Researchers in India from Government Medical College, Government Ayurved College, Indira Gandhi Government Medical College, and Pharmanza compared the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Boswellia serrata extract (BSE) in knee osteoarthritis (OA) with valdecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor. In the randomized, prospective, open-label, comparative study, the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BSE was compared with valdecoxib in 66 patients of OA of knee for six months. The patients were assessed by WOMAC scale at baseline and thereafter at monthly intervals until one month after drug discontinuation. Antero-posterior radiographs of affected knee joint were taken at baseline and after six months. The study found that in the BSE group, the pain, stif

RiskMore Fruit, Less Meat to Reduce Colon Cancer Risk Eating more fruit and less meat may help prevent precancerous colon polyps, according to the results of a new study. Researchers from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill explained that recent evidence suggests overall dietary patterns, rather than specific dietary components, may be a better predictor of colorectal adenomas or cancers. The scientists used cluster analysis to assess the association between dietary patterns and colorectal adenomas and determine whether adjusting for total energy consumption prior to creating clusters affects this relation. Data from a case-control study of 725 individuals undergoing a colonoscopy was used; 203 patients had at least one adenoma or colonoscopy, 522 patients (the controls) had no adenomas. Dietary data was obtained from a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Researchers calculated the daily intake for 18 different food groups and tran

the Good with the BadCoffee: Balancing the Good with the Bad Reducing the acrylamide content of coffee to protect against potential nervous system damage and carcinogenic effects may also negatively impact the flavor and nutritional benefits of the popular beverage, a new study reports.Researchers at the European Commission in Belgium and Nestlé Product Technology Centre in Switzerland explained that because of the recognized toxicity of acrylamide, intensive efforts have been made to reduce the concentration of this undesired Maillard by-product in food. Acrylamide, a chemical compound that may damage the nervous system and is carcinogenic in laboratory animals, is created when starchy foods are baked, roasted, fried or toasted. The study involved a series of experiments aimed at determining the concentration of acrylamide and the in vitro radical scavenging capacity in the same roasted and ground coffee samples, as it is well established that a significant part of

Hormone-Related Supplements and Breast CancerResearchers recently examined the effects of hormone-related supplements (HRS) on breast cancer risk and found that black cohosh may help manage menopausal symptoms and prevent breast cancer.Researchers from University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia evaluated whether use of HRS was associated with breast cancer risk, using a population-based case-control study in three counties of the Philadelphia metropolitan area consisting of 949 breast cancer cases and 1,524 controls.Use of HRS varied significantly by race, with African American women being more likely than European American women to use any herbal preparation (19.2 percent vs. 14.7 percent), as well as specific preparations including black cohosh (5.4 percent vs. 2.0 percent), ginseng (12.5 percent vs. 7.9 percent) and red clover (4.7 percent vs. 0.6 percent).The researchers found that use of bla

Wednesday, June 27, 2007 - Blue Agave, Tequila for Colon HealthBlue Agave, Tequila for Colon Health Compounds derived from the blue agave fruit, which is used to make the popular hard liquor tequila, may help deliver drugs to the colon to treat colon diseases, such as irritable bowel syndrome (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease) and cancer, a new study reports.Researchers from the University of Guadalajara in Mexcio explained that drug delivery to the colon is an ongoing challenge to physicians. Stomach acids destroy many drugs before they have had a chance to reach the intestine, where they usually are absorbed. According to the authors of this study, researchers have tried to circumvent this problem by inserting the drugs into carrier molecules that resist breakdown in the stomach. However, they have had difficulty finding a suitable carrier compound.Scientists developed the fructans, a class of polysaccharides, into tiny microspheres capable of carrying existing drugs that are

Researchers explained that effective approaches are needed to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus, which has been increasing in developed countries. The present study examined whether dietary supplementation with CLPr may prevent elevation of blood glucose levels in mice with diabetes mellitus and obesity. Diabetic obese mice and control mice were fed a diet containing 0 percent CLPr, 0.5 percent CLPr or 1.0 percent CLPr from age three weeks to age six weeks. Levels of blood glucose were measured at four and five weeks of age. The animals were sacrificed and the levels of blood glucose an

Forskolin, a root extract from Coleus forskohlii, has been used for a long time in traditional Asian systems of medicine to treat angina, asthma, bronchitis, epilepsy, insomnia, painful micturation, skin rashes and a wide range of digestive problems. Numerous studies on forskolin have been conducted since the 1970s. Basic science research has revealed several properties of forskolin, which are promising for clinical use.Researchers from Duke University tested forskolin in female mice with bladder infections caused by E. coli bacteria, which cause most UTIs.Twenty-four hours after the mice were infected with E. coli, the researchers injected forskolin directly into the mice's bladders or their bellies.

OverviewWhat is herbal medicine? Herbal medicine, also called botanical medicine or phytomedicine, refers to the use of any plant's seeds, berries, roots, leaves, bark, or flowers for medicinal purposes. Long practiced outside of conventional medicine, herbalism is becoming more mainstream as up-to-date analysis and research show their value in the treatment and prevention of disease. What is the history of herbal medicine? Plants had been used for medicinal purposes long before recorded history. For example, ancient Chinese and Egyptian papyrus writings describe medicinal plant uses. Indigenous cultures (e.g., African and Native American) used herbs in their healing rituals, while others developed traditional medical systems (e.g., Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine) in which herbal therapies were used systematically. Scientists found that people is different parts of the globe tended to use the same or similar plants for the same purposes. In the early 19th century, when meth
