The genera Gredzinskiya Dworakowska and Musbrnoia Dworakowska are revised and seven new species are described: Gredzinskiya lamellaris, G. serrata, G. spinalis, G. zhangae, Musbrnoia angusta, M. corollaris and M. lata spp. nov.. Habitus photos, illustrations of male genitalia and keys to adult males for both genera are provided.

Background: Dillenia serrata (locally known as singi) is a natural product with the potential to improve liver function in hypercholesterolemia, due anticholesterol and antioxidant properties.
 Objective: This study aimed investigate effect of D. on histopathological features rat livers induced by high-fat diet.
 Methods: used quasi-experimental vivo post-test-only control group desig...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common health condition, so it is always interesting to learn of new developments in the treatment of this potentially disabling and painful disorder. The results of recent clinical trials involving the herb Boswellia serrata reveal some quite startling results that suggest this Ayurvedic herb is not only capable of relieving OA symptoms, but also might be disease-modif...

Nitrogen (N) retranslocation within tree canopies has been intensively studied and assumed to function as a one-way process (e.g., from older to newer leaves). However, recent studies have found that both N output and input occur in individual leaves, suggesting that 'gross' N retranslocation exists behind 'net' N retranslocation. In the present study, the amount and direction of gross N retran...

PURPOSE To assess a potential role of Bruch´s membrane (BM) in the biomechanics of the eye, we measured its thickness and the density of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells in various ocular regions in eyes of varying axial length. METHODS Human globes, enucleated because of an ocular tumor or end-stage glaucoma were prepared for histological examination. Using light microscopy, the histol...

Background Since bacterial strains developed resistance against commonly used antibiotics and side effects became more serious, other alternatives have been postulated. There is an answer for this issue in ancient medicine. Many plants have been proved to provide antibacterial effect. In this study, Boswellia serrata (BS) and Nigella sativa (NS) were assessed to evaluate the antibacterial effec...

The stalk borer Eldana saccharina Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is a major limiting factor in South African sugarcane production, while yield is also reduced by sugarcane thrips Fulmekiola serrata Kobus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). Borer management options include appropriate nitrogen (N) and enhanced silicon (Si) nutrition; the effect of N on sugarcane thrips is unknown. We tested the effects ...
