IJLPR aims to disseminate high-quality review and research articles in the rapidly evolving fields of pharmaceutical and life sciences. As an open-access online journal, it ensures unrestricted access to all published content. Manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo an initial assessment by the editorial team and are subsequently reviewed by qualified peer reviewers, with additional expert evaluation as needed.</p> <p data-start="131" data-end="696"> </p> Lapin Press Publications [LPP] en-US International Journal of Life Science and Pharma Research 2250-0480 https://www.ijlpr.com/index.php/journal/article/view/2032 <p>A common urological condition called urolithiasis is characterized by development of stones in urinary tract that are primarily made of calcium oxalate. Super saturation, crystal development, nucleation, aggregation, retention in renal tissues are some of the steps in the stone formation process. By causing damage to the renal epithelium and encouraging crystal adhesion, oxidative stress is a major factor in this illness. By this variety of molecular mechanisms, reactive oxygen species and inflammatory mediators further quicken the course of disease. The interest in plant based remedies as substitute treatments has grown. Pharmaceuticals and surgical procedures are current therapeutic approaches; however, they are frequently associated with side effects and recurrence. Therefore, interest in plant-based remedies as substitute treatments has grown. Through their diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, medicinal herbs have antiurolithiatic effects. Furthermore, they increase the composition of urine and lessen the production of crystals. In experiments, a number of herbal remedies have demonstrated encouraging outcomes. Phytopharmacological methods could therefore be safer and more effective ways to treat urolithiasis.</p> Sowmya B A Sinchana Hegde Purnima Ashok Copyright (c) 2026 Sowmya B A, Sinchana Hegde, Purnima Ashok https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2026-06-24 2026-06-24 https://www.ijlpr.com/index.php/journal/article/view/2043 <p>As a part of the present thesis work, an extensive survey was conducted across all 28 districts of Andhra Pradesh to study desmid diversity. Algal samples were collected from different freshwater bodies and screened for the occurrence of desmids. Among the various genera identified, the present publication focuses on the genus <em>Micrasterias</em>. A total of seven taxa were identified. Of these, two species, <em>Micrasterias pinnatifida</em> Ralfs and <em>M. foliacea</em> Bailey ex Ralfs. were previously reported from Andhra Pradesh. The remaining five species, namely <em>Micrasterias americana</em> Ehrenberg ex Ralfs, <em>M. crux-melitensis</em> Ralfs<em>, M. mahabuleshwarensis</em> J. Hobson<em>, M. thomasiana </em>W. Archer, and<em> M. tropica</em> Nordstedt are reported here as new distributional records for Andhra Pradesh.</p> Rajeswara Reddy G Sandhya Rani S Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2026-06-24 2026-06-24 1 5 10.22376/ijlpr.v16i2.2043
