indicated that mainly leaves (27.7%) and roots (19.4%) of shrubs (33.2%), trees (30.1%), and herbs (29.7%) are used for preparation of antimalarial decoctions (70.5%) and infusions (5.4%) in Kenya. The study highlighted a rich diversity of indigenous antimalarial plants with equally divergent herbal remedy preparation and use pattern. Further research is required to validate the therapeutic potential of antimalarial compounds from the unstudied claimed species. Although some species were investigated for their antimalarial efficacies, their toxicity and safety aspects need to be further investigated.

Millet is a healthy grain that is high in vitamins, minerals, and fibre. It is also gluten-free and has a low glycemic index, making it a suitable diet for persons with gluten intolerance or diabetes. Millet is an important crop for small farmers, in addition to its nutritional importance. Unlike rice or wheat, millet is drought-resistant and requires relatively little water to thrive. This makes it an attractive crop for farmers in dry locations where water scarcity is a big concern. Furthermore, millet has a short growth season and is easy to cultivate, making it an appealing alternative for small farmers with low resources. Efforts have been made in recent years to boost millet productivity and promote its consumption. The Millet Mission, initiated by the Indian government in 2016, is one such project. Another endeavour to increase millet intake is the "Millets for Health" programme, which aims to raise knowledge of millet's nutritional benefits. The initiative includes the creation of millet-based recipes as well as the installation of millet-based food processing plants, which can aid in the creation of a market for millet-based products.

Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with 17 patient participants. Participants were mainly middle-aged (mean age 59 years), African American (100%), and women (59%). Participants were asked questions around program structure, stress sources and stress management techniques, and how they make decisions around eating while stressed. Transcripts of interviews were analyzed for both apriori and emergent themes. Results Participants discussed several key sources of stress with the most common being family stress and financial stress. For many, financial trade-offs such as paying a bill rather than buying food were counteracted with reliance on community and social resources to make ends meet. Participants described stress as a barrier to healthy eating by limiting willpower and discussed how the nutrition education received in the program was important for making healthy decisions more often. Participants enjoyed the social aspects of the program and continue to connect with those they met to discuss recipes and healthy eating strategies. Stress management techniques discussed primarily included social interactions, religious activities, and distracting activities such as games and television. Some participants discussed an alternative response to stress and how they avoid internalizing the feeling. Conclusions Our findings highlight the complexity of experience for participants of interventions targeting food security. Participants are juggling responsibilities and managing a variety of stressors. However, the nutrition education provided through the program appeared to raise awareness of health and aid participants in making healthy diet choices.

Objective. This work aimed to survey medicinal plants used in phytotherapy in the Fez-Boulemane region, Morocco. Methods. A comprehensive ethnobotanical survey was conducted using a questionnaire to collect data from thirty herbalists on medicinal plants used for therapeutic purposes in the Fez-Boulemane region, Morocco. Results. The mean age of herbalists interviewed was 52.13 years. Forty percent of the herbalists were illiterate, and 73% referred to the experiences of their parents as knowledge of the properties and uses of medicinal plants. One hundred and eight medicinal plants belonging to 51 botanical families were recommended by herbalists in the region of Fez-Boulemane, Morocco, for treatment. According to the respondents, Lawsonia inermis L., Rosmarinus officinalis L., and Lavandula coronopifolia L. were the most used plants with the percentage of 13%, 12%, and 11%, respectively. Most plants had been involved in the treatment of digestive disorders (25%) and osteoarticular diseases (24%). Some (7.4%) of the plants mentioned in our survey were potentially toxic. Conclusion. It was learned that irrational use of toxic plants and unknown compositions of recipes are recommended to consumers. As a result, particular attention should be paid to risks related to plants used in traditional treatment without scientific validation. It is envisaged that increasing awareness, by conducting educational campaigns and transferring evidence-based scientific knowledge, on traditional treatments among the local population is expected to have beneficial impacts on health and disease management.

Wounds, burns, cuts, and scarring may cause a serious problem for human health if left untreated, and medicinal plants are identified as potentially useful for wound healing. Therefore, the study focused on ethnophytotherapy practices for wound healing from an unexplored area, Pakistan. Ethnophytotherapeutic information was collected through well-planned questionnaire and interview methods by targeting 80 informants (70 males and 10 females), in the study area. Data was analyzed through quantitative tools like use value (UV) and credibility level (CL). A total of forty wound healing plant species, belonging to twenty-nine families, were being used in forty-six recipes. Herbs constitute (35%), shrubs (30%), trees (30%), and climbers (5%) in the treatment of multiple human injuries. For remedies preparations, leaves were most frequently utilized (52%) followed by whole plant, flowers, twigs, roots, bulb, bark, rhizome, resin, oil, leaf gel, latex, gum, and creeper. The most form of herbal preparation was powder (34.7%) and poultice (32.6%), followed by decoction, bandaged and crushed, in which 40% internally and 60 % externally applied. The drugs from these plants seem to be widely used to cure wounds: Acacia modesta, Aloe barbadensis, Azadirachta indica, Ficus benghalensis, Nerium oleander, and Olea ferruginea with higher use values (0.75). Local people are still connected with ethnophytotherapies practices for curing wounds for several reasons. This ethnomedicine and the wound healing plants are under severe threats; thus conservation must be considered. Further research should be directed towards implementing pharmacological activity on these invaluable botanical drugs.

