Seismic Induced Landslide Vulnerability in the Chittagong City, Bangladesh
Abstract: Chittagong is the second largest city of Bangladesh and evidences of hundreds of earthquakes that jolted this city and its surrounding areas. In this paper, we show the cause of slope failure in Chittagong city with the response of earthquake (seismic) activity. We have collected four in-situ samples from each of the upper and lower layers, i.e., eight samples from each of the seven different locations (Motijharna, Tankir Pahar, Batali …

Practical approach for Type 2 Diabetes: Role of DPP4 Inhibitors
Abstract: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4Is) have become essential in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) due to their ability to enhance incretin hormone activity, which promotes insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon release. These agents effectively lower HbA1c levels by 0.5–1.0%, are weight-neutral, and have a low risk of hypoglycemia, making them suitable for a broad patient population, including the elderly. The antidiabetic market in India is vast. Gliptin as group row …
