A Review of Herbal Photoprotective Agents: From Traditional Knowledge to Modern Sunscreen Formulations
Abstract: Continuous exposure of skin to UV rays leads to tanning, premature aging, sunburn, pigmentation, and skin cancer. Sunscreens are widely used to protect the skin from these harmful stimuli. However, sunscreen components may interfere with other health concerns like irritation, itching, allergic reactions, and distinct environmental damage. This major concern initiated the introduction of herbal photoprotective agents, which are eco-friendly, safer for use, and rich in antioxidants (preventing free radicals). …

Management of Uterine Sarcomas - Current Concepts and Controversies
Abstract: Uterine sarcomas are a group of relatively rare malignancies with heterologous clinical behavior. Because of its rarity, there is dearth of randomized trials and hence there are no standard recommendations as how to manage these cases. Carcinosarcomas are now a separate entity and is managed similar to high grade endometrial carcinoma, since the sarcomatous element is proven to be of endometrial origin. Now, the major variants are leomyosarcoma (LMS), endometrial …

Structure–Property Relationships in Poly (N isopropylacrylamide) Hydrogels: Toward Thermoresponsive Polymer Composites
Abstract: Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogels can shift from solid to gel and back again at body temperature. Due to their lack structural integrity, thermal stability, and mechanical strength, they are difficult to use. This study mixed PNIPAAm with biocompatible fillers like chitosan and silicon nanoparticles to create hydrogels with superior structure-property correlations. Free radical polymerization with ammonium persulfate/TEMED initiator and N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide crosslinker produced the composites. Scanning electron microscopy showed a denser, interconnected …
