Honey has a long history of therapeutic properties for multiple diseases, including inflammation and oxidative stress. This review aimed to provide a better understanding and renewed interest in the potential role of honey in obesity control, obesity-related diseases treatment and weight management, with specific reference to its components and the effect of honey overall. There is compelling evidence that honey possesses the desired properties for this purpose, as seen in the , and clinical analyses discussed in this review. This review also highlights the components potentially responsible for the health benefits of honey. Honey and its components reduce blood sugar levels, improve insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism by reducing triglycerides, and reduce total cholesterol and LDL levels while increasing HDL levels that prevent excessive weight gain and reduce the risk of obesity and its complications. Further controlled studies are necessary to validate the role of honey in the management of obesity, both as a preventive and as a therapeutic agent.

Tetracycline (TC) is widely used in veterinary medicine and animal feed; however, TC residues in food pose a risk to human health. Thus, the sensitive and selective detection of TC is needed to ensure food safety. Herein, we developed a CRISPR-Cas12a biosensor with competitive aptamer binding to detect TC residues.

Tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) are extensively used as broad-spectrum antimicrobials. However, their excessive use and misuse have led to serious accumulation in foods and environments, posing a significant threat to human health. To solve such public issue, we have designed a novel dual-mode detection method, integrating colorimetric sensing with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology, for sensitive and rapid evaluation on TCs.

Enhancing the performance of 5ph-IPMSM control plays a crucial role in advancing various innovative applications such as electric vehicles. This paper proposes a new reinforcement learning (RL) control algorithm based twin-delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (TD3) algorithm to tune two cascaded PI controllers in a five-phase interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (5ph-IPMSM) drive system based model predictive control (MPC). The main purpose of the control methodology is to optimize the 5ph-IPMSM speed response either in constant torque region or constant power region.

Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome (KID) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the triad of hyperkeratosis, ichthyosis, and congenital prelingual sensorineural deafness, with less than 100 cases described in the literature. In addition to many other extra-cutaneous manifestations, these patients are burdened by two principal increased risk factors involving the skin: the risk of developing infections and the risk of developing malignant skin tumors, especially Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Trichilemmal tumors. We present the case of a 7-year-old girl with a unique genetic variant described to date, who developed 4 dyskeratotic neoformation.
