Transition metal ion-doped InO nanocubes: investigation of their photocatalytic degradation activity under sunlight.

The objective of this work was to study the effect of transition metal ion doping (1 wt% of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) in indium oxide (InO) on its photocatalytic activity to degrade organic dyes, which are considered potential environment pollutants. The transition metal ion-doped InO nanocube photocatalyst was prepared the hydrothermal method. After understanding the thermal behavior of the as-prepared sample (In(OH)), it was calcined at 400 °C for 3 h to obtain InO.

Knowledge and Attitudes toward Sexual Health and Common Sexual Practices among College Students - A Survey from Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India.

Background: Indian society is considered to have conservative attitudes regarding sex and is ambivalent about the concept of sex education. Previous reports suggest that a considerable proportion of Indian youth have inadequate sexual knowledge and hold a variety of sexual misconceptions. Methodological flaws limit the generalizability of some earlier studies.

Sexual Dysfunction among Men in Rural Tamil Nadu: Nature, Prevalence, Clinical Features, and Explanatory Models.

Background And Aim: There is a dearth of community data on nature, prevalence, clinical features, and explanatory models related to sexual dysfunction among men, particularly from rural India. This study attempted to examine different aspects of male sexual dysfunction and misconceptions in the community.

Materials And Methods: Villages in Kaniyambadi Block, Vellore district were stratified, and four were randomly selected.

Correlates of self-reported, autobiographical, and mini-mental status examination defined memory deficits following electroconvulsive therapy in South India.

Background: Cognitive deficits, self-reported or found following electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and their correlates are diverse. Despite the characteristics of people receiving ECT in Asia differ widely from the west, pertinent research from Asia remains sparse.

Methods: We investigated the correlates of self-reported, mini-mental status examination (MMSE) defined, and autobiographical memory deficits in a cohort that received ECT in a south Indian tertiary-care setting.

Sexual dysfunction among men in secondary care in southern India: Nature, prevalence, clinical features and explanatory models.

Background: Sexual dysfunction, common in general medical practice, is under-recognized and inadequately managed resulting in significant morbidity and reduction in quality of life. We examined the nature, prevalence, clinical features and explanatory models of illness among men with sexual dysfunction in a general healthcare setting.

Methods: We recruited 270 consecutive men attending a general health clinic.
