Novel formulations are developed for dermatological applications to address a wide range of patient needs and therapeutic challenges. By pushing the limits of pharmaceutical technology, these formulations strive to provide safer, more effective, and patient-friendly solutions for dermatological concerns, ultimately improving the overall quality of dermatological care. The article explores the different types of novel dermatological formulations, including nanocarriers, transdermal patches, microsponges, and microneedles, and the techniques involved in the cutaneous pharmacokinetics of these innovative formulations.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex metabolic derangement that has a strong genetic basis. There is substantial population-specificity in the association of genetic variants with T2D. The Indian urban Sindhi population is at a high risk of T2D.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the genetic and environmental factors contributing to type 2 diabetes within Sindhi families in central India, an ethnic group with limited research in this area.
  • It involved 1,152 individuals from 112 families and found that specific body measurements, such as waist and hip circumference, are significantly associated with type 2 diabetes risk.
  • The results highlight the heritability of both anthropometric traits and diabetes, suggesting that further genetic research is needed to understand the condition better in this population.

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of short-term workplace-based physical activity education on altering sitting outcomes, maximal oxygen consumption () and occupational well-being. Four office clusters (46 participants) of desk-based workers were randomized to either the move in office with education (MOWE) group or the control (CONT) group for 4 weeks. The outcomes were occupational sedentary time, and workplace well-being.

The objective of the present investigation is to enhance the dissolution and flow properties of raloxifene hydrochloride (RXH), a biopharmaceutical classification system class II drug. Melt dispersion of RXH with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 was prepared by the fusion method. The melt dispersion was then adsorbed onto a porous adsorbent, Neusilin, by the melt adsorption method.

Objective: This research study attempted to develop spray-dried solid dispersion, to enhance the solubility of repaglinide, an antidiabetic drug.

Significance: Aqueous solubility plays a major role in drug delivery because any chemical entity has to be in a dissolved state at the site of absorption, in order to get absorbed. Solid dispersion (SD) is one of the widely used techniques to enhance solubility and hence dissolution rate of poorly soluble drugs.
