Burns are a source of pain, which cannot be fully treated with medications.

This study aims is to test the effectiveness of lavender oil inhalation aromatherapy applied before dressing change on vital signs and pain levels of children with burns.

This randomized controlled study was held between May 2018 and May 2019. A total of 108 children who met the inclusion criteria were studied in three groups Lavender-15 Group inhaled lavender oil for 15 min before dressing (n36), Lavender-60 Group inhaled lavender oil for 60 min before dressing (n36), and Control Group inhaled jojoba (placebo) oil for 15 min before dressing (n36). Baseline pain levels and vital signs of the children were measured before inhalation. Pain levels and vital signs of the children were re-measured at the 1st and 30th minutes after dressing.

There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of pain levels (p = 0.750) and vital signs before dressing. In post-dressing measurements, the number of respiration (after 1 min p = 0.000, after 30 min p = 0.000), heart rate (after 1 min p = 0.000, after 30 min p = 0.000), mean arterial blood pressure (after 1 min p = 0.010, after 30 min p = 0.000) and pain levels (after 1 min p = 0.000, after 30 min p = 0.000) were lower in the Lavender groups compared to the placebo group.

The result of this research reveals that inhalation aromatherapy which applied before dressing in children with burns affects the reduction of pain levels and stabilization of vital signs.

Treatment of the underlying infection along with corticosteroid-mediated suppression of acute inflammation usually resolves infectious uveitis. However, to develop more effective therapies for non-infectious uveitis and to better address acute inflammation in infectious disease, an improved understanding of the underlying inflammatory pathways is needed. In this review, we discuss the disease aetiology, preclinical in vitro and in vivo uveitis models, the role of inflammatory pathways, as well as current and future therapies. In particular, we highlight the involvement of the inflammasome in the development of non-infectious uveitis and how it could be a future target for effective treatment of the disease.Fibrotic skin disorders, such as keloid disease (KD), are common clinically challenging disorders with unknown etiopathogenesis and ill-defined treatment strategies that affect millions of people worldwide. Thus, there is an urgent need to discover novel therapeutics. CPTinhibitor The validation of potential drug targets is an obligatory step in discovering and developing new therapeutic agents for the successful treatment of dermal fibrotic conditions, such as KD. The integration of multi-omics data with traditional and modern technological approaches, such as RNA interference (RNAi) and genome-editing tools, would provide unique opportunities to identify and validate novel targets in KD during early drug development. Thus, in this review, we summarize the current and emerging drug discovery process with a focus on validation strategies of potential drug targets identified in dermal fibrosis.Delivering transformative therapies to patients while maintaining growth in the pharmaceutical industry requires an efficient use of research and development (R&D) resources and technologies to develop high-impact new molecular entities (NMEs). However, increasing global R&D competition in the pharmaceutical industry, growing impact of generics and biosimilars, more stringent regulatory requirements, as well as cost-constrained reimbursement frameworks challenge current business models of leading pharmaceutical companies. Big data-based analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) approaches have disrupted various industries and are having an increasing impact in the biopharmaceutical industry, with the promise to improve and accelerate biopharmaceutical R&D processes. Here, we systematically analyze, identify, assess, and categorize key risks across the drug discovery and development value chain using a new risk map approach, providing a comprehensive risk-reward analysis for pharmaceutical R&D.In 2020, the anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) monoclonal antibody Humira® generated US$165.8 billion in cumulative sales and snatched the crown for the industry's most successful drug from Lipitor (atorvastatin). TNF-α is a major component in beneficial and disease-related inflammation and TNF-α-inhibitor biologics have gained widespread use in autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Many more diseases could benefit from TNF-α inhibitors, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) or major depression. However, the nature of TNF-α-inhibitor biologics prohibits central nervous system (CNS) applications. Moreover, high drug production costs and pricing, together with antidrug immune reactions and insufficient patient coverage, argue for the development of small-molecule drugs. Recently, drug-like orally available small molecules were described with high activity in animal disease models with activities comparable to those of antibodies.Quorum sensing (QS) offers cell density dependent dynamic regulations in cell culture through devices such as synchronized lysis circuit (SLC) and metabolic toggle switch (MTS). However, there is still a lack of studies on cocultivation with a combination of different QS-based devices. Taking the production of isopropanol and salidroside as case studies, we have mathematically modeled a comprehensive set of QS-regulated cocultivation schemes and constructed experimental combinations of QS devices, respectively, to evaluate their feasibility and optimality for regulating growth competition and corporative production. Glucose split ratio is proposed for the analysis of competition between cell growth and targeted production. Results show that the combination of different QS devices across multiple members offers a new tool with the potential to effectively coordinate synthetic microbial consortia for achieving high product titer in cross-feeding cocultivation. It is also evident that the performance of such systems is significantly affected by dynamic characteristics of chosen QS devices, carbon source control and the operational settings.
