    Abstract There is a group of enzymes called monoamine oxidase(s) (MAOs) that help with the oxidation of amines found in both our diet and our bodies. Currently, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO-Is) are utilized to manage conditions like depression, Parkinson's disease, and other psychiatric disorders. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an auto-immune disease that has been linked to negative changes in mental health, such as depression. When depression co-occurs with RA, it can further worsen the outcome of the disease. Inhibiting monoamine oxidases could potentially treat RA by improving its pathological markers. Using existing pre-clinical and clinical data on safety and toxicity makes drug re-purposing advantageous. Hence, the pre-clinical validation of MAO-I's effectiveness in managing RA requires urgent regulatory intervention to commence clinical trials. Back in 1983, a clinical case report put forward the idea of repurposing MAO-I for RA treatment. Although MAO-I had been used for depression, it was observed to have a significant reduction in joint pain and stiffness. However, no significant clinical research has been conducted on this matter since then. In this commentary article, we provide a summary of the pre-clinical data that is currently available. The main focus of our discussion is on the significance of clinical trials for MAO-I, repurposing it for RA, and using it for the simultaneous management of depression and RA.

    Abstract Doping of chloride in mixed iodide-bromide perovskites has been shown experimentally to suppress the photo-induced halide-ion segregation and enhance the stability of triple-halide perovskites (THP). However, a fundamental understanding of the effects of Cl doping is yet to be achieved especially when the doping concentration is low. Here we report the results of a state-of-the-art

    Abstract Introduction: Cognitive impairment in depression can present as subjective or objective, but the intensity of the former is higher and is not correlated with the deficits measured in neuropsychological tests. We hypothesised that rumination would be associated with subjective cognitive impairment.
    Methods: The study was performed through the online PsyToolkit platform. It included 168 healthy people and 93 people with depression. To examine memory, a recognition-type task was used with emotionally charged words as the stimulus. Depression symptoms were measured using the Beck Depression Inventory-II, subjective cognitive impairment with the Perceived Deficits Questionnaire-20, and intensity of rumination with the Polish Questionnaire of Rumination.
    Results: MDD patients had significantly higher levels of depression symptoms, rumination, and subjective cognitive deficits than the control group. In the memory task, the MDD group had a higher error rate than the control group. In hierarchical regression analysis, depression and rumination were found to be significant predictors of subjective cognitive impairment, whereas objective memory performance was not. Exploratory analyses revealed that rumination mediates the association between depression and subjective cognitive complaints.
    Conclusion: Cognitive problems are common in depression and affect the quality of life. The results suggest that patients with depression have higher levels of rumination and subjective memory impairment, and that there is no direct link between subjective and objective cognitive decline. The findings may have implications for the development of effective treatment strategies for depression and cognitive impairment.

    Abstract Nanoparticle synthesis from plant resources has recently gained significant impact due to its low cost, simple equipment requirements, and ease of availability. In this work, DR-AgNPs were synthesized using bark extract of Delonix regia (D. regia) plant under microwave irradiation. The formation of DR-AgNPs has been confirmed with UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR, FESEM, HRTEM, EDS, DLS, and zeta potential analysis. Catalytic and antioxidant activities were tested on synthesized spherical nanoparticles with a size range of 10-48 nm. The effects of pH and catalyst dosage on the methylene blue (MB) dye degradation were carried out. It was observed from the treatment results that 95% MB dye degradation efficiency was achieved within 4 min with a degradation rate constant of 0.772 min

    Abstract Rett syndrome (RTT) is a rare but dreadful X-linked genetic disease that mainly affects young girls. It is a neurological disease that affects nerve cell development and function, resulting in severe motor and intellectual disabilities. To date, no cure is available for treating this disease. In 90% of the cases, RTT is caused by a mutation in methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2), a transcription factor involved in the repression and activation of transcription. MECP2 is known to regulate several target genes and is involved in different physiological functions. Mouse models exhibit a broad range of phenotypes in recapitulating human RTT symptoms; however, understanding the disease mechanisms remains incomplete, and many potential RTT treatments developed in mouse models have not shown translational effectiveness in human trials. Recent data hint that the zebrafish model emulates similar disrupted neurological functions following mutation of the mecp2 gene. This suggests that zebrafish can be used to understand the onset and progression of RTT pathophysiology and develop a possible cure. In this review, we elaborate on the molecular basis of RTT pathophysiology in humans and model organisms, including rodents and zebrafish, focusing on the zebrafish model to understand the molecular pathophysiology and the development of therapeutic strategies for RTT. Finally, we propose a rational treatment strategy, including antisense oligonucleotides, small interfering RNA technology and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cell therapy.

    Abstract The problems with adverse effects of conventional treatments for a range of dermatological conditions have led scientists to search for new compounds of therapeutic value. Efforts have included the evaluation of natural products such as manuka honey, black olives, citrus extracts , pumpkin enzyme extracts for example, has been scientifically recognized for its anti-microbial and skin rejuvenation properties and is now used clinically as a part of medi-facials or as basic low strength peels for skin rejuvenation and for those with sensitive skin. We evaluated the effects of various organic peels on sixty patients over a period of six months by using a grading scale for following skin characteristics post peel procedure; smoothness, firmness, even coloration, normal texture and absence of active skin infections. The overall score in current study was showed that the effectiveness of mandelic peel was more when compared with other organic peels which showed significant difference (p value 0.033).
