Book excerpt: Garcinia kola (bitter kola), also known as African wonder nut, belongs to the family guttiferae and grows in coastal rainforests in the South-Western and South-Eastern parts of Nigeria. Traditionally, the nuts of bitter kola are chewed as masticatory substance to stimulate the flow of saliva (Leakey, 2011). The kernels of the nuts are widely traded and eaten as a stimulant (leakey, 2001). Bitter kola is also highly valued because of its medicinal benefits (Hertog et al., 2007). The nuts are chewed for aphrodisiac effects or used to cure cough-dysentery or chest cold in herbal medicine (Uko et al 2001).In this present day, new initiatives in pharmaceutical and also livestock industries are seeking to promote the use of alternative materials that combine the effects of nutritional and medicinal properties, simultaneously. This is expected among others benefits to reduce the high cost of production in the livestock industry as a result of the reduction in dual costs of feed and drugs (Leakey, 2011). Further research was made into indigenous fruits trees or plants that possesses both nutritional and medicinal properties. Bitter kola been a plant that possesses both medicinal and nutritive value and every more was emerged, and further investigations based on its current information in relation to its nutritional and medicinal properties has been aggregated (Uko et al, 2001).Garcinia Kola belongs to the species of a tropical flowering plant that produces brown nut like seeds.

Apart from its visible façade, hair also has a functional role. It has an unique structure and complex molecular development. The very nature of hair makes it a suitable marker for the prognosis of disease. Hair can also be used to screen for toxins and changes in the diet. However, there are currently no suitable publications available that describe hair in a rational scientific context. This handbook provides an academic approach to hair in health and disease. Divided into five sections the Handbook of Hair in Health and Disease provides an insight into hair growth and loss, molecular and cellular biology of hair, dietary toxicity and pathological history, diseases and treatments of hair, as well as shampoos and conditioners. Unique features of each chapter in this volume include relevant and useful 'Key facts' which highlight interesting or important findings of the specific subjects and 'Summary points' that will give a clear overview of the subjects treated in each chapter. The Handbook of Hair in Health and Disease will be essential to a variety of users, such as trichologists, doctors and nurses and all those interested or working within the area of hair health.

The Decade of the Brain came into public awareness in 1990 as an initiative of president George W. Bush involving the NIH and NIMH "to enhance public awareness of the benefits to be derived from brain research"(1). In the intervening 20 years since 1999, we have seen significant increases in understanding the myriad of neurological diseases that confront society"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic endocrine disorder of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism characterized by an increase in both fasting and postprandial glucose level and it has been reported to be the major cause of mortality worldwide. There is an alarming projection of 471 million people with the disease by the year 2035. Diabetes is grouped into two forms; type 1, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and type 2, non- insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Type 2 is the major form accounting about 90% of cases worldwide. In type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), postprandial hyperglycemia is important in the development of the disease; Current treatment for Type 2 diabetes remains inadequate so prevention is preferable. The major strategy for the management of Type 2 diabetes is to decrease postprandial hyperglycemia. The α-glucosidase inhibitors, such as acarbose, have been used in the clinic to control blood glucose increase, especially postprandial, in DM2.Herbal medicine is predominantly available for the treatment of diabetes and the main advantages of the use of herbal drugs are effectiveness, safety, and acceptability. The mechanism of action of these medicinal plant of its products involve retarding the absorption of glucose by inhibiting the carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes, such as pancreatic amylase and α-glucosidase and through the inhibition of these enzymes, medicinal plants can effectively control the postprandial rise in blood glucose. Several medicinal plants have a high potential in inhibiting α-amylase enzyme activity.Annona muricata (A. muricata) is a tropical plant species belonging to family Annonaceae and known for its many ethnomedicinal uses. All parts of Annona are used in natural medicine in the tropics. It is considered to be a good source of natural antioxidants for various diseases. Traditionally, the leaves are used for headaches, insomnia, cystitis, liver problems, and diabetes, antitumor, anti-inflammatory. The health benefits of this plant have been attributed to their unique phytochemical composition.There is, however, a paucity of information that demonstrates the comparative α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory properties of different extracts and fractions, of the various parts of the plant (fruit-pulp, leaf, stem-bark and root-bark) with relation to its anti-diabetic activity. Hence, the present study was carried out to investigate the comparative α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory potentials of methanolic, ethyl acetate and dichloromethane extracts of the fruit-pulp, leaf, stem-bark and root-bark of Annona muricata and also to determine the possible modes and mechanisms of inhibition of these enzymes by these extracts. The justification for this research is the severe gastrointestinal side effects such as abdominal pain, flatulence and diarrhea that have been reported in the patients after the use of conventional drugs, so that the identification of natural interventions through the use of plants like Annona muricata, becomes beneficial due to their very minimal or absence of negative side effects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The explosion of information about complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has demanded the attention of health professionals and responsible consumers, in cluding the elderly. Increasingly, medical schools are providing education about CAM. This book brings together for academicians and interested mainstream practitio ners much of the current information on CAM and its role in the health of the elderly. The individual chapters are thoroughly researched and quite readable, even for patients and the lay public concerned with the state of the evidence and art supporting CAM's role in prevention and management of illness and well-being. This book provides edu cators with much necessary information needed to prepare coursework and learning activities. Although definitive data are lacking regarding efficacy and even safety of CAM methodologies, many chapters in this book summarize the existing evidence in a us able way. The topics analyzed range from well-accepted therapies, such as vitamin E for dementia and zinc tablets for the common cold, to far less conventional therapies such as transcendental meditation. The conclusions are often surprising, but well-presented and defended. Even the most highly controversial areas, such as the use of acupuncture to treat low back pain and osteoarthritis of the knee, are thoroughly and fairly re viewed. Finally, the chapters address some of the political issues that challenge CAM. These issues include who should be allowed to practice a CAM discipline whose efficacy is not based on the scientific method, and some of the state-to-state variations in prac tice standards and licensure.

The bitter leaf is mainly employed as an agent in treating schistsomiasis, which is a disease caused by parasitic worms. It is also useful in the treatment of diarrhoea and general physical malaise.Remedies made from bitter leaf are used in treating 25 common ailments in sub- Saharan African, these include common problems such as fever, and different kinds of intestine complaints, as well as parasite-induced diseases like malaria.
