Amlodipine induced peripheral edema and gingivitis – A case report.
Abstract: Calcium channel a group of drugs used to treat heart disorders are called blockers. These drugs dilate blood vessels and improve blood flow to heart, these works by preventing calcium flow through ion -specific (L- type) calcium channels in the cell membrane. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker in the dihydropyridine class, can cause peripheral edema and drug-induced gingivitis in some patients. In this case, the patient experienced swelling in the …

Mind-Gut Connection: The Psychosomatic Effects of Stress and Emotions on Digestive System
Abstract: Stress, understood as an immediate disruption to bodily equilibrium, triggers an adaptive or allostatic response that impacts gastrointestinal function both in the short and long term. The enteric nervous system communicates in both directions with the brain through parasympathetic and sympathetic pathways, collectively forming what is known as the brain-gut axis. Unani scholars describe stress as a response to the loss of something valuable, such as an opportunity, a desired …

A Systematic Review on Peptic Ulcer Disease and its Pharmacological Treatment
Abstract: A chronic gastrointestinal condition known as Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) is typified by the formation of ulcers or mucosal erosions in the proximal duodenum and stomach. In the pathophysiology of PUD, the equilibrium between defensive processes like mucus and bicarbonate secretion, mucosal blood flow, and prostaglandin production, and aggressive factors such stomach acid secretion, pepsin activity, and Helicobacter pylori infection, is upset. Although stress and food have historically been blamed, …

Bioenhancer to Boost Herbal Drug Efficacy
Abstract: Bioenhancers are natural substances that significantly improve the absorption, bioavailability, and therapeutic efficacy of drugs when co-administered, without showing notable pharmacological activity of their own. In herbal medicine, the concept of bioenhancement has received growing attention as many phytoconstituents exhibit low oral bioavailability due to poor solubility, limited permeability, and extensive first-pass metabolism. The traditional Ayurvedic system first introduced this concept through the discovery of Piperine, the active alkaloid from …

Smart Drug Delivery Using Nanorobots
Abstract: In recent years, the field of micro/nanorobot research has gained popularity. Because it can be used in targeted medication distribution, surgical procedures, disease detection, etc., it has enormous promise in medical therapy. Different from conventional medication delivery, which depends on blood flow to drug delivery to difficult-to-reach locations is made possible by the planned micro/nanorobots' ability to move independently. Micro/nanorobots were powered by either endogenous power (chemical reaction energy) or …

Treatment Approaches in Intracranial Hypertension: A Review
Abstract: Intracranial hypertension is considered, when intracranial pressure (ICP) increases above 20 mmHg for a period of more than 5 min. A persistent rise in ICP produces compression effect over cerebral vasculature and reduces cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP). It results in brain stem compression and herniation, if left untreated. A systematic assessment of clinical status, serial and continuous monitoring of vital parameters and evidence based therapeutic …

Effect of Cyclandelate on Sudden Hearing Loss: Study of Five Cases
Abstract: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is one of the most perplexing and controversial, unsolved mystery. It is an idiopathic hearing loss of sensorineural origin, greater than 30 dB in three contiguous frequencies that occurs in less than three days. Cyclandelate is a peripheral vasodilator and improves blood flow. Pre- and post-treatment (4 weeks) audiological assessment was done. The standardized protocol was Tab. Cyclandelate, Methylcobalamine and Cetrizine. Pre-treatment pure-tone audiometry showed moderate …
