A Review on Formulation Design of Self micro emulsifying Drug Delivery System to Improved Solubility
Poorly Solubility of orally administered drug is major challenge of pharmaceutical industry as nearly 35-40% of newly launched drugs possess poor aqueous solubility which leads to their poor dissolution and low bioavailability, resulting in high intra & inter subject variability & lack of dose proportionality. Self-micro emulsifying drug delivery technique is the one of the process for improving the solvency of the hydrophobic medication. The medications which are insoluble in water can be formulated in this technique by solubilizing it in the lipid vehicle to absorb through the membrane. The lipid and surfactants are utilized to build the solvency of the drug and improve absorption. This improves the dissolution rate of the drug by expanding its solubility. Oral bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs can be improved using SEDDS, and appears most promising. Their dispersion in gastro intestinal (GI) fluid after administration forms micro or nano emulsified drug which gets easily absorbed through lymphatic pathways bypassing the hepatic first pass metabolism. SMEDDS are isotropic mixtures of oil, surfactant, co-surfactant and drug with a unique ability to form fine oil in water microemulsion upon mild agitation following dilution with aqueous phase. This article gives an overview of SMEDDS as a promising approach to effectively tackle the problem of poorly soluble drugs.

Undergraduate Medical Students’ Perceptions of Small Group Discussions to Enhance Prescription Auditing Abilities
Having undergraduate medical students participate in small group discussions (SGDs) can improve their ability to audit prescriptions, as they are expected to master an overwhelming quantity of material in a short time. Small group discussions are a useful instructional strategy for improving prescription auditing skills in first-year medical students, providing increased levels of involvement and engagement, enhanced capabilities in both analytical thinking and problem-solving, and improved capacity to recognise possible problems or inaccuracies in prescribed drug regimens. Small group discussions provide a learning environment that encourages critical thinking and problem-solving, making them a useful tool for medical students to improve their skills in prescription auditing. Small group discussions are an efficient way for medical students to improve their clinical knowledge and abilities by learning from their classmates and sharing the information and experiences they have gained. The research was carried out with 70 MBBS students in their second year, divided into two groups and conducted over eight weeks. The significance of the difference between the two groups' average scores was determined by statistical analysis. The study found that MBBS students in their second year have the potential to improve their skills in prescription auditing if small group discussions are presented and put into practice. Small group discussions are an efficient method for strengthening prescription auditing skills in MBBS students, providing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Prescribing and the core curriculum for tomorrow's doctors: British Pharmacology Society curriculum in clinical pharmacology and prescribing for medical students. Small group discussions are an effective teaching-learning methodology for learning the principles of family medicine among 2nd-year MBBS students.

A Brief Review on Hypertension
Hypertension most frequent modifiable risk factor for death and disability, along with stroke, accelerated coronary and systemic atherosclerosis, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease, is hypertension. By lowering blood pressure with antihypertensive medications, cardiovascular disease risk factors such as target organ damage and frequency of occurrence are reduced. June 2017, the American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for hypertension Diastolic blood pressure of 80 mmHg or higher is considered to be hypertension. In patients with CHD, CHF, diabetes mellitus, stroke, and kidney transplantation, BP should be less than 130/80 mmHg. Reducing dietary sodium intake, losing weight if the patient is overweight, exercising regularly, drinking alcohol in moderation, and consuming more potassium-rich foods were all recommended as lifestyle changes. The first antihypertensive medication should often come from one of the four types listed below: calcium channel blockers, thiazide diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and ARBs. These drugs have been found to lower cardiovascular events. Renal denervation and baroreflex activation therapy are the two interventional methods used in clinical practise to treat a variety of treatment-resistant hypertensions. Carotid body ablation and AVF implantation are two other interventional techniques, although none of them reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease or death in hypertensive patients.

Microencapsulation: Application and Recent Advances- A Review
Microencapsulation is the process of encapsulating one material entirely within another on a very small scale, resulting in capsules ranging in size from less than 1-100. The encapsulation efficiency of the microcapsule is affected by various aspects such as polymer concentration, polymer solubility in solvent, solvent removal rate, organic solvent solubility in water, and so on. There are numerous strategies for achieving microencapsulation. The objective of microencapsulation of substances may be to restrict the core content within capsule walls for a certain period of time. Core materials, on the other hand, can be encapsulated so that the core material is released gradually through the capsule walls, a process called as controlled release or diffusion, or when an external condition activates the capsule walls.
