Unlabelled: Myrtus, commonly called myrtle, is a genus of flowering plants in the Myrtaceae family. This study aimed to review myrtle's pharmaceutical, food, and other uses. The pharmacological effects of myrtle for antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory activities, reduction of COVID-19 symptoms, anti-diabetic in the animal model, hepatoprotective in the rat model, antihypertensive, control of intestinal helminthiasis in mice model, inhibition of glucosyltransferase activity, protective effect on oxidative metabolism in the hypothyroidism model, and reducing the damage caused by skin burns are reviewed. In addition, the food uses of this plant such as improving the oxidative and microbial stability of products containing salmon, antimicrobial activity in meat and dairy products, flavoring in sea salt, microbial improvement of fresh fruits during post-harvest storage, animal nutrition, and bio-oil production are summarized.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The genus Callistemon (syn. Melaleuca) of the myrtle family (Myrtaceae) has been documented as an integral part in the ethnobotanical system of the indigenous people of Australian mainland and many of its islands. Several Callistemons including the species subulatus were used by aboriginal Australians for making rafts, roofs for shelters, bandages, and food recipes, in addition to the management of wounds, infections, pain, cough, bronchitis, and gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disorders.

Materials And Methods: A total of 197 subjects 50 years of age with International Prostate Symptom Score ≥13, maximum flow rate ≤15 ml/second and prostate volume 30 to 80 cc were randomized and followed for 5 years. From the control arm of 61 subjects, a subset of 53 subjects requalified and after 3 months received treatment as part of the crossover group and were also followed for 5 years.

Ketamine has played a versatile role in medicine due to its wide spectrum of uses in history including use in sedation, catalepsy, somatic analgesia, bronchodilation, and recent trial in complex chronic pain syndromes. There is very little, if any, discussion in the literature of ketamine use in stroke, particularly in improving symptoms of pain after stroke. We present a case of a 40-year-old female with a past medical history of right-sided thalamic ischemic stroke complicated by Central post-stroke pain syndrome (CPSP) presented for refractory severe diffuse pain causing debility and immobility.

The environmental and economic impacts of exotic fungal species on natural and plantation forests have been historically catastrophic. Recorded surveillance and control actions are challenging because they are costly, time-consuming, and hazardous in remote areas. Prolonged periods of testing and observation of site-based tests have limitations in verifying the rapid proliferation of exotic pathogens and deterioration rates in hosts.
