Observational Studies and Registries in Clinical Cardiology

With the advent of evidence-based medicine, the opinion has been established that randomized controlled trials (RCT) are the “gold standard” of evidence, including in the development of clinical guidelines. However, due to a number of reasons, the results of RCT cannot provide complete answers to all relevant questions for modern medicine and their results may not be generalizable to usual clinical care nor reflect treatment effectiveness in community practice. Observational research and patient registries provide... see more

Innovative delivery systems and formulations for the management of diseases affecting the skin and skin appendages

Skin and skin appendage diseases have high incidence and can highly impact the quality of life. Such diseases include pigmentation disorders, such as melasma, vitiligo and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, infectious diseases caused by fungi, viruses, bacteria and parasites, inflammatory diseases such as acne, dermatitis, rosacea, and psoriasis, as well as skin cancer. The topical treatment of skin and skin appendage diseases is frequently indicated; however, low efficacy is usually seen, considering the low permeability of active... see more

Smart nanosystems dependent drug delivery against Ulcerative colitis

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and debilitating inflammatory disorder of colonic mucosa. The global prevalence of UC is estimated to be 5 million (Le Berreet al, 2023). It is characterized with loss of appetite, malnutrition and bloody diarrhea. UC increases the risk of colon cancer. UC is thought to occur for gut epithelial barrier defect, gut microbial population imbalance and deregulated immune system which attack the host. As it used to relapse if medicine... see more

Role of Phenolic Nanocompounds in Inflammatory disorders: Current view and Future Aspects

Inflammation is a biological defence mechanism caused by the several pro-inflammatory mediators produced by the immune system. Overproduction of these mediators produces chronic inflammation and may also be a reason for the various chronic disorders. The available conventional treatment is costly for inhibiting the inflammatory process and produces several side effects. Natural products are used extensively to overcome these types of health issues. Phenolic compounds are very potent in inhibiting the inflammatory processes and the... see more

Diabetes mellitus: advances in diagnosis and treatment driving by precision medicine

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic degenerative metabolic disease with ever increasing prevalence worldwide which is now an epidemic disease affecting 500 million people worldwide. Insufficient insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells unable to maintain blood glucose homeostasis is the main feature of this disease. Multifactorial and complex nature of DM makes its diagnosis and treatment challenging. Genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors are the main risk factors that act independently as well as in interplay... see more

Blood-based biomarkers in large-scale screening for neurodegenerative diseases

Disease biomarkers are necessary tools that can be employ in several clinical context of use (COU), ranging from the (early) diagnosis, prognosis, prediction, to monitor of disease state and/or drug efficacy. Regarding neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a battery of well-validated biomarkers are available, such as cerebrospinal fluid Aβ42 and Tau, or specific neuropathological lesions detected by neuroimaging techniques. However, invasiveness and high cost limit the use of these biomarkers mostly in COUs... see more
