RESUMO
Osteoporosis, characterized by low bone density and increased risk of fractures, represents a major healthcare challenge. Anti-resorptive and anabolic medications are now used to treat osteoporosis in an effort to reduce bone loss and increase bone mass. Innovative methods are required since current therapies have drawbacks. Promising options for improving bone health and medicine delivery are provided by nanotechnology. Bisphosphonates with tetracyclines and oligopeptides, among other compounds that target the bone, make it easier to provide a particular medication to bone tissue. Additionally, nanocarriers are essential for the administration of both organic and inorganic nanoparticles in the treatment of osteoporosis. Drug encapsulation and controlled release may be done in a variety of ways using organic nanoparticles. Inorganic nanoparticles have special qualities that help in medication transport and bone repair. This review explores the potential of nanoparticle-based strategies in the treatment of osteoporosis.
RESUMO
One of the most difficult tasks among the numerous medication delivery methods is ocular drug delivery. Despite having effective medications for treating ocular illness, we have not yet managed to develop an appropriate drug delivery strategy with the fewest side effects. Nanotechnology has the potential to significantly address the drawbacks of current ocular delivery systems, such as their insufficient therapeutic effectiveness and unfavourable side effects from invasive surgery or systemic exposure. The objective of the current research is to highlight and update the most recent developments in nano-based technologies for the detection and treatment of ocular diseases. Even if more work has to be done, the advancements shown here might lead to brand-new, very practical ocular nanomedicines.

Due to their robust antioxidant capabilities, potential health benefits, wide variety of biological activities, and strong antioxidant qualities, phenolic compounds are substances that have drawn considerable attention in recent years. The main goal of the review is to draw attention to saharian Algerian medicinal plants and the determination of their bioactivity (antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory importance), and to present their chemical composition as well as in vivo and in vitro studies, clinical studies, and other studies confirming their real impact on human health. Research results have revealed a rich variety of medicinal plants used to treat various disease states in this region. Based on in vivo and in vitro studies, biological activity, and clinical studies, a list of 34 species of desert plants, belonging to 20 botanical families, useful both in preventive actions and in the treatment of neoplastic diseases has been established, and polyphenolic compounds have been identified as key to the health potential of endemic diseases and desert plants. It has been shown that people who follow a diet rich in polyphenols are less prone to the risk of many cancers and chronic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes. In view of the increasing antioxidant potential of these plant species, as well as the increasing trade in herbal products from the Sahara region, phytosanitary and pharmaceutical regulations must change in this respect and should be in line with Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), and the sustainable use and development of plant products must be addressed at the same time.
