This post was earlier cross-posted at Leonid Schneider's site, hence the unfrivolous tone. The version there is improved by Leonid's editing, background details and frame-story.
Welcome to the research innovations of Niyaz Ahmad from the College of Clinical Pharmacy (Departments of Pharmaceutics and of Pharmaceutical Chemistry), Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam, Saudi Arabia. They come under the general rubric of 'drug delivery' - an interdisciplinary, intersectional topic where there is room for nano-fabrications and faked electron microscopy, and for the usual biomed forgeries (see, for instance, the S. P. Vyas story). Dr Ahmad's oeuvre is growing rapidly with four fake papers already this year, but it's not large, and there is no broader lesson to be drawn from it; nor are there papermills, high-profile cancer cures or misbehaving Nobel laureates. But there is unexpected beauty, for Ahmad is taking data fabrication to the next level. And given the contempt displayed by the Saudi ruling family towards criticism from the rest of the world, I feel safe in point and laughing at his impostures without worrying about impact on his employment in Dammam.
One of these profiles is not like the others. This is Figure 3 from Ahmad et al (2020c) [22], "Different FT–IR spectra with an ATR attachment of BUD, PLGA, PVA, chitosan, physical mixture, and freeze-dried CS-coated-BUD–PLGA–NPs", and it is where I first encountered Ahmad's work. One of the spectra appears to be a Medieval map of the fjords of the Norwegian coastline.
The lowermost spectrum is BUD, plain Budesonide in the absence of nanoparticles to facilitate its delivery to the lungs, and it does not seem to have been plotted with the same equipment used for the NPs or their precursors.

BUD spectrum was taken when we started the study as a preformulation study and authentication of pure standard drug. Rest of them was taken when formulation was optimized. Therefore, it is looking different.
Other than the palsied quavery overhanging nature of the curve, the lack of any strong link between the wavenumbers labeling the fjords and the horizontal axis remains to be explained.Similar questions arise from "Characterization of Daunorubicin (DAUN), PLGA, Chitosan and CS–DAUN–PLGA–NPs", Fig 3 of Ahmad et al (2019e) [18], where Daurorubicin (DAUN) becomes the drug that induced such tremor in the FT-IR plotter.
The two uppermost spectra differ only in three short wavenumber ranges where (CS)–coated–DAUN–PLGA–poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)–NPs display an absorption dip absent from plain Chitosan.
If you believe the fanboys who wrote the Wiki entry, IFS compression never took off and Michael Barnsley's Iterated Systems company never repaid its investors because the dropping price of data storage and transmission took away the economic rationale. If you believe me, it was because the whole scheme was complete bobbins and the likelihood of finding a loophole in Shannon's Information theory is the same as the chance of evading the limits of relativity or thermodynamics or Heisenberg's Uncertainty inequality, i.e. zero.
But to be fair, the scheme did work well for compressing images of fern fronds, where each little frondlet and sub-frondlet looks rather like a scaled-down rotated version of the whole frond. Also it makes more sense when you have consumed twice the recommended dose of San Pedro cactus and spent four hours staring at paisley wallpaper, or so I hear from a friend.What brought these incontinent memories flooding back from the late-1980s (the golden age of fractals and Mandelbrot sets) was Ahmad's venture into Fractal Flow Cytometry, in Figure 7 of Ahmad et al (2020b) [21].
Panels (B) and (C) are composed of smaller, rotated sections of one another - they are pre-compressed. They're not quite fern fronds but they are triggering the paisley-wallpaper flashbacks. Ahmad again made an appearance in the PubPeer thread marvelling at this self-similarity, defending the integrity of Figure 7... or perhaps admitting it to be unreliable... but anyway, disclaiming responsibility for it.

These images were provided by technician.
