    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common type of dementia in older people, causes neurological problems associated with memory and thinking. The key enzymes involved in Alzheimer's disease pathways are acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). Because of this, there is a lot of interest in finding new AChE inhibitors. Among compounds that are not alkaloids, flavonoids have stood out as good candidates. The apple fruit,

    Abstract The free radicals produced by cigarette smoking are responsible for tissue damage, heart and lung diseases, and carcinogenesis. The effect of tobacco on the central nervous system (CNS) has received increased attention nowadays in research. Therefore, to explore the molecular interaction of cigarette smoke carcinogens (CSC) 4-(methylnitrosamine)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL), 4-(methylnitrosamine)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), and N′-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) with well-known targets of CNS-related disorders, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) enzymes, a cascade of the computational study was conducted including molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations (MDS). The investigated results of NNAL+AChEcₒₘₚₗₑₓ, NNK+AChEcₒₘₚₗₑₓ, and NNK+BuChEcₒₘₚₗₑₓ based on intermolecular energies (∆G) were found to −8.57 kcal/mol, −8.21 kcal/mol, and −8.08 kcal/mol, respectively. MDS deviation and fluctuation plots of the NNAL and NNK interaction with AChE and BuChE have shown significant results. Further, Molecular Mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area (MM‐PBSA) results shown the best total binding energy (ᴮⁱⁿᵈⁱⁿᵍ∆G) −87.381 (+/−13.119) kJ/mol during NNK interaction with AChE. Our study suggests that CSC is well capable of altering the normal biomolecular mechanism of CNS; thus, obtained data could be useful to design extensive wet laboratory experimentation to know the effects of CSC on human CNS.

    Abstract After one year, the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is still the largest concern for the scientific community. Of the many recognized drug targets of SARS-CoV-2, the main protease is one of the most important target due to its function in viral replication. We conducted an in silico study with repurposing drugs of antibiotics class against virus protease and peptidase using AutoDock tool. The following significant binding energy interaction was observed with protease (PDB: 6LU7) like piperacillin -7.25; tobramycin -9.20 and doxorubicin (Doxo) -10.04 kcal/mol and with peptidase (PDB: 2GTB) piperacillin -7.08; tobramycin -8.54 and Doxo -9.89 kcal/mol. Furthermore, the interaction and stability behavior of the Doxo-protease and Doxo-peptidase complexes were analyzed for a 100-nanosecond (ns) time. Calculated RMSD values observed using molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) were found to be 0.15-0.25 nm, RMSF calculation per residues showed a value near 0.2 nm and

    Abstract Background: Regarding adjustments to warfarin dosage, numerous studies have shown that computerized methods are superior to those based on personal experience.
    Objectives: To report the efficacy of a computer-based warfarin management system (WMS) in the Iranian population.
    Methods: By utilizing the existing dosing algorithms and obtaining expert opinions, we developed a computer-based WMS at a large tertiary cardiovascular center. The time in therapeutic range (TTR) and the number of international normalized ratio (INR) tests of clinic patients were compared before and after the implementation of WMS.
    Results: Overall, 803 patients with 5407 INR tests were included in the before phase and 679 patients with 4189 INR tests in the after phase. The mean TTR was 57.3% before and 59% after WMS implementation (mean difference, 1.64, 95% CI: -1.12 to 4.40). In the before phase, the mean number of INR tests was 6.7, which dropped to 6.1 tests in the after phase (mean difference, -0.61, 95% CI: -0.97 to -0.24). Only 54.5% of the warfarin dosing prescriptions were consistent with the dosing recommendations of the WMS, and adherence to the WMS was poorest in the highest INR target range.
    Conclusions: For the first time in Iran, we demonstrated that a computerized system was as effective as a traditional experience-based method to monitor INR in VKA-anticoagulated patients. Furthermore, it could reduce both the number of INR tests and that of visits.

    Abstract Background and objectives Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic complex metabolic disease characterized mainly by hyperglycemia. It appears to be a global epidemic and an increasingly major non-communicable disease, posing a threat to both affluent and nonaffluent societies. Diabetes dramatically increases the risk of developing stroke, chronic kidney disease, and coronary artery disease. These complications include chronic kidney disease, retinopathy, coronary artery disease, stroke, and diabetic foot ulcers. Compared to people without diabetes, adults with diabetes have a two to four times greater risk of dying from heart disease and stroke. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding complications among patients with diabetes visiting the Diabetes Clinics at King Fahad Specialist Hospital (KFSH) in the Qassim Region, Saudi Arabia. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted in which patients with DM who visited the Diabetic Clinics at KFSH from February 2023 to July 2023 were recruited using a nonprobability sampling technique. A validated questionnaire from previous research was used to collect data on the sociodemographic features of the participants and their knowledge regarding diabetic complications. Data were described using mean with standard deviation for continuous variables and proportion for categorical variables. Results A total of 368 patients were recruited. The majority of the respondents (144, 39.1%) had been living with diabetes for over 10 years, followed by 23.1% (85) of those with less than one year. Exactly 239 (64.9%) reported having a family history of diabetes. About 75% (276) of participants knew about diabetic complications, and 247 (67.1%) reported that their doctor had addressed them about diabetes complications. Among the sources of diabetes complication information, diabetologists were reported by 131 (35.6%) of the respondents, followed by 81 (22.0%) through social media, 65 (17.7%) from relatives, and 39 (10.6%) from family medicine doctors. On the other hand, the findings reveal that the different age groups have different levels of knowledge of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia as diabetic complications (

    Abstract Groundwater is a significant water resource for drinking and irrigation in Satkhira district, Bangladesh. The depletion of groundwater resources and deterioration in its quality are the results of the confluence of factors such as industrialization, intensive irrigation, and rapid population growth. For this reason, this study focused on the evaluation of tubewell water of six unions of Kaligonj upazila in Satkhira district, which is situated in the coastal southwest part of Bangladesh. Major and trace elemental concentrations were assimilated into positive matrix factorization (PMF) to identify potential sources and their respective contributions. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that groundwater salinization and manmade activities were the primary causes of heavy metals in the coastal groundwater. Its average pH value was found to be 7.5, while Dissolved oxygen, Total dissolved solids, salinity, and conductivity, with values ranging from 1.18 to 7.38 mg/L, 0.5-4.88 g/L, 0.4-5%, and 0.95 to 8.56 mS/cm, respectively. The total hardness average value was 561.7 mg/L, classified into the very hard water categories, which is why 90% of the tubewell water samples were unfit for household purposes. All samples had an excessive level of arsenic present. The iron concentration of fifteen (15) samples crossed the standard limit according to WHO 2011 value. Around 63% of the samples were of the Na
