Landslide susceptibility map (LSM) plays an important role in providing the knowledge of slopes prone to future landslides. However, the applicability of LSM is often hindered due to high cost of data collection especially in mountainous region such as Himalayas. Therefore, this study proposes transfer learning approach (TL) to improve the performance of LSM by transferring the information from the data rich region (source) to data scare region (target).

- The study focused on understanding the awareness and perception of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 among patients with Parkinson's disease and their caregivers through a self-reported survey during 2022.
- Out of 134 patients and 114 caregivers surveyed, a small percentage contracted the Omicron variant, and many patients were aware of the variant and its symptoms but most had not been tested for the virus.
- The findings suggest limited awareness about the Omicron variant among patients and caregivers, highlighting the need for more inclusive research to bridge knowledge gaps in larger and more diverse populations.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a global burden to the healthcare system with no viable treatment options till date. Rodents and primates have been extensively used as models for understanding AD pathogenesis and identifying therapeutic targets. However, the focus is now shifting towards developing alternate models.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effectiveness of 10% dextrose prolotherapy for treating temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) in 30 patients who had symptoms for over six months and didn't respond to other treatments.
- The treatment involved four injection sessions over three months, with assessments made on pain, joint locking, and mouth opening at each visit.
- Results showed significant improvement in TMD symptoms, suggesting that dextrose prolotherapy could be a viable alternative to long-term medications or surgery.
Article Synopsis
- Dengue is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, and its symptoms can range from mild illness to severe conditions like dengue shock syndrome and hemorrhagic fever, with some cases showing neurological issues.
- The neurological complications are thought to arise from the virus's ability to affect the nervous system or due to immune reactions, and a specific MRI pattern called the double-doughnut sign has been seen in some cases.
- A reported case of dengue encephalitis involved various movement disorders during recovery, and the patient was treated with steroids and benzodiazepines, eventually leading to symptom improvement; however, such movement disorders are rare and usually resolve on their own.
