Introduction: The study aims to investigate the antifungal efficacy of albedo extract of Punica grantum on candida albicans by evaluating the inhibitory capacity of alcoholic albedo extracts by disc diffusion method and by comparing the antifungal efficacy of alcoholic extract of albedo with clotrimazole and ethanol.
Methods: Using a conventional disc diffusion method, the effectiveness of Punica Granatum albedo extract against Candida albicans was assessed and evaluated depending on the presence or absence of inhibition zones, as well as the average diameter of inhibition zones. Albedo extract of Punica granatum serial dilutions were prepared ranging from 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% and its antifungal efficacy was tested against Candida albicans in comparison with clotrimazole and ethanol.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disorder that causes significant pain and functional limitations. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy has gained considerable attention in recent years in the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. In this narrative review, we aim to investigate the role of intra-articular PRP injections in the treatment of knee and hip OA.

Patients And Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from 2015 to 2022.
Purpose: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in syphilitic neuroarthropathy using earlier implant designs was associated with poorer outcomes. Literature on TKA for non-syphilitic neuroarthropathy using modern contemporary prosthesis is scarce. We aim to analyse the clinical and radiological outcomes of TKA in neuropathic joints.
