Introduction: Adolescent females in India particularly from rural areas indicate sparse sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information and are at risk of unfavourable sexual and reproductive health outcomes.
Objectives: The study was primarily intended to assess the effect of structured interventional education on awareness and practices of school-going adolescent girls about sexual and reproductive health.
Methods: This was an interventional study comprising of interactive strategies, namely peer-led approach, flipped learning, skit, scenario-based discussion and puppetry.
Article Synopsis
- * The study presents a coronene-dipeptide conjugate (Cr-o-FF) that self-assembles into two distinct stable 1D supramolecular polymorphs (Agg 1 and Agg 2f) in the same solvent and concentration, influenced by the method of solvent addition.
- * Agg 1 forms through a classical nucleation mechanism with monomers, while Agg 2f arises from preorganized oligomers in a nonclassical process, highlighting the importance of prenucleation clusters in the complexity and polymorphism of these
Article Synopsis
- The study emphasizes the importance of both macromolecule-macromolecule and macromolecule-HO interactions in the liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of biopolymers, highlighting a less recognized role of hydrated supramolecular structures in synthetic molecules.
- It reports on the LLPS that occurs when positively charged hydrated supramolecular vesicles interact with a dianionic chiral molecule, leading to the formation of droplets that serve as nucleation precursors.
- These findings demonstrate that the hydrophobic interactions in water, influenced by LLPS, can help create advanced functional materials, with implications for the design of new materials in aqueous environments.
We analyzed the issue of a young woman who wanted our opinion regarding uncontrolled hypertension. Her hypertension was discovered to have a highly unusual origin, but it is fairly prevalent in nations like India. A 19-year-old woman who complained of blurred vision was presented to an ophthalmologist, who diagnosed her with grade IV hypertensive retinopathy.

However, a lack of molecular-level understanding of the mechanisms underlying membrane fission and fusion processes in synthetic systems precludes their development as artificial analogs. Here, we report asymmetry induction of a bilayer membrane formed by an extended π-conjugated molecule with oxyalkylene side chains bearing terminal tertiary amine moieties (BA1) in water.
