Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. (1,2) The exacerbated inflammatory response in COVID-19 infected critically ill patients calls for appropriate anti inflammatory therapeutics combined with antiviral effects. Thus, drugs combining anti-inflammatory and antiviral
The World Health Organization (W.H.O). defines oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) as "A histologically proven lesion that is associated with a significantly increased risk of malignant transformation."Oral leukoplakia is the most commonly occurring oral potentially malignant disorder.
Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder that complicates 3-5% of pregnancies and remains a major cause of maternal, fetal, and neonatal morbidity and mortality.(1)
Preeclampsia is characterized by the development of new onset hypertension (HTN) and the establishment of proteinuria. Other signs and
This is a simple controlled clinical trial. In which 66 eyes of 33 patients were studied. Fifteen patients were assigned to the placebo group and 18 to the Selenium group. We randomized into two groups the patients with mild clinical activity according to CAS score. Group A took placebo pills twice
The dogma over the past 3 decades, particularly in the field of sleep medicine, has been that intermittent hypoxia (IH) is a detrimental stimulus that leads to a number of co‐morbidities including autonomic (e.g. increased sympathetic nervous system activity), cardiovascular (e.g. hypertension,
Pregestational diabetes represents a high-risk for evolution of preeclampsia (PET), with rates of PET within this group at approximately 20%. The combination of diabetes and preeclampsia places the pregnancy at heightened risk for hypoxia and stillbirth. Placental dysfunction, due to disordered
The presence of bacterial plaque represents the principal etiologic factor involved in the initiation of inflammatory periodontal diseases and the destructive host responses triggered by microbial pathogens exaggerate the already existing condition resulting in connective tissue loss characterizing
Hookah (water pipe) smoking is a new global epidemic. The World Health Organization wants to prohibit all claims that hookah is less harmful than cigarettes and wants hookah products to bear the same warning labels as cigarettes. But there is little scientific evidence to substantiate this proposal.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an endogenously produced gas that play important physiological roles in the circulation. Traditionally considered a poisonous gas that causes tissue hypoxia, CO produced by vascular cells as a byproduct of heme catabolism, also functions to regulate blood flow by inhibiting
Asthma concerns about 7% of the French adult population. About 10% of them have uncontrolled disease, despite high doses of inhaled steroids combined with long acting beta 2 agonists and adequate management of aggravating factors. They account for considerable asthma morbidity, mortality and costs.
Herbal medicine products are dietary supplements that people take to improve their health. Many herbs have been used for a long time for claimed health benefits. They are sold as tablets, capsules, powders, beverages, extracts and fresh or dried plants. Herbal medicines have been associated with
Paracetamol and Ibuprofen each relieve pain with different mechanisms.
Paracetamol is termed a simple analgesic and an antipyretic. Despite enduring assertions that it acts by inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX)-mediated production of prostaglandins, unlike non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

Aspirin has an established role in the treatment of ACS and secondary prevention of ischaemic heart disease. In the landmark trial of aspirin in ACS, ISIS-2 (1988), it conferred a benefit of similar magnitude to thrombolysis. The addition of a second antiplatelet agent (a P2Y12 inhibitor) to aspirin
