The increasing knowledge on skin physiology, formulation science and nanotechnology has led to continuous improvements in cosmetics, and introduction of dermocosmetics has been increasing particularly for the management of skin disorders such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, etc. Nowadays, research has been focused on the development of products which can efficiently administer active compounds to the target Read More

This article explores the significant impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) on the pharmaceutical industry, which has transformed the drug development process. AI and ML technologies provide powerful tools for analysis, decision-making, and prediction by simplifying complex procedures from drug design to formulation design. These techniques could potentially speed up the development o Read More

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a clinical characteristic of progressive loss of kidney function and becomes a serious health and social concern. SGLT2i (sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors), a class of anti-diabetic medications, are shown to reduce cardiovascular and renal events. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess whether SGLT2i could become a new treatment strategy for CK Read More

Background: In recent times, modifying dietary habits to control cardiovascular risk factors has gained significant attention. However, previous studies have yielded inconsistent results regarding the effects of lycopene and tomato consumption on cardiovascular risk factors. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the impact of consuming lycopene and tomatoes on various cardiovascular risks factors such as lipi Read More

Introduction: The comparative pharmacokinetics (PK) and PK/pharmacodynamics (PD) ratios of a new pharmaceutical design of enrofloxacin-alginate in dried beads (EADBs) and the reference enrofloxacin 10% solution was determined in broiler chickens. Also, the same parameters were determined after administering enrofloxacin with a double dosing scheme (through drinking water and as an in-feed medication of EAD Read More
