The skin is the human body’s biggest organ, with a surface region of around 2 m2. Generally, the skin was seen as an impermeable boundary. Yet, as of late, it has been progressively perceived that unblemished skin can be utilized as a port for the topical or ceaseless foundational organization of medications. For drugs that have short half-lives, a transdermal course gives a consistent method of organization, to some degree like that given by intravenous implantation. In contrast to intravenous implantation, the passage is non-intrusive, requiring no hospitalization. A method of reasoning to investigate this course exists just for medications exposed to a broad first pass digestion when given orally or those that must be taken a few times each day. That being said, just powerful medications can be directed through this course since there are monetary and restorative motivations not to surpass the fixed estimate past a specific farthest point. Sedate transportation has recently been confronted with two significant challenges. The first is achieving zero request arrival of...

An introduced, non-native, exotic, or alien species are those that grow in areas outside of their natural habitats. They get introduced deliberately or accidentally into new areas by anthropogenic activities or naturally through water, wind, etc. In non-native areas, these species invade rapidly due to the non-availability of natural enemies (prey) in a new habitat. Therefore, these fast-spreading exotic species are called invasive alien species. Verbesina encelioides, an invasive species of the family Asteraceae, is introduced from the United States and started to invade many arid or semi-arid regions. It is commonly known as ‘Golden crownbeard’. The weed is used as a source of traditional medicines by the indigenous people. Some researchers investigated its toxic, allelopathic, antimicrobial and nematocidal properties. Its phytochemical analysis has shown the presence of flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, carbohydrates, saponins, phenolic compounds, sterol, etc. The pharmacological studies showed this plant’s antibacterial, antitumor, antifungal, antiprotozoal and hypoglycemic potential. Attempts have been made to cover various aspects related to V. encelioides in this review...

Cancer is the world’s second-largest cause of death. Although substantial progress has been made in treating and controlling cancer progression, there are still significant flaws and space for improvement. During chemotherapy, several unfavourable side effects might arise. Natural-derived substances are attracting scientific and academic attention since they are thought to have fewer hazardous side effects than conventional treatments like chemotherapy. Natural secondary metabolites produced by plants are being studied for their anticancer properties, which could lead to the creation of novel therapeutic medications. The demand for naturally produced chemicals from medicinal plants and their features that make them possible anticancer treatments are discussed in this...

Wattakaka volubilis (L. f) Stapf, belonging to the family of Asclepiadaceae, has a history of use in traditional medicine in numerous countries. Traditionally the plant has been used for the treatment of diabetes, eye infections, snake bites, boils, skin problems, jaundice etc. A tribal community called Kurinjan has been using this plant to reduce blood glucose level. This plant is a tall woody climber with ash-colored older branches and green or yellowish green flowers that fall in umbellate cymes. The review demonstrates that the plant has a large number of phytochemical elements with activities such as Anti-diabetic, Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory, Analgesic, Antipyretic, Anti-tumour, Antimicrobial etc. The phytochemicals present are Alkaloids, Flavanoids, Tannins, Glycosides, Anthocyanidins. Phytochemicals such as Drevogenin, Delphinidine, Dregein, Dregeosides have been isolated from various parts of the plant. These findings are quite encouraging and suggest that this herb be researched further to validate these findings and uncover other possible therapeutic properties. Furthermore, the active chemical constituents of Wattakakka volubilis with significant pharmacological values must be isolated and...

Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease. It has several associations with hormonal fluctuations; the body undergoes several physiological hormonal mechanisms. In several physiological conditions, hormonal fluctuations have been observed. One such condition is pregnancy. Several hormones are at play during pregnancy; one such hormone is PTH. Parathyroid hormone is essential to increase the maternal absorption of calcium during gestation and has been observed to have a direct effect on the Periodontium. Pregnancy confers detrimental changes to the periodontal tissues in expectant mothers. In this article, we would focus on the periodontal health seen among pregnant women and how the parathyroid hormone levels vary in pregnancy in contrast to its normal mechanism. A lacuna in the literature exists, preventing us from forming an association between the varying parathyroid levels and the periodontal health status of pregnant women observed longitudinally through their pregnancies. Through this article, we aim to bridge that...
