    Abstract Background: This study presents a comparative analysis of recently published guidelines to manage cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and cutaneous basal cell carcinoma (cBCC) within the United States (US).
    Methods: A PubMed database search was performed for the time period between June 1, 2016, and December 1, 2022. A comprehensive comparison was performed in the following clinical interest areas: staging and risk stratification, management of primary tumor and regional nodes with curative intent, and palliative treatment.
    Results: Guidelines from 3 organizations were analyzed: the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), and the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO). The guidelines used different methodologies to grade evidence, making comparison difficult. There was agreement that surgery is the preferred treatment for curative cBCC and cSCC. For patients ineligible for surgery, there was a consensus to recommend definitive radiation. AAD and NCCN recommended consideration of other topical modalities in selected low-risk cBCC. Postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) was uniformly recommended in patients with positive margins that could not be cleared with surgery and in patients with nerve invasion. The definition and extent of nerve invasion varied. All guidelines recommended surgery as the primary treatment in patients with lymph node metastases in a curative setting. The criteria used for PORT varied; NCCN and ASTRO used lymph node size, number of nodes, and extracapsular extension for recommending PORT. Both NCCN and ASTRO recommend consideration of systemic treatment along with PORT in patients with extracapsular extension. Conclusion: US guidelines provide contemporary and complementary information on the management of cBCC and cSCC. There are opportunities for research, particularly in the areas of staging, indications for adjuvant treatment in curative settings, extent of nerve invasion and prognosis, and the role of systemic treatments in curative and palliative settings.

    Abstract The Cosmetics used for beautification or enhancement of appearance are in high demand especially among the women but these products have deep dark side. Many additive chemicals in cosmetics like parabens, phthalates, polyethylene glycol, hydroquinone, resorcinol, 1,4 dioxane, trace heavy metals etc. are hazardous and pose a variety of health risks ranging from neurotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, carcinogenicity, endocrine disruption, reproductive disorders etc. Hence the safety of the cosmetics is an issue of prime concern. It is necessary to make people aware of cosmetic chemicals and their deleterious effects. The present study analyses the current scenario of cosmetic use in India, the behaviour of women consumers in Indian Cosmetic market in terms of age group using cosmetics, reasons for using cosmetics and expenditure on beauty products etc. The harmful chemical ingredients in cosmetics are discussed along with their adverse effects on health. The study is carried out with objective of making women aware of large number of toxic chemicals used in cosmetics and their negative health impacts. It will also draw attention of researchers and clinicians to investigate the likely causes of their negative consequences. A relatively new concept of green cosmetics is also mentioned, which are associated with less toxicity to human health and is suggested to be promoted and adopted by women.

    Abstract The present study is aimed at drawing attention and concern of the readers towards nefarious female foeticide problem in India. Female Foeticide is the death sentence to a girl even before her birth. The objectives of the study are met by analysing the problem of female foeticide by studying skewed sex ratio and child sex ratio in India and its states. The primary causes of female foeticide are addressed along with its adverse consequences on society. Study on the status of sex ratio in countries of world lists India at 4rth rank in most skewed sex ratio. Although sex ratio has improved recently yet child sex ratio is still the worst in India. The Northern Indian states & union territories have lowest sex ratio. The rural areas with less literacy have more sex ratio than urban areas with higher literacy. Indian government has taken many initiatives to promote girl child birth and enacted a number of laws to curb female foeticide, yet the immoral female foeticide is still in practice. Present study also suggests some measures to prevent this malpractice and hence empower the Women.

