Nanostructured Lipid Carriers as a Potential Topical Drug Delivery Approach
Abstract: Topical drug delivery is a remarkable approach to treat skin diseases and to avoid pain and low patient compliance in cases where a systemic delivery is required. However, the stratum corneum, which is the outermost skin layer, strongly protects the body from the entrance of substances, especially those hydrophilic in nature. For topical application of drugs generally application on skin is one of method of administration. But problem observed that …

Segmentation and Classification of Hand Gestures for Indian Sign Language with YCbCr and HSV Color Models with Dissimilar Signers Under Different Lighting Conditions using AlexNet
Abstract: Indian Sign Language (ISL) Recognition System can be implemented by considering the signs as hand gestures and developing a hand gesture recognition system. The impact of illumination changes on the performance of segmentation and classification where different lighting conditions such as normal, bright, dim, and artificial light under different color spaces like RGB, HSV and YCbCr are studied, and performance parameters are analyzed. It is observed that YCbCr color space …

Model Implementation & analysis in Face Recognition and Attendance System
Abstract: Face detection involves separating image windows into two; one containing faces (turning the background (clutter). It is difficult because although commonalities exist between faces, they can vary considerably in terms of age, skin color and facial expression. The problem is further complicated by differing lighting conditions, image qualities and geometries, as well as the possibility of partial occlusion and disguise. An ideal face detector would therefore be able to detect …

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 …

"Onychomycosis in the Indian Subcontinent: Clinical, Microbiological and Therapeutic Perspectives,”
Abstract: Onychomycosis is a chronic fungal infection of the nail unit involving the plate, bed, and matrix, accounting for a substantial proportion of nail disorders encountered in dermatology practice worldwide. In South Asia—particularly India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal—the burden is amplified by a convergence of climatic, socioeconomic, and healthcare-related factors. Hot and humid environmental conditions, widespread dermatophytosis, occlusive footwear practices, chronic wet work, and limited access to specialized mycological diagnostics contribute …
