Antibacterial Multi-Herbal Hand Sanitizer Description and Review
Abstract: Many hand sanitizers on the market contain alcohol formulations that can lead to various issues. In response, we have focused on developing alternative hand washing solutions using detergents to address problems such as dermatitis, itching, dryness, and irritation. Our current efforts involve creating a range of hand sanitizers enriched with ingredients like aloe vera gel, Rita, Azadirachta indica, holy basil, reetha fruit, eucalyptus (Nilgiri), rose, and citrus fruits. Additionally, we …

Evaluation of Bio-Based Polymer Composites Containing Guava Leaf Extract for Antimicrobial Functionality
Abstract: This study explores the formulation of an herbal soap using guava leaf extract as a primary ingredient. Guava leaves are a rich source of biopolymers like pectin and cellulose, which may contribute to the binding properties in the soap. The antimicrobial activity of the soap was evaluated against common skin pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Trichoderma spp., Aspergillus spp.). The formulated soap exhibited inhibitory effects against all tested pathogens. The weight, foaming …

Preparation and Characterization of Clay-Based Hybrid Membranes for Antibacterial Biodegradable Polymer Wound Dressings
Abstract: Recent developments in the field of polymer chemistry have resulted into many new forms of Hybrid polymer. This has further revolutionized the application of polymer chemistry in numerous fields. In this research, we manufactured clay-based hybrid membrane by adding clay to the biodegradable matrix of chitosan polymer. It is widely known that microbial and pathogenic organisms are being responsible for wound hampering infections such as impetigo. They can spread in …

Prevalence and Distribution of Staphylococcus Aureus in Clinical Samples Across Age Groups
Abstract: The bacteria that cause everything from ordinary skin infections to serious illnesses is called Staphylococcus aureus. It is now known that Staphylococcus aureus may develop resistance to a variety of drugs. Staphylococcus aureus has been displaying an unusual kind of resistance to antibiotics, especially to those based on β-lactum. As a result, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is the new name for the resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus. The prevalence …

Dermatophytoses: Taxonomy, Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, Resistance, and Management.
Abstract: Dermatophytes, belonging to the family Arthrodermataceae, are keratinophilic fungi responsible for superficial mycoses. Dermatophytoses affect the skin, hair, and nails globally. Over the last few years, dermatophytic infections have seen a sharp rise in India, with the main causative agent being antifungal-resistant Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VIII. This review provides a detailed overview of dermatophytoses, including taxonomy, pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Dermatophytes belong to the kingdom Fungi, family Arthrodermataceae, with …

Demodex spp. (Acari: Demodicidae) Infestation in Humans: Diagnostic Clues and Therapeutic Approaches to Primary and Secondary Demodicosis.
Abstract: Demodicosis represents an inflammatory dermatosis and adnexal disorder arising from pathologic overgrowth of Demodex mites, primarily Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, which are ubiquitous human ectoparasites residing in pilosebaceous units and eyelid margins. Once regarded as benign commensals, these mites are now recognized as primary drivers or key cofactors in diverse clinical phenotypes, including papulopustular eruptions, pityriasis folliculorum, rosacea-like disorders, blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, and exacerbations of comorbid dermatoses such …

Microbes: A General Review
Abstract: The exploration of microbes has been a vibrant field of study for over 250 years. Microbiology, in particular, has made significant strides in recent decades, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment of numerous infectious diseases. Today, infectious diseases continue to pose challenges for human health. To mitigate the risks of various infections, there is a growing emphasis on enhancing the production and utilization of antibiotics, which are synthesized from microbial sources. …

Evaluating Linezolid: A Comprehensive Analysis
Abstract: Treatments for infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant staphylococci and VRE, including skin and soft tissue infections, community-acquired pneumonia, and other infections treated with linezolid, an oxazolidinone antimicrobial agent that functions by specifically inhibiting protein synthesis. Even while antibiotic resistance is becoming more frequent in many nations, linezolid resistance among these pathogens is still low, typically less than 1%. Thus, the emergence of resistance in clinical isolates should …

Management of Kosthasakhashrita Kamala W.S.R. to Hepatocellular Jaundice – A Case Study
Abstract: Kosthasakhāśrit Kamala is a well-recognized clinical entity in Ayurveda and is widely correlated with modern hepatocellular jaundice. The condition arises primarily due to the vitiation of Pitta dosha within the Kostha (gastrointestinal tract), which subsequently spreads to the Sakha (peripheral tissues). Classical texts describe hallmark features such as Haridra Netra (yellowish discoloration of the eyes), yellowish hue of twak and nakha, pitta varṇa of mutra and sakrit (yellow urine and …

Molecular Docking Study: Targeting mycobacterium leprae ML2640 Protein Using Active Compounds from Coscinium fenestratum
Abstract: Objectives: Leprosy is an infectious disease in skin, peripheral nerve and mucosa of upper airway. Around 70% of this infection is caused by Mycobacterium leprae, which was discovered during1873. Multi drug therapy is used for the treatment, still multiple drug resistance and reactions has been reported among patients. Hence, this work focused on identifying bioactive compounds from Coscinium fenestratum that can target mycobacterium leprae ML2640 protein by in-silico approach. Method: …

An Overview of Fanconi Anemia: A Genetic Disorder
Abstract: Fanconi Anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disorder caused by DNA repair defects due to pathogenic variants in one of 21 genes. It is the primary cause of inherited bone marrow failure, marked by pancytopenia. Clinically, Fanconi Anemia (FA) is associated with congenital malformations in multiple systems, resulting in progressive bone marrow failure and heightened cancer risk, especially in the urogenital region and the head and neck. There are approximately …
