To manage diabetes, patients need totake medication regularly, and the buccal patch has become a promising drug delivery option for this purpose. This review articlehighlights the potential of buccal patches as a novel approach to enhance patient compliance in treating diabetes mellitus. Byexploring the advantages of buccal patches as a non-invasive drug delivery system, this article emphasizes their potential to improvemedication adherence, thereby contributing to better management of diabetes mellitus. This article aims to evaluate the role ofbuccal patches in improving patient compliance in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. With the increasing global burden of diabetes,ensuring patient adherence to medication regimens is crucial for achieving optimal therapeutic outcomes. Traditional treatmentmethods often require frequent injections or oral administrations, which may lead to poor compliance due to various factors suchas fear of injections, inconvenience, or forgetfulness. Reviewing the literature on buccal patches as an alternative drug deliverysystem, this article explores their advantages in enhancing patient compliance. Buccal patches adhere to the inner lining of thecheek, providing a convenient and non-invasive route of drug administration. This approach eliminates the need for injections andreduces the frequency of oral medication intake, improving patient acceptance and adherence to treatment regimens. Furthermore,this article highlights the potential of buccal patches in delivering medications directly into the systemic circulation through thehighly vascularized oral mucosa. By bypassing first-pass metabolism in the liver, buccal patches can achieve higher drugconcentrations and improve therapeutic effects. Presenting the benefits of buccal patches for diabetes treatment encourages furtherresearch and development. So, the conclusion of this article is to promote awareness among healthcare professionals and patientsabout the potential of buccal patches as a patient-friendly approach to enhance compliance in the management of diabetes mellitus.","PeriodicalId":44665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Pharma Research","volume":"54 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135454968","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}

In addition, these primers also amplify nonspecific multiple bands along with specific amplification. The current study aims to explore the structure, role and reason for nonspecific bands in the amplification. The genomic DNA-degenerate PCR method was used to isolate the NBS-LRR type R-genes in Drimia species (synonym Urginea). Agarose gel electrophoresis was carried out for separation and visualization of amplified bands. The kit-based gel extraction method was followed to purify the PCR bands. Purified PCR bands were subjected to TA cloning. The plasmids which contain desired PCR bands were sequenced using the Sanger sequencing method. Multiple sequence alignment tool CLUSTALW was used to align sequences and MISA-Web tool was used to identify simple sequence repeats (SSR). The results of the study revealed that multiple sequence analysis of PCR bands of 600bp/500bp showed random deletions, presence of indels and frameshift mutations in the alignment. The sequence alignment also showed monomorphic sites between two sequences. Both 600 and 500bp were devoid of simple sequence repeats and the ORF finder confirmed the presence of irregular stop codons in the 600 bp sequences. The multiple sequence alignment tool was used in disclosing the structure and ancestor relationship between aligned Drimia sequences. The current study would help to explore pseudo genes in the genome of Drimia and to differentiate the orthologous and paralogous relationships in the sequences.","PeriodicalId":44665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Pharma Research","volume":"2 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135220102","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}

It is also an important prognostic indicator and follow-up tool in managing ovarian malignancies. A moderate increase in CA125 levels is observed in physiological conditions like ovulation and benign conditions like endometriosis and PID. We present here a case of extremely elevated serum CA 125 level in a patient who presented with recurrent ovarian endometriosis. Mrs. X, 46 years old, presented with a complex ovarian cyst with CA 125 level- 1021 iu/ml. With a history of laparotomy for endometriotic cysts in the past. Intraoperatively bilateral complex ovarian cysts were identified, which were densely adherent to the lateral pelvic wall and rectum posteriorly. The ovarian cysts were excised with a hysterectomy. The Patient developed dribbling of urine on the third postoperative day. CT urogram revealed a right ureterovaginal fistula. Laparotomy done. Uretero ureteral anastomosis done by a urologist. The Postoperative patient remained dry. Histopathological evaluation revealed benign endometriosis. Extensive and aggressive surgeries are usually done for ovarian malignancies to provide optimal reduction. However, in our patient, risk assessment for malignancy based on radiological factors and tumor markers was highly suggestive of malignancy. Yet, the histopathology turned out to be benign endometriosis. Therefore, to avoid invasive investigations and surgeries associated with high morbidity, emphasis must be made on the possibility of raised CA 125 levels in benign conditions such as endometriosis.","PeriodicalId":44665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Pharma Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45360273","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 study's objectives include designing a Panchakarma questionnaire module to assess the knowledge and awareness of ASHA workers of Wardha Taluka and sensitizing ASHA workers about Panchakarma procedures with the help of demonstration videos and lectures on Panchakarma. The work was planned to be conducted at Anji and Waifad villages under Wardha taluka. A questionnaire consisting of 30 questions was prepared to assess the knowledge, awareness, and attitudes regarding Panchakarma. Panchakarma's knowledge, awareness, and attitudes were analyzed using pre-and post-test scores. ASHA will be a facilitator for promoting awareness in the community about Panchakarma. The study concluded that the intervention of the Panchakarma module was highly influential in enhancing knowledge about Panchakarma among ASHA workers. In the future, this Panchakarma module will enable people in the community to accept the Panchakarma therapy in Ayurveda. ASHA will provide more referral services of panchakarma therapy to patients by encouraging them to undergo these therapies.
