Příspěvek upozorňuje na korelace mezi výsledky instrumentálního měření barevnosti a obsahem některých kovů v medech. Dostatečně těsné korelace mohou vést k vývoji postupů pro rychlé stanovení obsahu těchto kovů v medu měřením barevnosti bez nutnosti náročnější úpravy vzorků.
The paper highlights the correlations between the results of instrumental colour measurement and the content of certain metals in kinds of honey. Sufficiently close correlations may lead to the development of procedures for the rapid determination of the content of these metals in honey by colour measurement without the need for more demanding sample preparation.
OBJECTIVES: Mad honey poisoning is a common public health problem that can be seen in many parts of the world. In this study, the symptoms and clinical findings of mad honey poisoning cases and their distribution worldwide were investigated based on current data. METHODS: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases were searched. The demographic characteristics of the cases, clinical findings, amount of consumed honey, duration of hospitalization, and data of the region where mad honey was produced were recorded. RESULTS: 900 cases were identified. The majority of poisoning cases (91.44%) were reported from mad honey produced in Turkey, Nepal (4.67%) came second and Korea (1.56) third. The majority of cases in Turkey were due to honey produced in the Black Sea Region. It was also determined that the mad honey was produced in the west Black Sea Region in most of the cases (35.22%), followed by the east Black Sea Region with a rate of 33.22%. In poisonous cases, it was determined that the mad honey was mostly produced in Rize, followed by Trabzon and Kastamonu, respectively. The most common signs of mad honey poisoning were bradycardia (88.48%) and hypotension (76.04%). CONCLUSION: The majority of cases have been reported from Turkey. When examining where the mad honey was produced in Turkey, it was seen that the western Black Sea Region came first, and the eastern Black Sea Region came second. Rize came first among the provinces, followed by Trabzon and Kastamonu. There is a parallelism between the distribution of mad honey poisoning cases and the distribution areas of Rhododendron species. However, although Rhododendron species show a widespread distribution throughout the world, why the majority of the cases were reported from Turkey draws attention as an issue that needs to be investigated.

OBJECTIVE: Hard-to-heal wounds can be caused by persistent infections or an excess of inflammatory cytokines, proteases and oxidants, and can severely impact the quality of life (QoL) of patients. Due to the paucity of effective treatments and increased resistance to antibiotics, new and improved therapies are required to resolve infections and to simultaneously enhance the healing trajectory. Medical grade honey (MGH) may be a novel and effective treatment approach. METHODS: In this case series, we have described six cases of hard-to-heal wounds, and discussed the effects of MGH on infection, wound healing and factors influencing patient QoL (pain, odour and exudate). In all cases, the wounds had persisted for a long period, and previous treatments had been ineffective. Most of the patients had comorbidities, and the majority of the wounds were contaminated with (multiresistant) bacteria, both of which contributed to non-healing. All wounds were treated with L-Mesitran (MGH-based wound care products, Triticum Exploitatie BV, the Netherlands) either as monotherapy or as a complementary therapy. RESULTS: Hard-to-heal wounds started healing, infection was controlled and QoL was strongly improved (malodour, exudate levels and pain swiftly decreased) after the application of the MGH. All wounds healed relatively quickly, considering the severity of the wounds and general health of the patients. CONCLUSION: In this study, MGH was a useful alternative or complementary therapy to antibiotics and expedited the healing of hard-to-heal wounds.

Příspěvek upozorňuje na korelace mezi výsledky instrumentálního měření barevnosti a obsahem některých biologicky aktivních organických látek (zejména fenolů a flavonoidů) v medu. Dostatečně těsné korelace mohou vést k vývoji postupů pro rychlé stanovení obsahu těchto látek v medu měřením barevnosti bez nutnosti náročnější úpravy vzorků.
This paper highlights the correlations between instrumental measurements of colour and the content of some biologically active organic compounds (especially phenolics and flavonoids) in honey. Sufficiently close correlations may lead to the development of procedures for rapid determination of the content of these substances in honey by colour measurement without the need for more demanding sample preparation.

Příspěvek upozorňuje na vztahy mezi výsledky instrumentálního měření barevnosti a výsledky stanovení antioxidační aktivity medů (zejména metodou DPPH a FRAP). Dostatečně těsné korelace ukazují, že po jejich ověření, doplnění regresní analýzou a kalibrací mohou najít uplatnění při rychlém stanovení antioxidační aktivity medů.
The paper highlights the relationships between the results of instrumental colour measurement and the results of the determination of the antioxidant activity of honey (especially by DPPH and FRAP). The sufficiently close correlations show that once verified, supplemented by regression analysis and calibration, they may find application in the rapid determination of the antioxidant activity of honey.
