Utility of 30% hydrogen peroxide in the treatment of seborrheic keratosis.

Background: Hydrogen peroxide (H O ) has been used in medicine as an antiseptic, but at a higher concentration of 40%, it is used as a chemical cauterant for seborrheic keratoses (SKs). Its action and hence utility at 30% is unexplored. It can serve as a relatively inexpensive modality of treatment for SKs.

Efficacy of 810 nm diode laser in hair reduction in Indian subpopulation using a novel Gabor filter-based detection software and hair algorithm.

Background: Diode laser (810 nm) is frequently employed for hair reduction. There are few studies determining the efficacy in Indian population.

Objectives: Assessment of efficacy and safety of 810 nm diode laser in facial/axillary hair reduction and objective assessment of the improvement with dermoscopy, photographs, and novel Gabor filter-based hair detection algorithm.

Prevalence, risk factors and treatment practices in diarrhoeal diseases in south India.

Objectives: This study was done to determine the risk factors, management practices and awareness about diarrhoea.

Methods: It was a cross sectional study done in a semi urban and rural areas of South Canara district of India in February 2013. A total of 167 households (575 study population) chosen systematic randomly were visited and one adult member in each house was interviewed.

Can Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 7 (mGluR 7) be a Novel Target for Analgesia?

Introduction: The present study was carried out to study the role of metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGluR7) using its agonist, N,N'-bis(diphenylmethyl)-1,-ethanediamine (AMN082) for nociceptive stimuli, in animal models. By conducting this research, we aim to introduce a novel target for acute pain management.

Objective: To study the role of metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGluR7), in analgesia, using mGluR7 agonist AMN082 in animal models.
