Summer Savory: From the Selection of Traditional Applications to the Novel Effect in Relief, Prevention, and Treatment of a Number of Serious Illnesses such as Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, and Cancer

ABSTRACTSavory (Satureja L.) plant species have been used for centuries as culinary herbs and spices, as well as traditional remedies for the treatment or relief of various common health symptoms in many parts of the world. Recent studies suggest that the use of some Satureja species is effective in protecting the body against oxidative stress, free radical damage, inflammation, microbial infections, etc., A review of many studies suggests that savory species, in addition to treating minor ordinary ailments, can potentially provide a novel natural prevention or treatment for some chronic and serious illnesses such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and Alzheimer’s

Towards more accurate iris recognition system by using hybrid approach for feature extraction along with classifier

Iris recognition become one of the most accurate and reliable steadfast human biometric recognition system of the decad. This paper presents an accurate framework for iris recognition system using hybrid algorithm in preprocess and feature extraction section. The proposed model for iris recognition with significant feature extraction was divided into three main levels. First level is having pre-processing steps which are necessary for the desired tasks. Our model deploys on three types of datasets such as UBIRIS, CASIA, and MMU and gets optimal results for performing activity. At last, perform matching process with decision based classifier for iris recognition with acceptance or rejection rates. Experimental based results provide for analysis according to the false receipt rate and false refusal amount. In the third level, the error rate will be checked along with some statistical measures for final optimal results. Constructed on the outcome the planned method provided the most efficient effect as compared to the rest of the approach

Turmeric (Curcuma longa): from a variety of traditional medicinal applications to its novel roles as active antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetes

ABSTRACT. Curcumin longa, which is commonly known as Turmeric, is an herbaceous perennial plant from the Curcuma genus that prospers in mainly Eastern Asia. Through a series of forms including powder and extract, the plant has been traditionally used to assist in inflammation and wound healing. Turmeric has been shown to alleviate the pain of inflammation in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, overall promoting the immune system response of acute inflammation for its therapeutic abilities and alleviating chronic inflammation. Not only has it been shown to assist in inflammation, but Turmeric has been shown to assist in preventing and battling cancer through its cytotoxic activities while boosting apoptosis to control the growth and distribution of cells. Along with these abilities, this plant assists with the pain and inflammation involved with diabetes. Turmeric is able to do this because of it being largely composed of a substance called Curcumin, a mixture of Turmeric oil and resin

Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia L.): From a variety of traditional medicinal applications to its novel roles as active antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic and analgesic agent

Elaeagnus angustifolia L., which is commonly known as oleaster or Russian olive, is a deciduous plant from Elaeagnacea family. This plant can tolerate and survive a wide variety of environmental conditions. Different parts of E. angustifolia plant, especially the fruits and flowers, have been used traditionally in treating a variety of common illnesses such as nausea, cough, asthma, fever, jaundice, and diarrhea. The use of fruit powder and extract of E. angustifolia L. have shown to be effective in alleviating pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and also in reducing the healing time of wounds in injured person. In addition, some recent reports have indicated the anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer and some other properties of oleaster plant. The other important property of this plant would be its role in bio-monitoring the environment for some toxic elements and also its action as a bio-fertilizer agent in distressed lands. It seems that with more advanced studies on E. angustifolia L. and its bioactive components, this plant might be potentially effective and can be used as a natural alternative resource in pharmaceutical industries for treating chronic and serious problems, Fig. 1
