Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: A Breakthrough in Healthcare
The physiological and pharmacological benefits and high therapeutic response of hyperbaric oxygen therapy indicates that hyperbaric oxygen therapy offers promise in the treatment of a wide range of medical conditions.

Skin Cancer: Prevalent in Caucasians
More number of melanized melanosomes present in darker-skinned groups absorb and scatter more energy than do the smaller number of melanosomes. The color of the skin is a primary reason behind the occurrence of skin cancer.

Hold the Prescription and Try These Natural Antibiotics Instead
The significance of natural antibiotics lies in the fact that they are effective against infections without causing enough side effects. Substitution of prescription drugs ...

The The Therapeutic Potential of Exosomes
Currently, many are manipulating exosomes to solve drug delivery problems for a dizzying array of therapies – small molecules, RNA therapies, proteins ...

Laser Stories in Medicine
The usage of lasers has become increasingly popular in modern medicine, as minimally invasive techniques are continually being used in the treatment of different pathologic pathways...

How Laparoscopic Surgery Has Taken Over Open Surgery
A single large incision is made during “open surgery”, whereas the “laparoscopic surgery” takes the help of several smaller incisions for entering the abdomen and the recovery time of the patient is also faster compared to traditional open surgeries...

Bioterrorism: Is the Threat Real?
