With an emphasis on memory-type approaches, this study presents a class of estimators specifically designed for estimating population variation in simple random sampling (SRS). The term 'memory-type' pertaining to the use of exponentially weighted moving averages (EWMA) statistic for the estimation, which utilizes the current and past information in temporal surveys. The study provides expressions for the bias and mean square error (MSE) of these estimators and establishes conditions under which their efficiency represses the conventional and other memory-type estimators. The theoretical findings are reinforced through a comprehensive simulation study conducted on hypothetically sampled populations. Additionally, the effectiveness of the proposed estimators is demonstrated utilizing real-life population data. The findings of simulation and real data application show the superiority of the proposed memory type estimator over the existing usual and memory type estimators.

Many diseases and disorders of the nervous system suffer from a lack of adequate therapeutics to halt or slow disease progression, and to this day, no cure exists for any of the fatal neurodegenerative diseases. In part this is due to the incredible diversity of cell types that comprise the brain, knowledge gaps in understanding basic mechanisms of disease, as well as a lack of reliable strategies for delivering new therapeutic modalities to affected areas. With the advent of single cell genomics, it is now possible to interrogate the molecular characteristics of diverse cell populations and their alterations in diseased states.

Early detection of cognitive dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is important for preventive measures due to the lack of effective treatments. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between enlarged perivascular space in the hippocampus (H-EPVS) and cognitive performance in patients with T2DM, and to determine whether it can serve as an imaging marker for cognitive dysfunction. 66 T2DM patients with cognitive impairment (T2DM-CI) and 71 T2DM patients with normal cognitive function (T2DM-NC) underwent cranial MRI scans and comprehensive neuropsychological assessments.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the loss of insulin-producing cells in the pancreatic islets. Patients with T1D have autoreactive CD4 and CD8 T cells that show specific features, indicating previous exposure to self-antigens. Despite that memory T cells are vital components of the adaptive immune system, providing enduring protection against pathogens; individuals with T1D have a higher proportion of memory T cells compared to healthy individuals with naїve phenotypes.

Introduction: Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a cyclical mood disorder that severely affects the daily life of women of reproductive age. Most of the medications being used clinically have limitations such as low efficacy, side effects, and high cost, so there is an urgent need to discover safer and more effective medications. Rutin is a natural flavonol glycoside with various pharmacological properties including antidepressant.

Background: Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a rare and recently described neuroinflammatory disease associated with specific autoantibodies. Anti-leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (anti-LGI1) encephalitis is a rare but treatable type of AE discovered in recent years. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative brain disease and the most common cause of dementia.
