It is caused due to repetitive and/or prolonged demineralization of tooth enamel caused by exposure to low pH from organic acids produced by acidogenic oral bacteria during fermentation of dietary carbohydrates. Streptococcus mutans is a facultative anaerobic , gram positive cocci commonly found in the human oral cavity which plays an important role in causing dental caries. Moringa oleifera Lam. (drumstick tree) is a Moringaceae family member which possesses a variety of advantageous biological properties, such as immunomodulatory, anticancer, antiulcer and antimicrobial properties. Thymus vulgaris is a pleasant smelling perennial shrub which has a direct influence on many bacteria species. The use of combinations of these two EOs and their components are thus a new approach to increase the antimicrobial efficacy of EOs , taking advantage of their synergistic and additive effects. Materials and methods: The broth microdilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) of the essential oils. The MIC of Moringa, Thyme and combination of the both essential oils against S.mutans which were used in the assay were assessed at a different concentration level. Results: The antimicrobial activity of M.oleifera, T.vulgaris and combination of both the essential oils was proven with the MIC value of 2.5%v/v, 0.03906% and 0.03906% respectively. Conclusion: The combination of Moringa oleifera and Thymus vulgaris essential oil can be used as a good antimicrobial agent to treat various Streptococci borne oral infections. Further incorporation of this oil into the drug formulations is also recommended to treat S.mutans borne oral as well as systemic infections.","PeriodicalId":41505,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Complementary Medicine Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84664221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Functional performance and psychological readiness after 1–10 years ACL reconstruction: A comparison between dominant and nondominant legs","authors":"Ahmed Almansour","doi":"10.5455/jcmr.2023.14.03.34","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5455/jcmr.2023.14.03.34","url":null,"abstract":"Background & Aims: Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are among the most common types of injuries that occur during sport activities. Some studies reported that the dominance leg is significant predictor for ACL injuries. However, it is unclear whether the dominant or non-dominant leg impacts functional status and psychological readiness to return to sport after ACL. The purpose of this study was to determine if there are difference in functional performance and psychological readiness to return to sport between individuals who injured their dominant leg and non-dominant leg after 1-10 years following ACL reconstruction. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 50 participants between 20 and 38 years was conducted, to investigate individuals who injured their dominant leg (n=25) and non-dominant leg (n=25) after 1-10 years following ACL reconstruction. All participants complete Anterior Cruciate Ligament Return to Sport after Injury (ACL-RSI), the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) questionnaires and Fear Avoidance Belief Questionnaire physical activity (FABQ-PA). Results: No significant difference was found between the dominant leg and non-dominant leg groups in ACL-RSI, LEFS and FABQ-PA (U = 256, p = 0.27; U = 314.5, p = 0.96, and U=279.5 p=0.52) respectively. Conclusions: While it is essential to investigate the functional performance and patient's psychological state, dominance vs non- dominance leg does not influence these outcomes 1-10 years following ACL reconstruction. Therefore, injuries either dominance or non-dominance leg demonstrate equal long-term improvement. To enhance rehabilitation and optimize long-term functional outcomes for individual undergoing ACL reconstruction, future research should investigate other factors that impact recovery and return-to-sport outcomes.","PeriodicalId":41505,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Complementary Medicine Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75945053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the possible public health problems is an adverse event, which needs ongoing recording, assessment, and surveillance. Drug regulations have improved and got stronger since the 1937 sulphanilamide tragedy and the1960 thalidomide disaster. As such response, a Pharmacovigilance System was developed, which is capable of receiving, diagnosing, evaluating, monitoring, and mitigating harmful effects of medical products. The Central Drug Standard Control Organization-CDSCO regulates India's pharmacovigilance system, whereas the United States Food and Drug Administration-USFDA regulates the US pharmacovigilance system. In India, the pharmacovigilance programme monitors adverse drug responses. India has a Pharmacovigilance Program in place to track adverse drug reactions. The United States likewise has strict laws in place to strengthen Food & Drug Administration (FDA) pharmacovigilance requirements.

This plant is endowed with a great pharmacological importance and known by its resistance to drought. This work begins with an ethnobotanical survey. Its objective is to learn about the use of Ephedra alata in herbal medicine, and then to carry out a phytochemical study (chemical screening). According to the ethnobotanical survey, the pharmacological importance of the plant seems to be ignored by a large part of the population. The chemical screening has shown the presence of various secondary metabolites in the plant’s aerial part, such as alkaloids, polyphenols, tannins, saponosides and terpenes. Therefore, regarding these last results, it is appropriate to confirm to what extent Ephedra alata can be useful, particularly, by its phytotherapeutic participation, namely the harvest period, the used part and the way of use. Finally to avoid the progressive extinction of this species, it is necessary to intensify the actions of knowledge and prevention for the preservation and the reconquest of biodiversity.","PeriodicalId":41505,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Complementary Medicine Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90140837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
