- Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is crucial in Alzheimer's disease, as inhibiting it could raise acetylcholine levels, potentially improving cognitive function.
- A study screened 2500 compounds from traditional medicinal plants, identifying 80 with good properties and narrowing down to three top candidates based on their binding affinity to AChE.
- The selected compounds underwent various evaluations, including molecular dynamics simulations and Density Functional Theory analysis, confirming their stability and potential as effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease.

- The study investigates the prevalence of inappropriate antibiotic doses in pediatric patients, highlighting their unique physiological differences and the complexity of dosing calculations.
- Conducted across three hospitals in Savar, it analyzed 405 prescriptions over nearly two years, revealing that 61.5% of pediatric antibiotic doses were inappropriate, with common issues being overdosing and oral prescriptions.
- The findings indicated that certain groups, including emergency and outpatient pediatric patients, babies, and those on single antibiotic prescriptions, were particularly vulnerable to receiving incorrect dosages.
Sign language is undoubtedly a common way of communication among deaf and non-verbal people.

This study aims to understand the knowledge strengths and gaps on GBV against visible minority women with an intersectional lens, revealing systemic barriers to accessing support and how these barriers intensify GBV and its effects. It will also identify effective and ineffective policies and practices in the literature to develop strategies addressing the root causes of GBV and supporting survivors.