IntroductionReducing meat consumption could contribute towards preventing some chronic conditions and protecting the natural environment. This study will examine the effectiveness of a behavioural intervention to reduce meat consumption.Methods and analysesReplacing meat with alternative plant-based product is a randomised controlled trial comparing a behavioural intervention to reduce meat consumption with a no intervention control condition. Eligible volunteers will be recruited from the general public through advertisement and randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive no intervention or a 4-week intervention comprising the provision of free plant-based meat alternatives, written information on the health and environmental benefits of eating less meat, success stories of people who reduced their meat consumption and recipes. The primary outcome is the change in meat consumption at 4 weeks (T1) from baseline. Secondary and exploratory outcomes include changes in meat consumption at 8 weeks (T2) from baseline and changes from the baseline to both follow-up in other aspects of participants diet, putative psychosocial determinants of eating a low meat diet and of using meat substitutes and biomarkers of health risk, including blood lipid profiles, blood pressure, weight and body composition. Linear models will be employed to explore whether the changes in each of the aforementioned outcomes differ significantly between the control and intervention group. Qualitative interviews on a subsample of participants receiving the intervention will evaluate their experiences of the intervention and help to identify the mechanisms through which the intervention reduced meat consumption or the barriers preventing the intervention to aid this dietary transition.Ethics and disseminationThe trial has been granted ethical approval by the Medical Sciences Interdivisional Research Ethics Committee (IDREC) of the University of Oxford (Ref: R54329/RE001). All results originating from this study will be submitted for publication in scientific journals and presented at meetings and through the media.Trial registration numberISRCTN13180635;Pre-recruitment.

Objectives: The health conditions of women are broad, and range from pregnancy, gynaecological conditions to overall health/wellness. Ethnomedicinal investigation on plants used in the management of women-related health disorders was conducted in Bode herbal market, Ibadan, Southwestern Nigeria to further emphasize the role of herbal medicine in reproductive health. Methodology and Results: Ten herb sellers (all females; age range, 35 – 57; mean, 45.80; SD, 7.41) were interviewed in the local language (Yoruba) and their responses recorded. Recipes used in the management of arthritis, fibroid (uterine and menopausal), and obesity/overweight were documented. Thirty (38) plant species belonging to 24 plant families are profiled. The family Fabaceae had the highest number of species (n=7) while stem bark was the most frequently used (37%) plant part. Methods of preparations were mainly decoction and steeping of botanicals in alcohol. Administration includes taking one tot/half-a-glass cup, 2 (morning and night) to 3 times daily. Conclusion and Application of Findings: This study documents and further emphasizes the role of medicinal plants in female reproductive health. Although some of the plants reported here have been cited for the management of diseases such as skin infections and malaria/yellow fever, published reports on their use for women-related health disorders are limited. This research finds application in reproductive disorders in women and alternative approach to health care systems. These plants are presented for experimentation and scientific validation. Efforts should be made to conserve these plants, especially those that show promising bioactivity. Key words: Women, Arthritis, Fibroid, Obesity, Medicinal plant, Nigeria

Carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) pod is a characteristic fruit from the Mediterranean regions. It is composed by seeds, the valuable part due to the extraction of locust bean gum, and the pulp, considered a by-product of the fruit processing industry. Carob pulp is a mixture of macro- and micronutrients, such as carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, and secondary metabolites with functional properties. In the last few years, numerous studies on the chemical and biological characteristics of the pulp have been performed to encourage its commercial use. Its potential applications as a nutraceutical ingredient in many recipes for food and beverage elaborations have been extensively evaluated. Another aspect highlighted in this work is the use of alternative processes or conditions to mitigate furanic production, recognized for its toxicity. Furthermore, carob pulp’s similar sensorial, chemical and biological properties to cocoa, the absence of the stimulating alkaloids theobromine and caffeine, as well as its low-fat content, make it a healthier potential substitute for cocoa. This paper reviews the nutritional and functional values of carob pulp-based products in order to provide information on the proclaimed health-promoting properties of this interesting by-product.

AbstractAs part of a validation program of antimalarial traditional recipes, an ethnotherapeutic approach was applied in Dionfo, a meso-endemic Guinean rural area where conventional health facilities are insufficient. A prevalence investigation indicated a malarial burden of 4.26%. Ethnomedical and ethnobotanical surveys led to a collection of 63 plant species used against malaria from which Terminalia albida (Combretaceae) was one of the most cited. Ethnotherapeutic evaluation of a remedy based on T. albida was applied to 9 voluntary patients suffering from uncomplicated malaria. Treatment of 7 to 14 days led to an improvement of clinical symptoms and a complete parasite clearance achievement of 8/9 patients without side effects. In addition to antiplasmodial activity in vitro and in vivo previously described, this study indicates an efficacy to support the antimalarial traditional use of T. albida, which could constitute a first-aid treatment when access to other medicines is delayed in the Dionfo community. Ethnotherapeutical investigation could be a valuable approach to guide subsequent investigations on traditional remedies.

