Drug and Non-drug Treatment Options of Fibromyalgia
Abstract: Fibromyalgia (FM) treatment does not have a clear objective pathophysiological therapeutic goal. The management of this complex condition has thus perplexed the medical community for many years, and several national and international guidelines have aimed to address this complexity. Pain relieving pharmaceutical medications are generally connected with an assortment of unfriendly reactions, for example, constipation, urinary retention, nausea, sedation, respiratory depression, myoclonus, delirium, sexual dysfunction, and hyperalgesia. The challenge of …

Effects of Smoking on Respiratory System
Abstract: Smoking is whispered to exacerbate respiratory diseases by harming respiratory defense mechanisms. Specifically, smoking damages mucociliary function, which impairs clearance of inhaled substances even in smokers who have no respiratory symptoms promotes bacterial adherence to airway epithelial cells. The devastating health impact of cigarette smoking is well known, Cigarette and its components produce structural changes in the respiratory tract include peri-bronchiolar inflammation and fibrosis, augmented mucosal permeability, destruction of the …

Role of Polymeric Composites in Controlled Drug Release Systems
Abstract: In the realm of controlled drug release systems, polymeric composites have attracted a lot of interest as they possess several diverse characteristics that enable exact control of the drug delivery rate. This lowers adverse effects and increases the efficacy of treatment. Usually composed of biocompatible polymers combined with functional fillers like nanoparticles, ceramics, or hydrogels, these composites help to get the desired drug release patterns. Stable, biodegradable, and bioactive materials …

pH-Responsive Smart Polymer Nanocomposites for Anti-Corrosive Coatings
Abstract: Metallic corrosion under adverse marine and industrial conditions imposes gigantic financial burdens and risks worldwide. Conventional waterproofing waterborne epoxy has passive barrier protection, but is also inherently microporous, lacking intrinsic repair ability against mechanical damage and thus rapidly decays. This is a critical gap that this work tries to bridge by designing a new pH-responsive hybrid polymer nanocomposite by using polyethyleneimine-tannic acid-cerium functionalized boron nitrate nanosheets with chitosan-capped mesoporous silica …
