Silk Fibroin Hydrogels: Cutting-Edge Developments and Future Directions.

The exploration of hydrogel materials has gained significant attention due to the ongoing period of collaborative interdisciplinary advancements. Silk fibroin (SF) possesses remarkable attributes, such as less immunogenicity, sterilization efficacy, processability without chemical crosslinkers, excellent biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, non-toxicity, mechanical strength, thermal stability, non-carcinogenicity, and adjustable biodegradability make it a highly valuable biomaterial. Silk fibroin hydrogel (SFH), a versatile biomaterial, has garnered significant attention due to its unique properties.

Olmesartan Medoxomil-Loaded Niosomal Gel for Buccal Delivery: Formulation, Optimization, and Studies.

Objectives: Olmesartan medoxomil (OLM) is a low bioavailability antihypertensive drug. This study aimed to prepare and optimize an OLM niosomal gel and investigate drug permeation a chicken buccal pouch.

Materials And Methods: OLM-loaded niosome were prepared using a film hydration technique.

Differential Pharmacokinetic Interplay of Atorvastatin on Lacosamide and Levetiracetam on Experimental Convulsions in Mice.

Background: The beneficial effects of statins, other than their hypocholesterolemia role, have been well documented, however, their use as an adjuvant drug with other antiseizure drugs, in the treatment of epilepsy is poorly understood.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the symbiotic effect of ATOR along with either lacosamide (LACO) or levetiracetam (LEVE) on experimentally induced epilepsy (Maximal electro-shock-MES or pentylenetetrazol- PTZ) in mice models.

Methods: Conventional elevated-maze (EPM) and rotarod methods were performed to observe the behavioral effects.

Bell Palsy: Facts and Current Research Perspectives.

Bell palsy is a non-progressive neurological condition characterized by the acute onset of ipsilateral seventh cranial nerve paralysis. People who suffer from this type of facial paralysis develop a droop on one side of their face, or sometimes both. This condition is distinguished by a sudden onset of facial paralysis accompanied by clinical features such as mild fever, postauricular pain, dysgeusia, hyperacusis, facial changes, and drooling or dry eyes.

Ameliorative Potential of Rosuvastatin on Doxorubicin-induced Cardiotoxicity by Modulating Oxidative Damage in Rats.

Objectives: The study aimed to explore the protective potential of rosuvastatin (ROSS), an oral antihyperlipidemic drug against doxorubicin (DOXO) induced cardio toxicity in rats.

Materials And Methods: Cardiac toxicity was induced by DOXO injection (10 mg/kg, ), once on the 20 day of the experiment. Except for the control rats, all were received DOXO and the study was continued for up to 21 days.

5-HT receptor antagonism a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of depression and other disorders.

Background: Depression or Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prolonged condition of sadness. MDD is the most common mental disorder that affects more than 264 million people worldwide. According to the monoamine hypothesis, serotonin (5-hydroxy tryptamine, 5-HT), dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) are the major neurotransmitters (NTs) involved in depression.
