Patients and Methods: The Cross-Sectional Study carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Salahdeen general hospital in Tikrit city from 1st November 2022-30th January 2023. Patients diagnosed with PCOs depending based on the Rotterdam criteria. Participants were enrolled after all eligibility criteria were confirmed and informed consent completed. Sixty PCOS patients were selected as the PCOS group, while 30 healthy women matched for age with the PCOS patients were selected as the control group. Only 30 patients of them complete the follow up study and they agree to continue on metformin treatment during three months, the duration of the follow up. They take metformin 850 mg twice daily for three months and provide fasting blood samples on the second day of menstruation before and after treatment. The data collection done through: a designed closed and open-ended questionnaire, by using direct interviewing and Ultrasound examination, Laboratory examination. Myonectin, Luteinizing hormone (LH), Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH), and insulin were analysed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELIZA) technique from Biomeriuex. Data were analyzed using SPSS for Windows 7. Results: The level of myonectin decreased significantly in PCOS patients compare to control group. The level of blood glucose, Insulin, and HOMA-IR, were increased significantly compared to the control. Serum LH levels were significantly higher, while the level of FSH were lowerin in women with PCOS than in controls. After metformin intake, all patients showed significant in decrease in gremlin concentration at p-values 0.05, but no significant difference (P>0.05) in myonectin level when compared to pre-treatment.

Depending on whether the crosslink connections are chemical or physical, hydrogels can be categorised into two groups. Physical networks feature temporary junctions that result from either polymer chain entanglements or physical interactions like ionic contacts, hydrogen bonds, or hydrophobic interactions, as opposed to chemically crosslinked networks, which have permanent junctions. Swellable polymeric polymers called hydrogels have received a lot of attention as potential drug delivery system carriers. These biomaterials have drawn attention because of their unusual properties, such as swelling in aqueous media, sensitivity to pH and temperature, or sensitivity to other stimuli. Because they are made of biocompatible materials, hydrogels are known to protect drugs from the in vivo environment, particularly peptides and proteins. Moreover, these swelling polymers are useful as tissue-specific targetable carriers for bioactive medicines. This article provides a summary of the developments in hydrogel-based drug delivery that have captured the attention of the majority of researchers.","PeriodicalId":244449,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Research Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124972848","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}

Unfortunately, TB is still one of the top 10 infectious diseases that kill people worldwide, second only to HIV, despite advances in detection and treatment. The World Health Organization (WHO) claims that TB is an international pandemic. It is the main cause of death for those with HIV. In India, the fight against TB has largely been divided into three eras throughout its history: the early era, before the development of x-ray and chemotherapy; the post- independence era, when national TB control programmes were started and put into place; and the current era, when an ongoing WHO-assisted TB control programme is in place.

A new anti-tuberculosis (TB) medication called delamanid, a nitroimidazo-oxazole derivative, has strong in-vitro and in- vivo antitubercular action against drug-susceptible and -resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. With intention to propose the most probable mechanism of action of delamanid the docking based computational analysis has been performed against enyl ACP reductase (InhA) as targeted protein.

Terbutaline sulfate is a selective beta2 adrenergic agonist. It is highly selective for β2 adrenergic receptors and has a long-lasting effect. It is given for symptomatic relief of bronchospasm and obstructive airway disease. Terbutaline sulfate is effective when taken orally, subcutaneously, or by inhalation. Although effects are rapidly observed after inhalation, the use of inhaled sympathomimetic drugs is initially associated with possible tachyphylaxis of resistance to beta-agonists, cardiac arrhythmias due to β1-adrenergic receptor stimulation, and Freon propellants. Raised concerns about hypoxemia and arrhythmia due to fluorinated hydrocarbons in many patient groups, including the elderly, children, the mentally ill, and uncooperative or nauseous patients, have difficulty swallowing conventional dosage forms such as tablets. Swallowing conventional tablets is further hampered by conditions such as water unavailability, allergic reactions, and coughing fits. These problems can be overcome by developing rapidly disintegrating and dissolving tablet dosage forms for oral administration, as they dissolve in saliva and do not require water to be swallowed. When ingested, saliva serves to quickly dissolve the dosage form. A fast mouth dissolving tablet (FMDT) is an oral solid dosage form that dissolves rapidly when placed on the tongue, releasing a drug that dissolves or disperses in saliva and can be swallowed without the need for drinking water. Additionally, some of the saliva-soluble drugs from the mouth, throat, and esophagus are absorbed once saliva enters the stomach, increasing bioavailability by avoiding first-pass metabolism.","PeriodicalId":244449,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Research Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123393705","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}
