Effect of Diabetes Mellitus on Hearing
Abstract: Jordao (1857) was the first to report sensorineural hearing loss in patients with diabetes mellitus. Jannulis and Delijan [1] were the first otologists who carried out hearing tests in diabetics and concluded that these patients suffered from progressive bilateral sensorineural deafness of gradual onset which predominantly affects higher frequencies in elderly subjects. The objective was to identify type of hearing loss, comparison of duration of diabetes and relation of HbA1c …

To Rule Out the Efficacy of Haridradi Drugs in Respiratory Allergic Disorders in the Childrens.
Abstract: Allergic diseases in children have increased significantly in recent years and they are a major cause of morbidity in the children. Although there is a genetic predisposition, exposure to allergens i.e pollens, irritants, infections, diets and inhalant will determine the sensitization. At present, the best approach to the children who are at high risk for the development of allergies is to introduce environmental and dietary control and adopt early measures …

Clone-Specific Drug Delivery Systems: Targeted Approaches and Future Clinical Applications
Abstract: Clone-specific drug delivery systems represent a transformative frontier in personalized medicine, addressing the longstanding challenge of clonal heterogeneity within diseases such as cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune disorders. Traditional drug delivery platforms often fail to discriminate between pathogenic and healthy cells, leading to systemic toxicity and reduced therapeutic efficacy. In contrast, clone-specific systems aim to selectively target and eliminate disease-driving cellular clones based on unique molecular signatures, thereby improving treatment …

Prevention of Breakthrough Varicella and Outbreaks by Two Dose Vaccination
Abstract: Among viral infections, one of the known human herpes viruses, Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) causes latent infection. The VZV causes two distinct diseases, varicella (chickenpox) and after latency shingles (herpes zoster). Although safe and effective vaccine is available, it is not widely used in many geographic areas mainly because of non-inclusion in the routine immunization schedule. Over the years, many countries have reported more than 90% reduction in number of varicella …
