Background: Laser therapy has emerged as an innovative approach for managing various nail conditions, offering precise targeting, minimal invasiveness, and favorable safety profiles. This review analyzes the literature on laser therapy for nail indications, encompassing onychomycosis, nail psoriasis, nail warts, ingrown toenails, onychodystrophy, nail pigmentation disorders, and nail tumors.
Methods: PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched to identify articles on laser therapy using specific key terms related to nail conditions (e.
Subabul (Leucaena leucocephala L.) is a leguminous species often referred to as the "miracle tree," it provides numerous ecosystem services and exhibits robust ecological characteristics. However, the infection caused by phytopathogenic fungi is poorly understood in Subabul.

Histopathology can be a useful tool in not only diagnosing but also differentiating various deep mycoses.
Aims And Objectives: To observe various morphological presentations and histopathological features of deep fungal infections.

Small chemical molecules are attractive agents for improving the plant processes associated with plant growth and stress tolerance. Recent advances in chemical biology and structure-assisted drug discovery approaches have opened up new avenues in plant biology to discover new drug-like molecules to improve plant processes for sustained food production. Several compounds targeting phytohormone biosynthesis or signalling cascades were designed to alter plant physiological mechanisms.

The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of carbon dioxide laser versus microfractional radiofrequency in treatment of acne scars in skin type 3,4.
Material And Methods: Thirty-two patients of skin types 3-4 with grade 3 and 4 atrophic acne scars, of which 16 were treated with fractional carbon dioxide (CO) laser and 16 were treated with microfractional radiofrequency were retrospectively analyzed.