Following the trail from [4] leads into the deep end of this corpus of work. Let's start slowly, and come back to [4] later. These artist's impressions of falling snow or the night sky within a globular cluster are in fact TEM images of a nanoemulsion of Amiloride, prepared with an ultrasonication technique, to be "used for intranasal delivery in the treatment of epilepsy": Figs 4B and 6D of Ahmad et al, (2018b) [9].
Unless, of course, they represent nanoemulsions of eugenol, "formulated by high pressure homogenization (HPH) and also high energy ultrasonication technique" as in Figures 3A and B respectively of Ahmad et al (2018c) [10], for "the treatment of wounds healings and anti-inflammatory". More specifically, a high-pressure-homogenised mixture of "Eugenol (EUG), Tween-80 and Labrasol".
A third potential identification, at least for the left-hand image, is as eugenol again, this time as the oil phase in a spontaneously-emulifying gel also involving "Tween-80 (surfactant), and PEG-400 (co-surfactant)". For "treatment in inflammation and periodontitis". Ahmad et al (2019d) [17] provides this Figure 4D:
We are not quite finished with the anti-inflammatory wound-healing properties of eugenol. Figure 8 from [10] again is this triptych of sections of "(A) untreated rat skin (control) (B) 0.8% v/v formalin solution [standard irritant], and (C) EUG-loaded NE nanoformulation treated rat skin".
Which is all very well except for the rats... until zooming in on (C) reveals it to be a brick wall, where the individual bricks are details from (A).
More curiously still, that brickwork is framed within the right-hand panel of another triptych, Fig 10C from Ahmad et al (2019a) [14]: an image of post-injury rat skin, regenerating without assistance except antibiotic treatment.
Still on this topic of rat scarification, please excuse the distressing pair of skin-wound montages that follow. Both compare the healing quality of curcumin nano-emulsions against other treatments: Fig 7 from [14] at left, Fig 7 from Ahmad et al (2019b) [15] at right. The first, third and fifth rows show identical injuries, which is not unreasonable if both papers emerged from a single salami-sliced study and use the same controls... but what are we to make of frames ascribed to clove oil and to eucalypus oil treatment?
This segue to ultrasonified or self-emulsifying curcumin gels was not gratuitous. All conjuring tricks and feats of legerdemain require a slow build-up before the prestige, and that was the first step. In the next step, Fig 10 from [15] is a compilation of H&E-stained slices of scar tissue... the luscious shade of blue-violet is not quite International Klein Blue, so we can pirate the images without risking a copyright claim from the estate of Yves Klein.
Enlarge A and B. Rotate them through 90° and reverse the colors.
Presto, blue-violet stain becomes yellow fluorescence, in the upper- and lower-right panels of Fig 12 of Ahmad et al (2020a) [20]: "Different type of formulations labelled with hydrophilic fluorescence probe (6-carboxyfluorescein) to mark the penetration of the 5-FU to deep skin strata."
It is not quite a rabbit from a hat, but producing "cow- and goat-ear pinna skin and rat skin treated with the formulation 5-FU-S (A) 5-FU-NE (B) 5-FU-NE-Gel (C)" is still a trick worthy of admiration and applause. For my next trick I will make an electro-spun collagen-nanofibre purse out of a sow's pinna. You do not need actual experimental results to publish made-up stories in academic journal if you are willing to transform and manipulate earlier data into something new, and Niyaz Ahmad could teach master-classes on those transformations.
I like to think of the next series of TEM nanoparticulate images as "Bubble Congeries", borrowing a term from Fritz Leiber. Who borrowed it from H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos, where the multidimensional, inchoate, incomprehensible entity known as Yog-Sototh sometimes manifests to mere human apprehension as a "congeries of iridescent globes" and a "rather large congeries of iridescent, prolately spheroidal bubbles". Lovecraft may in turn have borrowed the words from his more poetic friend Clark Ashton Smith, but I digress.
