Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the cognitive function of anemic pregnant South Indian women by measuring reaction times (RT) in visual and auditory tasks during early and late pregnancy.
- Results indicated that women with anemia exhibited significantly longer reaction times compared to non-anemic women, with notable statistical differences in both visual and auditory assessments.
- The findings suggest a clear connection between anemia and impaired cognitive processing, highlighting the need for better management of anemia during pregnancy to support cognitive health.
Article Synopsis
- Testosterone is a key male hormone involved in sex differentiation and development, primarily produced in the testes and related glands from cholesterol.
- The review highlights various studies exploring testosterone's potential benefits beyond its current use for treating specific hormonal disorders, specifically looking at its effects on conditions like anxiety and diabetes.

- The study investigates the impact of internet addiction (IA) on sleep quality among school children in Pondicherry, focusing on students from grades six to ten with over a year of internet access.
- Data was collected from 350 students using Young's Internet Addiction Test and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, revealing that a higher percentage of adolescents exhibited moderate IA compared to children.
- The findings indicate a significant relationship between IA and poor sleep quality in adolescents, emphasizing the need for awareness and regulation of internet use to promote better sleep hygiene.
Nickel-substituted copper ferrite nanoparticles (NP) (CuNiFeO) were prepared using a cost-effective hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern revealed a single-phase cubic spinel structure. The increase in lattice parameters and decrease in crystallite size are associated with the replacement of Cu ions by Ni ions in the host lattice of copper ferrite.
