Article Abstract
The milky juice of the greater celandine herb has been used in folk medicine and in homeopathy for treatment of viral warts for years. However, classical medicine fails to use properties of celandine herbs in treatment of diseases induced by papilloma viruses. Nevertheless, dermatological outpatient clinics are regularly visited by patients reporting efficacy of milky sap isolated from celandine herb in treatment of their own viral warts. Authors of this report decided to analyze the respective world literature in order to critically evaluate the potential for treatment of viral dermal warts using the milky sap of celandine. Moreover, the case of a 4-year old boy was presented, the parents of whom applied the milky sap of celandine on viral warts on hands. Thus, may be a potential therapeutic modality for skin warts, especially in a young patients, where conventional therapy may be difficult to apply.

Department of Periodontics, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Chennai, India.
Background: Chemical burns of the oral cavity and esophagus are frequently reported in southeast Europe, often resulting from the improper use of pharmaceutical or non-pharmaceutical substances. Calotropis procera (Apple of Sodom, Giant milkweed), a plant known for its toxic latex, has been associated with various dermatological and mucosal injuries. The objective of this case report is to describe a rare instance of gingival chemical burn caused by direct application of C.

(1) Background: Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a well-known metabolic condition associated with an increased risk of acute pancreatitis. In this study, we tried to establish whether there are any significant disparities concerning recurrence rate, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, hospital (ICU and total) length of stay (LoS), morphology, severity and age between HTG-induced acute pancreatitis and any other known cause of pancreatitis (OAP). (2) Methods: The research was a retrospective unicentric cohort study, using information from the Bucharest Acute Pancreatitis Index (BUC-API) registry, a database of 1855 consecutive cases of acute pancreatitis.

Article Synopsis
- Phytophotodermatitis is a skin condition caused by exposure to certain plants with phototoxic chemicals, followed by sunlight, leading to skin irritation and damage.
- A case study of a 55-year-old man showed he developed painful skin lesions after handling figs in the sun, which were diagnosed as phytophotodermatitis through testing.
- Diagnosis involves a thorough patient history and testing to identify plant triggers, and while the condition is usually self-limiting, avoiding the specific plants is recommended for prevention.
Article Synopsis
- The study presents a green method for synthesizing CoO nanostructures using the milky sap of a plant, highlighting benefits like cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness.
- Characterization techniques like XRD and SEM revealed that the CoO nanostructures have a unique morphology and cubic spinel structure, showcasing promising performance in oxygen evolution reactions (OER) and supercapacitor applications.
- The electrochemical properties were enhanced by the sap’s components, yielding a low overpotential for OER and a high specific capacitance for supercapacitors, suggesting its potential for efficient energy conversion and storage materials.

Euphorbia ingens is a ubiquitous plant who has a milky sap. It can accidentally harm human´s eye by its caustic nature, causing conjunctivitis, keratitis, uveitis, anterior staphyloma and corneal scarring in untreated patients. We present the case of a patient whose eye came into contact with the milky sap.