At left the bubbles are Fig. 6, "SNEDDS with a [Quercetin] of optimized Qur-SNEDDS", from Ahmad et al (2017b) [6] - self-nanoemulsified for greater bioavailability in oral treatment of cerebral ischaemia. The metadata on the TEM image includes the curious date "17/17/2015". For further perplexity, the color-boxed details of the image had already appeared in 2014, as Figs 1(D-F) from Ahmad et al (2014) [2], where they were identified as three different formulations: (D) PNIPAM-CUR, (E) PNIPAM-DMC and (F) PNIPAM-BDMC. Forged TEM metadata is the least of the concerns here.
For completeness, I note the overlap between these congeries and Fig 1D from Ahmad et al (2018d) [11], "... transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (D) images of quercetin mucoadhesive nanoemulsion." Again for treatment of cerebral ischaemia, this time optimised for nasal administration.We will come back to [11], and also to [2]. Dr Ahmad did comment on the PubPeer thread for [2], but only in response to earlier concerns about histo-stained tissue microphotography, and I can only assume that "blame it on the technician" applies to the later electron-microscopy questions as well.
This image was provided by technician.
But that's not all! The cluster is also Fig 10(d) of Ahmad et al (2017a) [5] where they have different diametric measurements and fill the role of chitosan-encapsulated curcumin...
While an enlarged detail of the cluster acquired new metadata and new bubble diameters to become Fig 2D from Ahmad et al (2018f) [13], where they are CS-IRN-PLGA-NPs: formed from poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid, coated with Chitosan and carrying a cargo of Irinotecan.
That should be enough, but it isn't, and the first appearance of the cluster was a detail of that enlarged detail. Below at right, Fig 7(a) from Warsi et al (2012) [1]: "moxifloxacin loaded nanoplexes (moxi-NPX) as vehicles for ocular drug delivery". Whoever came up with "moxifloxacin" as a name for a drug was being paid a bonus for every "x".
[H/t Diploon Cuspidatum]
Earlier I rushed past the other trails radiating out from [5]. Fig 10 contains other panels for other curcuminoids within the same delivery vehicle, and it offers Scanning Electron Microscopy as well -- to the right in this image. For comparison, though published earlier, SEM images in the left-hand column show the PNIPAM formulations from Fig 1 of [2].
The alert reader will notice that 1A and 1C, with curcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC), are excerpts from a single larger scene so their corners overlap (red boxes). Figs 1B and 10(c), PNIPAM-demethoxycurcumin and chitosan-BDMC NPs, are also the same (blue boxes).
Before moving on from [5] and leaving behind the excitement of curcuminoids, Fig 12 deserves our attention. It is more versatile than one might expect from a triptych of pickled, H&E-stained brain sections. For a comparison between Fig 12(a) (next diagram, above) and Fig 10A from [4] (below) reveals an area in common: not a rectangle of overlapping corners, but shaped more like one wing of a saloon door, for there are additional manipulations. Large sections of 10B are also duplicated. [4], you will recall, addressed the delivery of rutin to treat cerebral thromboses and infarctions (in rats)... I promised to come back to [4] and I was not lying.
The other half of 12(a) was not wasted. It links [5] to Ahmad et al (2019c) [7], where the drug of choice for cerebral ischaemia changed to safranal (saffron spice). The next diagram's comparison of Fig 12 (below) with (above) Fig 7A reveals another area of overlap, shaped like the other side of the saloon door.
Evidently safranal and rutin are closely related, and the same salami slices of whole rat brains serve to illustrate the neuroprotective effects of both (with a little help from photoshop). Here, Figs 8 from [7] and 9(C) from [4]:
Two messages are emerging here. First, the Safranal paper occupies a central position within the Ahmad oeuvre. Second, the range of available treatments for cerebral thrombosis in rats appears large at first glance but then narrows rapidly when one pays close attention to the details. Here, Figs 1 from [7] and 2 from [11]: confocal laser scanning microscopy, distinguishing non-mucoadhesive from mucoadhesive nanoemulsion gels. Formulated from safranal or quercetin? Does it matter?
