Kombucha a Nutritional Tea - A Review
type: item
description: Kombucha is a traditional beverage produced by fermenting sweetened tea using a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) . This review explores the complex metabolic cascade where sucrose and tea polyphenols are transformed into potent organic acids—including acetic, gluconic, and D-saccharic acid-1,4-lactone (DSL)—as well as essential vitamins and minerals. While traditional Camellia sinensis remains the foundation, recent research highlights the potential of alternative substrates such as fruits, herbs, and grains to diversify and enhance bioactive profiles. These ferments demonstrate significant antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties in preclinical models, with emerging human clinical trials indicating potential antidiabetic benefits, such as reduced fasting blood glucose levels. Despite these therapeutic promises, product standardization remains a significant challenge due to inherent microbial variability and environmental influences. Furthermore, improper artisanal production poses safety risks, including metabolic acidosis and contamination, necessitating adherence to regulatory frameworks like Brazil’s Normative Instruction 41/2019. Future research must focus on precise molecular characterization and rigorous clinical validation to transition kombucha from a functional dietary supplement into a standardized pharmaceutical agent.

Human Resource Management Practices and Job Satisfaction Trends Among Pharmacy Professionals in India: A Cross-Sectional Study
type: item
description: Human Resource Management (HRM) practices are increasingly recognised as determinants of professional satisfaction and workforce stability within healthcare education systems. Despite India's pharmacy sector ranking among the world's largest by production volume, systematic empirical evidence linking HRM dimensions to satisfaction outcomes across multiple pharmacy stakeholder groups remains sparse. This study addresses the gap through a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional survey (N = 265) comprising three cohorts: practicing pharmacists (n = 16), pharmacy teaching faculty (n = 66), and pharmacy students (n = 183) drawn from government, private, and deemed-university institutions across India. Six HRM dimensions—recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal, compensation and benefits, work environment, and management support—were operationalised via validated Likert-scale instruments. Statistical analyses encompassed Pearson product-moment correlation, ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, and chi-square tests of independence. Results indicate that HRM practices and satisfaction are strongly and significantly correlated across all cohorts (r = 0.681–0.919; p ≤ 0.004). OLS regression models explain 46.4%, 84.4%, and 76.6% of variance in satisfaction for professionals, teachers, and students, respectively. Compensation and benefits emerged as the most deficient HRM dimension (M = 2.73–2.95), while recruitment and selection was perceived most positively (M = 3.52–3.77). Both research hypotheses are accepted at the 1% significance level. Findings yield actionable recommendations for regulatory bodies, institutional administrators, and policy-makers seeking to strengthen the pharmacy workforce in India.

Antibiotics in Burn Care: Indications, Limitations and Evidence
type: item
description: Burn injuries disrupt the skin’s natural barrier, making patients highly vulnerable to infections, which remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The appropriate use of antibiotics is essential in preventing and managing burn wound infections. Topical antimicrobial agents, such as silver sulfadiazine and bacitracin, play a key role in reducing microbial colonization and promoting wound healing, although some agents may delay epithelialization. Systemic antibiotics, on the other hand, are not routinely recommended and should be reserved for cases with clinical evidence of infection, sepsis, or extensive burns. Current evidence indicates that prophylactic use of systemic antibiotics does not improve outcomes and may contribute to antimicrobial resistance. Emphasis is therefore placed on early wound care, hygiene, and careful monitoring for infection. This review highlights the indications, limitations, and evidence-based use of antibiotics in burn management, supporting a rational and judicious approach to therapy.

Rational Design and Semi-synthetic Development of Novel Berberine Derivatives Through Cuaac Click Chemistry for Iron Deficiency Anemia Therapy
type: item
description: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) remains one of the most prevalent nutritional disorders worldwide, necessitating the development of effective and well-tolerated therapeutic agents. Berberine, a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid, exhibits diverse pharmacological activities but is limited by suboptimal bioavailability and therapeutic specificity in IDA management. The present study focuses on the rational design and semi-synthetic development of novel Berberine derivatives using copper(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click chemistry to enhance its therapeutic potential against iron deficiency anemia. A strategic semi-synthetic approach was employed wherein Berberine was structurally modified to introduce azide and alkyne functionalities, enabling efficient conjugation through CuAAC reactions. This methodology allowed the generation of a focused library of novel triazole-linked Berberine derivatives with high regioselectivity, improved structural diversity, and excellent synthetic yields. The synthesized compounds were characterized using standard spectroscopic techniques, including UV–Visible spectroscopy, FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry, confirming the successful formation of the desired derivatives. The rational design of these derivatives aimed to improve iron absorption, enhance hemoglobin synthesis, and reduce gastrointestinal adverse effects commonly associated with conventional iron supplements. Preliminary in vitro and QSAR evaluations indicated that select Berberine derivatives exhibited enhanced bioactivity and favorable safety profiles compared to the parent compound. Overall, this study demonstrates that CuAAC click chemistry is a robust and versatile platform for the semi-synthetic modification of Berberine, providing promising lead compounds for the development of novel therapeutic agents for iron deficiency anemia.

