Haemangioma Successfully Treated in a Bitch with Mercurius solubilis: A Case Report
Homœopathic Links DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1715569Conventional medical therapy for haemangioma usually consists of corticosteroids through oral administration, intralesional injection or topical application. Recently, propranolol has demonstrated to offer advantages because its therapeutic efficacy is comparable and fewer adverse effects are observed. This benign vascular tumour is not always so complicated to have to be removed surgically and many others remit without treatment. However, sometimes the unexpected can happen and evolve unfavourably. For these situations, homeopathy can also be evaluated. Here is a case report o...

The electrochemical immunosensor for detection of prostatic specific antigen using quince seed mucilage-GNPs-SNPs as a green composite
In this study, a free label electrochemical immunosensor was prepared based on a new green platform for the quantitative detection of the PSA. The used platform was formed from quince seed mucilage containing green gold and silver nanoparticles and synthesized by the green method (using Calendula officinalis L. extract). The quince mucilage biopolymer was used as a sub layer to assemble nanoparticles and increase the electrochemical performance. This nanocomposite was used to increase the antibody loading and accelerate the electron transfer, which can increase the biosensor sensitivity. The antibodies of the PSA biomarker...

Homoeopathic Management of a Case of Severe Haemophilia Type A with Inhibitor Positive: Case Report
Homœopathic Links 2020; 33: 302-308 DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1718775Haemophilia is an X-linked inherited immunogenetic bleeding disorder resulting from deficiency of clotting Factor VIII (haemophilia A) or Factor IX (haemophilia B). Haemophilia patients suffer from complication of developing autoantibodies/inhibitor against clotting factors used for the treatment; most commonly patients are treated with Factor VIII replacement therapy. In modern medicine, haemophiliacs with inhibitor positive status are treated with bypassing agents such as Factor VIII inhibitor bypassing agent and immune tolerance induction therapy (ITI) beca...

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 24: Formulation of Topical Dosage Forms Containing Synthetic and Natural Anti-Inflammatory Agents for the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Pálma Fehér
Topical anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is of major interest because of their fewer side effects compared to oral therapy. The purpose of this study was to prepare different types of topical formulations (ointments and gels) containing synthetic and natural anti-inflammatory agents with different excipients (e.g.,: surfactants, gel-forming) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The combination of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), diclofenac sodium, a topical analgesic agent methyl salicylate, and a lyophilized extract of Calendula off...

18560 Phytochemical characterization and clinical evaluation of the efficacy of a topical product containing calendula petals and calendula extract
Background: Calendula officinalis has been used in traditional medicine to help relieve skin inflammatory and irritation. The present studies were performed to 1) analyze the presence of principal constituents known to be found in calendula flowers such as flavonoids and triterpenes, 2) evaluate the clinical efficacy of in reducing methyl nicotinate –induced irritation, and 3) improve early clinical signs of aging on a topical cream containing micronized calendula petals and extract.
