The primary objective of our study is to create a new herbal cream recipe using guava leaves to treat skin diseases. Skin conditions are best treated topically. Many medications seem to benefit more from the development of topical drug delivery systems with systemic effects due to a number of advantages over traditional routes of administration. Physiochemical tests are being conducted on the formulation. It is discovered that the created herbal cream will be both safe and successful in treating skin conditions.

Background: Mobile phone addiction (MPA) has emerged as a significant concern among adolescents. As mobile phones are increasingly integrated into daily life, their excessive use can negatively affect physical, academic and mental health. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and risk factors associated with mild and moderate MPA in adolescents from government higher secondary school, Tenkasi. Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of mild and moderate MPA among adolescents and identify socio-demographic, academic and psychological risk factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 adolescents from three schools in Tenkasi. Participants completed the Mobile Phone Addiction Test (MPAT) and socio-demographic data, academic performance and psychological well-being were assessed using structured surveys. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, applying descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, t-tests, and logistic regression. Results: 42% of adolescents exhibited mild MPA, and 15% exhibited moderate MPA. Socio-demographic factors such as age, gender, family structure and socioeconomic status were significantly associated with MPA severity. Additionally, academic performance and mental health indicators (depression, anxiety) were negatively impacted by MPA. Conclusions: Mild and moderate MPA are prevalent among adolescents in Tenkasi, with significant associations to socio-demographic and psychological factors. Early intervention strategies are recommended to mitigate academic and psychological consequences.
The term "mirror syndrome" describes how foetal hydrops and maternal oedema are comparable. It was initially described by John William Ballantyne in 1892. Because the mother's symptoms are similar to the fetus's the condition is known as "mirror syndrome." The mother experiences fluid accumulation in the same way as the baby does. The syndrome is particularly unusual and worrisome because of this mirrored effect.
