Assessment of Self-Medication Practices and Knowledge Among Medical Students in Chengalpattu District: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: The practice of self-medication is wherein individuals initiate the use of medications without consulting a healthcare professional. College life is a period marked by academic, social, and personal changes. Due to their greater freedom and the pressure of academic success, students face various health issues.

An optimal deep learning approach for breast cancer detection and classification with pre-trained CNN-based feature learning mechanism.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most dominant kind of cancer, which grows continuously and serves as the second highest cause of death for women worldwide. Early BC prediction helps decrease the BC mortality rate and improve treatment plans. Ultrasound is a popular and widely used imaging technique to detect BC at an earlier stage.

Contribution of piezoelectric effect on piezo-phototronic coupling in ferroelectrics: A theory assisted experimental approach on NBT.

A new study explores the distinct roles of spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric polarization in piezo-phototronic coupling. This investigation focuses on differences in photocatalytic and piezo-photocatalytic performance using sodium bismuth titanate, a key ferroelectric material. The research aims to identify which type of polarization has a greater influence on piezo-phototronic effects.

Improvements in upper extremity isometric muscle strength, dexterity, and self-care independence during the sub-acute phase of stroke recovery: an observational study on the effects of intensive comprehensive rehabilitation.

Background: Stroke often impairs upper extremity motor function, with recovery in the sub-acute phase being crucial for regaining independence. This study examines changes in isometric muscle strength, dexterity, and self-care independence during this period, and evaluates the effects of a comprehensive intensive rehabilitation (COMIRESTROKE).

Methods: Individuals in sub-acute stroke recovery and age- and sex-matched controls were assessed for pre- and post-rehabilitation differences in primary outcomes (grip/pinch strength, Nine Hole Peg Test [NHPT], Action Research Arm Test [ARAT]).

Study on groundwater pollution and its human impact analysis using geospatial techniques in semi-urban of south India.

Groundwater recharging and thus renewable groundwater supplies will experience considerable changes due to climate change. The present investigation focussed to evaluate the susceptibility of subsurface water in rapid developing textile industrial region of Southern India. To determine the aquifer's susceptibility, the DRASTIC-LU Remote sensing and GIS based vulnerability model was applied and the results were compared with human activity risk (HAR) analysis to ensure the water borne disease on human health.
