Article Synopsis
- Rapid population growth and industrialization in urban areas are significantly degrading water quality, particularly in the Doon Valley region of the Garhwal Himalaya.
- Groundwater samples were tested for six toxic elements, with results indicating that although the levels were below safe limits, molybdenum and nickel were the most concentrated elements detected.
- Machine learning models, especially the radial basis function neural network, showed strong accuracy in predicting various water quality indices related to heavy metals, although the multilayer perceptron model exhibited more variability in its predictions.
Article Synopsis
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, is often linked to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), leading to more intense inflammation and a reduced quality of life for affected patients.
- A study using National Inpatient Sample data from 2016 to 2020 analyzed hospitalized IBD patients to compare outcomes for those with and without RA, focusing on mortality, hospital length of stay, and total charges.
- The results showed that IBD patients with RA were older, had a higher proportion of females, and faced greater cardiovascular risks, indicating a need for improved management strategies for these coexisting conditions.
In the area of geochemical analyses of rock solutions, achieving a complete sample dissolution is a fundamental prerequisite for obtaining accurate, precise and reliable analytical results. The challenge posed by the presence of resistant minerals such as zircon, rutile, corundum, spinel, tourmaline, beryl, chromite, and cassiterite in different silicate rocks is a well-recognized challenge in geological studies. These minerals, due to their resilient nature, demand additional efforts to ensure complete dissolution during sample preparation.

Patan Academy of Health Sciences (PAHS) is one of medical schools from Nepal, a Low Income Country (LIC) implementing PBL for undergraduate medical education. This study aims to compare PAHS students' understanding and knowledge retention when taught through PBL and lecture-based classes and compare students' perceptions of PBL and lectures in medical education.

The glass samples were synthesised via conventional melt-quench method. The impact of europium ion (Eu ) on the structural, optical and luminescent properties of phosphate soda lime glasses has been studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive spectroscopy and photoluminescent techniques.
