Utility of Toll-Free Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) Helpline under National Oral Health Program (NOHP) - A Cross-Sectional Hospital Based Study.

Background: India launched the National Oral Health Program (NOHP) in the year 2014-15 to support the states for improved oral healthcare delivery and reduce the burden of oral diseases. The toll-free Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) with contact number 1800112032, was initiated to deliver oral health-related information to users and guide them for proper treatment on World Oral Health Day on 20th March 2017. There is scarcity of data regarding the utility and perception of users about IVRS.

Cutting-Edge Applications of Cellulose-Based Membranes in Drug and Organic Contaminant Removal: Recent Advances and Innovations.

The increasing environmental challenges caused by pharmaceutical waste, especially antibiotics and contaminants, necessitate sustainable solutions. Cellulose-based membranes are considered advanced tools and show great potential as effective materials for the removal of drugs and organic contaminants. This review introduces an environmentally friendly composite membrane for the elimination of antibiotics and dye contaminants from water and food, without the use of toxic additives.

Insight into the removal of nanoplastics and microplastics by physical, chemical, and biological techniques.

Plastic pollutants create health crises like physical damage to tissues, upset reproductive processes, altered behaviour, oxidative stress, neurological disorders, DNA damage, gene expression, and disrupt physiological functions, as the biosphere accumulates them inadvertently through the food web. Water resources have become the generic host of plastic wastes irrespective of their particle size, resulting in widespread distribution in aquatic environments. The pre-treatment step of the traditional water treatment process can easily remove coarse-sized plastic wastes.
