Medical Reference Tools and Pharmaceutical Promotion: A History of Entanglement.

Reference tools are often uncritically accepted as balanced, objective, definitive, and evidence-based guides to medical knowledge. Yet for centuries textbooks and manuals have been entangled in various ways with industry interests. This essay shows how reference tools have served as sites of pharmaceutical promotion.

Limberg Transpositional Fasciocutaneous Flap in Sacrococcygeal Pilonidal Sinus Disease (SPSD): A Case Series.

Introduction Among young male adults, sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease (SPSD) is a prevalent condition. There are several possibilities for treatment, including both conservative and surgical methods. Medical supervision or conservative management is not the cutting-edge and preferred management nowadays.

Identification, characterization, and CADD analysis of Plasmodium DMAP1 reveals it as a potential molecular target for new anti-malarial discovery.

Developing drug resistance in the malaria parasite is a reason for apprehension compelling the scientific community to focus on identifying new molecular targets that can be exploited for developing new anti-malarial compounds. Despite the availability of the genome, many protein-coding genes in are still not characterized or very less information is available about their functions. DMAP1 protein is known to be essential for growth and plays an important role in maintaining genomic integrity and transcriptional repression in vertebrate organisms.
