Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles of Cissus Quandrangularis and It’s Virtual Screening Against Gastric Cancer
Abstract: Gastric cancer, also known as stomach cancer, is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally and remains a major health challenge due to its poor prognosis and high mortality, largely attributed to late-stage diagnosis. In this context, plant-based nanomaterials are gaining momentum for targeted therapeutic applications. Cissus quadrangularis, a medicinal plant native to India from the Vitaceae family, is traditionally used for its diverse healing properties. Its stem, in …

Vaccines Through Time: Conventional Foundations and Next-Gen Innovations–Part 1
Abstract: Vaccination serves as a critical pillar of global public health, markedly decreasing infection rates and associated mortality. Traditional vaccine platforms such as live attenuated, inactivated, toxoid, and subunit vaccines have demonstrated effectiveness against pathogens like Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Plasmodium spp., yet they are constrained by antigenic variability, limited immune persistence, and complex production processes. Breakthroughs in synthetic biology, structural antigen design, and computational vaccinology have driven the development of advanced …

Evaluation of Mucoadhesive Polymers for Nasal Delivery of Herbal Bioactives
Abstract: A study assessed mucoadhesive polymers for intranasal herbal bioactive administration with higher residence time and mucosal permeability. Chitosan, Carbopol® 934P, and HPMC K15M were utilized to manufacture mucoadhesive nasal gels with standardized herbal bioactive fractions. Formulations were examined for pH, viscosity, spreadability, drug content, mucoadhesive strength, in-vitro release, ex-vivo penetration, and short-term stability. All formulations demonstrated a suitable pH for nasal usage and uniform drug content (97.48 ± 1.12% to …

Gastro Retentive Drug Target System: Its Needs, Advantages, Limitation and Approaches
Abstract: Background: Gastro retentive drug delivery systems (GRDDS) address limitations of oral therapy for drugs with poor solubility, instability at intestinal pH, or narrow absorption windows by prolonging gastric residence and increasing contact with the gastric mucosa. Objectives: To review GRDDS approaches—floating systems, mucoadhesive systems, and super porous hydrogels—with emphasis on formulation strategies and polymer–excipient selection to enhance gastric retention, modulate buoyancy/swelling/adhesion, and ultimately improve oral bioavailability and therapeutic outcomes for …

A Case Study on the Ayurvedic Management of Ulcerative Colitis (Grahani)
Abstract: Ulcerative Colitis is an idiopathic form of acute and chronic ulcero-inflammmatory colitis affecting chiefly the mucosa and submucosa of the rectum and descending colon, though sometimes it may involve the entire large intestine. Symptoms usually develop over time, rather than suddenly. Ulcerative colitis can be debilitating and can sometimes lead to life-threatening complications. While it has no known cure, treatment can greatly reduce signs and symptoms of the disease and …

Granuloma Pediculatum Benignum: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Abstract: Pyogenic granuloma or granuloma pyogenicum represents about 57% of benign non-neoplastic oral lesions. Pyogenic granuloma of the oral cavity is known to most commonly involve gingiva. Extragingivally, it can occur on the lips, tongue, buccal mucosa and palate. The etiology of the lesion is not known, though it was originally believed to be a botryomycotic infection. It is theorized that pyogenic granuloma possibly originates as a response of tissues to …

The Risk of Second Malignant Tumors after Definitive Treatment of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: Three Case Reports and Literature Review
Abstract: Introduction: Patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have an increased incidence of developing second malignant tumors (SMTs). This may possibly be explained by the concept of “field cancerization” or “condemned mucosa syndrome”, implying the importance of other risk factors like smoking, alcohol consumption, genetic factors and viral infections. However, risk factors for SMTs have not been documented well, especially in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Objective: Evaluate the presence …

Reviewing Diagnosis and Management Strategies for Barrett's Esophagus
Abstract: Incidence of distal oesophageal carcinoma is increasing faster than that of any other visceral cancer in the western world. It is commonly known that the most, if not all, of theses tumours arise in the Barrette oesophagus through the metaplasia-dysplasia-carcinoma sequence. Which may allow for early detection; nonetheless, most of these tumours are still discovered much late in their progression. This emphasizes how far of the aim of adequate surveillance …
