Morphological Peculiarities of the Pelvic Autonomic Nervous System and Their Impact on Clinical Interventions in the Lesser Pelvic Region.

: The aim of the work is to define the morphological peculiarities of the pelvic autonomic nervous system (ANS) and their importance in the clinical and surgical interventions in the lesser pelvis. : Anatomical variations in the formation of the pelvic ANS were observed in 20 cadavers. The study included 17 men (85%), aged 18 to 84, and 3 women, aged 27 to 86.

Natural Taxanes: From Plant Composition to Human Pharmacology and Toxicity.

Biologically active taxanes, present in small- to medium-sized evergreen conifers of various species, are widely used for their antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, but mostly for their antitumour effects used in the treatment of solid tumours of the breast, ovary, lung, bladder, prostate, oesophagus and melanoma. More of the substances found in plant extracts have medical potential. Therefore, at the beginning of this review, we describe the methods of isolation, identification and determination of taxanes in different plant parts.

Ayahuasca as a Decoction Applied to Human: Analytical Methods, Pharmacology and Potential Toxic Effects.

Ahyahuasca is a term commonly used to describe a decoction prepared by cooking the bark or crushed stems of the liana (contains -carbolines) alone or in combination with other plants, most commonly leaves of the shrub (contains N,N-dimethyltryptamine-DMT). More than 100 different plants can serve as sources of β-carbolines and DMT, which are the active alkaloids of this decoction, and therefore it is important to know the most accurate composition of the decoction, especially when studying the pharmacology of this plant. The aim was to summarize the latest sensitive methods used in the analysis of the composition of the beverage itself and the analysis of various biological matrices.
