“…In traditional medicine, it is used as a fungicide for the treatment of wounds and stomach ulcers, also, as digestive and anti-spasm agent (Baser et al, 1998;Cakilcioglu and Turkoglu, 2010;Degirmencioglu et al, 2005;Gurbuz et al, 2010;Ozdemir et al, 2007). In addition, the seeds and the roots of this taxon have been effectively applied in the treatment of epilepsy (Eadie, 2004). Previous studies on chemical analyses of F. macedonica and E. sibthorpiana showed that they possess various secondary metabolites.…”

This study was conducted to analyse extracts and essential oils of Ferulago macedonica and Echinophora sibthorpiana (Apiaceae) for anti-quorum sensing potential using Pseudomonas aerugonisa PAO1 as biomonitoring system. Anti-quorum sensing screening was carried out by tree different tests which showed that examined samples possessed significant effects in suppressing of some virulent determinants of PAO1. The essential oils of F. macedonica and E. sibthorpiana aerial parts reduced the growth and modified the appearance of P. aeruginosa colonies and flagella to a large extent in twitching and motility assay. In the presence of essential oil of E. sibthorpiana, diameter of the colony was 6.67 mm, the flagella were absent and the color of the colony was changed from green to white. In anti-biofilm assay, the inhibitory activity of E. sibthorpiana was more notable than of F. macedonica. Applied colorimetric test revealed that examined samples strongly reduced the production of pigment pyocyanin where the highest inhibition of its synthesis showed F. macedonica oil (5.22%), followed by E. sibthorpiana oil (10.69%), which was singnificantly higher potential in comparison to used antibiotics (84.27% and 97.59% for streptomycin and ampicillin, respectively).

and her behaviors worsened, we were finally given a diagnosis: Alzheimer's disease. I did not know at the time the extent to which her diagnosis would impact me, the rest of my childhood, and how I learned to understand caregiving. From the onset of the disease to the final days, I watched as my mother took care of my grandmother day in and day out. My mother would work all day at her job, come home and make dinner for me, and then spend the rest of her evening taking care of my grandmother. Alzheimer's is not a disease that simply impacts the person, but the persons' family, friends, and communities but most importantly, it is the caregiver that is often impacted the most. These early experiences taught me that the caregiving journey could be difficult and arduous, so I want to acknowledge the work of caregivers for persons with Alzheimer's disease. In particular, I would like to say thank you to three caregivers that have taught me so much along the way-Margie, Zelda, and Doris. I would also like to thank my committee. Each of you has given me the support that I needed along the way. Annatjie, you are the MENTOR. I am not sure I would have made it without your help and encouragement. You are so brilliant and amazing, and I am v so thankful for all the guidance you have given me through this journey. Joseph, words cannot express how grateful I am for you! Thank you for encouraging me each step of the way. You are amazing! Pamela, your friendship and guidance is so helpful to me. Laughing (and sometimes crying) in the kitchen while eating too much fruit has saved me on many a day when I doubted my abilities to finish this dissertation. Terry, thank you for always checking in with me about my progress. Your feedback was so valuable to me. Dr. Jicha, when I first started to do research focused on Alzheimer's disease, it was your name that I kept seeing in the literature over and over again. You have done so much to advance this field of research, and I am so thankful that you said yes to being part of my committee. To my Institute for Sustainable Health & Optimal Aging family, your support while I was working on my dissertation was invaluable. Thanks for always cheering me on along the way. To my family and my friends, thanks for being my support system! Finally, to Bryce for all of his love and support. I would not have started this journey without your unwavering support. Thanks for buying the ticket and taking the ride.
