Abstract :
Cassia spectabilis, a member of the Fabaceae family, is a tropical ornamental plant known for its vibrant yellow flowers and a wide range of therapeutic properties. This review highlights the phytochemical composition and pharmacological potential of C. spectabilis extracts. Various studies have identified the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and phenolic compounds that contribute to its biological activities. The plant exhibits multiple pharmacological properties, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and anticancer effects. These activities are attributed to its bioactive constituents that interact with cellular pathways and free radical scavenging mechanisms. Despite extensive preliminary findings, further studies are required to isolate, characterize, and validate the therapeutic potential of its active compounds through advanced pharmacological and clinical evaluations. This review aims to provide comprehensive insight into the phytochemistry and pharmacological importance of Cassia spectabilis, emphasizing its potential as a source of novel bioactive agents in drug discovery.
Keywords: Cassia spectabilis, phytochemical screening, pharmacological activity, antioxidant, medicinal plants, bioactive compounds.

Abstract :
The current study aimed to identify the impact of equipping ambulances with rapid communication mechanisms on the response time for injured individuals in emergency situations. This was achieved by employing a descriptive analytical approach through the distribution of a questionnaire consisting of 500 emergency medical technicians to assess their opinions regarding the equipping of ambulances and rapid communication mechanisms. The study’s results indicated that there was no statistical significance attributed to professional and occupational experiences or the number of years of service concerning the responses of the sample on the questionnaire. The study presented several findings, including that technological advancements have facilitated the provision of higher quality communication means in ambulances, ensuring various solutions for rapid access to victims in emergencies. Furthermore, the implementation of precise location identification technology has enhanced response speed and helped avoid traffic congestion. The study’s results also indicated that the quicker the access to the accident scene, the greater the chances of survival for the injured, and that there is an effect of delayed response on rescue opportunities.
Key words: Technique, technology, response speed, communication methods, rapid access methods.
