Nanotechnology is going to revolutionize the world. According to the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), nanotechnology refers to the study of all particles in the range of 100 nanometers or less. One of the most important advantages of the smaller particle size is the ratio of surface atoms or molecules to the total number increases. That means they have large surface areas that lead to increase in surface activity and produce changes in their physical properties and biological properties. In the pharma-world, the applications of nanotechnology mean drugs containing nano-sized active ingredients. They are well used to cure HIV, Cancer and other harmful diseases; they can restore lost tissue at the cellular level, useful for monitoring, diagnosing and fighting sickness. The smaller drug delivery systems permit the deposition of medications in previously inaccessible areas of the body; it also has great importance in the treatment and diagnosis of certain diseases like cancer. A recent discovery in the field of drug delivery is target therapy, which improves the diagnostic tests and...

The contemporary development in the drug delivery system is a seamless process. Any delivery system targeting a molecule to a particular site is always been appreciated. This requirement can be fulfilled through a specialized drug delivery system that can easily target the drug at the site of action without compromising its efficacy and quality. Few new drugs typically cannot be effectually delivered by conventional dosage form. Hence, benefits from targeted, localized delivery of therapeutic agents are other driving forces for the current scenario. Nanosponge technology has been introduced to assist the release of drug in a controlled manner over time to reduce systemic toxicity and severe reactions. Nanosponges are tiny sponges with a size of about a virus (250 nm-1 μm), which consist of cavities that can be filled with a wide variety of hydrophilic as well as hydrophobic drugs, which can be further incorporated into a pharmaceutical dosage form such as oral, parenteral, topical or inhalation. The sighting of nanosponge has become a noteworthy step in overcoming certain...

Plants have great potential for the treatment and management of many diseases and have been used in many countries for the treatment of different diseased conditions. The medicinal value of plants lies in their bioactive phytochemical constituents that produce definite physiological actions in living beings. Many medicinal plants contain some chemical constituents that may cause harmful effects to humans if consumed in large quantities. Alkaloids occurring in large amounts could make plants poisonous despite its medicinal effects. Datura metel L., a member of the family Solanaceae, is known as Jimson weed and in Arabic known as “Jaozmasel”, is one of the well-known folk medicinal herbs with wide application, Chemical investigation of which revealed its components as alkaloids, carbohydrates, and proteins among which alkaloids including scopolamine, hyoscyamine and atropine are the main active ingredients that exhibits various activities, such as anti-asthmatic, sedative, analgesic and anti-rheumatoidal effects. Besides of medicinal usage, D. metel is one of the most abused plants all over the world because of its unrestricted availability, especially in...

Cancer is a genetic disorder that results from genetic or epigenetic alterations in the somatic cells and has abnormal cell growth which may be spread to other body parts. In 2018, 18 million cancer was recorded globally in which 9.5 million cancer cases in men, 8.5 million cases in women, and 9.6 deaths were also recorded in the same year. The most spreading cancer globally is prostate, breast, lung stomach, colorectal cancer, non-melanoma skin malignancies but there are 100 types of cancers that affect humans. The impact of cancer is increasing significantly day by day. Tobacco is 22% responsible for causing cancer, 15% cancer is caused due some infections like HIV, hepatitis b, Epstein-Barretc, and 10% is due to poor diet, obesity, excessive consumption of alcohol, exposure to ionizing radiation, etc. In this review article, we try to shed a light on various cancer-causing factors, type of cancer, how the cancer starts, sign or symptom of cancer, diagnosing tests, the treatments of cancer and problems related to cancer treatments....

Health may be defined as the capability to adapt and manage physical, mental, and social concerns throughout life. Oral health is a key indicator of overall health, wellbeing, and quality of life. WHO defines oral health as “a state of being free from chronic mouth and facial pain, oral and throat cancer, oral infection and sores, periodontal (gum) disease, tooth decay, tooth loss and other diseases and disorders that limit an individual’s capacity in biting, chewing, smiling, speaking and psychosocial wellbeing. Oral diseases are the most frequent non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and affecting humans lifelong, resulting in pain, malaise, malformation, and till death. Environmental pollution is now recognized as a global threat, and the actions of mankind are largely accountable for this. Various oral diseases like dental caries, fluorosis are influenced by the food and water quality in a particular topographic area. Chemicals in water can be both naturally occurring or introduced by human interference and can have a huge impact on teeth and oral mucosa. High concentrations of arsenic...
