Objective: To determine prevalence of burnout among junior dental professionals and the factors contributing to it in a Dental teaching hospital in Eastern India. Material and Methods: A structured self-administered questionnaire was used to conduct a cross-sectional study among 80 dental interns and house staffs. Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) scale was used to assess the degree of burnout present. Data collected was analyzed using Chi-square test.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.  Health and wellness, gender equality, clean water, and a host of other issues have remained top priorities for global development. However, “Resource Estimation & Planning,” which, in turn, is dominated by the “Human Population Trends” of various regions on the globe, plays a crucial role in the planning, execution, and achievement of these goals.

The deocata pipefish, Microphis deocata (Hamilton, 1822), is an obligate freshwater syngnathid endemic to the sub-Himalayan River systems of South Asia. M. deocata is known for its extreme morphological innovations, sexual dichromatism, sex-role reversal, and specialized paternal care. Currently, this species is reported to face severe threats from micro-habitat degradation and intense targeting by the indigenous ornamental aquarium trade. This communication provides a concise synthesis of M.

Distal humerus fractures are complex intra-articular injuries commonly managed with Open Reduction and Internal Fixation. Post-operative elbow stiffness is a frequent complication, particularly when immobilisation is prolonged or rehabilitation is delayed. Recovery may be further complicated in individuals with pre-existing neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy and intellectual disability.

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.

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.

In the present work, MgMn2O4 energy storage nanomaterials were prepared by the co-precipitation technique and reported. MgMn2O4 was comprehensively characterized using a variety of analytical techniques to obtain a better understanding of its physicochemical properties.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a globally important vegetable crop, highly valued for its nutritional and economic significance. However, its productivity is often constrained by bacterial diseases, among which Pseudomonas viridiflava is an emerging phytopathogen responsible for leaf spots, blights, and fruit lesions. The present study aimed to isolate and characterize Pseudomonas viridiflava from diseased tomato plants grown in soil samples collected from Behror region of Rajasthan (India).

Cardiovascular complications are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and diastolic dysfunction are frequently observed in this population, while the role of nitric oxide (NO) in cardiac remodeling remains insufficiently clarified. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between nitric oxide levels and left ventricular diastolic function in pediatric patients on chronic hemodialysis, as well as to assess the effects of erythropoietin therapy.

Immunomodulators are a diverse group of agents that modify the immune system’s activity to achieve therapeutic benefits. They can either enhance immune responses [immunostimulants] or suppress those [immunosuppressant’s] depending on the clinical need. These drugs play a critical role in autoimmune diseases, chronic inflammatory conditions, cancers and organ transplantation. The use of immunomodulators requires careful monitoring due to the risk of adverse effects like increased susceptibility to infections or immune imbalance.
