    Hereditary Multiple Exostosis with Malignant Transformation: Case Report

    Get PDF
    Introduction: In this work we will approach a clinical case of hereditary multiple exosthesis with malignant transformation. The pathogenesis of HMS is still unknown, and its clinical diagnosis, usually in the first decade of life, is associated with imaging exams. In cases of suspected malignancy, which is rare, the anatomopathological study is also used. Discussion: EHM, an autosomal dominant disease with complete penetration, is the most common skeletal development abnormality. It is usually easy to diagnose due to the age group of those affected, and clinical characteristics, such as short stature and osteoarticular deformities. In the case of atypical forms and rare hypotheses of malignancy, more sophisticated imaging and anatomopathological exams are needed to conclude the diagnosis. Treatment is expectant, or surgical when there is compromised quality of life and tumor malignancy. Conclusion: HMS is a common bone disease and rarely becomes malignant. However, it is extremely important to detect this abnormality, based on physical examination and imaging exams, to establish the correct early treatment, and thus prolong the survival and quality of life of patients affected by it

    Needles of Innovation: Overcoming Unprecedented Challenges in Transdermal Drug Delivery with Microneedles

    Drug delivery through the skin offers distinct advantages, including bypassing the liver\u27s initial metabolism, maintaining consistent drug levels in the blood, and ensuring safety and adherence to treatment, which surpasses traditional oral or injectable methods. Microneedle technology has emerged as a revolutionary approach in this regard, offering enhanced delivery efficiency and patient acceptance. The main obstacle to transdermal administration, however, is the fact that only a small number of strong medications with optimal physicochemical characteristics can intercellularly and passively diffuse across skin barriers to reach therapeutic concentration using this method. Innovative strategies have been pursued to improve the drug\u27s skin penetration. Microneedles, a microscale physical enhancement technique, have expanded the spectrum of medications that may be delivered transdermally and intradermally. These microneedles are usually between 0.1 and 1 mm in length, offering a minimally invasive yet highly effective method for drug administration. This review discusses the challenges associated with microneedle based TDDS, including formulation issues, skin permeability, and manufacturing complexities.We highlight recent advancements in microneedle design, materials, and fabrication techniques, shedding light on their potential to overcome these hurdles. One may create solid, coated, hollow, or dissolvable microneedles using a range of materials, including silicon, stainless steel, and polymers. Despite extensive research, several obstacles hinder the long-term, cost-effective production, and effectiveness of microneedles for transdermal drug delivery. This analysis identifies gaps in production technology and reviews characterization techniques. Microneedles show promise in various applications, including medicine delivery, vaccination administration, illness diagnosis, and cosmetics, indicating their versatility and wide-ranging potential

    In-Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Piper Guineense Extracts and their Silver Nanoparticles Against Bacterial from Gastrointestinal Tract

    Get PDF
    The study investigates the in-vitro antibacterial activity of greenly synthesized silver nanoparticles from Piper guineeseleave (PgMLE) and seed (PgMSE) methanol extracts. The greenly synthesized silver nanoparticles from leave (PgMLEAgNPs) and seed (PgMSEAgNPs) extracts were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR, SEM, TEM, XRD, EDX, and TGA, and the in-vitro antibacterial activity of the extracts and nanoparticles against test pathogens from gastrointestinal tracts was evaluated.The PgMLE and PgMSE bio-reduced silver nitrate solution for the biosynthesis of PgMLEAgNPs and PgMSEAgNPs. The nanoparticles had the highest Surface plasmon resonance peaks at 500 nm. Functional groups such as alcohols, phenols, alkenes or alkynes, nitriles, ketones, aldehydes, or esters were identified as indicative of biomolecules present within PgMLEAgNPs, and PgMSEAgNPs. PgMLEAgNPs and PgMSEAgNPs were spherical flakelike and aggregated particles respectively with 15 nm in size, TEM shows the spherical shape nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were crystalline in nature and silver had the highest intensity as shown by XRD and EDX analysis. PgMLEAgNPs and PgMSEAgNPs exhibited varied antibacterial activity against the test pathogens. The antibacterial activity ranged from 2.00 to 18.00 mm in which E. coli had the highest susceptibility to PgMSEAgNPs compared to PgMLEAgNPs. The nanoparticles had better antibacterial efficacy against the test pathogens compared to the Piper guineense leaves and seed extracts. In conclusion, Piper guineense leave and seed extract nanoparticles had profound antibacterial activity against bacteria from GIT which makes them a candidate for biomedical application

    Gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer are the most common disorders and the leading cause of death worldwide. Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that has been related to stomach inflammation, Peptic Ulcer, as well as gastric cancer. The current study sought to identify natural inhibitors of the Crystal Structure of Carboxyspermidine Dehydrogenase in a complex with Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (PDB ID: 8H52). Natural inhibitors appear to be a potential treatment strategy for inhibiting H. Pylori. 1102 Bioactive compounds from significant traditional medicinal herbs were selected. The initial selection results were based on the physicochemical, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) traits and other drug-like traits. Binding energy calculations and interaction analysis were applied to identify safe and efficient results. 17 Bioactive compounds were found with binding affinities between -7.8 Kcal/mol and -9.9 Kcal/mol. Among 17; curcumin pyrazole, scoparol, tryptanthrin and 4�-O-methylcatechin displayed effective interactions with docking scores of -9.9 Kcal/mol, -9.6 Kcal/mol, 9.5 Kcal/mol, and -9.5 Kcal/mol respectively compared to the control drug Omeprazole (-8.8 Kcal/mol). Molecular dynamic simulation revealed that 4'-O-methyl catechin is stable inside the binding pocket 8H52 and can be used as a potential therapeutic agent to cure intestinal disorders
