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.

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.

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.

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.
