The breaking of inversion symmetry combined with spin-orbit coupling, can give rise to intrigu- ing quantum phases and collective excitations. Here, we report systematic temperature dependent Raman scattering and theoretical calculations of phonon modes across the inversion symmetry- breaking structural transitions in a quasi-one-dimensional compound (TaSe4)3I. Our investigation revealed the emergence of three additional Raman-active modes in Raman spectra of the low- temperature (LT) non-centrosymmetric (NC) structure of the material.

Article Synopsis
  • This study analyzed the effects of botulinum toxin-A on upper limb issues in chronic stroke survivors, focusing on those with significant spasticity.
  • The research involved 71 stroke survivors and measured changes in various outcomes, including upper limb activity, spasticity, and grip strength, before and three months after treatment.
  • Results showed no significant improvement in any of the measured outcomes, indicating that botulinum toxin-A may not be beneficial for improving upper limb function in this patient group with severe activity limitations.

Study Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: In this study, we hypothesize administering fixed-dose intravenous steroid (Methylprednisolone) intraoperatively would reduce neuroinflammation and enhance functional and radiological outcomes in decompressive surgeries for DCM. Primary objectives were to assess effect of intraoperative MP on modified Japanese Orthopedic Association (mJOA) score, Nurick grade, and MRI signal changes.

Article Synopsis
  • * Surprisingly, exposing CrGeTe to air leads to the formation of a stable ferromagnetic phase (CrTe with T ≈ 160 K) alongside its original phase (T ≈ 69 K), revealing a complex coexistence of two magnetic states.
  • * The study uses Ginzburg-Landau theory to explain this coexistence and suggests these findings might help develop new air-stable materials with multiple magnetic phases, challenging the common notion of instability in

Intimate partner violence (IPV) in India remains an entrenched and prevalent public health issue. Despite ample evidence of the widespread problem of IPV in India and associated mental and physical morbidities, far less is known about intervention models to reduce IPV in India. The aims of this meta-analysis and systematic review are to assess the effectiveness of community-based interventions to reduce IPV in India and to provide a narrative synthesis of these intervention approaches.
