Background: Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1, is an effective antidiabetic drug promoting weight loss and providing cardiovascular protection. The original trials did not include participants from Saudi Arabia; hence, the study's findings are expected to be useful.
Objectives: Explore the efficacy, safety, and favorable effects of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide (1 mg) in patients with type 2 diabetes and those who received it as an off-license prescription without having diabetes.
Quality detection is critical in the development of prepared dishes, with distributional uniformity playing a significant role. This study used hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and Moran's I to quantify distributional uniformity, employing pizza as case. Pizza ingredients' spectra were collected, pre-processed with Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA), Savitzky-Golay (SG) and Standard Normal Variate (SNV), and down-scaled with Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

To address these issues, liposomal drug delivery has emerged as a promising approach.
