Xerostomia and Salivary Gland Hypofunction: From Pathophysiology to Nanotechnology‑Enabled Regenerative Therapies
Abstract: Xerostomia, the subjective sensation of oral dryness, is a common yet frequently underrecognized condition with multifactorial etiology and substantial consequences for oral and systemic health. Salivary gland hypofunction underlies many, but not all, cases and may result from medication use, head and neck radiotherapy, autoimmune disease, systemic illnesses, or age-related and hormonal changes. Persistent xerostomia impairs mastication, swallowing, speech, taste, and sleep, and predisposes to dental caries, periodontal disease, oral …

A Brief Overview of Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation, its Etiology, Clinical Manifestations, Pathophysiology, and Management
Abstract: DIC is the short form of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) may be defined as a generalized hypercoagulable state that leads to blood clotting in microvascular and macrovascular system of the body. This compromised blood flow, to multiple organs and tissues ultimately results in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome or MODS. DIC arise when the proteins that control blood clotting becomes overactive. Though it is a life threatening condition …

Nitric Oxide & Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase: A Glimpse on Biological Role
Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) is a multifunctional molecule having numerous physiological and pathophysiological functions. It is synthesized from L-arginine by three different isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which are categorized into two subtypes; constitutive nitric oxide synthase (cNOS) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Constitutive nitric oxide synthase (cNOS) is constitutively expressed in the cells, while inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is expressed within several hours after the stimulation of …

Top Ten Challenges—Heart Failure
Abstract: The definition of chronic heart failure (CHF) remains contentious, but has been described as left ventricular dysfunction with symptoms. Heart failure is not a diagnosis, but a complex of symptoms with evidence of ventricular disease and a specific etiology should be established. CHF requires life-long treatment and need a multidisciplinary approach. A structured system of care improves outcomes and quality of life. The management of CHF itself has improved in …
