Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic contributed enormously to the psychosocial distress of Indian healthcare providers. The mental well-being of the healthcare community remains an underappreciated priority in India. The primary objective was to observe the results of an online brief mindfulness-based intervention on stress, anxiety, and depression, and the secondary objective was to examine its effects on mindfulness characteristics and World health Organization (WHO) quality of life among Indian healthcare providers during pandemic times.

It is a condition characterized by normal laboratory ranges of serum FT4 and FT3 levels, but serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels are slightly increased above the normal range.
Objective: The leading aims and objectives of the study were: (1) establishing a correlation between the presence of modifiable risk factors of ischemic heart disease in subjects with SCH.
Article Synopsis
- - Rickets is a condition leading to bony deformities and short stature, which can be caused by a deficiency in calcium (calciopenic) or phosphorus (phosphopenic), making early diagnosis and treatment very important.
- - A consensus from the Endocrine Society of Bengal aims to simplify the diagnostic approach for rickets, particularly in low-resource settings, and involved extensive discussions, literature review, and agreement by a committee of 29 members.
- - Key diagnostic steps include examining skeletal deformities, conducting specific blood tests, and utilizing radiographic imaging to confirm rickets, with additional tests recommended for unusual cases or metabolic complications.
In this work, the role of non-covalent n → σ* intramolecular interactions in bestowing stabilization to exceptionally low-lying LUMO molecules of Naphthalenediimides (NDI) and their radical ions have been investigated utilizing different electronic structure calculation methods at the DFT level of theory and X-ray crystallography. We compared the effect of electron donating groups (EDGs) and electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs), , OMe and F, respectively, at the -positon of the phenylphosphonium groups integrated at the 2,6-positions of the NDI scaffold on the intramolecular P-O interactions and the evolving electronic effects. The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis exhibited strong charge transfer from the imide O atoms of the NDI to the phosphorus atom of the phosphonium groups validating a donor-acceptor type of orbital interaction.
