A Perception-Based Survey on Practice Patterns Pertaining to the Diagnosis and Management of Allergic Rhinitis in India.

Introduction: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is increasingly prevalent in India, affecting a significant portion of the population and adversely impacting their quality of life. This nationwide survey aimed to explore the perceptions and clinical preferences of Indian physicians regarding the perceived prevalence, common symptoms, and various available treatments for AR.

Methods: This cross-sectional, observational, digital questionnaire-based survey was conducted from September 2022 to March 2023, involving physicians sharing insights on prevalence rates, diagnostic approaches, medication preferences, and immunotherapy practices in AR management.

Designing and evaluating a Nutritional Assessment and Intervention Kiosk for mother-child dyad to combat double burden of malnutrition.

The study protocol focuses on DBM, proposing a preventive strategy for mother-child pairs that would be accessible, affordable, sustainable, and human-centred. The aim is to guide the development of tools and technologies, passing through stages for gathering a process and presenting health data. The initial stage identifies the rules and models synthesising existing digital interventions combating forms of malnourishment, followed by designing and developing a Nutrition Informatics Intervention, i.

Management of Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis: An Indian Expert Consensus.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is characterized by painful, oral mucosal ulcers with wide range of prevalence ranging from 2 to 78%. Etiology of RAS is idiopathic and multifactorial. There are numerous gaps in assessment and management of RAS and the absence of guidelines or a consensus document makes the treatment further difficult.

S-100 Immuno-Positive Low Grade Myofibroblastic Sarcoma of Nasal Cavity: A Rare Case Presentation and Review of Literature.

Introduction: Myofibroblastic neoplasms comprise a spectrum of benign/malignant neoplasms. Only low-grade malignant forms have been reproducibly characterized as a diagnostic entity in the WHO classification. Low grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMFS) confined to the nasal cavity is extremely rare.

Asia-Pacific survey of physicians' perceptions and managements of chronic rhinosinusitis.

Background: The diagnosis and management of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) may vary between otolaryngologists and allergists. Moreover, the adherence of different practitioners to European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS) 2020 guideline recommendations has not been previously ascertained in Asia-Pacific regions.

Objective: Different specialists' perceptions and managements of CRS in Asia-Pacific regions were assessed in an attempt to gauge these practices against EPOS 2020 guidelines.

Smart Advancements for Targeting Solid Tumors Protein and Peptide Drug Delivery (PPD).

Proteins and peptides possess considerable potential in treating solid tumors because of their unique properties. At present, there are over 100 peptide-based formulations on the market. Today, peptides and proteins are in more demand due to their selective nature and high target-binding efficiency.

Auricle Schwannoma: Presentation of a Rare Case and Review of Existing Literature.

Schwannomas are extremely rare over auricle. Despite the extensive somatogenic neural innervations of the pinna, schwannomas are never amongst the differentials for a benign auricular mass. Previously published articles have all agreed on the rarity of this lesion occurring over the auricle.

Formulation and optimization for DPP-4 inhibitor nanomicelles using response surface methodology.

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are the oral antidiabetics that inhibits the enzyme DPP-4. The main aim of study was to formulate, statistically optimize and characterize the polymeric nanomicellar (PNM) formulation of DPP-4 inhibitor (sitagliptin) using natural polymer and a nonionic surfactant. Response surface methodology (RSM) an experimental design was applied for optimization of nanomicelles using full central composite design.

Pharmacotherapy of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with a Focus on Clarithromycin: An Expert Opinion.

Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) is frequently distinguished as persistent symptomatic inflammation of the nasal and sinus mucosa and is recognized as one of the most common chronic diseases, with high incidence rate. It has a major impact on overall quality of life. Although, the etiology and pathogenesis of CRS are not clearly understood, there are several hypotheses on CRS etiology and pathogenesis.

Data on Spectroscopic, Rheological characterization of neem oil and its isolated fractions.

In this article a medicinal oil (neem oil) is fractionated and compared with original oil. The fractions were separated at low temperature using chloroform and methanol. The uniphase mixture of solvents and neem oil at room temperature was transformed to a bi-phasic system at low temperature.
