Current Indicators of Nutritional Care in Children with Type 1 Diabetes in India: Do we Need a National Nutritional Guideline?

Background: Nutrition is an important pillar of management in children with type 1 diabetes. Indian food is heavily influenced by region, religion, traditions, seasons, and cultural choices. This survey was done to assess current practices and the need for India specific nutritional guidelines for children with type 1 diabetes.

Interactional aspects of care during hospitalization: perspectives of family caregivers of psychiatrically ill in a tertiary care setting in India.

There are very few studies on user-perspectives about mental health care services that explore perspectives of family caregivers in India. An exploratory study was undertaken to understand the perceived importance of various aspects of interactions with mental health service providers during hospitalization, from the perspectives of family caregivers. In addition, it also aimed at documenting their actual experience of interactional aspects of care during the hospitalization of their relatives.

Synthesis, growth, structural, spectral, thermal, chemical etching, linear and nonlinear optical and mechanical studies of an organic single crystal 4-chloro 4-nitrostilbene (CONS): a potential NLO material.

4-Chloro 4-nitrostilbene (CONS) a new organic nonlinear optical material has been synthesized. Employing slow evaporation method, good optical quality single crystals (dimensions up to 6×2×3 mm(3)) have been grown using ethyl methyl ketone (EMK) as a solvent. The grown crystals have been subjected to various characterizations such as single crystal X-ray diffraction, powder XRD, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), proton NMR, solid UV absorption, SHG studies.

Synthesis, nucleation, growth, structural, spectral, thermal, linear and nonlinear optical studies of novel organic NLO crystal: 4-fluoro 4-nitrostilbene (FONS).

A novel organic nonlinear optical material 4-fluoro 4-nitrostilbene (FONS), with molecular formula (C(14)H(10)FNO(2)) has been synthesized. Using ethyl methyl ketone as solvent, the synthesized material has been repeatedly recrystallized to minimize the impurities and good optical quality single crystals were harvested by slow evaporation method. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the grown FONS crystal belongs to monoclinic system with noncentrosymmetric space group "P2(1)".

1-Eth-oxy-2-meth-oxy-4-[2-(4-nitro-phen-yl)ethen-yl]benzene.

In the title mol-ecule, C(17)H(17)NO(4), the dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 42.47 (7)°. The nitro group is twisted by 7.
