A Narrative Review on Osteogenesis Imperfecta and Its Management
Abstract: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), sometimes referred to as brittle bone disease, is a heterogeneous illness characterized by short stature, several fractures, and distorted bones. The main contributing factor to OI is mutations in the genes needed to produce type 1 collagen. While severe OI is perinatally fatal, mild OI can occasionally not be detected until maturity. The frequency of Osteogenesis imperfecta ranges from about 1:15,000 to 1:20,000 births. Five kinds of …

Topical Luliconazole for the Management of Fungal Infections: A Review
Abstract: Luliconazole, an antifungal agent of the imidazole class, possesses a distinctive structure where the imidazole component is fused with the ketene dithioacetate configuration. It exists in its R-enantiomer form, which exhibits greater antifungal efficacy compared to lanoconazole, a compound comprising a racemic blend. Strong action is shown by luliconazole against filamentous fungi, such as dermatophytes. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of dermatophytes, such as Trichophyton rubrum and Microsporum gypseum, help explain why …
