Phytochemical, Ethnobotanical and Pharmacological Profile of Lagenaria siceraria: - A Review

Abstract

Two different forms of scleroderma in one family are described: the mother suffers from systemic sclerosis and her daughter from linear morphoea. The observed HLA antigens indicate that systemic sclerosis and morphoea have various features in common. The immunogenetic data can be used to calculate the aetiological and preventive fractions, which together with environmental hazards and other risk factors describe the HLA-associated potential for provocation of scleroderma.