Food blogs are an increasingly popular source of information about food and nutrition. There is a perception that foods published on clean eating blogs, which promote unprocessed foods, are healthier than comparable foods without these claims. However, foods with these claims and their nutrient composition have not previously been evaluated. The purpose of the study was to describe the nutritional content of clean eating recipes compared to recipes without clean eating claims and the nutritional guidelines published by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Clean eating recipes were systematically selected from 13 popular clean eating blogs and were described and compared with control recipes without clean eating claims. The nutrient profiles from the included recipes were summarised and evaluated against criteria from WHO recommendations for chronic disease prevention and criteria from the U.K. Food Standards Agency. Data for 86 clean eating recipes were extracted that represented five food categories: breakfast, snacks, treats, desserts, and smoothies. These were matched with 86 control recipes without clean eating claims. The clean eating recipes, per portion, provide the equivalent of 15% of daily energy intake. The average serving sizes were not significantly different between clean eating and control recipes. Overall, the clean eating recipes contained significantly more protein (8.1 ± 7.3 g vs. 5.7 ± 4.1 g, p = 0.01), fat (15.8 ± 10.6 g vs. 12.4 ± 9.3 g, p = 0.03), and fibre (5.0 ± 4.3 g vs. 2.8 ± 2.9 g, p < 0.01) per serving than control recipes. There were no significant differences between clean eating and control recipes with respect to the energy (1280 ± 714 kJ vs. 1137 ± 600 kJ, p = 0.16), carbohydrate (31.5 ± 27.3 g vs. 33.9 ± 19.4 g, p = 0.51), sugar (21.1 ± 20.9 g vs. 23.2 ± 14.9 g, p = 0.46), and sodium content (196.7 ± 269 vs. 155.8 ± 160.8, p = 0.23). Less than 10% of clean eating and control recipes met the WHO constraints for proportions of energy from fat and sugar intake. A simulated nutrient profile of an average clean and control recipe shows that nutrients for both are similarly classified as moderate to high in fat, saturated fat, salt, and sugar. Foods with clean eating claims contained the same amount of energy, sugar, and sodium as foods without those claims. Clean eating claims are potentially misleading for consumers who may believe these foods are healthy alternatives, potentially undermining people’s efforts to eat a healthy diet.

AbstractObjective:To apply a dietary modelling approach to investigate the impact of substituting beef intakes with three types of alternative fatty acid (FA) composition of beef on population dietary fat intakes.Design:Cross-sectional, national food consumption survey – the National Adult Nutrition Survey (NANS). The fat content of the beef-containing food codes (n 52) and recipes (n 99) were updated with FA composition data from beef from animals receiving one of three ruminant dietary interventions: grass-fed (GRASS), grass finished on grass silage and concentrates (GSC) or concentrate-fed (CONC). Mean daily fat intakes, adherence to dietary guidelines and the impact of altering beef FA composition on dietary fat sources were characterised.Setting:Ireland.Participants:Beef consumers (n 1044) aged 18–90 years.Results:Grass-based feeding practices improved dietary intakes of a number of individual FA, wherein myristic acid (C14 : 0) and palmitic acid (C16 : 0) were decreased, with an increase in conjugated linoleic acid (C18 : 2c9,t11) and trans-vaccenic acid (C18 : 1t11; P < 0·05). Improved adherence with dietary recommendations for total fat (98·5 %), SFA (57·4 %) and PUFA (98·8 %) was observed in the grass-fed beef scenario (P < 0·001). Trans-fat intakes were increased significantly in the grass-fed beef scenario (P < 0·001).Conclusions:To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to characterise the impact of grass-fed beef consumption at population level. The study suggests that habitual consumption of grass-fed beef may have potential as a public health strategy to improve dietary fat quality.

Abstract: Breakfast holds significant importance as it constitutes a vital component of daily nutrition. With the rising demand for nutritious and convenient food choices, there has been an emergence of premixes tailored for traditional recipes. This project specifically targets the creation of a Ragi Dosa Premix—a dry mix designed for effortless dosa preparation using ragi (finger millet), renowned for its nutritional richness and gluten-free properties. The objective of the premix is to offer a wholesome and convenient solution for health-conscious consumers. Enriched with fiber and protein, the premix is associated with positive effects on various aspects of health including appetite regulation, weight management, body composition, and overall well-being. Additionally, it aids in mitigating the risk of developing common conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, while also promoting lower blood pressure, improved weight control, and reduced instances of constipation. Combining the nutritional benefits of three different flours—ragi, urad dal, and rice—the product is further fortified with calcium and iron compounds. Sensory and microbial analyses were conducted to evaluate the product's attributes and safety. The proximate analysis revealed key nutritional parameters such as moisture content (8.8%), total fats (2.69g/100g), protein (14.19g/100g), carbohydrates (70.27g/100g), crude fiber (2.59g/100g), ash content (1.26), calcium (190.16mg/100g), and iron (3.02mg/100g). The microbial load was found to be within acceptable limits. Organoleptic assessment, encompassing attributes like color, flavor, texture, taste, and odor, indicated favorable reception by panelists, garnering a high rating score of 8. A packaging solution was chosen based on considerations of product properties and shelf-life requirements, with the product exhibiting a shelf life of 2 months from the manufacturing date. In conclusion, the developed product offers a nutrient-rich, fiber- and protein-packed breakfast alternative, catering to health-conscious consumers.

