Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (M.S) is a chronic autoimmune, inflammatory disease of the Central Nervous System (CNS) that leads to a variety of disabilities, including: asthenia, lack of coordination, abnormal vision, cognitive changes, and sexual and urinary dysfunction(1). M.S pathogenesis involves a complex process of the activity of macrophages and micro-glial cells that leads to differentiation of specific neural Th1 lymphocytes (Myelin auto reactive T-Cells) and secretion of pro-inflammatory

Medicinal plants are used traditionally in the treatment of various kinds of diseases since time immemorial. The present study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of leaves from Elephantopus scaber by using different solvents (ethyl alcohol, acetone and aqueous). The ethyl alcohol, acetone and aqueous extracts of leaves were subjected to phytochemical analyses, which revealed the presence of alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, tannins, coumarins

Mosquitoes can transmit a bigger number of illnesses than other variants of arthropods and have an impact on a large number of human population all throughout the world. WHO has declared that mosquitoes are the “public enemy number one” (Geneva, 1996). Dengue is a mosquito-transmitted disease created by the virus itself. It is transmitted by many types of mosquitoes on the Aedes genus, essentially Aedes Aegypti. The Department of Health (DOH) said, the quantity of dengue cases in the Philippines

Introduction Prunus is a genus of trees and shrubs, which includes the plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots and almonds. Around 430 species are spread throughout the northern temperate regions of the globe. Many members of the genus are widely cultivated for fruit and ornament. The fruit from this genus are commonly called the stone fruit (Browiz 1996; Browiz and Zohary 1996). Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are short, tandemly repeated DNA regions that are ubiquitously

Introduction There are several ecological and environmental benefits of green roofs which have consequentially brought in increasing interests in this technology. A green roof, as a “carpeting” of plants on the roof of buildings, offers many benefits in addition to enhancing its aesthetic value. Primarily, green roofs have the ability to delay the storm runoff peak occurrence, thus reducing the peak flow rate and mitigating flood risks. Another benefit is its thermal insulation potential that reduces

(Chauhan, 2010). Therefore, herbal plants have potential hypoglycemic activity that should be studied in order to produce diabetes drugs that are safe, economical, and effective. Gynura Procumbens Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr. belongs to the family Asteraceae. It is locally known as Sambung Nyawa or Sabungai. It is an evergreen shrub with medicinal properties widely distributed in South East Asia. The leaves of Gynura procumbens are ovate-elliptic or lanceolate. Leaf size ranges from 3.5 to 8 cm long

Sophie Hamann BOT 1 Term Paper 11/7/14 An Invasive Point of View Day to day, we are faced with perpetual decisions based on practical criteria. They have become so engrained within our regular schedule that we may not even think about the consequences. The automatic movements that we go through each day usually don’t require a major ethical decision. However, when they do, values, world views and personal interest are all considered. The decision making process is very often initiated with a world-view
