Exploring Potential Bioactive Components of Persea americana for the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis through Network Pharmacology.

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease character-ized by inflammation and joint destruction, leading to significant disability and reduced quality of life. Current treatment options for RA have limitations, highlighting the need for novel therapeu-tic approaches. In this study, we employed network pharmacology methods to identify potential bioactive compounds from Persea Americana (avocado) for the treatment of RA.

A Study to Analyze Impact of Treatment Couch and Immobilization Devices on Surface Dose for Megavoltage Photon Beams.

Purpose/objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of treatment couch and immobilization devices on surface dose for megavoltage photon beams.

Material/methods: Percentage surface dose (PSD) measurement was carried out in Elekta Synergy™ Linear accelerator using PTW Markus® Parallel plate ionization chamber of volume 0.05cm3 with water equivalent RW3 Slab phantom (PTW, Germany).