One of the problems of the feed industry is still unresolved issues in the field of the use of irreplaceable biologically active feed substances in feed for aquaculture facilities. The article discusses the experience of using astaxanthin in sterlet feeding. The study of the effect of astaxanthin on the morphophysiological state of fish, allows us to develop highly effective recipes for compound feeds for valuable species of aquaculture. Astaxanthin has a unique molecular structure that allows it to be both inside and outside the cell membrane at the same time. This is what provides better cell protection compared to beta-carotene and vitamin C. This powerful antioxidant has a huge impact on the work of all systems and overall health, but this practice has not affected valuable objects of aquaculture. The effect of astaxanthin on the physiological status of sturgeon fish has not been studied. It was found that the addition of astaxanthin — 20.0 and 40.0 mg/kg to the composition of production feeds allowed to increase productivity by 1.9 and 2.3 times, respectively. The indicators of energy metabolism also indicate a better accumulation of plastic substances in the fish of the experimental groups: hemoglobin in the variants with the addition of astaxanthin in the feed was 77.4 and 71.3 g/l, which is 17.6 and 8.4% higher than in the fish of the control group, in the same variants of the study, in comparison with the control sample, the level of total protein was significantly higher by 17.4 and 22.2% (p < 0.05). Thus, it can be said that the antioxidant astaxanthin provided more favorable trophic and biochemical conditions necessary, in particular, for the normal growth and development of fish.

Food insecurity, chronic hunger, starvation and malnutrition continue to affect millions of individuals throughout the developing world, especially Sub-Saharan Africa. Various initiatives by African governments and International Agencies such as the UN, the industrial nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the World Trade Organisation to boost economic development, have failed to provide the much-needed solution to these challenges. The impact of these economic shifts and the failures of structural adjustment programmes on the nutritional well-being and health of the most vulnerable members of poor communities cannot be over-emphasised. The use of ad hoc measures as an adjunct to community-based rural integrated projects have provided little success and will be unsustainable unless they are linked to harnessing available local resources. The present paper therefore focuses on exploring alternative ways of harnessing the scant agricultural resources by employing a scientific approach to food-related problem-solving. The food multimix (FMM) concept offers a scientific contribution alongside other attempts currently in use by the World Food Programme, WHO and FAO to meet the food insecurity challenges that confront most of the developing world in the twenty-first century. It is an innovative approach that makes better use of traditional food sources as a tool for meeting community nutritional needs. The FMM concept employs a food-based approach using traditional methods of food preparation and locally-available, cheap and affordable staples (fruits, pulses, vegetables and legumes) in the formulation of nutrient-enriched multimixes. Developed recipes can provide ≥40% of the daily nutritional requirements of vulnerable groups, including patients with HIV/AIDS and children undergoing nutrition rehabilitation. The FMM approach can also be used as a medium- to long-term adjunct to community-based rural integration projects aimed at health improvement and economic empowerment in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Perlite is a type of volcanic glass that is formed in nature as a result of the cooling of magma lava and contains water droplets in its structure. It is a raw material that is not harmful to health, is environmentally friendly, and is easy to use because it is produced at high temperatures. The properties of this raw material that enable it to be used in many fields of industry have formed the factors determining the study titled "Investigation of Perlite Added Ceramic Body Properties". In the art of ceramics, while the artists create their clay; they add alternative materials to provide flexibility, reduce the weight of large-sized forms, and provide different textures and aesthetic qualities. There are a wide variety of organic and inorganic raw materials added to the body. This study, it was aimed to determine the usability and additive ratios of perlite in ceramic bodies. Body recipes were prepared by adding 0%, 3%, 5%, and 7% perlite to chamotte and casting slip. The prepared bodies were fired at 950°C and 1200°C. Perlite-added bodies were compared with perlite-free bodies, and total shrinkage and water absorption tests were carried out. As a result of the experiments carried out in line with the study; It has been observed that 7% perlite additive causes deformation in casting slip, and no deformation occurs at all additive ratios in chamotte. It has been observed that perlite additive has positive effects on color and sintering properties in both clay types, regardless of firing temperature.

Medicinal plants can be a good alternative for many disease and conditions. They are low cost, and tend to have fewer side effects. Among all plant parts used for the treatment of diseases and leaves are the most active part used in recipes formulations, which showed quite effective results. They can still have unwanted health effects, especially when used in combination with other drugs. Sapindaceae is a noteworthy medicinal plant family which is also known as soapberry family. It contains 145 genera and 1,925 accepted species. Examples include horse chestnut, maples, and lychee. The Sapindaceae occur in temperate to tropical regions, many in laurel forest habitat, throughout the world. A large number of them are laticiferous, i.e. they contain latex, a milky sap, and many contain mildly toxic saponins with soap-like qualities in the foliage or the seeds, or roots. The largest genera are Serjania, Paullinia, Allophylus and Acer. This study looked atseven medicinal plantswhich are exhibited different therapeutic activities. These seven medicinal plants are taken namely- Nephelium lappaceum, Allophus serratus, Cardiospermum halicacabum, Diomocarpus longan, Schleichera oleosa,Litchi chinensis and Harpullia arborea. These plants reported the presence of phytochemical constituents and also characterized by antimalarial, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antimigrane, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcerogenic, anti-cancer, antiolytic, analgesic, anti-trichomonas, anti-diabetic, hepatoprotective, insecticidal, molluscicidal, piscicidal and spermacidal properties.These Plants have sedative, diuretic, tonic, antispasmodic and antiseptic properties.These medicinal plants could beuseful components of a development strategy which enhances sustainable rural livelihoods, protect habitats and biodiversity throughout the world.