A sequence of protoplasmic iridescent
Pictorial ingenuity on this scale has provided Dr Ahmad with a meteoric career, boosting his research productivity relative to any peers who waste time and resources, actually formulating drug vehicles and collecting data on their properties. For [1] he was a minor author, with a position at the Department of Pharmaceutics, Faculty of Pharmacy, Hamdard University, New Delhi. Eight years later he is ensconced in the Saudi higher-education system, with students of his own to mentor with his experience in research methods and ethics.
There remains one sequence of image metamorphoses, spanning this career from 2014 to a very recent paper. Specifically, the following papers are involved: [2] (PNIPAMs again); [7] (Safranal again); Ahmad et al (2019f) [19] (another form of liquorice squeezings); and Ahmad et al (2020d) [23]. There are cross-sections of rodent brains and nasal mucosa, extreme color transformations, and quilts or wallpaper decoration in Photoshop, but no paisley.
Beginning with [2], Figure 10 there consists of "Representative photomicrographs showing the TS of rats' brain (A, B, C and D) and nasal mucosa (E, F, G and H) for normal control, PNIPAM-NPs (placebo), CUR-PNIPAM, DMC-PNIPAM and BDMC-PNIPAM-treated groups, respectively after 14 days." The regions of cortex in A-D are unspecified. With only four rows in the Figure -- A to D, E to G -- and five treatment groups itemised, it was not clear which group goes with which image.

Figure 10. Representative photomicrographs showing the TS of rats’ brain (A, B, C and D) and nasal mucosa (E, F, G and H) for normal control, PNIPAM-NPs (placebo), CURPNIPAM, and DMC-PNIPAM-treated groups, respectively after 14 days. In the figure caption 10, this group (BDMCPNIPAM) is mentioned here by mistake. It was typographical error.
Here the contrast of 10A is slightly enhanced for greater visibility of the repeated textures comprising the right-hand third. Versions of the same section feature in [19] as Fig 10(d) and in [23] as Fig 11B, with different wallpaper enhancements and the color palette transformed. These palettes -- hot pink, intense blue, saturated red -- hint at the use of specific cytological stains, though these remain unidentified.

It is a common lining which is present in all the photomicrographs. But it was performed on different studies.
As well as Fig 10(d), have 10(e) and (f) felt the improving touch of Photoshop? This is a rhetorical question and a positive response is allowed.
Fig 10(f) turns out to link back to the author's "pink phase" in [2], and to that paper's Fig 10B.
Two more versions of this particular section appear as Figs 9A, C from [7], drawing that paper into the sequence, where 9C is distinguished by the patchwork quilt improvements around the edges.
These improvements become evident after color-reversing 9C and superimposing it on 9A so that the two versions cancel out except where they differ.
Now we can return to [2]. Close inspection reveals overlaps and duplications within the nasal-mucosal images, Fig 10H being a composite of fragments from 10E, G.
10E,G are also the raw material for Figs 10(b, c) from [19], "CS-PCL-NPs (placebo), CS-GA-PCL-NPs treated groups".
- Extreme color transformations and even inversions.
- FT-IR fjords.
- Fractal flow cytometry.
- The technician did it.
[23] is as good as any other place to finish. Figure 8 reports "Effect of CS-GA-PCL-NPs (10 mg/kg) administration on haematoxylin and eosin staining in the brain sections of the SHAM, MCAO, and CS-GA-PCL-NPs + MCAO groups. (a) Cortical area of SHAM group animal showed uniform distribution of neurons. Normal neurons with the characteristic conical outlines with no abnormal features are seen. (b) Tissues around infarcted area in the MCAO group show a focal area of vacuolation and neuronal loss. (c) CS-GA-PCL-NPs + MCAO group rats show partial neuronal loss." The copy-pasted sections within (a) and (c) call out for explanation...
... As does the overlap between (a) and (c).
Thank you for listening to my
