With many drugs being tried in the management and treatment of COVID-19, dupilumab is one such monoclonal antibody that has come under the limelight for its possible role as an adjunct therapy in COVID-19 position. There are isolated case reports and series that document a milder course of COVID-19 infection in patients who have already been on dupilumab therapy for treatment of conditions such as atopic dermatitis and chronic rhino-sinusitis with nasal polyp. There is also an ongoing debate regarding the continuation of biologicals in the COVID patient. In this article, a non-systematic critical analysis of dupilumab was performed to delve into this hypothesis further.

Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a significant health issue that increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and renal failure. This condition broadly encompasses both primary and secondary forms. Despite extensive research, the underlying mechanisms of systemic arterial hypertension-particularly primary hypertension, which has no identifiable cause and is affected by genetic and lifestyle agents-remain complex and not fully understood.

Blood components play a crucial role in maintaining human health and accurately detecting them is essential for medical diagnostics. A cutting-edge sensor utilizing PCF revealed to precisely identify a wide range of blood components with WBCs (white blood cells), RBCs (red blood cells), HB (hemoglobin), platelets, and plasma. A numerical analysis was performed using COMSOL Multiphysics software to assess the capabilities of the sensor.

Melatonin (MEL), functioning as a circulating hormone, is important for the regulation of ferroptosis in different health scenarios and acts as a crucial antioxidant in cardiovascular diseases. However, its specific function in ferroptosis related to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) remains to be fully elucidated. In our research, we utilized a rat model of MIRI induced by coronary artery ligation, along with a cell model subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R).