Soybean (Glycine max L.) accounts for 25% of global vegetable oil production. It is a high-protein, high-nutritional-value food that is beneficial for chronic disease prevention and treatment, alleviates depressive symptoms, and improves skin health, fiber, high in calcium and magnesium, essential amino acids, anthocyanin, saponins, lipids, and oligosaccharides. According to epidemiological studies, consumption of soybean based foods provides the advantages of lowering the prevalence of heart disease, reducing the chance of an ischemic stroke, and lowering cholesterol, which reduces the likelihood of atherosclerosis. It is effective against a wide range of malignancies, including breast, prostate, colorectal, ovarian, and endometrial cancers. Soybean recipe have antioxidant properties and helps to ease menopausal symptoms in women as well as lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. Isoflavones, a phytochemical present in soybeans, have numerous health benefits. Soybean recipes (dishes) are created in varied ways and composite ratios in different countries. Soy milk, bread, enjera, tofu and kukis are a few examples in Ethiopia. In all types of the recipes prepared, their nutritional compositions are outstanding and delicious in their tastes. The large population of Ethiopian Orthodoxy Christianity followers are not allowed during seasons of fasting, to consume proteins derived from animals. Hence soybean foods are good alternatives during those fasting days for the problem of protein malnutrition and vitamin A absorption. Ethiopian traditional unique foods like enjera, bread, wot, kitta, biscuit, kukis etc. can be prepared from soybean mixed flour. Owing to its superior nutritional value as a well-balanced diet and several health advantages, we advise making greater use of soybean-based recipes, oils, and products.

This qualitative method research aims to explain the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as an alternative means of optimizing interpersonal communication between doctors and pharmacists in terms of prescribing drugs. Because in practice, there are still many drug administration errors due to miscommunication between what the doctor writes or prescribes and what the pharmacist understands and gives to the patient. One that can be done by applying AI to electronic recipes. Unfortunately, the expansion of the use of AI technology in Indonesia in the pharmaceutical sector (especially drug prescribing) is still rarely found. In electronic prescribing, AI technology will help doctors to diagnose diseases suffered by patients through the analysis of previous medical reports. Then the doctor can directly send the prescription to the pharmacist through the computer. So that pharmacists can directly read, prepare and mix medicines. Through this mechanism, errors in prescribing that often occur can be minimized, thereby improving patient safety. The results of the study also show that although electronic prescribing can help overcome many medical problems, it can also cause new problems. For example electronic prescription systems can affect the workload of doctors and pharmacists by creating new types of prescribing errors such as delivery of prescriptions with medications, dosages or incorrect drug regimens. Not only that, but electronic prescribing systems can also raise concerns about information security and patient privacy when sharing prescription information with pharmacies. When sharing and storing patient prescription information, data security must be ensured to avoid changes that could potentially compromise the patient's health. The use of AI in electronic prescribing does not necessarily indicate clinical efficiency. Because it is also influenced by several factors, one of which is related to the knowledge and ability to use AI technology and the electronic prescribing system itself.

This research investigates the potential health benefits of extracts from the seeds, peels, and pulps of quince, medlar, and bletting medlar fruits. Our study reveals that the polyphenol content is higher in the skin than in the flesh of the fruits tested, with the highest concentration found in the skin of fresh medlar fruits (1148 mg GAE/100 gDM). The extracts from medlar and quince show the highest antioxidant activity (ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP tests), while the pulp of bletting medlars exhibits the highest inhibition ability against α-amylase (53.7% at a concentration of 10 mg/mL). The analysis of fatty acids in the tested samples indicates the presence of nine major fatty acids, with linoleic acid being the most abundant (716–1878 mg/100 g of biomass). Analysis of sterols in the tested material shows five main phytosterols, with β-sitosterol being the most commonly studied and recommended phytosterol. The highest amount of phytosterols is found in the lipid fraction of the quince seeds (1337.1 mg/100 g of biomass). Therefore, we suggest that fruit peel extracts can be utilised as a natural source of antioxidants and as an alternative treatment for carbohydrate uptake disorders. However, it is important to note that bletting medlar loses a significant amount of polyphenols and antioxidant activity after the bletting process. This article also describes the sensory analysis process, which is a valuable tool for evaluating the quality of food products. Our study evaluates the attributes and preferences of the fruits of quince, medlar, and bletting medlar using a nine-point hedonic scale. The results show that quince is the highest-rated fruit in terms of aroma, colour, and overall acceptability (7.3, 7.0, and 4.2, respectively) while bletting medlar is the least preferred fruit. The article concludes that sensory analysis can aid in the development of new products and recipes that meet consumer preferences. In general, the study suggests that both fruit peel extracts and sensory analysis are important tools for assessing product quality and developing products that meet consumers’ preferences.

To pursue a healthy lifestyle, people are increasingly concerned about their food ingredients. Recently, it has become a common practice to use an online recipe to select the ingredients that match an individual’s meal plan and healthy diet preference. The information from online recipes can be extracted and used to develop various food-related applications. Named entity recognition (NER) is often used to extract such information. However, the problem in building an NER system lies in the massive amount of data needed to train the classifier, especially on a specific domain, such as food. There are food NER datasets available, but they are still quite limited. Thus, we proposed an iterative self-training approach called semi-supervised multi-model prediction technique (SMPT) to construct a food ingredient NER dataset. SMPT is a deep ensemble learning model that employs the concept of self-training and uses multiple pre-trained language models in the iterative data labeling process, with a voting mechanism used as the final decision to determine the entity’s label. Utilizing the SMPT, we have created a new annotated dataset of ingredient entities obtained from the Allrecipes website named FINER. Finally, this study aims to use the FINER dataset as an alternative resource to support food computing research and development.

