Nasya, one of the core detoxification therapies in Ayurveda, involves the administration of medicinal substances through the nasal passage. It is particularly effective for disorders affecting the head and neck region (above the clavicle), but it also influences the nervous and endocrine systems systemically. In Ayurveda, the nasal cavity (Nasa) is seen as a direct pathway to the brain (Shiras), allowing medicines to reach the brain and affect neurological, endocrine, and circulatory functions. Modern medicine also recognizes the nasal route for its potential in both local and systemic treatment outcomes. This study explores the mechanisms of Nasya through both Ayurvedic and modern scientific...

Nanocrystals are crystalline particles having particle size range of 100 to 1000 nm. However, these nano-sized systems are thermodynamically unstable, stabilizers are required to incorporate them. The poorly soluble drugs lead to problems like poor absorption and therapeutic failure. One such method to overcome these solubility problems is the development of nanocrystals. These systems reduce particle size that increases surface area and hence dissolution. Nanoscience technology results in improving solubility, bioavailability and dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble drugs. According to the Noyes-Whitney equation, there is a direct relationship between dissolution rate and surface area of drug particles. Various methods of preparation nanocrystals are Crystallization method, Anti-solvent crystallization, High gravity-controlled precipitation. Evaluation of nanocrystals with different...

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality, ranking third after throm-boembolism and hypertensive disorders. The primary goal of this study was to determine the effectiveness of balloon tamponade in the prevention and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage. The principle of balloon tamponade is to apply direct pressure to the bleeding vessels of the placental area using the wall of an inflated balloon within the uterus. The basic study included both retrospective and prospective research. The retrospective study group (no balloon tamponade performed) consisted of 72 patients, of whom 34 delivered vaginally and 38 underwent cesarean section. The prospective study group (balloon tamponade performed) included 40 women (20 with vaginal deliveries and 20 with operative deliveries). The effectiveness of the treatment was assessed based on two criteria: the volume of blood loss and the number of hysterectomies performed. In our study, the effectiveness of balloon tamponade was found to be 95%, based on the complete cessation of bleeding and the reduction in the length...

Introduction: Adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) are frequently underreported in India for numerous reasons, ultimately impacting the country’s immunisation program. The current study evaluates the knowledge, attitudes, and reporting practices (KAP) on vaccine vigilance among physicians in our hospital. Objectives: To find out various causes of Under-reporting of adverse events subsequent immunisation. Materials & Methods: Using a standard questionnaire, 200 doctors were interviewed. Responses were documented and analysed. Doctors had 37.8% knowledge while 68.9% had a good attitude but had poor reporting practices 34.6%. Results: Lack of knowledge, difficulty in filling reporting form, time constraints were the common causes for the under-reporting. Conclusion: Enhancing the perspective of AEFI, adequate training, and proactive involvement in reporting by healthcare practitioners could strengthen the nation’s vaccine surveillance...

Candesartan Cilexetil (CC) traditional dosage form has poor bioavailability and quick first pass metabolism, which leads to rapid elimination of the drug from the system and reduced plasma drug concentration during early morning heart attack incidence. The primary purpose of the Candesartan Cilexetil chronotherapeutic formulation is to optimally release the medicine in greater amounts in the early morning hours (when it is most needed) and in lower amounts at night (when it is least needed). Because systolic and diastolic blood pressures increase fast in the early morning by at least 15 to 25 mmHg and peak late in the day, Candesartan Cilexetil was successfully developed as microsponges to enhance its solubility and bioavailability and delivered as the pulsatile release (Pulsincap dosage form) for delivering the drug after the lag time of 5-6 h for the chronomodulated release of the drug. Microsponges and Pulsincap were subjected to various formulation parameters like FTIR, DSC, encapsulation efficiency, SEM, in-vitro dissolution and kinetic study. F9 formulation was selected as best formulation as it...
