The incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with associated serious complications continues to grow rapidly especially in developed countries. Emerging evidence indicates that AD and T2DM share some common risk factors with comparable pathological features including insulin resistance, amyloidogenesis, glucocorticoid imbalance, inflammation, mitochondrial function and oxidative stress. T2DM has been identified as a risk factor for AD. It has even been hypothesized that AD might be type 3 diabetes. In addition to amyloid precursor protein processing and tau phosphorylation, commonalities between T2DM and AD in molecular mechanisms provide clues to the identification of novel therapeutic targets such as glucagon-like peptide 1, butyrylcholinesterase, and receptor for advanced glycosylation end products. Although several classes of anti-diabetic drugs are available, achieving long-term glycaemic control without side effects is often challenging. This review summarizes recent evidence for the pathological links, common therapeutic targets, currently the U. S. Food and Drug Administration approved and potential future therapies, giving special attention to ongoing clinical trials of antidiabetic drugs in AD patients and common therapeutic strategies in the management of both AD and T2DM.

Antifungal Activity of Plant Secondary Metabolites on Candida albicans: An Updated Review

Andleeb Khan, Sivakumar Sivagurunathan Moni, M. Ali, Syam Mohan, Huma Jan, Saiema Rasool, Mohammad A. Kamal, Saeed Alshahrani, Maryam Halawi, Hassan A. Alhazmi

Summary: Fungal infections are on the rise worldwide, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Candida spp. is the most common disease-causing fungus, causing various infections. Understanding the morphological and developmental pathways of Candida is crucial for developing new antifungal drugs. Conventional antifungal drugs have developed resistance, necessitating the exploration of new sources such as phytochemicals and their secondary metabolites.

Summary: Even though cancer therapies have improved, the number of patients has increased, making cancer the fifth deadliest disease. Efficient drug delivery systems must overcome barriers and maximize drug delivery while limiting side effects. Quantum-inspired solutions, such as using quantum tunneling phenomenon in scanning tunneling microscopes, allow for accurate mapping of tumor surfaces and efficient nanodrug design.

Summary: Glioblastoma is an aggressive tumor that hinders normal brain function, and the inability of the skull to expand results in increased pressure in the brain. Recent studies have found that SNPs play a significant role in the development and spread of glioblastoma, with many GB-related SNPs being highly abundant in the promoter region, creating genetic vulnerability to glioma.

Nano-Conversion of Ineffective Cephalosporins into Potent One against Resistant Clinical Uro-Pathogens via Gold Nanoparticles

Syed Mohd Danish Rizvi, Talib Hussain, Farhan Alshammari, Hana Sonbol, Nabeel Ahmad, Syed Shah Mohammed Faiyaz, Mohammad Amjad Kamal, El-Sayed Khafagy, Afrasim Moin, Amr Selim Abu Lila

Summary: Infections caused by resistant bacterial pathogens have become more complicated for clinicians worldwide. Researchers have developed gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that efficiently deliver cephalosporin antibiotics to resistant clinical pathogens. The synthesized AuNPs showed high stability and were effective against resistant strains of E. coli and K. pneumoniae. This study suggests that investing in a nano-antibiotic strategy may be a better approach to overcome resistance.

Summary: The advent of new antibiotics has helped control severe bacterial infections, but inappropriate use and resistance mechanisms still pose challenges. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) genes have become one of the most common approaches for bacteria to develop resistance. Nanotechnology, specifically gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), has shown potential in converting unresponsive antibiotics into potent ones against resistant strains.

Summary: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a group of heterogeneous tumors that can originate from any organ and account for 2% of all malignancies in the United States. NEN patients often experience endocrine imbalances due to increased hormone secretion, affecting their quality of life and prognosis. The past decade has seen significant advancements in the categorization, diagnosis, and treatment choices for NENs, leading to a better understanding and the possibility of targeted therapies beyond surgery.

Summary: Amyloidosis is a protein deposition disorder that damages organ function by causing the accumulation of insoluble fibrils in bodily tissues. Cardiac amyloidosis, a severe and under-reported condition, involves the accumulation of amyloid in the extracellular area of the myocardium, leading to thickening and stiffening of ventricular walls. The incidence of cardiac amyloidosis has been slowly increasing, and this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of its pathophysiology and clinical presentation, as well as offer up-to-date approaches for diagnosis and therapy. Genetic mutations and advancements in imaging and diagnostic methods contribute to the growing incidence of cardiac amyloidosis. Early detection can help improve treatment outcomes, and various therapeutic approaches are being explored to impede disease progression and enhance clinical outcomes.

SIMULATED RESPONSE ANALYSIS: MODELLING A WHEELCHAIR-OCCUPANT SYSTEM SUBJECTED TO VIBRATION

Pongtep Weerapong, Kotaro Hashikura, Md Abdus Samad Kamal, Iwanori Murakami, Kou Yamada

Summary: This paper discusses a method to evaluate the prediction accuracy of a wheelchair-occupant simulation model by comparing it with real-world experimental results. Different types of seat cushions are used in the model to simulate the low-frequency vibration waves caused by the interaction between wheelchair tires and the ground. The analysis shows that the occupant's torso is most affected by the vibration, resulting in the maximum displacement of organs; and the foam-based cushion performs the best in reducing the amplitude of displacement responses.

Summary: In this paper, the parameterization of all disturbance observers for periodic output disturbances is examined. Disturbance observers have been used to estimate disturbances in plants. While previous papers have clarified the parameterization of all disturbance observers for plants, none have focused on periodic output disturbances. This paper proposes a parameterization method for all disturbance observers for periodic output disturbances.
