The aim of this study was to observe the effect of topical application of manuka honey in healing of nasal mucosa in Post Endoscopic Sinus Surgery. A total of 50 patients were selected and were operated for sinonasal diseases. Post operative after nasal pack removal manuka honey was applied. Post- operative healing was assessed and scoring was done. The present study was to evaluate and observe faster healing after application of Manuka honey. The median time to achieve clean cavity, mucosal transition and complete epithelialization was 14.0 (14.0-14.0) days. The present study concluded that application of manuka honey promotes faster healing of nasal cavity and lessens chances of postoperative infections.

Mānuka honey is New Zealand's (NZ) most globally sought-after honey variety, due to the bioactive effects conferred by methyl glyoxal (MGO). Several NZ meaderies produce Mānuka mead, being a unique NZ product with significant marketing potential; however, it has not been explored in the scientific literature, and MGO has never been quantified in mead of any type. Thus, a versatile HPLC method for the quantification of MGO in both Mānuka mead and honey has been developed, optimised and validated.

Honey has long been recognized for its antimicrobial properties, attributed to components such as polyphenols and biodefense proteins. Among honey types, Manuka honey, rich in methylglyoxal, and citrus honey, abundant in flavonoids and bioactive enzymes, exhibit potent antimicrobial activity. This study aims to enhance the antimicrobial and antibiofilm efficacy of Manuka and citrus honey by incorporating natural additives-aloe vera, Indian costus, and mint essential oil-into cream formulations.

Functional dyspepsia (FD) and gastroparesis (GP) are clinically managed as distinct upper gastrointestinal conditions but present with symptoms that are often indistinguishable. FD is a common disorder of gut-brain interaction that negatively impacts quality of life, while GP is considered a rare disease exclusively defined by delayed gastric emptying and symptoms. The degree of overlap between these disorders makes them hard to differentiate in clinical practice, thereby impacting treatment decisions.
