Article Synopsis
- Acute and chronic anal fissures are common health issues that lead to significant discomfort and frequent doctor visits; therefore, evidence-based treatment guidelines are crucial.
- A Delphi consensus method was used to review existing literature and create a set of statements regarding the treatment options for anal fissures, finalized by January 2023.
- The guidelines emphasize that both men and women are equally affected, conservative treatments should be tried first, and surgical options like lateral internal sphincterotomy and fissurectomy can be considered if conservative methods fail.
Efficacy and residual effect of Illicium verum (star anise) and Pelargonium graveolens (rose geranium) essential oil on cat fleas Ctenocephalides felis felis.

December 2021
The essential oils (EOs) of Illicium verum and Pelargonium graveolens were evaluated for lethality, inhibition of development and residual efficacy against the flea Ctenocephalides felis felis. Their chemical composition was characterized by means of gas chromatography with a flame ionization and mass spectrometry detection. Mortality at different immature stages and among adult fleas was measured through in vitro filter paper tests at different concentrations of EOs.
