Morella rubra (Myricaceae), also known as Chinese bayberry, is an economically important, subtropical, evergreen fruit tree. The phylogenetic placement of Myricaceae within Fagales and the origin of Chinese bayberry's domestication are still unresolved. In this study, we report the chloroplast (cp) genome of M. rubra and take advantage of several previously reported chloroplast genomes from rel...

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to evaluate the antiulcerogenic property of hydroalcoholic extract obtained from the leaves of Plumeria alba Linn. METHODS Antiulcer assays were performed using the protocols of ulcer induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ethanol and pylorus ligation. The hydroalcoholic extract (HAPA), and various fractions of HAPA like, n-hexane extract (HPA), e...

AIM The present investigation was designed to evaluate antiarthritic potential of fractions of hydroalcoholic extract from leaves of P. alba. MATERIALS AND METHODS Plumeria alba L. leaves were extracted with hydroalcohol (30 : 70) to obtain hydroalcoholic extract of P. alba. This extract was further fractionated with solvents ethyl acetate and n-butanol to obtain EAPA and BPA, respectively. T...

In wood, lateral transport of water and minerals occurs readily in ‘integrated’ trees but is more restricted in ‘sectored species’. Dye distribution and a novel hydraulic technique are used to quantify species-specific differences in sectoriality in three temperate hardwoods, Betula papyrifera , Acer saccharum and Quercus rubra. Sectoriality was related to key elements of xylem structure: inter...

Hypertension and polycythaemia rubra vera commonly occur in the same patient. This is regarded as coincidence and the hypertension does not respond to correction of polycythaemia. We report a case of renal artery stenosis occurring simultaneously with polycythaemia rubra vera and suggest that renovascular occlusive disease should be excluded in such patients with refractory hypertension.

Spatial heterogeneity in microenvironments may provide unique regeneration niches for trees and may promote forest diversity. We examined how heterogeneity in understory cover, mineral nutrients, and moisture and their interactions with canopy gaps contribute to the coexistence of three common, co-occuring tree species. We measured survival and height growth of 1080 seedlings of Acer rubrum (re...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa in this case report, we present a 30‑year-old man who developed pityriasis rubra pilaris (prp) following exposure to dolomite. the diagnosis of prp was confirmed histologically and the patient was successfully treated with acitretin and cyclosporine.

Treatment Options for Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris Including Biologic Agents: A Retrospective Analysis From anAcademicMedical Center Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is characterized by hyperkeratoticpapules,palmoplantarkeratoderma, andwidespreaderythema with islands of sparing. Treatment is challenging, and a standard therapeutic protocol doesnot exist. Given thepaucity of available therapeutic data...
