Background and aim This study evaluated the anxiolytic, antidepressant, and antioxidant activity of the methanol extract of Canarium resiniferum (MECR) leaves, and determined the total phenolic and flavonoid contents in this extract. Experimental procedure The anxiolytic effect of MECR (100, 200, 400 mg/kg, p. o.) was tested in mice using the elevated plus-maze (EPM) test, the hole-board test (HBT), and the light-dark box (LDB) test. Its antidepressant effect was evaluated in the tail suspension (TST) and the forced swim (FST) tests. The total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid (TFC) content was measured using standard colorimetric assays. Antioxidant activity was determined using the DPPH radical scavenging and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. Results and conclusion MECR, at all doses, showed dose-dependent anxiolytic activity. At 400 mg/kg, it significantly increased the time spent and number of entries in the open arms (EPM test), the number of head-dips (HBT), and the time spent into the light compartment (LDB) test compared to the control. In the TST and FST, MECR dose-dependently reduced the duration of immobility compared to untreated animals. This was significant for all doses except for 100 mg/kg in the FST model. MECR showed high TPC and TFC (90.94 ± 0.75 mg GAE/g and 51.54 ± 0.78 mg QE/g of dried extract, respectively) and displayed potent activity in the DPPH radical scavenging (IC50 = 177.82 μg/mL) and FRAP assays. These findings indicate that C. resiniferum has the potential to alleviate anxiety and depression disorders, which merits further exploration.
DFU_MultiNet: A Deep Neural Network Approach for Detecting Diabetic Foot Ulcers Through Multi-Scale Feature Fusion Using the DFU Dataset

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common problem among people with diabetes that can result in amputation of the affected limb. Modern DFU treatment and diagnosis methods are expensive and time-consuming. Today, the development of the computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) method makes it possible for pathologists to diagnose DFU more swiftly and accurately. This has led to a rise in interest in deep learning (DL) approaches based on CAD. In this study, we introduce a novel framework called "DFU_MultiNet," which focuses on the transfer learning approach to classify healthy and ulcer skin images using publicly available repositories. The proposed framework is developed to offer an efficient and robust method for DFU classification that determines the distinction between healthy and ulcerated skin. The proposed approach extracts features from foot samples using three well-known pre-trained CNN models: VGG19, DenseNet201, and NasNetMobile. Finally, these extracted results are merged through a summing layer to create a powerful hybrid network. Through obtaining impressive accuracy (99.06 %), precision (100.00 %), recall (98.18 %), specificity (100.00 %), F1-score (99.08 %), and AUC (99.09 %) the proposed "DFU_MultiNet" framework holds great potential as a diagnostic tool in healthcare and clinical settings.
The Tendency of Breaking Arranged Marriages in Indian Subcontinent and Ways of Peaceful Co-Existence in the light of Islam
(CRP, International Islamic University Chittagong, Bangladesh, 2010-12) Rahman, Md Masudur
Breaking arranged marriage has become of late a common phenomenon in the Muslim society of the Indian sub continent. For this, misunderstanding, clash and quarrels break out inside the family and society. Family loses money, peace and tranquility. This is disgusting burden for the society and obstacles to development also. This article discusses the reasons of breaking arranged marriages and has given a suggestion to reduce the tendency of misunderstanding of the conjugal life in the light of the religion of Islam.
