Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a catastrophic event resulting from external mechanical forces, leading to a variety of neurological impairments. The complexity and heterogeneity of injuries are among the major speculated reasons for various unmet clinical needs in the effective management of TBI. Brain damage due to TBI results in both primary and secondary injury mechanisms.

Osteoarthritis (OSA) is a prevalent joint disorder characterized by losing articular cartilage, primarily affecting the hip, knee and spine joints. The impact of OSA offers a major challenge to health systems globally. Therapeutic approaches encompass surgical interventions, non-pharmacological therapies (exercise, rehabilitation, behavioral interventions) and pharmacological treatments.

Article Synopsis
  • Naringenin (NRG) is effective against Candida albicans, a fungus that causes skin infections, and its formulation with ZnO nanomaterials enhances its antifungal properties.
  • The newly developed NRG-Zn nanocomposite shows improved skin permeation and retention compared to naringenin alone, resulting in better antifungal efficacy in laboratory tests and animal models.
  • The NRG-Zn-CS-Gel demonstrates significant reduction in fungal burden in infected mice, and histopathological analysis indicates healing and reduced inflammation, suggesting its potential as a treatment for skin infections.

Complexity associated with the aberrant physiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) makes its therapeutic targeting vulnerable. The underlying mechanisms of pathophysiology of TBI are yet to be completely illustrated. Primary injury in TBI is associated with contusions and axonal shearing whereas excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, free radicals generation, and neuroinflammation are considered under secondary injury.
