Article Synopsis
  • Progressive vision loss is linked to anxiety, depression, and loss of independence, impacting social functioning and workplace productivity.
  • This study aimed to assess the psychological distress and life satisfaction of blind individuals in a suburban Indian community, utilizing surveys and clinical examinations.
  • Findings revealed significant psychological issues, with over 80% of completely blind participants experiencing psychiatric comorbidities, particularly notable between 6 to 15 years post-blindness onset.

Article Synopsis
  • - A new hybrid method for degrading chloramphenicol (CAP) was studied, combining sodium percarbonate (SPC), iron oxide nanoparticles (n-FeO), hydroxylamine (HA), and ultrasonic cavitation to enhance hydroxyl radical production.
  • - Under optimized conditions, this method achieved an 83.1% degradation of CAP using specific ratios of the components, lower pH, higher temperature, and certain treatment duration.
  • - The study highlights the effectiveness of hydroxyl radicals in the degradation process and suggests this approach could be a viable solution for treating pharmaceutical waste, with significant commercial potential.

A 39-year-old male patient presented to the outpatient department (OPD) with chief complaints of outward deviation of the right eye (RE) since six months of age, associated with a diminution of vision in the same eye since childhood. He had a history of spectacle use for distance for the past eight years. He was thoroughly evaluated in the OPD and diagnosed with RE high myopia with sensory exotropia.

Emulsion systems are extensively used in the food processing sector and the use of natural emulsifiers like proteins for stabilizing emulsion has been in demand from consumers due to increased awareness about the consumption of healthy food. Numerous methods are available for the preparation of emulsion, but ultrasound got more attention among common methods owing to its economical and environment-friendly characteristics. The physical effects caused by to bursting of the cavity bubble, result in reduced droplet size, thus forming an emulsion with appreciable stability.

Effluent containing tartrazine can affect the environment and human health significantly prompting the current study into degradation using a sonochemical reactor operated individually and combined with advanced oxidation processes. The optimum conditions for ultrasound treatment were established as dye concentration of 10 ppm, pH of 3, temperature as 35 °C, and power as 90 W. The combination approach of HO/UV, HO/US, and HO/UV/US resulted in higher degradation of 25.
