ABSTRACT: The present investigation deals with development of orally disintegrating tablets of Rizatriptan Benzoate to produce the intended benefits. Orally disintegrating tablets of Rizatriptan Benzoate were prepared by wet granulation method to provide faster relief from pain to migraine sufferers. Formulation research is oriented towards safety, efficacy and quick onset of action of existing drug molecule through novel concept of drug delivery. About four formulations for the present study were carried out full factorial design. Kyron 314 was used as super disintegrants, while microcrystalline cellulose and mannitol was used as diluents. Starch was used as binder. The prepared batches of tablets were evaluated for weight variation, hardness, friability, wetting time, drug content and in-vitro dissolution studies. The optimized formulation dispersed in within 15 seconds. It also showed a higher water absorption ratio and 99.67% of drug is released within a minute.

ABSTRACT: 
The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones. The two most important hormones are tetraiodothyronine (thyroxine or T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).Iodine deficiency is a major health problem in India. Iodine deficiency that can lead to disorders like goiter, hypothyroidism and even brain damage. Even mild iodine deficiency in pregnant women can result in children being born with cretinism and mental retardation. The most popular method of tackling the problem has been to encourage the consumption of iodised salt. An iodine patch, designed like a regular bindi, is expected to help iodine deficiency. It seems like a brilliantly simply idea The wearing of bindis form part of a cultural practice of Indian Women, which are “self-adhesive” in between their eyebrows, have been impregnated with a solution of iodine.  Production costs are minimal, wearing the iodine-infused bindi requires no behavioral change.

ABSTRACT
Aging is one of the phases of individual’s life span, which everyone wants to escape. The process of aging is much more a social phenomena than biological phenomena. Aging brings many changes such as, loss of eyesight, hearing loss, dementia, etc. Aging may give rise to diseased states such as, heart disease, cancer, cerebrovascular disease (relating to blood vessels that supply the brain), pneumonia and flu, and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. The key-factor behind aging is the GDF11, i.e., Growth and Differentiation factor-11. GDF11 is also known as Bone Morphogenetic Factor-11 (BMP11). It is termed as key circulating ‘anti-aging’ factor. GDF11 is expressed in wide range of tissues and has been shown to play important roles in development of olfactory system, retina and pancreas. It functions in regulating anterior-posterior patterning of the axial skeleton muscle system. Scientists theorize that aging likely results from a combination of many factors viz., Lifestyle, Diseases and Genes. GDF11 is essential for mammalian development and has been suggested to regulate aging of multiple tissues, whereas myostatin is a well-described negative regulator of postnatal skeletal and cardiac muscle mass and modulates metabolic processes .

ABSTRACT:
The word “forensic” means “pertaining to the law”; forensic science resolves legal issues by applying scientific principles to them. Forensic Analysis is the application of Analysis to law enforcement or the failure of products or processes. It is unique among chemical sciences in that its research, practice, and presentation must meet the needs of both the scientific and the legal communities.Forensic Analysis applied the basic theory and mythology of advanced analytical chemistry to rationalize various materials of crimes and provide evidence to detection.Forensic Analysis is carried out by the two types of techniques namely Organic Analytical Technique &In- Organic Analytical Technique. And this review article covers regarding how Analytical techniques are useful in forensic analysis to resolve major problems of common man.

ABSTRACT: Design and development of herbal nanoparticles has become a frontier research in the nanoformulation arena. Curcumin, a hydrophobic polyphenol (diferuloyl methane) is a potent phytomolecule obtained from turmeric (Curcuma longa, Family-Zingiberaceae) has a wide range of biological activities in chronic diseases and has wide therapeutic efficacy. But the clinical application of curcumin was limited due to its poor water solubility, rapid metabolism and rapid elimination which ultimately results in poor bioavailability upon oral administration. Therefore introduction of nanotechnology provides a solution towards increased bioavailability of curcumin. In this review, an overview of curcumin nanoparticles is discussed.

ABSTRACT
Bromelain is a plant protease present in different parts of the pineapple [AnanasComosus (Linn.) Merr.]plant. It is an enzyme of high commercial interest which can be attributed to the wide therapeutic and industrial applications it possesses. As such efficient purification and recovery of the enzyme is utmost necessary on a large scale basis. The review highlights the numerous applications of the protease enzyme and further discusses the various purification techniques beginning from simpler ultrafiltration to the more complex and specific column chromatography that are being commonly employed nowadays. Effort has been made to compare the purification strategies extensively and suggest the best among the techniques which is cost-effective, has high output and can be used on a large scale production basis.

ABSTRACT
Dementia is a chronic progressive disorder mainly causes the memory loss and cognitive dysfunction due to neurodegeneration. It is popularly known as Alzheimer disease. It is the fifth disorder leads to death. Those who are the people have crossed age 60 years risk chance of cause. Dementia the disorder is widely known as Alzheimer’s disease, senile dementia, vascular Dementia, Dementia with levy bodies, Parkinson’s disease, Frontotemporal dementia. By neurological examination like CT, MRI, and Spinal fluid analysis can occasionally be justified to confirm the dementia syndrome. For the AD the treatment are broadly takes place as two types, one is cognitive symptoms treatment, another Non- cognitive symptoms treatment. In that case for cognitive sign treatment cholinesterase inhibitors (such as Donepezil, rivastigmine), NMDA receptor inhibitors (Memantine) are used. Anti-psychotics’, Anti-depressant category drugs are used for Non-cognitive symptoms treatment.