Decreasing meat consumption has resulted in a need for new high-quality protein sources. Tempeh is relatively unknown in Denmark and might be capable of meeting this need. The aim of the study was to describe the success criteria for introducing locally produced tempeh and to investigate the sensory quality of three types of tempeh. Only 24% of the consumers in the survey (n = 395) used meat alternatives, which might be explained by a low level of satisfaction with availability. Tempeh was known by 26%—the less meat eaten, the greater the knowledge of tempeh. Twenty-three per cent of the consumers had positive attitudes towards tempeh. The three types of tempeh had markedly different sensory profiles. Nevertheless, the home use test showed that they could be used interchangeably in different recipes. In addition, the consumers were more positive about recipes in which tempeh did not resemble meat compared with meat-inspired recipes. In conclusion, introducing locally produced tempeh on the Danish market is possible but would require further knowledge of the product. In addition, tempeh should be sold as a tasty, high-quality protein food item in its own right. Recipes using tempeh should reflect this and not mimic meat recipes.

In the age of the Anthropocene, questions of ecological sustainability, animal ethics, and human health are intimately entangled. From a gender perspective, compared to women, men’s diets tend to be less healthy and sustainable. This is linked to worse health outcomes for men. Therefore, alternative, more ethical ways of eating that have the potential to improve men’s health and well-being and simultaneously contribute to better public health and sustainability outcomes should be encouraged. Veganism addresses issues of food, health, climate change, and animal justice simultaneously. This article explores vegan men’s food practices in relation to health and well-being, drawing on qualitative interviews with 61 vegan men. The interview material was analyzed using the method of thematic analysis. Our findings suggest that becoming vegan encourages positive changes in men’s health behavior. This includes paying more attention to nutrition and taking better care of one’s health. Vegan men report experiencing better physical and mental well-being upon going vegan. Based on these findings, we argue that vegan men’s food and health practices contribute to the emergence of healthier masculinities, as vegan men help to challenge links between risky health behavior and masculinity.

Background Childhood overweight and obesity are major health challenges in the United States. One of the recommendations to combat obesity is to maintain a healthy diet, which is often best supported by eating home-cooked meals to control cooking methods, ingredients, and portions. Diet control through home cooking is challenged because of the decline in culinary skills in the population and a paucity of effective culinary nutrition education (CNE) programs. Providing technology-enabled CNE (CNE-tech) to overweight and obese adolescents can equip them with life skills that can assist them in the future. Such skills can facilitate saving money, eating healthier, and creating social environments. In addition, CNE builds cooking confidence and food literacy that in turn can build adolescent self-efficacy, particularly toward managing their health behaviors. Objective This study aimed to inform functionalities, design requirements, and the context of use for CNE-tech that could enhance overweight and obese adolescents’ healthy food literacy, cooking confidence, and general self-efficacy with regard to self-management to ultimately promote healthy lifestyle management. Methods The design science study was completed in 2 distinct phases engaging overweight and obese adolescents, parents of overweight and obese adolescents, and the health care providers that treat adolescents with these conditions. Phase 2, our primary source of data, involved user-centered design methods including the following: (1) early stage prototype usability analysis, (2) semistructured interviews with 70 overweight or obese adolescents engaged in a healthy behavior program, and (3) semistructured interviews with 10 health care providers. Data were analyzed using constant comparison analysis to identify functionalities, design requirements, and inform the context of use of CNE-tech. Results Data revealed specific desired functionalities for the CNE-tech related to building cooking skills, populating a healthy recipe database, suggesting healthy alternatives, supporting the construction of a healthy plate, and the ability to share healthy recipes and cooking accomplishments. Moreover, the adolescents provided design requirements pertaining to the presentation (eg, vivid colors, semirealistic images, and cooking sounds), use of multimedia, and gaming. Data further revealed contextual factors, such as shared experiences with family members and enhanced continued use. Conclusions We demonstrate the potentiality of creating CNE-tech that could effectively lead to better self-care and induce sustainable behavioral change as it facilitates skill building, self-efficacy, and a pathway that enables overweight and obese adolescents to influence cooking habits in their family home and future dwellings. Our CNE-tech–proposed solution aligns with the goals of overweight and obese adolescents and also reflects existing theories about behavioral change.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the experience of health professionals in clinical trials of traditional herbal medicines in Mali. Material and methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted from June to December 2022 among healthcare professionals in three randomly selected localities: the district of Bamako and the regions of Koulikoro and Sikasso. Data were collected by direct interview using an anonymous questionnaire. The Chi-square (χ2) test was used to assess factors associated with participation in clinical trials of traditional medicines. Results: The involvement of healthcare professionals in clinical trials of traditional medicines was low (3.5%) and was associated with age (p=0.021). The obstacles to conducting these trials reported by healthcare professionals were lack of funding and failure to take account of the specificities of traditional medicines in clinical trial regulations. Some healthcare professionals suggest ethnomedical evaluation of recipes proposed by traditional practitioners and the use of reverse pharmacology as alternatives. Conclusion: Research into traditional medicines could be given greater impetus by the long-term funding of clinical trials and by less costly alternatives such as the ethnomedical evaluation of recipes proposed by traditional healers and reverse pharmacology.

