Abstract: This study aimed to assess heavy metals in the surface sediments of the Bharalu river, India. Metal concentrations ranged from 6.65-54.6 mg/kg for Ni, 25.2-250.0 mg/kg for Zn, 83.3-139.1 mg/kg for Pb, and 11940.0-31250.0 mg/kg for Fe. The level of metal ... ...

Abstract	This study aimed to assess heavy metals in the surface sediments of the Bharalu river, India. Metal concentrations ranged from 6.65-54.6 mg/kg for Ni, 25.2-250.0 mg/kg for Zn, 83.3-139.1 mg/kg for Pb, and 11940.0-31250.0 mg/kg for Fe. The level of metal contamination was assessed using sediment quality guidelines, geo-accumulation index (Igeo), enrichment factor (EF), pollution Load Index (PLI),Nemerow's pollution index (PIN), and potential ecological risk index. Pb exceeded the sediment quality guidelines at all sites indicating a potential threat to the river ecosystem. (Igeo) and EF also showed moderate to severe enrichment for Pb. Potential ecological risk (RI) showed low risk in the sediments, and Pb is the major contributor to ecological risk. Overall, pollution indices revealed comparably higher contamination of the sediments in the downstream sites than in the upstream site. PCA and correlation matrix analysis indicated both anthropogenic and natural origins for metals. Among anthropogenic sources, urban discharges and waste dumping could be mainly attributed to metal contamination in the river sediments. These findings may aid in developing future river management methods explicitly aimed at tackling heavy metal pollution to prevent further damage to the river ecosystem.

Abstract	Introduction: Hyponatremia is one of the common electrolyte abnormalities in intensive care unit settings. Hyponatremia may lead to an increased hospital stay, morbidity and mortality. Hyponatremia can occur due to a variety of iatrogenic as well as part of complex disease processes during hospital admission. The objective of this study was to find the prevalence of hyponatremia in patients admitted to the intensive care unit of a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the intensive care unit of a tertiary care centre for a duration of six months from 12 August 2015 to 11 January 2016. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 124/6-11-E/072/073). Data was collected from hospital records. Patients with abnormal serum sodium levels after admission to the intensive care unit were included in the study. Hyponatremia was defined as a serum sodium level less than 135 mEq/L. Convenience sampling methods were used. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated. Results: Among 102 patients, the prevalence of hyponatremia was found to be 21 (20.59%) (12.74-28.44, 95% Confidence Interval). Conclusions: The prevalence of hyponatremia in patients admitted to the intensive care unit was higher than in other studies conducted in similar settings.

Abstract	Field portable X-ray fluorescence (FP-XRF) has tremendous potential in geoenvironmental engineering as a qualitative assessment tool. Identification of the elevated concentrations of the selected elements (Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in various geomaterials like soil-like-material (SLM), incinerated bottom ash (IBA), construction and demolition waste (CDW), zinc tailings (ZT) and fly ash (FA) was performed by FP-XRF and compared with the local soil-Delhi silt. Comparably higher concentrations (mg/kg) of Cr (401.0), Cu (499.0), Pb (532.0), Zn (608.0) in SLM, Cr (195.0), Cu (419.0), Ni (93.0), Pb (931.0), Zn (771.0) in IBA and Cr (195.0), Cu (4000.0), Pb (671.0), Zn (7122.0) in ZT were observed. CDW and FA showed similar concentrations range as in local soils. FP-XRF was also used in-situ on local soil at 11 sites to examine its ability to identify the elements with significant variations in concentrations. The results showed high variability in Cl and S concentration values across the 11 sites attributed to the changing moisture content and dissolved salts. The concentration range for the remaining elements were similar at all sites. The verification of the detected elements through visual inspection of the spectrum was also carried out.

Abstract	Introduction: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are highly prevalent in men and the incidence increases with aging. The pathophysiology of LUTS is multifactorial and is characterized by voiding and storage symptoms. Acharya Sushruta described 12 types of Mutraghata along with its management in the form of single drug or compound formulations. Clinical Finding & Diagnosis: This is a case of LUTS secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia; the patient was a known case of urosepsis, obstructive uropathy, and presented with LUTS with a Foley urethral catheter in situ for refractory urinary retention. Interventions: Despite the poor prognosis of the complicated LUTS, conservative treatment was given as per the management principles of urinary disorders in Ayurveda which showed a great potential in the management of complicated LUTS. Conclusion: The bothersome urinary symptoms of the patient were improved along with improvement in the quality of life and better compliance was observed by the patient.

Abstract	Introduction: Fistula in ano is one of the challenging diseases due to the lack of ideal treatment modalities and its high rate of recurrence. Fistulas with multiple openings are very difficult to manage considering the preservation of sphincter muscles. Modern science has developed many techniques in this area but mostly all were failures and resulted in complications like anal incontinence. Ksharasutra therapy is accepted worldwide as the ideal treatment modality of fistula in ano by its simultaneous cutting and healing property. Main Clinical Findings and Diagnosis: In this case, a 37 year old male patient presented with complaints of swelling over the right perianal area and intermittent pus discharge from that swelling for 1 year. On local examination, there were two external openings at 10 and 11'O clock position 4 cm away from the anal verge and a sentinel tag at 6'O clock position. Per rectal examination revealed induration and tenderness at 11'O clock above the dentate line. Intervention: It was managed by a new sphincter saving technique, modified conventional Ksharasutra therapy to fasten the recovery period and minimize the postsurgical pain. Conclusion: Fistula was completely healed by 5 weeks. No complications reported from the patient and no recurrence was happened after 6 months of follow up.

