BACKGROUND We aimed to assess the effects of anise on quality of life (QOL) of patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) in a double-blind randomized clinical trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of 180 patients attending the gastroenterology clinic, 107 ones with the diagnosis of postprandial distress syndrome according to Rome III criteria were enrolled. They were randomized into two groups, anise an...

A brief explanation is given of the language ANISE (Architectural Notions In Service Engineering) that can be used to describe generic services as well as telecommunications services. The ANISE approach embodies a feature calculus that can be used to structure and analyse services. A description is given of the Plain Old Telephone Service using ANISE. This is extended for a number of typical fe...

Antifungal activities of fluid extract and essential oil obtained from anise fruits Pimpinella anisum L. (Apiaceae) were tested in vitro on clinical isolates of seven species of yeasts and four species of dermatophytes. Diffusion method with cylinders and the broth dilution method were used for antifungal activity testing. Anise fluid extract showed antimycotic activity against Candida albicans...

BACKGROUND Essential oil of Pimpinella anisum L. Apiaceae (anise oil) has been widely used in traditional Persian medicine to treat a variety of diseases, including some neurological disorders. This study was aimed to test the possible anti-seizure and anti-hypoxia effects of anise oil. METHODS The effects of different concentrations of anise oil were tested on seizure attacks induced by pent...

The role of dietary active compounds in human nutrition is an important area of investigation in the field of nutritional science. In this perspective, functional foods play a relevant role, offering a new kind of health tool that promises specific effects related to particular food components. Anise plant has a long cultural tradition in various countries all over the world, both as food and a...

background: excessive use of antibiotic growth promoters leaded in the creation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and by consuming animal products, humans are at risk of receiving their residual. therefore, instead of using antibiotics as growth promoters, some alternatives must be identified and introduced to animal breeders. objectives: the purpose of this research was to study the effect of a...

Consider a two-body collision process . Raiman[1986] observed that the conventional qualitative approach to this problem amounts to suppressing the mass information, which becomes inadequate when one wants to determine the direction of the velocity of an abject after a collision . He resolved this by going back to the original algebraic equations, which have all the mass factors . He then proce...

Essential oil of star anise as well as phenylpropanoids and sesquiterpenes, for example, trans-anethole, eugenol, β-eudesmol, farnesol, β-caryophyllene and β-caryophyllene oxide, which are present in many essential oils, were examined for their antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in vitro. Antiviral activity was analyzed by plaque reduction assays and mode of antivira...