In order to pilot a study observing the feasibility of applying the Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) version 2.0 to assess the quality of life (QOL) of patients with NSCLC treated with Feiji Recipe, a randomized, parallel controlled clinical trial was conducted in the university-affiliated hospital. Seventy inpatients who met the inclusion criteria were randomized into the study, and 60 cases were available as subjects for QOL data analysis. The subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups: the Feiji Recipe group (A); the Feiji Recipe combined with chemotherapy group (B); and the chemotherapy group (C) in which the patients were treated with vinorelbine plus cisplatin (NP) or gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GP). QOL was assessed with the Chinese version of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30. Sixty cases that finished the questionnaires were analyzed, and we found that patients who received chemotherapy had low QOL, in terms of their global health, role, emotional, social, economic status and symptom burden including fatigue, nausea and vomiting, dyspnea, loss of appetite and abnormal bowel movements. Simultaneous treatment with Feiji Recipe and chemotherapy was able to prevent the worsening of function in terms of role, social, fatigue and global health. The Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) version 2.0 can be used to evaluate the QOL of patients with NSCLC treated by Chinese herbal medicine. Feiji Recipe might partially improve the QOL of NSCLC patients when administered alone or in combination with chemotherapy. No unexpected side effects were observed. However, further double-blinded placebo controlled studies are strongly recommended.

Purpose: Snacking is quite a common preference in this busy world. Increasing the availability of healthier snack alternatives might help consumers view snacks as foods that support health.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The current experimental study aimed to determine the nutritional, functional and sensory properties of home-baked cupcakes encouraged with six variants with indigenous flaxseed flour (FF) and flaxseed oil (FO) in 10, 15 and 30% of batter substitution. A one-way ANOVA, least significant difference and Pearson’s correlation were applied using IBM SPSS version 21.0.
Findings: Proximate analysis indicated an increase in ash, fiber and protein contents as compared to the standard formulation. The highest ash (1.91±0.26%), fiber (1.09±0.01%) and protein contents (3.08±0.30%) were observed in the sample FF30 (30% flaxseed flour). The cupcakes with 30% flaxseed oil had a significantly greater fat content (35.91±0.55%) and hence a total calorie value of 221.00±3.17%. Antioxidant activity and phenol content of fortified cupcakes ranged from 32.88–76.02% and 22–80 mgGAE/100 gms respectively. The sensory evaluation proved FF15 and FO30 to be the most acceptable recipes.
Conclusion: Minor recipe alterations to snacks may yield large and long-term health benefits especially promoting immunity and reducing the risk of inflammatory chronic illnesses. Flaxseed oil might be used in snacks substituting for other vegetable oils to enhance the essential fatty acid content without compromising its acceptability. New formulations could therefore be tested to develop foods fortified with higher proportions of functional and nutritious ingredients especially given the ever-increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses.

The article presents the results of research on minced nutria, rabbit, chicken meat with the addition of chlorella microalgae and lentil flour to enrich the product with essential substances and expand the range of health products. The use of microalgae in food is quite effective because they are an alternative source of micro- and macronutrients that are essential for human health. The research of the influence of vegetable raw materials on the quality indicators of meat loaves with the use of dietary meat was conducted. It is proposed to use chlorella additive “Vegan Prod” (powder), in the amount of 3 % of minced meat weight as part of the recipe of meat loaves. According to the results of organoleptic evaluation, the addition of 3 and 2 % lentil flour to the minced microalgae of chlorella “Vegan Prod” per 100 kg of raw materials creates the preconditions for improving the functional and technological properties of finished products. According to the results of studies of meat breads before and after baking the mineral composition of trace elements K, Mg, P, their content was doubled after heat treatment, which is explained by the addition of “Vegan Prod” chlorella and lentil flour to the recipe, increasing them as a result of decreasing moisture content in the finished product. However the use of chlorella “Vegan Prod”, although it affects the color change of the product, but does not worsen the overall score on organoleptic parameters. The use of dietary meat of nutria, rabbit and poultry in the recipe of meat loaves affects the stabilization of the structure, organoleptic properties and increases the yield of the finished product.

Qingre Jiedu (QJ) recipe exerted significant cardioprotective efficacy against heart failure (HF), which is a growing health concern that continues to endanger patients' lives. To investigate the protective properties and mechanism of the QJ recipe, we established hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced H9C2 cells and HF rats. The predicted targets and significant pathways of QJ against HF were collected and screened based on network pharmacology from key ingredients and validated by in vivo and in vitro experiments. The decoction of QJ (0.823 g/kg/day) was intragastrically administered for four weeks. QJ (400 μg/mL) was cultured with H2O2 stimulated in the H9C2 cells. A total of 31 effective active compounds were screened in QJ and covered 277 targets, of which 85 were shared with HF-related targets. In vivo, the QJ recipe remarkably protected heart function and reduced serum IL-1, IL-6, PIIINP, and CIV levels. Furthermore, QJ downregulated the key proteins mediating inflammatory responses (p-IKKα/β, p-NFκB, and IL-6) and cardiac fibrosis (STAT3 and MMP-9). In vitro, QJ protected the cardiomyocytes against H2O2-stimulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and upregulated PI3K and AKT expressions. Further experiments demonstrate that PI3K inhibitor LY294002 remarkably compromised the effects of QJ. In conclusion, our findings indicate that QJ could exert a cardioprotective effect and inhibit fibrosis and inflammation in HF rats via the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.

