Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Studies in the Area of CDC and FDA Reported from University of Malaya (Phytochemical Diversity and Therapeutic Potential of the boesenbergia Genus: a Comprehensive Review)
2024 DEC 03 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at CDC & FDA Daily -- Investigators publish new report on CDC and FDA.
Article Description
Boesenbergia is a genus in the ginger family comprising approximately 97 species, primarily found in tropical Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. These plants are known for their large, fleshy rhizomes, which are widely used in traditional medicine to treat ailments such as gastrointestinal disorders, inflammation, and respiratory infections. Despite the genus's diversity, only a few species, notably B. pandurata and its synonym B. rotunda, have been extensively studied. These species are rich in bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, chalcones, and diterpenes, and have shown significant bioactivities such as anticancer, anti-HIV-1, anti-dengue, and anti-SARS-CoV-2 effects. However, there are still significant gaps in understanding the full therapeutic potential of Boesenbergia species. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the chemical constituents and biological activities of Boesenbergia species, highlighting their potential therapeutic applications, significance in traditional medicine, and ethnomedicinal value. Further research is essential to fully explore and harness the medicinal potential of this genus.
