Impact of Individualized Education on Mothers' Knowledge and Practices in Providing Care for Preterm Babies in Uttarakhand.

Background: Preterm birth is a critical global health concern affecting millions of infants annually. Mothers of preterm babies play a pivotal role in their care but often lack the requisite knowledge and skills to provide optimal support. The study aimed to determine the status of mothers' knowledge and practices regarding the care of preterm babies as well as provide individualized teaching to enhance their performance by improving their knowledge and practice in the care of preterm babies.

Effectiveness and Toxicity Profile of Reduced Dose Sorafenib for the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Retrospective, Single Institutional Experience.

Background The treatment with sorafenib in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is affected by toxicity and discontinuation rates. There is limited data on whether ensuring compliance by reducing the dose of sorafenib can influence outcomes. Methods In this retrospective study, we used hospital records to retrieve data on patients treated with low-dose sorafenib (400 mg /day) from July 2017 to June 2022 at the Malabar Cancer Centre, Thalassery.

Hierarchically Promoted Light Harvesting and Management in Photothermal Solar Steam Generation.

Solar steam generation (SSG) presents a promising approach to addressing the global water crisis. Central to SSG is solar photothermal conversion that requires efficient light harvesting and management. Hierarchical structures with multi-scale light management are therefore crucial for SSG.

Oral Metronomic Therapy: An Effective Palliative Treatment Option for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer.

Introduction The majority of the patients with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer relapse within three years of standard first-line treatment. Access to novel therapies like poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors and antiangiogenic agents is limited in low- and middle-income countries. Oral metronomic therapy (OMT) may be an effective alternative treatment option in resource-limited settings.

Macronutrients-availing microbiomes: biodiversity, mechanisms, and biotechnological applications for agricultural sustainability.

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are the three most essential micronutrients which play major roles in plant survivability by being a structural or non-structural component of the cell. Plants acquire these nutrients from soil in the fixed (NO, NH) and solubilized forms (K, HPO and HPO). In soil, the fixed and solubilized forms of nutrients are unavailable or available in bare minimum amounts; therefore, agrochemicals were introduced.
