Background And Purpose: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a complex medical condition affecting people globally. Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is a recently discovered gaseous mediator and is dysregulated in the brain after TBI. Sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaHS), a known donor of HS, is beneficial in various biological processes involving aging and diseases, including injury.

The drugs were separated on an ACE Generix100-5 C18 RP (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) column, using Acetonitrile and Distilled water pH 7 (59:41 v/v) as mobile phase with a flow rate of 1.

Despite the challenge posed by eye anatomy and tear dynamics, effective ocular bioavailability via topical administration remains elusive. This study aims to optimize self-assembled nanomicelles incorporating LAT, an anti-glaucoma drug, belonging to BCS Class II (low solubility and high permeability) via a two-level, two-factor full factorial design, the nanomicelles were formulated via direct dissolution method and validated using design of expert.

Moreover, accessibility and affordability of conventional treatments remain barriers for many individuals, particularly in low-resource settings. Hence, there is a compelling need to explore alternative therapeutic modalities, such as Unani medicine, which offer the potential for effective management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) while potentially mitigating these drawbacks.

Vitamin B received considerable interest due to its potential therapeutic properties. The pathways of vitamin B are closely related to neuronal survival but its effects on the pathophysiology of injury with respect to cognition is a relatively unexplored area of research.
