    Abstract Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a widespread, chronic, irreversible, and degenerative condition, and its early detection during the prodromal stage is of utmost importance. Typically, AD studies rely on single data modalities, such as MRI or PET, for making predictions. Nevertheless, combining metabolic and structural data can offer a comprehensive perspective on AD staging analysis. To address this goal, this paper introduces an innovative multi-modal fusion-based approach named as Dual-3DM3-AD. This model is proposed for an accurate and early Alzheimer's diagnosis by considering both MRI and PET image scans. Initially, we pre-process both images in terms of noise reduction, skull stripping and 3D image conversion using Quaternion Non-local Means Denoising Algorithm (QNLM), Morphology function and Block Divider Model (BDM), respectively, which enhances the image quality. Furthermore, we have adapted Mixed-transformer with Furthered U-Net for performing semantic segmentation and minimizing complexity. Dual-3DM3-AD model is consisted of multi-scale feature extraction module for extracting appropriate features from both segmented images. The extracted features are then aggregated using Densely Connected Feature Aggregator Module (DCFAM) to utilize both features. Finally, a multi-head attention mechanism is adapted for feature dimensionality reduction, and then the softmax layer is applied for multi-class Alzheimer's diagnosis. The proposed Dual-3DM3-AD model is compared with several baseline approaches with the help of several performance metrics. The final results unveil that the proposed work achieves 98% of accuracy, 97.8% of sensitivity, 97.5% of specificity, 98.2% of f-measure, and better ROC curves, which outperforms other existing models in multi-class Alzheimer's diagnosis.

    Abstract Background: During procedures on the upper limbs, the brachial plexus block is usually advised. To increase the length of the block, many medicines have been utilized as adjuvants. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine plus bupivacaine against bupivacaine alone on the onset and duration of the sensory and motor block and the duration of analgesia in the supraclavicular block during upper extremity orthopaedic surgery.
    Methods: Sixty individuals qualified for orthopaedic operations on the upper extremities, ranging in age from 20 to 60 years, participated in this prospective, randomized investigation. The modified Bromage scale and the pinprick method were used to assess the sensory and motor block. Using a visual analogue pain scale, the postoperative pain was evaluated at 0, 6, 12 and 24 hours after surgery.
    Results: In patients receiving only bupivacaine, the mean onset time of sensory and motor block was 32.84 minutes and 26.67 minutes respectively; while in those receiving bupivacaine along with dexmedetomidine, it was 23.38 minutes and 14.81 minutes (p<0.005). In the intervention group (bupivacaine and dexmedetomidine), the period between the first request for analgesia and the duration period of sensory and motor block were both longer (p<0.005). The intervention group experienced less postoperative discomfort for 24 hours (p<0.05).
    Conclusions: Dexmedetomidine added to bupivacaine perineurally prolonged both numbness and immobility while shortening the time it took for sensory and motor blocks to begin. Moreover, dexmedetomidine considerably decreased postoperative pain when combined with bupivacaine for supraclavicular blocks.

    Abstract Background: Spinal anaesthesia has its unique place in modern anaesthetic practice. In past, most of the surgeries, irrespective of the site of surgery, were performed in general anaesthesia but now in the modern anaesthetic field, spinal anaesthesia has markedly replaced general anaesthesia, specifically in obstetrics, lower limbs, and abdominal surgeries.
    Methods: A total of 100 patients fit to undergo lower limb surgery between the ages of 20 to 70 years were included in the study. 50 patients were in 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (Group A) while 50 patients were in the 0.75% hyperbaric bupivacaine group (Group B). Patients with a history of allergies to local anaesthetics, ischemic heart disease and contraindications to spinal anaesthesia were excluded. At the end of the injection, the patient was immediately laid down and tilted to 30 degrees lateral on the operative side for unilateral anaesthesia. Mean arterial pressure at baseline, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes was recorded by trainee anaesthesia. A baseline was taken of mean arterial pressure measured 15 minutes before induction of spinal anaesthesia in a lying position.
    Results: The mean baseline arterial pressure of patients in group A was 88.72±1.71 mmHg and in group B was 88.94±1.95 mmHg. Mean arterial pressure MAP at 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes in both groups was as follows; 86.22±2.55 vs 81.78±1.52 mmHg, 83.72±3.36 vs 75.84±1.34 mmHg, 80.02±3.40 vs 70.90±0.97 mmHg and 77.14±4.24 vs 66.06±1.62 mmHg respectively (p-value <0.05).
    Conclusions: This study concluded that the hemodynamic parameters in terms of mean arterial pressure remained more stable by deviating less from the baseline value with the use of a low dose of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine instead of 0.75% hyperbaric bupivacaine in patients undergoing lower limb surgery under unilateral spinal anaesthesia.

    Abstract Ethosomes, which are liposomes like structures, mainly composed primarily of ethanol, have attracted considerable attention due to their potential to enhance the drug permeation via skin. The article discusses the formulation and preparation methods of ethosomes, offering insights into the various factors that influence their size, shape, and stability. Moreover, it explores the techniques used to assess the physicochemical properties of ethosomes and their impact on drug delivery effectiveness. The article also elucidates the mechanism by which ethosomes enhance skin permeation, emphasising their ability to modify the lipid structure and fluidity of the stratum corneum. Additionally, the review investigates the applications of ethosomes in diverse drug delivery scenarios, including the delivery of small molecules, peptides, and phytoconstituents. It highlights the potential of ethosomes to improve drug bioavailability, extend drug release, and achieve targeted delivery to specific skin layers or underlying tissues.

    Abstract Blockchain-based reliable, resilient, and secure communication for Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) is essential in Smart Grid (SG). The Solana blockchain, due to its high stability, scalability, and throughput, along with low latency, is envisioned to enhance the reliability, resilience, and security of DERs in SGs. This paper presents big datasets focusing on SQL Injection, Spoofing, and Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) cyberattacks, which have been collected from Solana blockchain-based Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSNs) for events monitoring and control in DERs. The datasets provided include both raw (unprocessed) and refined (processed) data, which highlight distinct trends in cyberattacks in DERs. These distinctive patterns demonstrate problems like superfluous mass data generation, transmitting invalid packets, sending deceptive data packets, heavily using network bandwidth, rerouting, causing memory overflow, overheads, and creating high latency. These issues result in ineffective real-time events monitoring and control of DERs in SGs. The thorough nature of these datasets is expected to play a crucial role in identifying and mitigating a wide range of cyberattacks across different smart grid applications.
