The document discusses the clove plant (Syzygium aromaticum), which is known for its essential oil. It describes the plant's history of cultivation and use. The main active component in clove essential oil is eugenol, which has various pharmacological properties like anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial effects. Several studies are cited showing eugenol can help treat conditions like lung inflammation and inhibit viruses. The clove plant also contains additional compounds like flavonoids, terpenes, and phenolic acids that may have health benefits.
Toxicology is the scientific study of adverse effects that occur in living organisms due to chemicals. It involves observing and reporting symptoms that arise following exposure to toxic substances.
Terminalia avicennioides is an important medicinal plant used to manage many pathological
conditions among most inhabitants of rural communities in Nigeria and many other African countries. It
belongs to family Combretaceae and found commonly growing in the savannah region of West Africa. The
parts of the plant mostly used for medicinal purpose are root and stem barks extracts, which are rich sources
of phytochemicals such as anthraquinone, saponins, steroids, tannins and terpenes among others. In folk
medicine, there are claims that the plant has been used to cure various diseases such as dental caries, skin
infections, sore and ulcer, syphilis, bloody sputum, ringworm infection, gastrointestinal helminthes and several
others. In this review, we have tried to provide bases for most of these claims at the instance of the results of
modern investigations on the biological activities of the plant extract. The possibility of employing the plant
extract in the field of green chemistry for probable application in biomedical industries was also discussed.

Assessment of the Genotoxic and Antioxidant Activities of Several Vegetables,...AMERICA CASTAÑEDA
It has been demonstrated that the juices from several vegetables, spices and herbs protect against certain carcinogens. The antioxidant capacity of several vegetables has been documented. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the genotoxicity of celery, coriander, epazote, parsley and watercress using the Somatic Mutation and Recombination Test (SMART) on the wings of Drosophila melanogaster using Standard (ST) and High Bioactivation (HB) crosses with regular and high levels of metabolizing cytochrome P450 enzymes, respectively. The protective effects of the extracts against 4-Nitroquinoline n-Oxide (4NQO) 4NQO, an oxidant compound, and Cyclophosphamide (CP), an alkylating agent, were evaluated. Both promutagens were employed alone as
positive controls and in combination with the extracts. The majority of the extracts were non-genotoxic, although several positive results were observed. Parsley induced spots at all concentrations assayed in the ST cross and at the lowest concentration in the HB cross. Watercress, coriander and epazote produced some significant results in both crosses. CP in combination with the highest extract concentration exhibited a potentiation-synergistic effect while an inhibition-antagonic effect with 4NQO. In addition, the radical-scavenging activities of the extracts were investigated using the colorimetrical DPPH oxidative assay. The radical scavenging activity order from the highest to the lower was watercress > parsley > coriander > celery > epazote.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Microteaching is a unique model of practice teaching. It is a viable instrument for the. desired change in the teaching behavior or the behavior potential which, in specified types of real. classroom situations, tends to facilitate the achievement of specified types of objectives.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
2. • History
• As early as 200 BCE, envoys from Java to the Han-dynasty court of China brought
cloves that were customarily held in the mouth to perfume the breath during audiences
with the emperor.
• During the late Middle Ages, cloves were used in Europe to preserve, flavour, and
garnish food.
• Clove cultivation was almost entirely confined to Indonesia, and in the early 17th
century the Dutch eradicated cloves on all islands except Amboina and Ternate in order
to create scarcity and sustain high prices. In the latter half of the 18th century the
French smuggled cloves from the East Indies to Indian Ocean islands and the New
World, breaking the Dutch monopoly.
• In the early 21st century, Indonesia was the world’s largest producer of cloves, followed
by Madagascar, Tanzania, and Sri Lanka.

• Eugenol also has anti-inflammatory activity on lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced
acute lung injury. Pretreatment with eugenol inhibited the inflammatory
response and leukocyte recruitment into the lung tissue by the downregulation
of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) expression and NF-κB signaling. In
addition, eugenol also increased the superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT),
glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST), which are
important antioxidative enzymes
• Similarly, Magalhães and colleagues , using an animal model of LPS-induced lung
injury for 6 hours, demonstrated that eugenol significantly reduced neutrophil
infiltration, TNF-α, and the NF-κB-mediated signalizing pathway, decreasing the
• lung inflammation, resulting in an improved lung structure and function, which
suggest an important drug to treat disorders of lung inflammatory diseases

• Macrophage is one of the immune system cells that contribute to the
production of mediators (i.e., proinflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide),
which are important to cellular and vascular events during the installation
and progression of inflammatory process. Thus, studies have demonstrated
that eugenol can modulate the macrophage functions and regulates
negatively the inflammation.

• Yeh and colleagues demonstrated that eugenol inhibits the inducible nitric
• oxide synthase (iNOS) expression from macrophages in response to LPS,
• culminating in the reduction of NO levels. Additionally, eugenol also
• reduced the TNF-α and IL-1β as well as the NF-κB, ERK1/2, and p38 MAPK
signaling pathways
• (The nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway is a key part of
• the immune response. It is essential to inflammatory processes due
• to its importance in the transcription of cytokines, such as tumor necrosis
• factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and nitric

• Silva and colleagues used molecular docking techniques to screen the anti-SARC-CoV-2
efficacies of eugenol, menthol, and carvacrol, major components of EOs, against various
proteins targets of SARC-CoV-2.
• Docking scores revealed that these compounds have binding affinities towards SARC-CoV-2
spike protein, main protease (Mpro), RNA dependent RNA polymerase and human
ACE-2 proteins, respectively
• Eugenol has been shown to have antiviral activities against HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively
(Benencia and Courrèges 2000). Besides, it has anti-inflammatory properties and has been
shown to protect the lungs against lipopolysaccharide- (LPS) induced acute injury.
Treatment with eugenol was also found to inhibit the recruitment of leukocytes into the
lung and downregulated the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α)
(Barboza et al. 2018).

• S. aromaticum is rich in many phytochemicals as follows: sesquiterpenes, monoterpenes,
hydrocarbon, and phenolic compounds.
• Eugenyl acetate, eugenol, and β-caryophyllene are the most significant phytochemicals in
clove oil. Clove flower buds contain up to 18% of essential oil which consists of eugenol,
eugenol acetate and β-cariofilene
• Moreover, clove contains flavonoids namely quercetin and kaempferol and phenolic
acids like ferulic, caffeic, ellagic, and salicylic acids
• Pharmacologically, S. aromaticum has been examined toward various pathogenic parasites
and microorganisms,
including pathogenic bacteria, Plasmodium, Babesia, Theileria parasites, Herpes simplex,
and hepatitis C viruses.

• Several reports documented the analgesic, antioxidant, anticancer, antiseptic, anti-
depressant, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, and
antibacterial activity of eugenol against several pathogenic bacteria
including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis and S. aureus.
• Notably, Gülçin reported the in vitro antioxidant effectiveness of eugenol and
discussed the relationship between structure and activity.
• They showed that eugenol allows the donation of the hydrogen atom and
