“…This difference in aroma is attributed to the seed oil's lower limonene content and the higher concentration of high-boiling volatile compounds, which were detected in the cone scale EO. Notably, the yield of Abies cephalonica seed EO (18.2%) surpassed those of previously reported Abies concolor seed EO (5.4%) and Abies koreana seed EO (4.9%) [18,24]. It also outperformed the most aromatic material to date:Abies alba seed EO (7.4-14.3%) [25].…”

“…Hydrodistillation was preceded by the additional preparation of the raw materialseeds were husked from cones and ground in a mill. Fir EOs from cone scales and grounded seeds were isolated via hydrodistillation for 4 h in a Clevenger-type glass apparatus [18], as was performed during similar experiments [19]. Hydrodistillations were performed 5 times in parallel.…”

“…The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the EOs, thymol (positive control; Sigma-Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany), and gentamicin sulfate (positive control; solution for injections; Krka, Novo Mesto, Slovenia) against S. aureus and E. coli were evaluated via the serial microdilution method in Mueller-Hinton broth (MHB) (Sigma-Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany). The study was performed according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute recommendations [18][19][20]. In brief, 50 µL of a suitable concentration of EOs/thymol/gentamicin sulfate was added to a microwell plate.…”

“…The below-described experiments are the continuation of the research on EOs hydrodistilled from seeds and cones (cone scales) from different coniferous trees [18,[24][25][26]. Many of these plant materials are unknown, probably due to difficulties during the collection of cones with ripe seeds.…”

Greek fir (Abies cephalonica) seeds and cone scales were used, for the first time, for an analysis of their biologically active volatile compounds. It was observed that the yield of seed essential oil was 18%, which, among plants, is impressive. The seed essential oil was characterized by a distinctive forest scent with a subtle lemon undertone. The determination of the chemical compositions of the hydrodistilled oils isolated from the seeds and cone scales, achieved via chromatographic and spectroscopic methods (MS, NMR), revealed more than 100 compounds, mostly monoterpene hydrocarbons. The above methods allowed for the identification of 99.4% and 98.3% of the total seed and cone scale oil compositions, respectively. Limonene in its enantiomeric levorotatory form (S) constituted over 80% of the essential oil isolated from the Abies cephalonica seeds. This abundance of limonene makes them a potential natural source for obtaining this compound, which has demonstrated various biological properties. The main cone essential oil compounds were α- and β-pinenes as well as limonene. The cytotoxic effects of both essential oils were analyzed using the MTT assay in skin fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and melanoma cell lines, in the range of 0.012–0.2 μL/mL of essential oil. The cone scale essential oil was slightly more cytotoxic and induced a decrease in the cell viability in concentrations of 0.05–0.1 μL/mL, with small differences between the cell lines. The tested essential oils did not have selective effects on the melanoma cells (A375 and C32) when compared with normal cells. Both the seed and cone scale essential oils revealed good antimicrobial effects on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

“…Because of that, the lungs are supplied by the system of collateral arteries from bronchial, subclavian, intercostal and coronary arteries .The increased pressure in the collateral arteries may lead to pulmonary arteries damage, endothelial tissue damage, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. These submucosal collaterals hypertrophy with time and may rupture causing hemoptysis, which is the most common symptom [3][4][5][6][7].…”

Introduction Unilateral absence of pulmonary artery is a rare vascular malformation. Because of this anomaly, the lungs are supplied by the system of collateral arteries. Case outline We present a case of the right pulmonary artery agenesis in a female patient. She was admitted to the hospital because of hemoptysis. A computed tomography scan revealed a congenital malformation-the right lung was smaller in size, the right principal pulmonary artery had not been developed along with aberrant tortuous blood vessels. Conclusion Symptomatic therapy was applied in the case of our patient. There was no need for any surgical treatment. However, in case of massive hemoptysis embolisation or lobectomy/ pneumonectomy will probably be applied.
