RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Covid-19 virus started from Wuhan, China and has brought the world down to its knees. It has catapulted as a venomous global phenomenon. This study focuses on the Covid-19 situation in India and its recovery time. METHOD: The study period is from March 1, 2020 to April 25, 2020. A random sample of 221 individuals found positive with Covid-19 from March 1, 2020 to 31st March is included in the study which is followed up April 25, 2020. There is a male preponderance in the sample with 66% of the Covid-19 patients being male and about 34% being female. Kaplan-Meier Product limit estimator, Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Log-rank test are used to analyze the recovery time of Covid-19 patients. RESULT: From the results of the study, it is found that the average recovery time of Covid-19 patients in India is 25 days (95% C.I. 16 days to 34 days). Only 4% of the patients get cured after 10 days of treatment. The recovery time of male and female patients is not statistically different. Recovery time of patients belonging to different age groups is also not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: This information on recovery time of Covid-19 patients will help planners to chalk out effective strategies.

Chlorophenols, typically 4-chlorophenols are highly toxic and non-biodegradable organic contaminants which pose serious threat to the environment, particularly when released into aqueous medium. The removal of these pollutants by efficient method has received worldwide concern in recent past. A new Fe3O4-Cr2O3 magnetic nanocomposite was synthesized by wet chemical method under ultrasonic irradiation. Microstructure and morphology of the nanocomposite were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Magnetic and optical properties were studied by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer respectively. The magnetic nanocomposite (MNC) was used as photocatalyst for effective decomposition of 4-chlorophenol in water under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation.

A combined sonochemical co-precipitaion method has been developed for the synthesis of a CoFe(2)O(4)-Cr(2)O(3)-SiO(2) magnetic nanocomposite. The synthesis involved the pre-synthesis of CoFe(2)O(4)-Cr(2)O(3) nanoparticles, which were subsequently coated with SiO(2) by treatment with tetraethyl orthosilicate. It was observed that the as-prepared CoFe(2)O(4)-Cr(2)O(3)-SiO(2) nanocomposite exhibits photoluminescence properties without the addition of any external fluorescent marker. The fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles (FMNPs) had a typical diameter of 30 ± 5 nm and a saturation magnetization of 5.1 emu g(-1) at room temperature. This as-prepared nanocomposite was used for staining cultured HeLa cells for fluorescence imaging.
