Dereplications Can Amplify The Extent And Worth Of Traditional Pharmacopeias
As aculturization and globalization continues, there is an urgent need to carefully record and delineate traditional pharmacopeias so that their true worth is understood and protected and any possible benefits related to their commercial development are equitably distributed. In the past most of these endeavors resulted in a list of plants with their associated uses without providing further explanations as to the extent of this knowledge within …
Evolving Concepts Related to Achieving Benefit Sharing for Custodians of Traditional Knowledge
In the context of evolving intellectual property law, definingownership of traditional knowledge can be challenging when claims of origin are conflicting and requires acceptingparameters of how uniqueness is defined and patent law is applied to protect this information. For purposes of this paper, the complexities of evolving benefit sharing for custodians of traditional knowledge are discussed in relationshipto the use of medicinal plants. Param…

Caries prevalences among geochemical regions of Missouri
Our objectives were to determine how the prevalences of caries in elementary school children vary between geochemically defined regions of the state of Missouri and to compare this variation with that found for prehistoric Missouri inhabitants (Hildebolt et al.: Am. J. Phys. Anthropol. 75:1–14, 1988). Caries data on 6,584 school children were used in the study of second and sixth graders drinking optimally and suboptimally fluoridated water. Geoc…
The effect of geochemical factors on prevalences of dental diseases for prehistoric inhabitants of the state of Missouri
In previous epidemiological studies, it has been suggested that geochemical factors besides fluoride may affect the prevalences of dental diseases. Our objective in this study was to determine whether the prevalences of periodontal diseases, coronal caries, and root caries for prehistoric inhabitants vary between geochemical regions of the state of Missouri. Burial sites were located on unique maps that depict geochemical variation among regions …

Neem (Azadirachta indica) cultivated in Haiti
Chewing stick usage in Southern Ghana
Part two: Empirical rationale for teeth cleaning plant selection1
Various types of ethnobotanical surveys have served to identify those plants throughout the world that are important in teeth cleaning. The empirical selection of several cultures has indicated that many of these species are selected because of the good dental hygiene they promote and other medicinal properties they possess. When pharmacological studies have been correlated with these data, many have been shown to possess substances of an antibio…

In the context of evolving intellectual property law, definingownership of traditional knowledge can be challenging when claims of origin are conflicting and requires acceptingparameters of how uniqueness is defined and patent law is applied to protect this information. For purposes of this paper, the complexities of evolving benefit sharing for custodians of traditional knowledge are discussed in relationshipto the use of medicinal plants. Param…
