World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic on 11th March,2020. Without any exact cure or vaccine, this disease has certainly taken a toll of humanity. Computer-aided Drug Design (CADD) is the modern era simulator for aiding in finding cure before starting actual clinical trials in patients. We have not indulged into making a new drug but analysing the existing drugs as approved by FDA to find the possible cure options. Based on the above data from our study, we find that anti-inflammatory drugs like prednisone and anti-psychotic drugs can be used for targeting the spike glycoprotein of the SARS-CoV2 virus.

Abstract Clinical trials of typhoid conjugate vaccine (TCV) are ongoing in 4 countries. Early data confirm safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of typhoid conjugate vaccine, and early efficacy results are promising. These data support World Health Organization recommendations and planned country introductions. Forthcoming trial data will continue to inform programmatic use of typhoid conjugate vaccine.

Drug discovery and design is a tedious and lengthy process which takes enormous time, andwhen this process reaches it’s final stage that is the final stage of clinical trials 90% of thepromising drug candidates fail levying a huge financial burden of around $2-3bn on thedeveloper company. The drug failure not only incurs a financial loss to the company, but alsosmashes the hopes of the patients and families waiting for the successful approval of the drug.The scenario is even complicated when it comes to the drug approval for diseases likeAlzheimer’s. Computer aided drug design may help in the drug discovery process by slashingthe time required for searching the potential drug target through computer aided software andprograms. However the key to the success of the drug still lies in the understanding of themechanism of the cause of disease and prognosis. Computer aided drug design help in theselection and modification of leads out of number of hits available. The present study dealswith a case study of Intepridine an ambitious Axovant drug molecule which failed in the finalphase of clinical trials and was withdrawn from the market by Axovant the developer pharmacompany.

It has been almost two years since COVID-19, a disease caused by a new coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The entire scientific and medical community was put to the test during the following months to find the best therapeutic strategy to save lives. Although some antivirals and anti-inflammatory drugs are being tested in different clinical trials with some controversial results, this short review will focus on corticosteroids usefulness and ventilatory support principles, as they have become two essential therapeutic pillars for those patients who need hospital admission due to respiratory failure.

Kanker payudara merupakan penyebab utama kematian pada wanita. Data Global Cancer Observatory 2018 dari World Health Organization (WHO, 2020) menunjukkan kasus kanker yang paling banyak terjadi di Indonesia adalah kanker payudara, yakni 58.256 kasus atau 16.7% dari total 348.809 kasus kanker. Mamografi merupakan teknik yang paling umum digunakan dalam mendeteksi tumor payudara menggunakan sistem sinar-X dosis rendah. Ada beberapa tipe abnormalitas dalam citra mammogram, yaitu mikrokalsifikasi dan massa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan performa sistem Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) dalam mengklasifikasi tumor jinak dan tumor ganas dengan mengembangkan metode ekstraksi fitur menggunakan Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) dan metode klasifikasi menggunakan Support Vector Machine (SVM). Uji coba dilakukan dengan menggunakan database DDSM dengan 256 citra abnormal (95 tumor jinak dan 161 tumor ganas) menghasilkan nilai akurasi sebesar 83.59% dengan nilai sensitivitas dan spesifisitas 87.58% dan 76.84%. Selain itu, didapatkan nilai AUC sebesar 0.98%. Metode tersebut menunjukkan bahwa sistem memberikan hasil performa yang baik dalam mengklasifikasi tumor jinak dan tumor ganas.
