Medicinal leeches

As per available reports about 113 journals, 3 Conferences, 2 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Medicinal leeches and about 590 articles are being published on the current trends in Medicinal leeches. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to proteomics are being carried out. Medicinal leeches are any of several species of leeches, but most commonly Hirudo medicinalis, the European medicinal leech. Today medicinal leeches are used as tools in tissue grafts and reattachment surgery. Not only do they secrete anitcoagulants to prevent blood clots and relieve pressure due to pooling blood. It appears that leech saliva has other therapeutic properties. Leech saliva helps reestablish blood flow to reattached body parts by means of a vasodilator, provides a numbing anesthetic, and lessens the risk of infection due to an antibiotic.

The Journal of Nutrition & Food Sciences is an peer reviewed journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in Medicinal leeches. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. Journal of Nutrition & Food Sciences provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of Medicinal leeches, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

OMICS International – a pioneer in organizing international conferences, 3rd International Conference and Exhibition on Biowaivers and Biosimilars provides an in-depth discussion of key industry issues essential to biosimilars including cost effectual development and progression of methods, operation of clinical trials, appraising safety and quality, key strategies for dissolution testing, overcoming regulatory and legal issues and achieving access to emerging markets and commercialising biosimilars.
