    Abstract Viral infections represent a significant threat to global health due to their highly communicable and potentially lethal nature. Conventional antiviral interventions encounter challenges such as drug resistance, tolerability issues, specificity concerns, high costs, side effects, and the constant mutation of viral proteins. Consequently, the exploration of alternative approaches is imperative. Therefore, nanotechnology-embedded drugs excelled as a novel approach purporting severe life-threatening viral disease. Integrating nanomaterials and nanoparticles enables ensuring precise drug targeting, improved drug delivery, and fostered pharmacokinetic properties. Notably, nanocrystals (NCs) stand out as one of the most promising nanoformulations, offering remarkable characteristics in terms of physicochemical properties (higher drug loading, improved solubility, and drug retention), pharmacokinetics (enhanced bioavailability, dose reduction), and optical properties (light absorptivity, photoluminescence). These attributes make NCs effective in diagnosing and ameliorating viral infections. This review comprises the prevalence, pathophysiology, and resistance of viral infections along with emphasizing on failure of current antivirals in the management of the diseases. Moreover, the review also highlights the role of NCs in various viral infections in mitigating, diagnosing, and other NC-based strategies combating viral infections. In vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies evident for the effectiveness of NCs against viral pathogens are also discussed.

    Abstract Reports have shown the association of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with several neuromuscular disorders. Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease in which antibodies bind to acetyl choline receptors in the postsynaptic membrane at the neuromuscular junction. The characteristic clinical feature of the disease is weakness of the ocular muscle, bulbar muscle, and extremity muscles; when the weakness is limited to the ocular muscle only, the condition is known as ocular myasthenia gravis. Diagnosis is usually confirmed by the acetylcholine receptor antibodies. Symptoms of MG may be aggravated by various types of infections and medications. Here, we are presenting a rare case of a new and acute onset of ocular MG presented after administration of Covishield vaccine.

    Abstract Wilson disease, a rare genetic disorder resulting from mutations in the ATP7B gene disrupts copper metabolism, leading to its harmful accumulation in hepatocytes, the brain, and other organs. It affects roughly 1 in 30,000 individuals, with 1 in 90 being gene carriers. Beyond gene mutations, the disease involves complex factors contributing to copper imbalance. Ongoing research seeks to unravel intricate molecular pathways, offering fresh insights into the disease's mechanisms. Simultaneously, there is a dedicated effort to develop effective therapeutic strategies. Nanotechnology-driven formulations are showing promise for both treatment and early diagnosis of Wilson disease. This comprehensive review covers the entire spectrum of the condition, encompassing pathophysiology, potential biomarkers, established and emerging therapies, ongoing clinical trials, and innovative nanotechnology applications. This multifaceted approach holds the potential to improve our understanding, diagnosis, and management of Wilson's disease, which remains a challenging and potentially life-threatening disorder.

    Abstract Episiotomy dehiscence because of infection is a cause of major physical, psychological and social problems. Management depends on the degree of injury. The loco-regional flap can be considered in recurrent dehiscence with loss of tissue. We report a case of a 26-year-old female who presented with a post episiotomy wound in the perineal region extending from the posterior fourchette to the anal opening. She gave the history of resuturing of dehiscence twice but the result was the same. On examination, there was a loss of skin and subcutaneous tissue between vaginal and anal opening with pouting of the anal and vaginal mucosa. Per rectal examination, the anal tone was normal. Her wound was covered with bilateral inferiorly based labia majora flaps with a good outcome. So, an inferiorly based labia majora flap can be a useful option in coverage of recurrent perineal dehiscence.

    Abstract The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has infected over 1.5 million individuals and led to over 91, 000 deaths in the United States (US) alone as of May 20th, 2020. Minority populations, however, continue to be a high-risk population to contract the SARS-CoV-2 infection. While socioeconomic inequality may help to explain why minority ethnic populations are contracting the SARS-CoV-2 in larger proportions, the reason for elevated mortality rates in African Americans is still unknown. African Americans are less likely than whites to utilize high-quality hospitals, ambulatory care services, and regular primary care providers; this is most likely a result of barriers to accessing high quality treatment, as African Americans have substantially higher uninsured rates. However, previous reports have shown that regardless of insurance status, African Americans are more likely to be directed toward lower quality treatment plans compared to their white counterparts, and that physicians carry implicit biases that negatively impact treatment regimens for these minority populations. While income, education, and access to healthcare should be revised in due time, in the short term physicians should do everything possible to learn about implicit biases that may exist in healthcare, as the first step to minimize implicit biases is to recognize that they exist.
