When a high amplitude nanosecond electric field applied to a biological cell it disrupts the equilibrium of the phospholipid bilayer resulting in the permeability of the cell membrane to increase. This results in movement of extracellular material into the cell which otherwise cannot move inside the cell. This phenomenon is known as electroporation. In the initial years of research people concentrated on to find out the process which leads to the above phenomenon, but till now it is not proved theoretically / mathematically the complete theoretical background about the process. In recent years with the help of new fundamental knowledge and the latest experimental electroporation researchers can shift the technologies based on electroporation for clinical validations. In this paper, we have discussed regarding the theories of electroporation and also regarding the usages of electroporation in medical technologies. We have also discussed the challenges to be faced and the research barriers to make this technology on the...

Hydrotherapy or hydropathy is nothing but external or internal use of any form of water (i.e., water, ice, steam) for health promotion or treatment of various diseases with varying temperatures, pressure, duration, and site of application. It is one of the well known naturopathic treatments used widely in ancient cultures including India, Egypt, China, and other Asian countries. Many studies were conducted to understand the physiological and therapeutic effects of hydrotherapy on different organs, but the effect of hydrotherapy was not explored in many organs till. The main objective of this review is to report the scientific evidence-based effects of hydrotherapy on various physiological systems which are not reported yet. The review was conducted and found that hydropathy has therapeutic value and capacity to improve various physiological functions in some diseases and disorders. Diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis required a long period of treatment to cure by using allopathic medicine, whereas using hydrotherapy can reduce the duration of treatment. Moreover, if the combination of both medication...

Psoriasis a kind of skin condition which is said to be a type of autoimmune disease making the epidermal layer of skin to deteriorate and cause severe itching, form plaques, red scaling, papules. It can be due to the genetic predisposition as the affected genes get involved in the control of the immune system. Psoriasis generally doesn’t have a specific site, it occurs anywhere on the body including the scalp which results in the formation of plaques that causes excess scales, and its severity may result in loss of scalp hair. Scalp psoriasis tough to treat as the hair acts as a barrier for the application of topical medicines. In this article, we discuss the clinical characteristics, differential diagnosis, effects on quality of life, and the appropriate therapeutic approach for controlling scalp psoriasis. Since, the disease relevance is high and could lead to severe consequence, there is a need for the development of effective...

Background: In research, the analyst gets samples for separation ranging from a simple mixture of two or more synthetic drugs to complex ones obtained from biological, environmental or industrial processes. Chromatography has extensively used in such separations where component separation based upon their affinity towards stationary phase and mobile phase. 90% of the stationary phases available use silica gel either in its original form or with advanced surface properties. Objective: To furnish the reader with detailed information on silica gel, the functional moiety in chromatography, from its synthesis, properties, types, modification of surface characteristics and applications. We aim to focus on novel silica materials evolved recently and getting attention due to their...

Nature gives numbers of drugs and possibly has all solutions for human diseases. Till date, nature provides a large number of clinically useful drugs. Ulcer and liver diseases are major increasing health problems. Now a day number of drugs are used for the treatment of peptic ulcer and hepatic diseases, but these drugs have various types of side effect such as incidences of relapse, and drug interactions. Drugs of plant origin gaining popularity to treat peptic ulcer and hepatotoxicity. It is difficult to search pure phytochemicals as hepatoprotective and antiulcer drugs. It is time-consuming and also very expensive. From authentic literature sources, it founded that there are no medicinal plants, which utilized for the treatment of ulcer and liver diseases. Andrographis paniculata, Eclipta alba, Picrorrhiza kurroa, Silibum marianum, Phyllanthus and Trichopus zeylanicus, etc. plants are renounced for their satisfactory activity against certain hepatotoxins. The wide range of compounds showing anti–ulcer and hepatoprotective effect, among them flavonoids is most important. Flavonoids play an important role in reducing free radicals. Various...
