EditorialView abstract PDF Full textOver the last years, nanotechnology has been introduced in our daily life. Nanotechnology may be able to part in a very range of applications, such as in nanomedicine, nanoelectronics, biomaterials energy production, and consumer product, etc. The application of nanotechnology for medical purposes has been termed nanomedicine and is defined as nanoscale tools (e.g., 1–1000 nm sized) for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases. The term nanomedicine appeared in the 1990s, and since then, has the potential to significantly improve some current treatments. Commonly, nanomedicines consist of active pharmaceutical ingredients such as small molecules or biologics packaged into nano-sized carriers made of excipients like lipids and polymers. By packaging drug in the particles, drug concentration in the target is maximize by passi..... ReadMore

Review ArticleView abstract PDF Full textSystemic Fungal infection of skin is also known as mycosis. Mycosis is a common fungal infection affecting human skin and causes different dermatophyte infections. Fungal infections is panic rate which presenting number of challenge to healthcare professionals. This rising rate is directly related to the growing population of immune compromised individuals thus results from changes in medical practice like use of immunosuppressive drugs and rigorous chemotherapy. Now there are modern aggressive treatment was used to control fungal infection in the body. The purpose of this review is to highlight the different novel diagnostic approaches for treatments for fungal infections...... ReadMore

Research ArticleView abstract PDF Full textHighly altered Body Mass Index (BMI) and hypertension are independent and reversible determinants for coronary artery disease. Hypolipidemia can prevent hyperlipidemic patients to be victim of coronary artery disease. This study was conducted to compare hypolipidemic effects of Niacin and Jujube fruit in primary as well as secondary hyperlipidemic patients. Study was conducted from November 2015 to February 2016 at Jinnah Hospital Lahore, Pakistan. Sixty participants were enrolled of both gender male and female hyperlipidemic patients age range from 20 to 70 years...... ReadMore

Research ArticleView abstract PDF Full textMycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (M. tuberculosis) infection is one of the most common and deadliest infection in present time and the main reason of mortality due to an infectious disease i.e. Tuberculosis (TB). Mycobacteriophage therapy is a novel study for controlling this bacterial infection. Mycobacteriophage are the member of a group of bacteriophages that infects Mycobacterium and are specific for their host. Infection on Mycobacterium result in their lysis making Mycobacteriophage a viable topic for study, the infection requires a number of proteins to lyse the cell wall core i.e. Mycolyl-arabinogalactan peptidoglycan complex of the bacterium and other layers of cell envelope. This review article highlights crucial points about lytic proteins synthesized by Mycobacteriophage Ms6 and the factors like pH, temperature, phage titre, e..... ReadMore

Review ArticleView abstract PDF Full textEfficient vaccines and delivery systems are required to prevent and control emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases in aquaculture. The failure is mainly due to the inability to design vaccines evoking appropriate immune responses. The use of nanoparticles has provided a tremendous opportunity to design vaccine delivery systems which are efficient in targeted delivery, providing stability to antigens and act as efficient adjuvants. This review provides an overview of the use of different nanoparticle systems for the delivery of fish vaccines...... ReadMore
