A Natural Product that Accelerates Hair Growth in Women with Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia: OAJBS Publishers

A Natural Product that Accelerates Hair Growth in Women with Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia by Claudia Anesini* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)

Background: Chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) is an adverse effect with a negative impact on quality of life, particularly in women. A lotion containing Larrea divaricata and Coffea arabica extracts to induce hair growth is commercially available in Argentina. The objective of this work was to evaluate the capacity of the lotion, to accelerate post-chemotherapy hair growth in women. 

Methods
Design: A prospective controlled, randomized, double-blind clinical trial was performed. 

Clinical Trial Registration No: CEICYT-UAI, protocol no. 0-1026- 26/12/2017.

Setting: Hospital Austral, Buenos Aires, Argentina. 

Participants: female patients, with ages ranging from 35 to 75 years, with diagnosis of cancer who had received the last chemotherapy cycle with drugs that cause alopecia four weeks before recruitment.

Measurements: The lotion or placebo were applied once a day and photographs of the lateral, occipital and coronary views were taken to determine the percentage of hair coverage at day 0, 30, 60 and 90. Results: After 30 days the lotion increased 613% hair growth (p<0.05) and speed of hair appearance. The time elapsed from the initial visit to the time of appearance of a normal amount hair, was 57 ± 10 days for control patients and 39 ± 5.8 days for patients treated with lotion. No adverse events were observed.

Conclusion: Results support the use of the lotion as a safe and affordable treatment that can accelerate hair growth in women with CIA.

Review on Analysis of Breast Tumor with Methods of Treatment by Nagham Mahmood Aljamali* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Breast malignance is the greatest public in ladies, with a high incidence in North America and Eastern Europe, medium in Southern Europe and the Middle East and low in the Far East. Breast malignance is the second most common malignance in the world after lung malignance, and since it happens a lot, the doctors asked the women to examine themselves by themselves, in order to discover the signs of the disease early before it spreads. It is possible that this disease can be treated after being diagnosed by a specialized doctor and determining the type of tumor in the breast, and the surgeon removes the breast completely and starts chemotherapy about 6 doses, then radiotherapy, how many sessions will be determined by the doctor, and then hormonal therapy, a medicine called Tamoxafin or any medicine determined by the doctor, and it is possible.

Facile Synthesis of Chitosan Nanoparticle with Different Features and Histopathological Ultrastructural Study on The Effect of Its Bio-complex with Bovine Serum Albumin in Mice Liver by Maged El-Kemary* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)   We have synthesized chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) with different characteristics using ionic gelation method. Results showed that the synthesized CS-NPs with different concentrations of trisodium polyphosphate (TPP) are irregular – spherical shaped with narrow size distribution and high stability. The microporous chitosan was also synthesized with new features characterized with different techniques as SEM, EDX, FTIR and BET. The synthesized microporous chitosan has a surface area and pore volume of 245.571m 2 /g and 0.155cm 3 /g respectively. Its microporous surface is functionalized with carboxyl and amine groups. Histopathological and ultrastructural studies of mice liver were performed using optical and scanning electron micro

Assessment of Medication Errors in Emergency Ward at Nekemte Referral Hospital, West Ethiopia by Balisa Mosisa* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Medication error is defined as failure in the treatment process that leads to or has the potential to lead to harm to the patient. It may occur at each five stages of drug ordering and delivery including prescription, transcription, dispensing, and administration or monitoring. Prevalence of medication error in healthcare settings have been found that they were common in hospitals. A significant proportion of medication errors are associated with actual or potentially harmful effects. https://biomedscis.com/fulltext/assessment-of-medication-errors-in-emergency-ward-at-nekemte-referral-hospital-west-ethiopia.ID.000398.php To Know More About Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science Please Visit: Biomedscis Are Click on:   https://Biomedscis.Com/
