Situs inversus totalis (SIT) alludes to a turned-around area of the stomach and thoracic organs. The heart is found on the correct side of the chest (dextrocardia) with a total inversion of the heart chambers. The ordinary pulmonary anatomy is additionally turned around, so the cleared-out lung has three flaps and the proper lung has two flaps. In addition, the liver and gallbladder are found on the cleared-out side of the guts, though the spleen and stomach are found on the proper side. The remaining internal structures are moreover a reflected picture of the typical. This natural irregularity is outstandingly remarkable with a pace of one case in 10,000 births. SIT might be a phenomenal intrinsic irregularity that stances unique difficulties amid careful organization. Preoperative organizing, counting imaging and the mindful idea of careful techniques, are fundamental for powerful outcomes in SIT patients with gastric disease. The use of laparoscopic and automated procedures has seemed, by all accounts, to be secure and practical in this calm people. Advanced research is expected to push ahead the comprehension of the aetiology and optimal organization of SIT patients with gastric disease. SIT could be a remarkable innate eccentricity that stances unique difficulties during careful organization.

The condition arises from a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme arylsulfatase A (ARSA) or its associated sphingolipid activator protein B (SapB), resulting in a progressive decline in both motor and cognitive functions. Mutations in the ARSA and PSAP genes lead to the deficiency of ARSA and SapB proteins, respectively, with the clinical severity of metachromatic leukodystrophy depending on the residual ARSA activity, which varies based on the mutation type. Unfortunately, effective treatments for this disease are currently lacking. While there have been clinical reports of bone marrow or cord blood transplants, their therapeutic efficacy remains insufficient to prevent the worsening of neurological disorders. Encouraging results have been achieved through gene therapy, involving the introduction of the wild-type ARSA gene using vectors based on different adeno-associated virus serotypes. Additionally, mesenchymal stem cells and combined gene-cell therapies have shown promise in the treatment of this condition. This review examines therapeutic approaches for addressing metachromatic leukodystrophy, alongside diagnostic techniques and animal models that help evaluate the effectiveness of new treatments.","PeriodicalId":351381,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Pharmacy Practices","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139150185","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}

Oral health depends on the oral microbiome, which is a complex community of bacteria that live in the mouth. Dysbiosis is an imbalance in the mouth bacteria community. Mouth diseases start and get worse because of dysbiosis. This abstract talk about different ways to change the mouth microbiome to restore a healthy mix of microorganisms and improve oral health. Probiotics, prebiotics, and antimicrobial drugs are used to introduce good microorganisms, specifically boost the growth of good bacteria, and get rid of bad microorganisms. Probiotics can fight harmful bacteria, increase the range of good bacteria, and boost the immune responses of the host. Prebiotics provide food for the good bacteria in your mouth, which helps them grow and slows the spread of pathogens. Antimicrobial drugs target and kill only harmful microorganisms, lowering the number of bacteria and stopping biofilms from forming. Another new approach is phage treatment, which uses bacteriophages to kill only harmful bacteria while keeping the good bacteria in the environment. Phages can be used instead of standard antibiotics, especially as bacteria become more resistant to antibiotics. In the end, changing the oral microbiome for medicinal purposes could help avoid and treat oral illnesses. Probiotics, prebiotics, antimicrobial drugs, phage treatment, and host immune modulation techniques are all ways to restore a healthy balance of microorganisms in the oral area. More study and development in this area could change the way people take care of their teeth and make it easier to treat oral illnesses.","PeriodicalId":351381,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Pharmacy Practices","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129546823","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}

Meconium is a sticky material composed of denuded intestinal epithelium cells, bile acid, amniotic fluid, swallowed lanugo hair, digestive enzymes, water and mucus. Post-term infants are more likely to have meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF). Meconium aspiration syndrome, a leading cause of severe illness and death in newborns, occurs in about 5 per cent to 10 per cent of births. Case study: A newborn male baby was admitted to the Neonatal Care Unit with the chief complaints of Term, vacuum extraction and thick MSAF and Respiratory Distress skin colour was found to be dark green in the chest and dorsal limb of the body. Breath sound was found to be abnormal with grunting sounds on examination with a stethoscope. The patient’s Clinical symptoms include the appearance of skin colour, and breath sound and Chest radiography shows the diagnosis of Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS). The patient was treated with O2 through nasal continuous positive airway pressure, fluid management was based on daily body weight and antibiotics like ampicillin and gentamicin was administered at the time of admission. The Patients caretaker was advised to Kangaroo mother care and direct breastfeeding. Conclusion: Over the years, medication and care for newborns with meconium aspiration have evolved and changed. Prophylactic antibiotic therapy in MAS does not change the prognosis of patients. In newborns with extreme and recurrent hypoxemia caused by MAS, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been utilised as a last-resort therapy. Nevertheless, there are still several techniques for preventing and treating meconium aspiration syndrome; therefore research should continue to diminish illness and death caused by Meconium aspiration syndrome.","PeriodicalId":351381,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Pharmacy Practices","volume":"257 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114696707","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}
