Drug eluting balloons offer a promising alternative for coronary artery disease, especially in small vessels where stents may increase complications. Their ability to deliver drugs without leaving behind a permanent scaffold provides a natural healing approach.

Coronary arteries often require delicate manipulation. DEBs allow precise drug transfer while maintaining vessel flexibility. They reduce restenosis rates significantly when used appropriately.

In many countries, DEBs are becoming standard for treating in-stent restenosis, bifurcation lesions, and small-caliber arteries. Their procedural simplicity and lower risk of thrombosis make them valuable tools in interventional cardiology.

The ability to preserve the native artery structure without metal implants represents a paradigm shift toward biological rather than mechanical repair.

1. Can DEBs replace stents entirely?

Oncolytic virotherapy is rapidly moving from an experimental concept to a new frontier in personalized cancer care. Unlike traditional treatments that target cancer cells broadly, oncolytic viruses are engineered or naturally selected to replicate only inside tumor cells. This highly selective behavior allows them to attack cancer with precision while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. What makes this approach especially transformational is its potential to be custom-tailored to a patient's unique tumor biology.

The process begins by identifying viral strains with the natural ability to penetrate and kill cancer cells. Scientists then enhance these strains through genetic modification, enabling them to deliver therapeutic genes, express immune-stimulating proteins, or sensitize tumors to other therapies. When injected into tumors, the virus replicates until the cancer cell bursts, releasing new viral particles that continue the cycle. At the same time, this destruction exposes tumor antigens, prompting the body’s immune system to join the…

Emergency departments often rely on Heparin due to its immediate therapeutic action. When patients arrive with symptoms of stroke, heart attack, or pulmonary embolism, time is critical. In these cases, Heparin is used to prevent the formation of new clots while doctors identify the underlying problem. Its quick onset and short half-life make it perfect for stabilizing patients until more definitive treatment can be delivered. Whether given intravenously or subcutaneously, its ability to act swiftly can significantly enhance survival and recovery prospects.

Heparin also assists emergency physicians in managing trauma cases. Severe injuries increase the risk of unpredictable clotting, especially in patients with fractures, internal bleeding, or extended immobilization. While physicians must balance clot prevention with bleeding concerns, Heparin remains a vital option used in carefully selected cases. In the high-pressure environment of emergency care, its predictability allows clinicians to act decisively and safely. Over decades, Heparin has earned its…

Animals often require medications that differ greatly from human dosing, strength, or administration routes. Compounded pharmacy plays an essential part in veterinary care by customizing drugs for pets of different species, sizes, and temperaments. Pets like cats may reject pills but readily accept flavored liquids, while dogs may require chewable treats containing their medication. Compounding allows pharmacists to create animal-friendly formats that improve compliance and treatment success.

Veterinarians also depend on compounding when commercial veterinary drugs are unavailable or unsuitable. Conditions such as chronic pain, endocrine disorders, and infections often require long-term or precisely measured doses. Because animals differ widely in metabolism and sensitivity, compounded formulations help ensure safe administration and reduce stress for both pets and their owners.

FAQ

1. Can compounding help with hard-to-medicate pets?

Yes, flavors and formats can be customized for easier administration.

2. Are animal doses different from humans’?
