Matthew Carter The foxglove is a toxic plant‚ for it is also called digitalis (Foxglove‚ 2005). Digitalis is a genus of about twenty species of herbaceous perennials‚ shrubs‚ and biennials. The genus was originally in the figwort family Scrophulaniaceae‚ but because of recent phylogenetic research it has been placed in the family Plantaginaceae. The best known species of the foxglove is known as the digitalis purpurea. The kingdom of the foxglove is plantae. The order of the foxglove is

Introduction Between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries‚ many people died by cruel and horrible deaths of buring at the stake‚ hanging‚ or being tortured. The estimates of people killed ranged up to the millions which included men‚ women‚ children‚ and even aristocrats as they were accused of witchcraft. Although‚ poor and elderly women were the ones effected the most from multitudes of paranoia and delusions in those centuries. However‚ certain molecules played a role in this discrimination

In this report DNA fingerprinting patterns of two medicinally important plants‚ widely known for their potential therapeutic value viz. Digitalis purpurea L. (Scrophulariaceae) and Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC. (Rutaceae) have been presented. Of the various methods developed for establishing genotype species markers‚ 1.

Given the current symptoms it seems that A.O is suffering from left heart failure. Dyspnea the medical term for difficulty breathing is often an indicator of left heart failure. The clinical manifestations including dyspnea are caused by pulmonary vascular congestion and poor systemic oxygen perfusion (Huether & McCance‚ 2012). Other clinical manifestations physicians find with individuals with left heart failure include‚ coughing up mucus‚ fatigue‚ and a decreased urine output. Physicians will

INTRODUCTION Definition; It is a complex clinical syndrome that can result from any cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to deliver adequate quantities of blood to the metabolizing tissues during normal activity or at rest. Causes 1. Although the disease occurs most commonly among the elderly (80% of patients hospitalized with CHF are > 65 years of age)‚ it may appear at any age as a consequence of underlying cardiovascular disease. 2. There currently is no single
