Abstract

The history of traditional capuchin balsam is the focal point of the second part of the article on the unknown history of pharmacy at the capuchin monastery in Prague-Hradčany. Capuchin balsam, a medicinal speciality, was being manufactured in the monastery from the end of the 18th century till the year 1950. It is a spirit tincture, its prescription originating from the formulation by Oswald Croll. Balsamum Peruvianum, Gummiresina myrrha, Gummiresina olibanum, and Styrax are the main ingredients, besides assorted plants. The balsam was taken as an antiseptic, antiphlogistic, and analgesic. The balsam was a favoured rustic medicine, and it was sold also abroad (Germany, Poland, USA, Ireland, Belgium).

Other medical formulations connected with the name of the capuchin order are also mentioned.Key words: pharmaceutical history capuchins capuchin balsam monastics pharmacies.

The Rapid Emergence of Novel Therapeutics in Advanced Malignant Melanoma. full article pdf download

Title of article - The Rapid Emergence of Novel Therapeutics in Advanced Malignant Melanoma.

Abstract

For decades, no cancer therapy had been shown to improve average survival in metastatic melanoma. Two critical events have occurred, the discovery of melanoma driver mutation subsets and the discovery of immune checkpoint inhibitors, which have allowed for the development of modern, effective therapies. These findings have facilitated a rapid emergence of novel therapeutics for the disease with multiple FDA approvals in the last several years. The drugs vemurafenib, trametinib, and dabrafenib, which inhibit the commonly mutated BRAF pathway, have been approved based on improvements in survival outcomes. Agents that block immune checkpoints on lymphocytes allowing for immune cell activity against melanoma have also been approved based on improved survival outcomes such as ipilimumab and nivolumab. Pembrolizumab, another immune checkpoint inhibitor, has also been approved based on the response rate and duration of response in a phase 1 trial. Further agents and combinations of approved agents are positioned to possibly further increase this tally of approved drugs. This review will discuss recently approved novel agents and select drugs in development in advanced melanoma.

How do benign myoepithelial cells from in situ areas of carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma favor tumor progression? full article pdf download

Title of article - How do benign myoepithelial cells from in situ areas of carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma favor tumor progression?

Abstract

In this brief commentary, we have shown how the benign myoepithelial cells from in situ areas of carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma from salivary gland can favor tumor progression, not only dying by autophagy/senescence phenomena, disrupting the physical barrier, but also providing fuel for tumor progression.

NaCl stress-induced changes in the essential oil quality and abietane diterpene yield and composition in common sage. full article pdf download

Title of article - NaCl stress-induced changes in the essential oil quality and abietane diterpene yield and composition in common sage.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate how increasing NaCl salinity in the medium can affects the essential oils (EOs) composition and phenolic diterpene content and yield in leaves of Salvia officinalis L. The protective role of such compounds against NaCl stress was also argued with regard to some physiological characteristics of the plant (water and ionic relations as well as the leaf gas exchanges).
