Biodegradable and Natural Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites for Co-Delivery of Multiple Therapeutic Agents
Abstract: The co-delivery of multiple drugs using advanced nanocarriers has revolutionized targeted therapy in various diseases, particularly in cancer, infectious diseases, and neurological disorders. Multi-layered polymeric nanocarriers (MLPNs) offer a sophisticated platform to encapsulate multiple therapeutic agents with precise control over drug release, bioavailability, and synergistic effects. These nanocarriers are designed with distinct polymer layers that enable sequential or simultaneous drug release based on stimuli-responsive mechanisms such as pH, temperature, and …

Antibiofilm Activity of Thermal Evaporated Tin Oxide Thin Film
Abstract: Biofilm is the deposition of microorganisms and their products on a solid surface submerged in water, which is prevalent problem, responsible for the degradation of the surface over the time. Elimination of microorganisms from submerged solid surface is enormously important process to reduce degradation of that surface. Recently, Tin Oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles have attracted the attention of researchers for its antibacterial property due to hydrophobic and non-toxic nature. Thin films …

Antidiabetic Activity of Triazole Derivatives: A Review
Abstract: Triazoles are the most commonly synthesized nitrogen containing hetero cyclic compounds which have a numerous biological activity viz. antifungal, antimicrobial, anthelmintic, anticancer, anti-tubercular and antiviral activities. They are 5-membered hetero ring structure containing nitrogen as heteroatom at 3 positions. Over a decade, studies are being focused on the anti-diabetic activity of 1,2,3-triazole and 1,2,4-triazole derivatives. Diabetes mellitus is a disorder in which the body doesn't produce enough insulin or does …

Isolation and Characterization of Lantibiotic Producing Lactic Acid Bacteria from Ambali, Aged Mango Pickle Probiotics
Abstract: Each year in the US at least 2 million people are sickened with antibiotic resistant infection. The development of antibiotics was one of the most important advances of medicine. Many bacterial infections (e.g. tuberculosis and infected wounds) that previously had no effective treatment and often killed people became treatable with antibiotics, saving millions of lives. Now, because of the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, bacterial infections that were once easily …

The Study On Sphaeranthus Indicus
Abstract: The increasing usage of plant-based medications is mostly due to their lower costs, greater efficacy, and little or nonexistent adverse effects as compared to contemporary medications. To support the claims made about medicinal plants in traditional medicine systems, a great deal of research is being done on them. The Asteraceae family includes the aromatic herb Sphaeranthus indicus. It thrives as a weed in paddy fields and is found throughout India's …

A Comparative Analytical Study on Gandhaka Ointment Prepared by Two Different Oleaginous Bases – As a Thesis Article
Abstract: Gandhaka (purified sulphur) is broadly used in Ayurvedic dermatological preparations, particularly in Malahara Kalpana (ointment formulations), due to its well-known antimicrobial and skin-healing properties. Although classical Ayurvedic texts, such as Rasa Shastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana, do not directly mention Gandhaka ointment, Rasatarangini by Acharya Sadanand Sharma describes four discrete methods for preparing Gandhaka Taila (sulphur-infused oil). In this study, the third method was selected to prepare Gandhaka Taila using two …

Antibacterial Action of Bacillus coagulans Against Diverse Pathogens and its Relevance as Probiotics
Abstract: Probiotics are living organisms that give benefits to the host organism by improving the intestinal microbial balance. Probiotics have various beneficial effects as it maintains a healthy gut, healthy vaginal flora and boost the immune system. There are different strains of lactic acid bacteria that are used as probiotics but Bacillus coagulans is a good bacterium that is used in the form of probiotic supplements. In the present study, B. …

Polymer Chemistry in Shoulder Orthotics
Abstract: The design of effective shoulder orthotic devices has increasingly made use of polymeric materials because of their versatility, durability, and biocompatibility. This review illustrates polymer chemistry role in constructing an orthotic device for shoulder subluxation, which is a commonly occurring post stroke or injury condition. Proprietary design elements such as polypropylene are rigid yet moldable which help in anatomical formulating for joint stabilization. On the other hand, rubber elastomers, medicinal …
