In this study, a UV-Vis Spectroscopy-based method was developed for the determination of tin(IV) in epilobium parviflorum tea samples after preconcentration. The preconcentration process was carried out using the liquid-liquid microextraction technique. Before starting the analysis, optimization studies were carried out for the variables likely to affect the experimental results. As a result of the analyzes performed under optimum conditions, the detection limit of our method was calculated as 16.83 μg/L. The percent relative standard deviation value was calculated as 1.25% (n = 8) and linearity was found in the range of 10-1000 μg/L. Recovery experiments were performed on epilobium parviflorum tea samples using the matrix matching method. As a result of the analyzes made on teas belonging to three different brands, recovery results ranging from 92 to 117% were obtained.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of Epilobium parviflorum (EP) as a treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in dogs based on two clinical case reports. Two dogs with BPH were treated for 2 months with EP extract. For both cases, follow-up was performed with B-mode ultrasound on Days 7, 15, 30 and 60 after starting treatment, and measurements of the length, width and height of the prostate were taken to calculate its volume (cm).

In this study, for the first time, Schreb. (E, hoary willowherb) aqueous extract was introduced into edible biopolymer films and its influence on physicochemical properties of the final products were investigated. Potato starch was gelatinized in the herbal tea to obtain thermoplastic starch (TPS) films via the casting method.

Malignant melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer characterised by high metastatic capacity and mortality rate. On the other hand, is known for its medicinal properties, including its anticancer potency. In this context, we aimed to (i) isolate various extracts of , (ii) characterize their phytochemical content, and (iii) determine their cytotoxic potential in an in vitro model of human malignant melanoma.
