Eye is very sensitive organ of our system so the care is very important. The task of the visual system is a big one. This system must have an almost innumerable amount of available information and extract only the useful information. Most important special sense in human being is the vision. For normal physical, mental, psychological development and education, vision should be normal. The aim of this review is to evaluate the ocular morbidity in the population of Uttarakhand. This study is a literature review of published studies from 2013 to 2017, held in the different journal and article and websites. Refractive error was the commonest ocular morbidity followed by disorders of conjunctiva, congenital malformations of eye, disorders of eyelid, lacrimal system and orbit, injury of eye and orbit, superficial injury of eye, disorders of sclera, cornea, iris and ciliary body, disorders of choroid and retina and presence of functional implant. Most common complaint among children was watering of the eye followed by discharge from eyes, redness of eye and headache, diminished vision, itching and inability to see clearly in dim light. Prevalence of ocular morbidity was significantly associated with age. Commonest causes of injury were contact lens wear, road traffic accidents, sports playing & recreational activities and occupational. Delay in presentation was associated with complications. Stable intervention programs targeting refractive errors, allergic conjunctivitis, infections of lid and adnexa and trauma are used to decrease the burden of ocular morbidity.","PeriodicalId":233230,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Pharmacy And Health Research","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132914777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The distance r, between the antibiotics and the protein was obtained according to FRET which pointed at a successful formation of a drug – protein complex. Molecular docking study provided possible binding sites of antibiotics within the proteins.

Diclofenac has chosen as an active pharmaceutical ingredient which have tendency to cause acidity or GI irritation when comes in contact with GI fluid. Avoidance of such side effect is one of the motives of this research. Administration of Diclofenac trans dermally will avoid to get contact with GI fluid as well as avoid GI irritation.

Almotriptan malate is used as anti-migraine drug and reported to have the best-sustained pain free rate and the lowest adverse events rate of all the triptans and thus making interest in the development of new route for the therapeutic administration of the drug, So, the present research work was aimed to develop matrix type transdermal patches using polymers HPMC K15M, ERS100 and EC and plasticizers DBP and PEG400 by solvent casting method. This formulation would help to avoid non-compliance of the tablet dosage form The IR spectra of the drug and physical mixtures of drug-polymer confirmed the absence of incompatibility between drug and polymers. The in-vitro drug release studies revealed that patches made of HPMC K15M-ERS 100 with DBP as plasticizer was considered as the best formulation and incorporated in 2 factorial design and evaluated for further studies. The concentration of HPMC K 15M and ERS 100 are chosen as the independent variables. Drug content, %moisture absorption %, moisture loss, and cumulative % drug released at 12h are chosen as dependent variables. The drug release from transdermal patches followed zero order kinetics. Various physicochemical parameters of the patches were investigated. The current research work of transdermal patches of almotriptan malate may provide sustained delivery for prolonged periods in the management of migraine, which can be a good way to bypass the extensive hepatic first-pass metabolism.","PeriodicalId":233230,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Pharmacy And Health Research","volume":"2 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132238006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