    Abstract Introduction: Cyclooxygenase (COX), in literature, known as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS), is an enzyme that is responsible for the formation of prostanoids, including thromboxane and prostaglandins from arachidonic acid. COX-1 does housekeeping activity, whereas COX- 2 induces inflammation. Continuous rise in COX-2 gives birth to chronic pain-associated disorders, i.e., arthritis, cardiovascular complications, macular degeneration, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. Despite their potent anti-inflammatory effects, the detrimental effects of COX-2 inhibitors coexist in healthy tissues. Non-preferential NSAIDs cause gastrointestinal discomfort, whereas selective COX-2 inhibitors exert higher cardiovascular risk and renal impairment on chronic use.
    Methods: This review paper covers key patents published between 2012-2022 on NSAIDs and coxibs, highlighting their importance, mechanism of action, and patents related to formulation and drug combination. So far, several drug combinations with NSAIDS have been used in clinical trials to treat chronic pain besides combating the side effects.
    Conclusion: Emphasis has been given on the formulation, drug combination, administration routesmodification, and alternative routes, i.e., parenteral, topical, and ocular DEPOT, improving its riskbenefit ratio of NSAIDs to improvise their therapeutic availability and minimize the adverse effects. Considering the wide area of research on COX-2 and ongoing studies, and future scope of view for the better use of the NSAIDs in treating debilitating disease-associated algesia.

    Abstract Introduction: A cell surface bile acid receptor TGR5 is expressed in various tissues, including the liver, kidney, intestine, and adrenal glands, causing its effect in each tissue to differ. A major role for TGR5 is to maintain blood sugar levels and increase in energy expenditure. These benefits make it a potential candidate for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic diseases.
    Area covered: This paper highlights recent advances in the development of potent steroidal and non-steroidal TGR5 agonists and the peer-reviewed scientific articles that have led to understanding the structure-activity relationship for TGR5 agonists (2012-2020). The review also discusses the clinical progress made by some TGR5 agonists over the past eight years.
    Expert opinion: In preclinical studies, TGR5 has been found to play a crucial role in GLP-1 secretion and has shown promise for weight loss, anti-diabetic outcomes etc. Semi synthetic and synthetic derivatives can be considered a potential avenue for discovering novel TGR5 agonists. Currently, few TGR5 agonists have reached the clinical trial stage, and, likely, soon novel TGR5 modulator will be discovered with fewer adverse effects. In silico studies can also be performed with various heterocyclic scaffolds to discover selective and safe TGR5 agonists.

    Abstract Point of Care Diagnostics (POCD) is quintessential in hospitals and the healthcare sector as the secants uplift the quality of medical care and the life of a patient by facilitating quick identification of the underlying pathological condition. Nanotechnology can provide opportunities and has potential in the development of new-age sensing/diagnostic tools. Owing to extraordinary features (e.g., higher density, effective catalysis, good conduction, biocompatibility, inertness, and greater surface-to-volume ratio), gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are frequently employed in POCT (Point-of-Care-Testing). Gold nanoparticles-based colorimetric methods are widely used in the rapid, sensitive, and selective detection of analytes/target molecules. AuNPs description is critical for their possible utility in prophylaxis, diagnostics, and treatment of an ailment. AuNPs interact with organic/inorganic target molecules to generate colorimetric shift that enables the accurate, precise, and subtle recognition of biologicals (e.g., microorganisms, cellular components, and proteins) and metal ions. This review focused on the need for AuNPs-based colorimetric application in prophylaxis, diagnostics, and treatment in healthcare and reviewed the future outlook of these AuNPs for biological applications. Different synthesis methods of AuNPs, their morphology, and characterization, including their surface functionalization, will be discussed in detail. AuNPs are very much preferable nanomaterials owing to exclusive optical, electrical, and photothermal features. AuNPs-based colorimetric biosensors are simple and possess great utility, yet these offer a robust technique to enable visual, quantitative analysis.

    Abstract Insulin, on oral administration, is very troublesome because of its limited bioavailability. The evolution of oral insulin delivery formulations is greatly desired for non-invasive therapy by overcoming its low bioavailability, GIT enzymatic deactivation, poor lipophilicity and low stability. Different approaches have been proposed to boost oral insulin bioavailability in insulin-delivery systems and emerging effective therapies by using nanoparticle formulation, nanocapsid, modified chitosan particles, polydopamine microcapsules and nanoliposomes. The present review includes patents and patent applications that were published between 2017 and January 2022.