A REVIEW ON PRECISION CANCER THERAPY
type: item
description: These days, cancer is the most lethal illness, and it's getting worse because of the way we live. The emergence of aberrant cells that have the capacity to invade and destroy healthy bodily tissues and divide uncontrollably is known as cancer. The most prevalent malignancies are those of the prostate, colon, lung, and breast. Nowadays, precision oncology focusses on matching the most precise and efficient treatment depending on the patient's unique situation as well as their disease and genetic profile. These treatments, which target cancer cells more precisely while protecting healthy cells, are typically based on the genetic profile of the tumour. Personalised medicine is another name for precision medicine. The cancer is treated based on the individual's medical history, condition, and type of cancer. This review aims to objectively evaluate how cancer treatment has changed, with a focus on the move towards more accurate techniques. An overview of the precision approach, personalised medicine for cancer, diagnosis and therapy, the benefits and drawbacks of precision medicine, and the successes and difficulties in applying precision cancer medicine are all covered in this review.

Aspirin in the Prevention of Fetal Growth Restriction: Its Mechanisms and Clinical Outcomes
type: item
description: Background: Foetal growth restriction (FGR) is a serious pregnancy complication associated with long-term adverse outcomes, neonatal morbidity, and stillbirth. Its primary causes include inadequate spiral arterial remodelling, endothelial dysfunction, and reduced placental perfusion. Low-dose aspirin (LDA) has been extensively studied for improving uteroplacental blood flow through its antiplatelet, anti-inflammatory, and vasodilatory effects. Initiating aspirin before 16 weeks of gestation significantly reduces FGR risk in high-risk pregnancies. Main Body: A literature review was conducted using PubMed and related databases to identify clinical trials, meta-analyses, and guideline statements assessing aspirin for FGR and preeclampsia prevention. Key search terms included low-dose aspirin, foetal growth restriction, preeclampsia, placental insufficiency, and pregnancy complications. Studies from India were reviewed separately to highlight regional evidence variations. Results: Randomized trials and meta-analyses indicate that aspirin enhances uteroplacental circulation, lowers preeclampsia risk, and reduces FGR incidence, particularly when started before 16 weeks at 100–150 mg daily. Safety outcomes are favourable, with minimal maternal or neonatal adverse effects at recommended doses. However, compliance and outcomes vary due to differences in healthcare access, antenatal care timing, and practices. In India, limited large-scale studies and inconsistent guidelines have hindered routine aspirin use in obstetric care. Conclusion: Low-dose aspirin is a safe, cost-effective intervention that reduces FGR and associated complications when initiated early in high-risk pregnancies. Despite global recommendations, its use remains suboptimal in some regions, including India. Population-specific trials and standardized national protocols are needed to optimize clinical benefits.

Ethical Consideration & International Regulatory Guidelines in Animal Research in Drug Discovery
type: item
description: As the vital link between laboratory science and clinical evaluation, preclinical animal research continues to be a fundamental part of contemporary drug discovery. Only in vivo investigations can accurately capture the systemic pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and toxicity necessary to enable first-in-human dosing, even while early-stage medicinal chemistry, in vitro tests, and computational screening uncover and optimize lead drugs. In accordance with international guidelines like ICH M3(R2), regulatory bodies such as the U.S. FDA, EMA, and India's CDSCO require suitable animal studies in Investigational New Drug (IND/CTA) filings. Therefore, revolutionary treatment developments in endocrinology, infectious illnesses, cancer, and vaccine development have been made possible by animal models. Due to differences in disease biology, metabolism, and immunological responses between species, many drug candidates that show efficacy and safety in animals but fail in clinical trials are an example of the inconsistent translational predictivity of animal studies. The desire for improvement is further fueled by operational constraints, high costs, and ethical issues. Scientific and regulatory organizations place a strong emphasis on rigorous model selection, improved study design, and incorporating the 3Rs—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement—to address these issues. At the same time, the field of nonclinical development is changing due to new human-relevant approaches like organoids, organ-on-chip platforms, and AI-driven computational toxicology. While critically analysing their limits and related ethical frameworks, this study emphasizes the crucial role that animals play in PK/PD evaluation, efficacy testing, and safety assessment. It delves deeper into the development of improved in vivo models, verified substitutes, and hybrid testing approaches that all work together to improve translational success. All things considered, ethical, evidence-based a…

