Smartphone Applications-Based Intervention to Reduce Body Mass Index and Improve Health-Related Behavior Among Children with Overweight/Obesity: A Pilot Clinical Trial.

Objectives: To assess changes in body mass index (BMI), diet and physical activity (PA) of 8-15-y-old children with overweight/ obesity, following a smartphone applications-based intervention; and to understand facilitators and barriers for BMI reduction.

Methods: Children were enrolled through online sessions on childhood obesity for students, parents and teachers at five private schools in Delhi, and requesting parents who perceived their children as having obesity to contact the study team. Eligibility was confirmed through home visit by a technician.

Evaluation of lignocaine HCl as a therapeutic and diagnostic tool in myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome and internal derangement.

Background: Myofascial pain syndrome MPS is one of the most common causes of chronic musculoskeletal pain. It clinically presents with hypersensitive points in the muscle called "trigger points". Most of the time it remains undiagnosed/undertreated and this leads to severity in symptoms.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of road safety measures and their impact on the pattern and distribution of extracranial and intracranial hemorrhages in fatal head injury cases in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Introduction: In Uttar Pradesh, India, there are many fatal head injuries as a result of road traffic accidents (RTAs). Studying the pattern and distribution of intracranial hemorrhages, a frequent complication of severe head trauma might provide vital information on the efficacy of traffic safety regulations. To improve road safety tactics and lower fatal head injuries in Uttar Pradesh, this study intends to assess the effect of road safety measures on the frequency and distribution of intracranial hemorrhages in fatal head injury patients.

Metal-directed hierarchical superhelices from hybrid peptide foldamers.

A superhelix is a three-dimensional arrangement of a helix in which the helix is coiled around a common axis. Here, we are reporting a short 12-helix of α,γ-hybrid peptides terminated by metal binding ligands, self-assembled into a right-handed superhelix around a common axis in the presence of Cd(II) ions. Furthermore, these superhelices are assembled into hierarchical superhelical β-sheet-type structural motifs in single crystals.
