Article Synopsis
- Podoconiosis is a little-known form of lymphoedema with uncertain global distribution, and recent studies aimed to assess its presence in Guatemala and Idukki District, India.
- In Guatemala, researchers visited municipalities with suspected cases and ruled out podoconiosis in all examined cases, while in Idukki District, a large survey identified other causes of lower limb swelling, confirming no cases of podoconiosis.
- The findings suggest that podoconiosis is not currently endemic in either Guatemala or Idukki District, indicating potential success in addressing this health issue.
Background: Literature on the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD), work ability, and associated factors among dentists is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of MSD, work ability, and associated factors among dentists in Kerala, India.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 290 dentists (median age: 34 years, 47% male), selected from a list of dentists in a district of Kerala.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on functionalizing ZnO nanoflowers with various hybrid organic molecules to enhance their sensing capabilities for detecting benzylamine vapors in visible light conditions.
- - Four different porphyrin-conjugated molecules were used for functionalization, resulting in significant improvement in gas adsorption and sensitivity of the sensors, especially with the ZnTP functionalized variant.
- - Testing revealed a linear increase in response to varying concentrations of benzylamine, leading to high sensitivity (0.0292 ppm) and a low detection limit (197 ppb), supported by theoretical calculations on gas adsorption.
The field of environmental and water remediation faces a significant challenge in removing organic dyes from wastewater, particularly Rhodamine B (RhB), a stubborn dye used in various industries. Traditional treatment methods struggle with its resistance to decomposition, posing risks to water quality, human health, and aquatic life. This study demonstrates a novel approach to enhance photocatalytic efficiency for RhB degradation by constructing a MOF-5/g-CN composite through a facile mechanical grinding method, which is unprecedented.

Background: The preservation of semen quality and kinematic characteristics during cryopreservation is crucial for the reproductive success and genetic management of livestock, particularly in Bali bulls.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of adding purified green tea extract antioxidant Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in tris egg yolk diluent on the quality and kinematic characteristics of frozen semen from Bali bulls.
Methods: Fresh and frozen semen samples were obtained from Bali bull and divided into four different treatment groups.
