Recent Advances in Approach to Diabetic Foot Ulcer
Abstract: Diabetic foot ulcers develop as a complication of diabetes mellitus and represent a disease of significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Healthcare professionals can formulate the management plan for each patient's specific needs and address any underlying risk factors. It requires thorough debridement, wound dressings, offloading, vascular assessment, infection control, glycaemic control, and a multidisciplinary approach for effective management. Along with this, newer agents such as nanomolecules and nano-drug delivery …

Carbon Nanotubes: Revolutionizing Noval Drug Delivery Approach for Alzheimer's Disease
Abstract: The objective of the review was to comprehensively study the application of nanotechnology and investigate the potential of carbon nanotubes in serving as a drug delivery system to improve the condition of Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease, characterized as an irreversible and progressive cerebral disorder, presents clinical manifestations such as dementia, cognitive decline, altered personality, impaired motor function, confusion, and diminished cognitive planning. The neurodegenerative processes inherent in Alzheimer's disease stem …

Anatomization On Controlled Drug Delivery System
Abstract: Modern target-perception technologies have led to the development of successful controlled drug delivery systems. The process of administering a medication so that it is clinically effective in either people or animals is known as drug supply. Several of the earliest controlled-release systems aimed to achieve a delivery profile that would result in a high drug level in the blood for an extended length of time. When using conventional medication delivery …

Hydrogel as a Drug Delivery System
Abstract: Hydrogels are hydrophilic three-dimensional, polymeric networks system. Hydrogel are hydrophilic system and capable of absorbing large amounts of aqueous solvent. It behaves like a semisolid system and generally follow non-Newtonian property. Hydrogel provide easy application, good spreadibility, non-grease, non-staining properly etc. Moreover, hydrogels can be converted to variety of forms apart depending upon the requirement including Newtonian and non-Newtonian slabs, microparticles, nanoparticles, topical gel, films etc. Hydrogels are commonly used …
