Phytotherapeutic and naturopathic adjuvant therapies in otorhinolaryngology

Phytotherapeutic pharmaceuticals and herbal medicinal products with its roots in classical phytotherapeutic medicine have a well-established role in otolaryngological therapy, especially for diseases of the upper airways and acute and chronic infections. A thorough selection and application could mean huge benefit for the patient, in particular in cases with contraindications, chemo- and antibiotic resistance or patient request. Besides, it might spare other medications. Phytotherapeutic pharmaceuticals must fulfil the same criteria of quality, effectiveness and harmlessness of evidence-based medicine like chemical pharmaceuticals, although they are often prescribed due to its well established or traditional based use. This review focuses on phytotherapeutic therapies well established within the European Community for otolaryngologic disease patterns by referring to clinical studies or meta-analysis

Kinetically stable and highly ordered two-dimensional CN₂ crystal structures

We present three dynamically and thermally stable polymorphs of CN2, which we identify through a systematic, multistep, and comprehensive structure search. They consist of nitrogen-rich structural motifs and modestly large pores. Kinetic stability is examined through long-term molecular dynamical simulations at an elevated temperature, where the interatomic interactions are treated using a new machine learning potential. Using density functional theory, we demonstrate their structural and electronic properties and compare them to polymorphs already available in the literature. The proposed structures are considerably more thermodynamically stable than their counterparts while desirably exhibiting energy levels suitable for photocatalytic water splitting. Also, calculations of enthalpy up to a modest value of external pressure show that the predicted polymorphs are thermodynamically more favorable than the previously proposed structures for high-pressure CN2
