Diabetes is caused due to an inability of a body to produce or respond to hormone insulin causing abnormal metabolism of carbohydrate which can lead to rising in sugar level in the blood. This work proposed a fuzzy -  neuro hybrid control model to diagnose diabetes in terms of seven symptoms such as an increase in urination, increase in thirst, increase in fatigue, tingling in hands/feet, blurred vision, sores slow to heal and significant loss of weight. 15 patients were diagnosed with sugar levels as followed 9.6 mmol/l, 6.8 mmol/l, 9.1 mmol/l, 11.2 mmol/l, 6.5 mmol/l, 5.7 mmol/l, 11.8mmol/l, 8.9 mmol/l, 7.0 mmol/l, 11.0 mmol/l, 8.5 mmol/l, 9.0mmol/l, 12.4 mmol/l, 9.5 mmol/l and 10.4 mmol/l. The average diagnosis error is obtained as 0.05%, which is acceptable in medical diagnosis. In this regards, it is recommended that fuzzy- neuro hybrid control model is a good soft computing tool for diagnosing diabetes.

Apples, like other fruits, are exposed to stress during their growth and development in the field, also during harvest and the postharvest environment (processing, storage, and transportation). The refrigeration system allows for bulk handling of food products from harvest to market, ensuring that food products are maintained in their freshness and integrity for an extended period through careful management of storage temperature and humidity. This study investigated the effects of storage on the weight loss of apples (Golden Delicious fruits harvested at maturity), under refrigerated conditions at a temperature of 5±0.5°C and relative humidity of 82% and under ambient storage at a temperature of 25 ±0.5 °C and relative humidity of 60 %, over 3 months. The findings revealed that the two groups of apples experienced weight reduction at different levels. Apples placed at cold storage presented a loss of weight between 3.31g and 4.49g; however, apples stored at ambient temperature showed a significant loss of weight between 21.9g and 31.76g.

A 48-year-old man who is a known case of bipolar disorder was maintaining well on a combination of carbamazepine and quetiapine for 3 years until he developed fever, severe leucopenia and lymphadenopathy, along with significant loss of weight and appetite. A thorough investigation revealed Kikuchi’s disease as a likely histological diagnosis. Carbamazepine was discontinued and quetiapine was titrated for the management of psychiatric symptoms. The patient gradually made good recovery following discontinuation of carbamazepine and the diagnosis of drug-induced myelosuppression was retained. Clinicians need to be aware of the adverse effects of medications being used for long-term prophylaxis and other possible conditions that may change the course of drug effects.
