Dengue is a global health problem, caused by the dengue virus (DENV), which belongs to the Flaviviridae family of viruses. The transmission of DENV occurs through vectors, Ae. aegypti and Ae. Albopictus mosquitoes, to the human host, classifying it as a vector-borne disease. The disease incidence is increasing at an alarming rate and needs to be tackled to reduce the morbidity and mortality caused by the disease. Environmental and clinical surveillance, detection of the virus, and diagnostics are critical tools to address this issue. In this comprehensive review, we explore various diagnostic techniques and the associated challenges within the context of dengue. While we briefly touch upon dengue's epidemiology, serotypes, and pathogenesis, our primary emphasis remains on diagnostics. We delve into the intricacies of these diagnostic methods, considering both the challenges they entail and the potential they hold in terms of accuracy and accessibility. It's important to note that the review does not extensively cover clinical aspects or regional variations of the disease.

Introduction: Although there are numerous options for epilepsy treatment, its effective control continues unsatisfactory. Thus, search for alternative therapeutic options to improve the efficacy/safety binomial of drugs becomes very attractive to investigate. In this context, intranasal administration of antiseizure drugs formulated on state-of-the-art nanosystems can be a promising strategy.

Liver cancer poses a global health challenge with limited therapeutic options. Notably, the limited success of current therapies in patients with primary liver cancers (PLCs) may be attributed to the high heterogeneity of both hepatocellular carcinoma (HCCs) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCAs). This heterogeneity evolves over time as tumor-initiating stem cells, or cancer stem cells (CSCs), undergo (epi)genetic alterations or encounter microenvironmental changes within the tumor microenvironment.
