Exploring third-order nonlinear optical behavior in bis[4-(2-aminoethyl) morpholine] cadmium diacetate tetrahydrate single crystals

A novel hybrid single crystal of bis[4-(2-aminoethyl) morpholine] cadmium diacetate tetrahydrate (AEMCA) with a bar-like transparent morphology was grown by the slow evaporation solution growth technique. The unit-cell parameters of AEMCA were determined as a = 8.8639(4) Å, b = 9.1035(5) Å, c = 9.2106(5) Å, α = 66.004(2)°, β = 73.603(2)°, γ = 70.161(2)°, and V = 629.63(6) ų by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of characteristic functional groups through molecular vibrations.

Electrochemical Investigation of Hexagonal-like CuMn2O4 Nanoflake Electrodes for High-Performance Supercapacitor Applications

CuMn2O4 electrode materials with a unique hexagonal morphology for supercapacitor applications were synthesized via the co-precipitation technique along with dual hydroxide treatment. Various characterization techniques, such as powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-vis), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS), were employed to assess the synthesized material.

A study to determine the effect of teaching using audio drama on knowledge regarding oral hygiene among visually impaired children of selected blind school in palanpur

A study conducted to determine the effect of teaching using audio drama on knowledge regarding oral hygiene among visually impaired children of selected blind school in Palanpur. Material & Method: The Evaluative approach and pre- experimental one group pre testpost test design was adopted for this study. Non probability purposive sampling technique was used for sample selection. The data were collected from 30 visually impaired children. The study was conducted at smt.indumatirajnikantmehta ‘anandniketan’ School forthe Mentally Divyang, Palanpur.

Exploring the role of systemic antibiotics in periodontal surgical therapy: weighing benefits against risks – a comprehensive literature based narrative review

Antibiotics play a significant role in both non-surgical and surgical periodontal therapy. However, with the rise of antimicrobial resistance, the necessity of prescribing antibiotics has become a topic of debate among many clinicians. This literature-based narrative review aims to assess the necessity of systemic antibiotics in periodontal surgical therapy. Administration of antibiotics in the prevention of postoperative infection in periodontal surgery is not justified in systemically healthy patients.

Preliminary Phytochemical studies of Terminalia arjuna bark extract via Soxhlet and Cold Maceration

The study investigates the phytochemical profile of Terminalia arjuna bark (Commercially available powder) extracts prepared using two extraction methodssuch as Soxhlet extraction and cold macerationwith solvents of varying polarity (ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, hexane, and aqueous). Preliminary phytochemical screening was conducted to detect bioactive compounds. The results demonstrated that Soxhlet extraction enabled a wider recovery of phyto-constituents compared to cold maceration.

A study to evaluate the effect of ergonomic training on musculoskeletal pain during clinical practice among student nurses in a selected institute, bengaluru

Introduction: Musculoskeletal pain (MSP) is a common occupational health issue in nursing due to physically demanding clinical tasks like manual patient handling, maintaining awkward postures, and prolonged standing. Student nurses are particularly vulnerable to work-related work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Bacteriological profile of Staphylococcus aureus with EICR (Erythromycin induced clindamycin resistant) and MRSA (Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus) in tertiary care hospital, Rajkot

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) remains a significant human pathogen responsible for a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from minor skin and soft tissue infections to life-threatening conditions such as pneumonia, endocarditis, and septicemia

Ichthyofaunal diversity and conservation status of pendur lake, malvan, Maharashtra, India

Freshwater lakes serve as important ecological units supporting fish diversity and providing livelihood resources to local communities. The present investigation documents the ichthyofaunal composition of Pendur Lake, a man-made freshwater lake located in Malvan Taluka of Sindhudurg district, Maharashtra, India. The lake covers an area of approximately 21 hectares with an average depth of about 4 m and is primarily utilized for irrigation.

A case study on the management of peripheral neuropathy with brihat vata chintamani rasa: an ayurvedic intervention

Peripheral neuropathy is a common neurological disorder characterized by sensory disturbances such as pain, numbness, tingling, and loss of vibration sense, often associated with diabetes mellitus and degenerative changes. Conventional management focuses on symptomatic relief and is frequently limited by partial efficacy and adverse effects. Ayurveda describes peripheral neuropathy under conditions such as Vatavyadhi, PramehaUpadrava, and Vata-pradhanaNanatmaja Vyadhi.
