Clinical diagnostics and biological research are advanced by magnetic theranostic, which uses macromolecule-based magnetic theranostic agents for targeted therapy and diagnostic imaging. Within this review, the interaction of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with biological macromolecules will be covered. The exciting potential of macromolecule-based magnetic theranostic agents to be used as a tool in drug delivery, photothermally therapy (PTT), gene therapy, hyperthermia therapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT) will be discussed.

Background: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is frequently associated with a spectrum of sleep-related disorders, including insomnia, Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS), REM sleep Behaviour Disorder (RBD), Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), and Sleep-related Breathing Disorders (SBDs). These disorders significantly impact PD patients' Quality of Life (QoL) and present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Methods: This review has explored the intricate relationship between PD and sleep-related disorders, emphasizing their distinctive features and underlying neurobiological mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
  • Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a widespread issue, particularly in the Middle East, severely impacting quality of life and often overlooked in developing countries due to limited resources.
  • A study conducted via an online survey with 968 participants found a 47.9% prevalence of AR, particularly associated with male gender, employment, chronic medical conditions like other allergies and asthma, and exposure to war-related stress.
  • The findings suggest a significant community burden of AR, highlighting the need for further research to understand and address this issue, especially given the potential psychological and environmental factors involved.