Les maladies du foie peuvent constituer une principale source de menace pour la santé publique. En Afrique, la situation est plus complexe en raison des contaminations par les virus des hépatites B et C. En Côte d’Ivoire, la prévalence des hépatites est de 12 % pour l’hépatite virale B et de 5 % pour l’hépatite virale C. Le traitement médical constitue l’un des défis majeurs à relever pour les vaincre. Cependant, le coût élevé du traitement proposé par la médecine moderne, oblige la plupart des patients à recourir à la médecine traditionnelle. Il est donc nécessaire d’explorer le monde végétal pour rechercher les plantes médicinales pouvant constituer une alternative thérapeutique non négligeable. L’objectif de cette étude est d’inventorier les plantes médicinales utilisées dans le traitement traditionnel des atteintes hépatiiques à Bengassou dans le département de Bocanda (Centre-Est de la Côte d’Ivoire). Les enquêtes ethnobotaniques ont été menées dans cette localité auprès de 23 tradipraticiens, à l’aide d’un questionnaire. Dans cette étude, trois pathologies du foie que sont l’ictère, l’hépatite et la cirrhose ont été recensées. Quarante-quatre (44) espèces végétales ont été répertoriées avec leurs modes d’utilisation. Les feuilles (76 %) constituant la partie de plante la plus utilisée, sont couramment préparées sous forme de décoction (82 %). La voie orale (50 %), reste principalement celle conseillée pour l’administration des remèdes. Les investigations sur l’implication des plantes médicinales dans les recettes contre ces affections ont montré que Alchornea cordifolia (Cpr= 17,65 %), Costus afer (Cpr= 11,76 %), Morinda lucida (Cpr= 11,76 %), Newbouldia leavis (Cpr= 11,76 %) et Vernonia colorata (Cpr= 11,76 %) entrent dans la plupart des préparations médicamenteuses. Selon ces résultats, les plantes recensées pourraient être utiles dans la lutte contre certaines atteintes hépatiques, particulièrement l’hépatite, la cirrhose et l’ictère. Liver disease can be a major threat to public health. In Africa, the situation is more complex due to contamination by hepatitis B and C viruses. In Côte d'Ivoire, the prevalence of hepatitis is 12% for viral hepatitis B and 5% for viral hepatitis C. Medical treatment is one of the major challenges in overcoming them. However, the high cost of treatment offered by modern medicine forces most patients to turn to traditional medicine. It is therefore necessary to explore the plant world in search of medicinal plants that could provide a significant therapeutic alternative. The aim of this study is to inventory the medicinal plants used in the traditional treatment of hepatitis in Bengassou in the Bocanda department (central-eastern Côte d'Ivoire). Ethnobotanical surveys were carried out in this locality among 23 traditional practitioners, using a questionnaire. In this study, three liver pathologies were identified: jaundice, hepatitis and cirrhosis. Forty-four (44) plant species were listed, along with their modes of use. Leaves (76%), the most widely used part of the plant, are commonly prepared as a decoction (82%). The oral route (50%) remains the preferred method for administering remedies. Investigations into the involvement of medicinal plants in recipes to treat these ailments showed that Alchornea cordifolia (Cpr= 17.65%), Costus afer (Cpr= 11.76%), Morinda lucida (Cpr= 11.76%), Newbouldia leavis (Cpr= 11.76%) and Vernonia colorata (Cpr= 11.76%) are used in most medicinal preparations. According to these results, the plants listed could be useful in combating certain liver disorders, particularly hepatitis, cirrhosis and jaundice.

Bacterial infections are among the most significant health problems/concerns worldwide. A very critical concern is the rapidly increasing number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which requires much more effective countermeasures. As nature’s antibacterial entities, bacteriophages shortly (“phages”) are very important alternatives to antibiotics, having many superior features compared with antibiotics. The development of phage-carrying controlled-release formulations is still challenging due to the need to protect their activities in preparation, storage, and use, as well as the need to create more user-friendly forms by considering their application area/site/conditions. Here, we prepared gelatin hydrogel microbeads by a two-step process. Sodium alginate was included for modification within the initial recipes, and these composite microbeads were further coated with chitosan. Their swelling ratio, average diameters, and Zeta potentials were determined, and degradations in HCl were demonstrated. The target bacteria Escherichia coli (E.coli) and its specific phage (T4) were obtained from bacterial culture collections and propagated. Phages were loaded within the microbeads with a simple method. The phage release characteristics were investigated comparatively and were demonstrated here. High release rates were observed from the gelatin microbeads. It was possible to reduce the phage release rate using sodium alginate in the recipe and chitosan coating. Using these gelatin-based microbeads as phage carrier matrices—especially in lyophilized forms—significantly improved the phage stability even at room temperature. It was concluded that phage release from gelatin hydrogel microbeads could be further controlled by alginate and chitosan modifications and that user-friendly lyophilized phage formulations with a much longer shelf life could be produced.
