Systemic and topical use of herbal drugs vary by plant organ and chemosensory properties in De Materia Medica
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Botanical drugs can be used for internal and external applications while some are only applied for either. Aspects such as effectiveness, toxicity organoleptic properties such as shape, texture, colour, taste and smell can theoretically affect exclusive modes of application. AIM OF THE STUDY: Ethnomedicinal field studies often quantify plant organs mentioned for therapy and give stereotype explanations for their fr…
Food drugs as drivers of therapeutic knowledge and the role of chemosensory qualities
Therapeutics used for ailments of body organs involved in the digestion of food and the excretion of waste products showed a tendency to be sourced from food drugs. Arguably, the daily consumption of food offered the possibility for observing post-prandial physiologic and pharmacologic effects which led to a high therapeutic versatility of food drugs and the possibility to understand benefits of taste and flavour qualities. The difference in chem…
The relationship among the age at menarche, anthropometric characteristics, and socio‐economic factors in Bengali girls from Kolkata, India
OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to measure the causal effect of selected socio-economic factors and anthropometrical characteristics on the menarche occurrence. METHODS: The sample consisted of 2195 Bengali girls (aged 7-21) from middle-class families, from Kolkata city, India. The age at menarche was recorded from the retrospective data and status quo method. The causal effect of anthropometric and socio-economic variables on menarche occur…

Nutritional status of Ugandan school‐children
OBJECTIVES: To analyze the nutritional status of Ugandan school-children in a cross-sectional and longitudinal perspective, considering the effect of age imprecision. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Anthropometric measurements of 831 school-children (381 males and 450 females) were analyzed. A subsample of 246 children was measured in July 2014 and 2015. Stunting (based on height-for-age Z-scores), underweight (weight-for-age), and thinness (body mass ind…

Birth registration and child undernutrition in sub-Saharan Africa
Objective In many countries of the world millions of people are not registered at birth. However, in order to assess children’s nutritional status it is necessary to have an exact knowledge of their age. In the present paper we discuss the effects of insufficient or imprecise age data on estimates of undernutrition prevalence. Design Birth registration rates and levels of stunting, underweight and wasting were retrieved from Multiple Indicator Cl…

The causal dependence of present plant knowledge on herbals-Contemporary medicinal plant use in Campania (Italy) compared to Matthioli (1568)
Sex differences in skinfold variability across human populations and during the life cycle
Skinfold dispersion dimorphism seems to exist throughout most of the life cycle, and be widespread in European and non-European human populations. It involves especially accumulation sites of the gynoid pattern known to be relevant in female reproduction. More 'standardized' fatty reserves in women might represent a selective advantage. On the other hand, skinfold dispersion dimorphism might also be related to cultural factors affecting the exten…