Abstract	With the surge of cases during the second wave of COVID-19 in Nepal, a number of mucormycosis coinfection cases have also come to our attention. We present a case of a 65-year-old female who was admitted to our emergency department with complaints of pain, swelling, and tingling sensation of the left side of the face along with blood-tinged nasal discharge for 20 days. She had been tested positive for COVID-19 a month back and managed with oxygen support and corticosteroids. Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed invasive fungal sinusitis, with the positive black turbinate sign and mild extension along with the dura mater of the left temporal lobe, and left cavernous sinus. She was diagnosed with rhinocerebral mucormycosis and managed with systemic antifungal therapy and insulin. As per the treatment modality, surgical debridement could not be done because the patient did not give consent.

Abstract	Innovations related to judicious use of scarce water resources evolved by farmers and refined by non-formal researchers termed as Contemporary Water Management Innovations (CWMIs) are now being practiced in drylands by majority of farmers in India for human and crop survival during water crisis. The study was carried out during 2017-18 in purposively selected villages of Ananthapur district of Andhra Pradesh. A sample of 120 (farmers) and 30 (mixed group of scientist's, NGOs activist and other experts) were selected randomly on the basis of the presence of and association with functional water sharing groups (WSGs). For critical analysis, a combination of focused group discussions, case study and Delphi technique accompanied by knowledge index, adoption index, multiple regression, correlation and factor analysis were used. It was found that only 20 users owned bore wells and shared with 100 farmers who did not own any bore wells. CWMI were well accepted and integrated into the culture of the dryland farmers as they comprehensively understood the agro-ecological bases for their survival and sustenance in dry land areas. 14 factors were deduced for agro ecological crises, Majority (63.33%) of farmers possessed high level of knowledge about the agro-ecological reasons behind the CWMIs and 60.83% of farmers had high (70â€“86%) extent of adoption of all the CWMIs and 65.8% of farmers had adopted 12 out of the 14 different practices. Need for synergy and convergence among researchers, administrations, line departments, NGOs, extension system were felt as the facilitative factors for diffusing CWMIs.

Abstract	River Yamuna is one of the most sacred major tributaries of river Ganga. This study aimed to assess the level of heavy metals in monsoon and non-monsoon season in river Yamuna in Uttar Pradesh, India and to assess the possible source of contamination and its associated health risk. Except for iron (Fe), the mean levels of all metals were within drinking water safe limits in both seasons. Except for chromium (Cr), lower values were observed for other metals in the monsoon season could be attributed dilution effect. Multivariate analysis indicated that both geogenic and anthropogenic sources contribute to heavy metals in river Yamuna in monsoon and non-monsoon seasons. The health risk in terms of hazard index (HI) and fuzzy-logic hazard index (FHI) demonstrated that both HI and FHI values among children exceeded the safe limit in most of the sites in non-monsoon seasons and in few in monsoon season. For adults, HI and FHI values were within safe limit.

Abstract	: Computer technology is recognized as potential solution tool to effectively solve real life problems to improve the pace of rural development in India. Ideally, Primary infrastructures of rural chunk have a strong correlation with Computer Technology Artifacts (CTA) usability. In this, effort has been made to represent some coarse relationships as crude subjective metrics to quantify usability of hardware components that may affect informally or intangibly rural development in India. This paper provides a roadmap to business personnel and researchers to judge, and preferably, measure CTA usability to speedup rural development. This effort may also help to stop moving out people in India from roots known as villages of leaving basic work of agriculture into cities for employment in service sector. Keywords: Rural Development (RD), Computer Technology (CT), Information Technology (IT), Internet.

Abstract	The rising concentration of global atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) has severely affected our planet’s homeostasis. Efforts are being made worldwide to curb carbon dioxide emissions, but there is still no strategy or technology available to date that is widely accepted. Two basic strategies are employed for reducing CO 2 emissions, viz. (i) a decrease in fossil fuel use, and increased use of renewable energy sources; and (ii) carbon sequestration by various biological, chemical, or physical methods. This review has explored microalgae’s role in carbon sequestration, the physiological apparatus, with special emphasis on the carbon concentration mechanism (CCM). A CCM is a specialized mechanism of microalgae. In this process, a sub-cellular organelle known as pyrenoid, containing a high concentration of Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco), helps in the fixation of CO 2 . One type of carbon concentration mechanism in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and the association of pyrenoid tubules with thylakoids membrane is represented through a typical graphical model. Various environmental factors influencing carbon sequestration in microalgae and associated techno-economic challenges are analyzed critically.
