Background: Psoriasis is a genetically predisposed autoimmune disease mediated by cytokines released by the activated immune cells. It manifests inflammatory, scaly red or white silvery flaky skin which may be a fluid-filled lesion with soreness and itchiness. The prevalence rate of psoriasis is increasing day by day. Despite having such a high prevalence rate, the treatment of psoriasis is still limited. Hence, there is a need to rethink the various treatment strategies available in the allopathic as well as in the alternative systems of medicine. Methods: Various bibliographic databases of previously published peer-reviewed research papers were explored and systematic data culminated in terms of various treatment strategies used for the management of psoriasis. The prime focus is given towards modern as well as alternative systems of medicine such as phototherapy, a combination of phototherapy with pharmacotherapy such as Ayurveda, Yoga and naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy to treat psoriasis. Results: A comprehensive review of 161 papers, including both research and review articles, was carried out to make the article readily understandable. The pathogenesis including inflammatory mediators and type of psoriasis is discussed before the treatment strategies to understand the pathophysiology of the disease. The uniqueness, procedure, advantages, and limitations of conventional, advanced, and traditional systems of medicine to treat psoriasis are discussed in detail. Emphasis has also been given towards marine sources such as fish oil, marine sponges, and algae. Conclusion: Although there are many modern and alternative treatment strategies available to treat psoriasis, none of them have been proven to provide complete relief to patients. Moreover, they are associated with certain side effects. In order to overcome them, novel drug delivery systems have been utilized and found effective; however, their stability and safety become the major impediments towards their successful positioning. Traditional and alternative treatment strategies have found to be safe and effective but their use is localized to certain areas. In a nutshell, to achieve successful treatment of psoriasis, there is a need to focus on the development of stable and non-toxic novel drug delivery systems or the promotion of traditional systems to treat psoriasis.

Methods Of Treatment

: Mutations and their manifestations in the form of various diseases and disorders result in Cancer which is a major cause of human death worldwide. A considerable amount of information is available at the cellular, molecular and genetic level about the occurrence and spread of the precarious cancer and yet there is no cure. The traditional methods of treatment such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical intervention have shown to be moderately effective and keep some types of cancer under control but each modality has its own advantages and disadvantages. In recent years, more advanced methods such as targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and precision medicine are shown to be promising and these fields continue to expand rapidly along with the conventional methods. This review focuses on the reports of advanced methods of treatment from a scientific standpoint to recognize many new and modern approaches. Selective targeting of the tumour cells by nanoparticle based novel drug delivery approaches, includes latest innovations in their preparation strategies and applications. The concept of precision medicine and its impact on treatment are highlighted here with a hope of individualised therapy with minimum side effects as a part of ever-expanding treatment strategies. Additional challenges related to cancer treatment like multi-drug resistance and toxicity are also deliberated in brief. Based on the available reports and scientific evidence, better targeted approaches with better quality clinical outcomes and more precise drug delivery to fit individual treatment needs are anticipated in the near future to control this deadly disease.

Experience Difficulty

Oral route is presently the gold standard in the pharmaceutical industry where it is regarded as the safest, most economical and most convenient method of drug delivery resulting in highest patient compliance. Over the past three decades, orally disintegrating tablets (FDTs) have gained considerable attention due to patient compliance. Usually, elderly people experience difficulty in swallowing the conventional dosage forms like tablets, capsules, solutions and suspensions because of tremors of extremities and dysphagia. In some cases such as motion sickness, sudden episodes of allergic attack or coughing, and an unavailability of water, swallowing conventional tablets may be difficult. One such problem can be solved in the novel drug delivery system by formulating “Fast dissolving tablets” (FDTs) which disintegrates or dissolves rapidly without water within few seconds in the mouth due to the action of superdisintegrant or maximizing pore structure in the formulation. The review describes the various formulation aspects, superdisintegrants employed and technologies developed for FDTs, along with various excipients, evaluation tests, marketed formulation and drugs used in this research area.

Disease Location

Psoriasis is one of the most stern and persistent autoimmune disease which affects about 1-3% population around the globe.  It influences an individual’s life quality by hindering them physically, socially and emotionally. The hyperproliferation of keratinocytes leads to excessive growth of skin cell which causes scaling and formation of plaques. Psoriasis can be mild moderate or severe depending on the percentage of skin area affected. Based on severity of the disease, location and the type of psoriasis, the treatment approaches can vary. Treatment regimens for psoriasis include topical therapies, systemic therapies and phototherapy. Conventional drug delivery approaches face various disadvantages therefore a need for better novel drug delivery system is required. The review paper focuses at providing a broad aspect of psoriasis and the novel treatment approaches which can help in tackling the disease.

Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid are two of the most commonly prescribed antibacterial worldwide for treating oral infectious diseases. Oral health is of big importance for well-being and general health. A few novel drug delivery systems were designed for oral treatment and prophylaxis of different diseases in the oral cavity. This work focused on the latest drug delivery development of the most common oral pathologies, namely, periodontitis, oral mucosal infections, dental caries and oral cancer. Herein we reveal the synthesis, characterization and application of chitosan nanoparticles for intracellular transport of the weakly cell-penetrating amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in order to improve their efficacy on bacterial infections.
