Effect of Local Application of Phenytoin on Wound Healing in Surgical Wounds: A Scientific Review
Abstract: Surgical wound healing is a dynamic biological process influenced by local tissue response, vascularity, infection control, and systemic patient factors. Delayed wound healing contributes significantly to postoperative morbidity and healthcare costs. Phenytoin, a hydantoin derivative traditionally used as an antiepileptic agent, has demonstrated unexpected wound-healing properties when applied topically. This review critically evaluates experimental and clinical evidence regarding the role of locally applied phenytoin in enhancing wound healing in surgical …

Polymeric Nanoparticles-A review
Abstract: Traditional use of medications is portrayed by helpless biodistribution, restricted adequacy and absence of selectivity. Systems like controlling medication conveyance can conceivably conquer these impediments by shipping medication to the spot of activity. The polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) are set up from biocompatible and biodegradable polymers in size between 1-1000 nm where the medication is disintegrated, ensnared, epitomized or connected to a nanoparticle framework. PNPs are promising vehicles for drug conveyance …
