Aim: To emphasize the importance of vitamin D supplementation.
Background: The incidence of vitamin D deficiency has been increasing worldwide, probably due to decreased exposure to sunlight and unbalanced diet. Severe hypocalcemia following vitamin D deficiency is rather uncommon, and this leading to seizures in adults is a rare scenario.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on synthesizing Magnesium substituted Cerium Ferrite Perovskites (CeMgFeO) using the citric acid-sol gel method and examines their properties across a range of magnesium substitutions (0 to 1).
- Various characterization techniques like X-Ray diffraction and spectroscopy were used to analyze the structural, magnetic, and optical traits of the synthesized materials.
- Results indicate that CeMgFeO perovskites exhibit exceptional dye degradation (99%) as a photo-Fenton catalyst and possess semiconductor properties with a narrow bandgap and weak ferromagnetism, outperforming standard oxides like CeFeO₃ and CeMgO₃.
