Digitalis nervosa is an important medicinal plant species belonging to the family of Scrophulariaceae that has the potential to be used for heart failure. 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) is a key gene in the biosynthesis of cardenolides for making digitalis effective compounds, hence identification of this gene is important for genetic engineering purposes towards increasing the yield of cardiac glycosides. In addition, mRNA-like non-coding RNAs (mlncRNAs), a class of long non coding RNAs, play key roles in various biological processes and may affect cardenolides pathway in digitalis plants.

- The study evaluates the effectiveness of hyoscine in reducing pain, tenderness, and rebound tenderness in appendicitis patients before surgery, being the first of its kind to investigate this effect.
- A total of 70 patients with appendicitis symptoms were assessed before and after administering hyoscine, with results showing significant reductions in pain and tenderness for both men and women.
- The findings suggest that hyoscine is a promising option for alleviating pain and discomfort in patients with appendicitis.
