This paper introduces the Botox Optimization Algorithm (BOA), a novel metaheuristic inspired by the Botox operation mechanism. The algorithm is designed to address optimization problems, utilizing a human-based approach. Taking cues from Botox procedures, where defects are targeted and treated to enhance beauty, the BOA is formulated and mathematically modeled. Evaluation on the CEC 2017 test suite showcases the BOA's ability to balance exploration and exploitation, delivering competitive solutions. Comparative analysis against twelve well-known metaheuristic algorithms demonstrates the BOA's superior performance across various benchmark functions, with statistically significant advantages. Moreover, application to constrained optimization problems from the CEC 2011 test suite highlights the BOA's effectiveness in real-world optimization tasks.

Background: Selecting the optimal dose for clinical development is especially problematic for drugs directed at CNS-specific targets. For drugs with a novel mechanism of action, these problems are often greater. We describe Xanamem's clinical pharmacology, including the approach to dose selection and proof-of-concept studies.

Background: In recent years, brain banks have become a valuable resource for examining the molecular underpinnings of various neurological and psychological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease; however, the availability of brain tissue has significantly declined. Proper collection, preparation, and preservation of post-mortem autopsy tissue are essential for optimal downstream brain tissue distribution and experimentation. Collaborations between brain banks through larger networks such as NeuroBioBank with centralized sample request mechanisms promote tissue distribution where brain donations are disproportionately lower.

Background: The Medication Review in Cognitive Impairment and Dementia (MedRevCiD) checklist is a new tool designed to assist health care professionals in optimizing medication use in individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or dementia. It consists of 6 domains, each of which addresses a specific medication use issue such as medication management and adherence. The primary objective of this study was to compare the mean number of drug-related problems (DRPs) identified with MedRevCiD Checklist to the Medication Appropriateness Index (MAI) in older adults attending a primary care-based memory clinic.
