The wide and rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has placed an unanticipated burden on global healthcare sector. This necessitated a swift response from international community to reach solution. Efforts were made in parallel develop preventative therapeutic modalities. Since then, drug repurposing blossomed as potentially resolution included various agents with anti-viral anti-inflammatory properties. Corticosteroids, being potent agents, have been under extensive investigation. Various trials recorded beneficial outcome corticosteroids decreasing mortality morbidity COVID-19. With high pace escalating events, quality study design clinical are varied. Therefore, this aims explore role disease. It inspects molecular, pharmacologic, proof behind theory.

This study aims to investigate the relationships between COVID-19 phobia experienced by school administrators and their work–family conflict, family–work life satisfaction. descriptive research, designed according relational survey model, was conducted with participation of 356 administrators. The data were collected through online questionnaires, then t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis, simple linear regression analysis employed for statistical analyses. results revealed that female greater levels than male peers is felt more intensely in psychological social sub-dimensions. However, administrators’ satisfaction significantly higher those In current study, it determined younger age group family–work/work–family conflict from other groups. this a positive moderate relationship both conflict. findings offer significant implications policy makers education, showing importance developing strategies will reduce effects pandemic sustainable efficient employee performance.

Abstract Exosomes are the smallest subset of extracellular signaling vesicles secreted by most cells with ability to communicate other tissues and cell types over long distances. Their use in regenerative medicine has gained tremendous momentum recently due their be utilized as therapeutic options for a wide array diseases/conditions. Over 5000 publications currently being published yearly on this topic, number is only expected dramatically increase novel strategies continue developed. Today exosomes have been applied numerous contexts including neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer's disease, central nervous system, depression, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's post‐traumatic stress disorders, traumatic brain injury, peripheral nerve injury), damaged organs (heart, kidney, liver, stroke, myocardial infarctions, ovaries), degenerative processes (atherosclerosis, diabetes, hematology musculoskeletal degeneration, osteoradionecrosis, respiratory disease), infectious diseases (COVID‐19, hepatitis), procedures (antiaging, bone regeneration, cartilage/joint osteoarthritis, cutaneous wounds, dental dermatology/skin erectile dysfunction, hair regrowth, intervertebral disc repair, spinal cord vascular regeneration), cancer therapy (breast, colorectal, gastric osteosarcomas), immune function (allergy, autoimmune regulation, inflammatory diseases, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis).