Novel Applications of Nanotechnology in Diagnosis and Treatment of Neurological Disorders
type: item
description: The prevalence of neurological disorders with unknown causes is rising, includes well-researched conditions like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, Schizophrenia, cerebrovascular diseases and stroke. Consequently, focus has shifted to creating novel and efficient drug delivery devices that can transport drugs and have good brain bioavailability by Nano neurotechnology. Some of these issues have recently shown encouraging remedies due to use of nanoparticles in medicine delivery. In the diagnosis and treatment of various illnesses with drug and/or imaging agent efficacy, cellular uptake and selective transport to target organs frequently arise. Due to the BBB, a densely packed layer of endothelial cells that blocks foreign chemicals from entering the brain, neurodegenerative illnesses pose significant problems. Engineered nanomaterials, which are particles between 1 and 100 nm in size, are offering intriguing biomedical tools that may be able to overcome these issues because of their physico-chemical characteristics and the potential for multi-functionalization, which allows conferring variety of properties simultaneously, including the capacity to pass the blood-brain barrier. This study focuses on the most advanced nanomaterials for neuroprotection, neuronal tissue regeneration, and diagnostic imaging of the most prevalent neurodegenerative illnesses. The range of nanotechnologies that are readily available enables the nanoscale material with properties most suited to the therapeutic difficulties presented by a specific CNS illness. Clinical neuroscience's use of nanotechnology will depend on our capacity to combine it with our expanding knowledge of the molecular causes of CNS disorder. Finally, new nanotechnological methods are explored.

Synergistic Role of IFTAK Technique and Aragwadhadi Varti in Management of Fistula - in - Ano
type: item
description: Fistula is a condition where two epithelial surfaces connect in an abnormal way. A condition known as fistula-in-ano occurs when there is a communication formed between the anal canal and the perineal region. The path is usually bordered by unattractive granulation tissues. The main reason for this condition is inadequately managed crypto glandular infection. As time has progressed, the Ksharasutra remains the top option among treatment methods for Fistula-in-ano due to reduced complications such as recurrence and incontinence. In spite of all these benefits, there are still some disadvantages including discomfort, prolonged anxiety, more frequent hospital visits, longer treatment times, and considerable post-surgical scarring. IFTAK (Interception of Fistulous tract with application of Ksharasutra) is a new, enhanced Ksharasutra approach, allowing greater convenience for patients while eliminating the limitations of traditional methods. Additionally, the use of Aragwadhadi varti in conjunction with the previously mentioned technique resulted in improved healing of the remaining section of the track. In this instance, IFTAK is performed under Spinal anaesthesia. Ksharasutra was changed weekly for 3 weeks , and Aragwadhadi varti was applied on every third day for 12 times. The fistula fully healed within 45 days. This research demonstrated an initial total remission of the fistulous tracts using the IFTAK method and Aragwadhadi varti, in contrast to the traditional Ksharasutra approach. Based on the duration, the traditional approach requires 15-20 weeks, while this research took significantly less time. And throughout the follow-up, no recurrence was observed. Consequently, the IFTAK method used alongside Aragwadhadi varti was considered very effective because of its ability to save time and minimize scarring and fibrosis.

Review on Coronavirus Disease 2019 Transmission, Diagnosis And treatment
type: item
description: COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2, which first appeared in Wuhan, Hubei Prvince, Central China, in December 2019 and has spread rapidly since then. Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by an infection with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) and has caused one of the largest global outbreaks in recent years, posing a serious threat to global public health. World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global health emergency on January 30, 2020. Despite global efforts to prevent SARS-CoV2 transmission by quarantining infected people and their family members, social distancing, and school closures, the spread of infection could not be stopped. The case fatality rate is estimated to range from 2 to 3%. Diagnosis is by demonstration of the virus in respiratory secretions by special molecular tests. Common laboratory findings include normal/ low white cell counts with elevated = C-reactive protein (CRP). The computerized tomographic chest scan is usually abnormal even in those with no symptoms or mild disease. Treatment is essentially supportive; role of antiviral agents is yet to be established

A Systematic Review of Pharmacovigilance and Adverse Drug Reaction
type: item
description: The history of pharmacovigilance started back 169 years ago with the death of a 15- year-old girl, Hannah Greener. However, the Thalidomide incident of 1961 brought a sharp change in the pharmacovigilance process, with adverse drug reaction reporting being systematic, spontaneous, and regulated timely. Therefore, continuous monitoring of marketed drugs was essential to ensure the safety of public health. Any observed adverse drug reaction detected by signals was to be reported by the health profession. Moreover, signal detection became the primary goal of pharmacovigilance based on reported cases. Among various methods used for signal detection, the Spontaneous Reporting System was most widely preferred; although, it had the limitation of "underreporting". Gradually, the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre and "Uppsala Monitoring Centre" were established in 1978 for international monitoring of drugs. The center was responsible for operating various databases like vigiflow, vigibase, vigilyze, and vigiaccess. Recently, huge data could be generated through spontaneous reporting linked with computational methods, such as Bayesian Framework, ESynthesis. Furthermore, drug safety surveillance at an early stage prior to the official alerts or regulatory changes was made possible through social media. In addition, India created a National Pharmacovigilance Program, and Schedule Y of the Drug and Cosmetic Act 1945 was reviewed and amended in 2005
