Developing robust and secure image encryption methods for transmitting multiple images in batches over unprotected networks has become imperative. This necessity arises from the limitations of single-image encryption techniques in managing the escalating volume of extensive data. This paper introduces a novel three-layer multiple-image encryption (MIE) technique to encrypt batch images based on three 2D-chaotic maps.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores biopolymer hydrogels made from carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) sourced from Durian fruit rind as a safer alternative to traditional alcohol-based sanitizers, which pose safety concerns.
  • - It combines CMC with the synthetic polymer Carbopol and incorporates Rambutan leaf extract (RLE), which displays strong antibacterial properties against harmful bacteria like E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
  • - Results show that the hydrogel with RLE significantly enhances antibacterial effectiveness, confirmed by various analyses, suggesting it could serve as an eco-friendly disinfectant option.

This study proposes a new deep-learning approach incorporating a superfluity mechanism to categorize knee X-ray images into osteoporosis, osteopenia, and normal classes. The superfluity mechanism suggests the use of two distinct types of blocks. The rationale is that, unlike a conventional serially stacked layer, the superfluity concept involves concatenating multiple layers, enabling features to flow into two branches rather than a single branch.

Background: Proteoglycans are important tumor microenvironment extracellular matrix components. The regulation of key proteoglycans, such as decorin (DCN), by miRNAs has drawn attention since they have surfaced as novel therapeutic targets in cancer. Accordingly, this study aimed at identifying the impact of miR-181a in liver cancer and its regulatory role on the extracellular matrix proteoglycan, DCN, and hence on downstream oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes.

Introduction: The study aimed to systematically enhance the fabrication process of flurbiprofen-loaded bilosomes (FSB) using Quality by Design (QbD) principles and Design of Experiments (DOE). The objective was to develop an optimized formulation with improved entrapment efficiency and targeted drug delivery capabilities.

Methods: The optimization process involved applying QbD principles and DOE to achieve the desired formulation characteristics.
