Introduction: Hypogonadism is a common comorbidity associated with several metabolic disorders including type 2 diabetes (T2D) that can remain undetected without proper screening. Here, we evaluated the prevalence of hypogonadism in Indian male patients with T2D with or without obesity.

Methods: In this prospective, observational study, male patients with T2D and hypogonadism were evaluated symptomatically using the androgen deficiency in ageing male (ADAM) questionnaire at baseline and confirmed on the basis of total testosterone (TT) levels (<300 ng/dL) at Days 5-7 (Visit 2) and 9-14 (Visit 4) assessed after 12 hours of fasting between 8 AM and 10 AM.

Demand for energy is one of the crises that the whole world is now facing as a direct result of the rapid depletion of fossil resources. Because of the many positive effects that biodiesel may have on both the economy and the environment, a significant amount of study has been conducted on the topic in recent years. In order to improve the physiochemical qualities, a number of researchers have been conducting studies to determine whether or not biodiesel can be used effectively as a renewable fuel in diesel engines.

Operating wind power generation system at optimal power point is essential which is achieved by employing a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control strategy. This literature focuses on developing a novel particle swarm optimization algorithm enhanced radial basis function neural network supported TSR based MPPT control strategy for Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based wind power generation system. The proposed hybrid MPPT control strategy estimates the effective wind speed and estimates the optimal rotor speed of the wind power generation system to track the maximum power.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates a mercury-based formulation for potential anticancer use, focusing on its physicochemical properties and cytotoxicity.
  • Characterization techniques confirmed the formulation contains stable spherical mercuric compounds and demonstrates effectiveness against cancer cells (MCF-7) with low toxicity to normal cells (HEK 293).
  • In vivo tests on zebrafish embryos indicated a safe dosage of 100μg/ml, though higher doses caused significant malformations, highlighting the need for further research on its effectiveness and inflammatory response in mice.
