Willows and Deer Rubbings (Volunteer Canyon Background Information) Willows and Deer Rubbings (Volunteer Canyon Background Information) Most male species of deer (reindeer are the exception) grow and shed a pair of antlers each year. Antlers play an important function in attracting mates and fighting other males during the breeding season. Antlers begin to grow in March/April and are shed in December/January. Antlers are among the fastest growing tissue in the animal kingdom - up to one inch per day depending on the age, genetics and quality of nutrition that an individual receives. Antlers (racks) regrow bigger each year until about the age of 7 years. As antlers grow they are covered with a tissue that, because of it’s texture and appearance, is called velvet. Velvet provides the growing antler tissue the blood (oxygen and nutrients) necessary to promote this rapid growth. (Photo from MGP Camera Trap at Griffin & Olive Hyde Trail junction) Just before the mating season in late August/early September, the antlers complete their growth cycle and turn to solid bone. To assist in the removal of this velvet that is no longer needed, deer are known to seek out and rub their antlers against tree trunks and branches. One of the most popular trees selected by deer for this antler rubbing is willow. Many species of willow contain salicin, a chemical similar to aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). Salicin has pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties that are believed to provide deer with some relief from the shedding process of the velvet on their antlers. (Photo from Willow Seep on Olive Hyde Trail) Willow and Deer Page 1 Willows and Deer Rubbings (Volunteer Canyon Background Information) Once the mating season is over, the antlers are shed and the entire process begins again the following spring. Antlers are often hard to find in nature because animals, mostly rodents, consume them to acquire calcium and other nutrients. The use of willow (by people) dates back thousands of years, to the time of Hippocrates (400 BC) when patients were advised to chew on the bark to reduce fever and inflammation. Willow back has been used throughout the centuries in China and Europe, and continues to be used today for treatment of pain. Native Americans chewed or boiled a tea from willow’s leaves or inner bark to relieve fever or other minor pain like toothaches, headaches, or arthritis. Some sources give the willow the nickname “toothache tree”. Aside from medicine, Native Americans developed many applications for willow. These include material to make arrow shafts, paint brushes, fish traps, granary baskets, cradleboards, dream catchers, stick figures and portions of homes. Salicin is a natural insect repellent making willow a good choice for granary baskets. On a side story/interesting fact : North American beavers have a gland (castor sacs) that release a substance called castoreum which is used to mark territory. Salicin is one of the primary substances found in castoreum. Accumulation of salicin in beavers is credited to willow in their diet. Castoreum is an approved FDA substance that is used in perfumes (leathery notes) and as a “natural flavoring” (vanilla substitute) in some food products. How castoreum is harvested is the next question …. ! (photo from article entitled, “Beaver butt used as 'natural flavoring' in your food”) Willow and Deer Page 2 .

  • The Role of Organic Small Molecules in Pain Management
    molecules Review The Role of Organic Small Molecules in Pain Management Sebastián A. Cuesta and Lorena Meneses * Laboratorio de Química Computacional, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Escuela de Ciencias Químicas, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, Av. 12 de Octubre 1076 Apartado, Quito 17-01-2184, Ecuador; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +593-2-2991700 (ext. 1854) Abstract: In this review, a timeline starting at the willow bark and ending in the latest discoveries of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs will be discussed. Furthermore, the chemical features of the different small organic molecules that have been used in pain management will be studied. Then, the mechanism of different types of pain will be assessed, including neuropathic pain, inflammatory pain, and the relationship found between oxidative stress and pain. This will include obtaining insights into the cyclooxygenase action mechanism of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) such as ibuprofen and etoricoxib and the structural difference between the two cyclooxygenase isoforms leading to a selective inhibition, the action mechanism of pregabalin and its use in chronic neuropathic pain, new theories and studies on the analgesic action mechanism of paracetamol and how changes in its structure can lead to better characteristics of this drug, and cannabinoid action mechanism in managing pain through a cannabinoid receptor mechanism. Finally, an overview of the different approaches science is taking to develop more efficient molecules for pain treatment will be presented. Keywords: anti-inflammatory drugs; QSAR; pain management; cyclooxygenase; multitarget drug; Citation: Cuesta, S.A.; Meneses, L. cannabinoid; neuropathic pain The Role of Organic Small Molecules in Pain Management.

    Studia Ceranea 6, 2016, p. 323–353 ISSN: 2084-140X DOI: 10.18778/2084-140X.06.17 e-ISSN: 2449-8378 Maciej Kokoszko (Łódź) Jolanta Dybała (Piotrków Trybunalski) Medical Science of Milk Included in Celsus’ Treatise De medicina ilk has always been a very significant food product in the Mediterranean1 M(but also in other regions of the ancient world2). Thus, it comes as no sur- prise that ancient and Byzantine physicians devoted their research to this subject3. It is commonly believed that fresh milk was quite rare in everyday diet of those times, whereas its derivative – namely cheese – was consumed much more fre- quently. This general production-consumption pattern survived the Antiquity and was equally characteristic of the early Middle Ages4. 1 For the areas initially untouched by the Greek culture, and later by the Roman culture, cf.

This study evaluates the effect of salix extract on primary Salix dysmenorrhea. Mefenamic acid Design: This study was a randomized crossover clinical trial. Complementary therapies Setting: The study population included 96 female students with level two or three of primary dysmenorrhea: 48 Cross-over studies students in the treatment group (sequence I) followed by control (sequence II) and 48 students in control group (sequence I) followed by treatment (sequence II). Interventions: The intervention was salix capsule (400 mg daily) and the active control was mefenamic acid capsule (750 mg daily) as. Main outcomes: Pain intensity, measured by the visual analog scale (VAS), amount of bleeding, and severity of dysmenorrhea symptoms were outcomes.

BOX 2360 HONOLULU, HAWAI`I 96804 Date: 03/11/2020 Time: 09:00 AM Location: 229 Committee: Senate Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health Senate Education Department: Education Person Testifying: Dr. Christina M. Kishimoto, Superintendent of Education Title of Bill: HB 2457, HD2 RELATING TO THE YOUTH VAPING EPIDEMIC. Purpose of Bill: Beginning 1/1/2021: bans the sale of flavored tobacco products; prohibits mislabeling of e-liquid products containing nicotine; and establishes fines and penalties for violations. Requires the Department of Education to establish a safe harbor program by which persons under 21 years of age may dispose of electronic smoking devices in their possession. Requires public school teachers and educators to confiscate electronic smoking devices. Increases fines for the purchase or possession of tobacco products and electronic smoking devices by persons under 21 years of age. Authorizes a court to impose, as a penalty on a person 18-21 years of age who is convicted of possession of a tobacco product or electronic smoking device, the requirement to complete a tobacco education program, complete a tobacco use cessation program, or perform community service instead of paying a fine. Effective 7/1/2050. (HD1) Department's Position: The Department of Education (Department) appreciates the intent and offers comments on HB 2457, HD2. There is a zero-tolerance for tobacco products and electronic smoking devices (ESDs) on the Department’s campuses, transportation, and/or during Department school-sponsored activities. The Department is working in partnership with the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) to educate youth to make positive health decisions.
