    Abstract Airway foreign bodies are common in children, and usually present as emergencies. However, they may sometimes present late, due to a number of reasons. Chronic lodgement of foreign bodies in trachea is rarer than that in bronchial tree. Flexible and rigid bronchoscopies have revolutionized the management of foreign bodies at large. Here, we report a successful bronchoscopic management of an unusual foreign body residing in the trachea of a patient for 15 years.

    Abstract With recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and next-generation communication technologies, the demand for Internet-based applications and intelligent digital services is increasing, leading to a significant rise in cyber-attacks such as Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS). AI-based DoS detection systems promise adequate identification accuracy with lower false alarms, significantly associated with the data quality used to train the model. Several works have been proposed earlier to select optimum feature subsets for better model generalization and faster learning. However, there is a lack of investigation in the existing literature to identify a common optimum feature set for three main AI methods: machine learning, deep learning, and unsupervised learning. The current works are compromised either with the variation of the feature selection (FS) method or limited to one type of AI model for performance evaluation. Therefore, in this study, we extensively investigated and evaluated the performance of 15 individual FS methods from three major categories: filter-based, wrapper-based, and embedded, and one ensemble feature selection (EnFS) technique. Furthermore, the individual feature subset's quality is evaluated using supervised and unsupervised learning methods for extracting a common best-performing feature subset. According to our experiment, the EnFS method outperforms individual FS and provides a universal best feature set for all kinds of AI models.

    Abstract Fungal communities colonizing Ophiocordyceps spp. plays a crucial ecological role in their natural habitat, contributing to infect the host larvae, and influencing their occurrence. Although associated fungi with the newly described Ophiocordyceps indica, from the Indian Western Himalaya remains unclear. Therefore, we untangled the culturable fungal communities associated with O. indica and soil adhered to it, collected from low-height areas of Himachal Pradesh, India. The study resulted in the identification of 111 fungal isolates representing 17 families, with maximum fungal isolates (36.03%) within Cordycipitaceae. Interestingly, a total of 24 genera were found associated with O. indica and adhered soil, of which 12 were common, 8 were exclusive to O. indica and 4 were only limited to soil. Additionally, the influence of soil physicochemical parameters on fungal diversity indices revealed a positive correlation with humidity and available nitrogen and a negative correlation with pH and available phosphorus. These findings provide insights into the culturable fungal diversity of O. indica and the soil adhering to it, thus can contribute to the understanding of host-microbial interactions. Furthermore, these associations can be explored as a source of bioactive metabolites to combat the unending industrial demands.

    Abstract Surface precipitation has been shown to occur on rapid time scales in clay and metal oxide mineral systems. The formation of surface precipitates is hypothesized to present new potential sorption sites for potassium (K), where K can become incorporated into newly formed interlayer spaces (e.g., between tetrahedral–octahedral–tetrahedral stacked sheets). The objective of this study is to determine the effects of newly formed mineral surface precipitates on K sorption. Potassium adsorption experiments were conducted by utilizing Al₂O₃ and SiO₂ sorbents in the presence of various cations (magnesium, zinc, and nickel) that helped to catalyze the formation of surface precipitates. Dissolved concentrations of elements were monitored via inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Solids were characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), and K surface complexation was analyzed via X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated bayerite, layered double hydroxides (LDH), and silicated LDH were formed as reaction products, thus creating new surface sites for potential K adsorption. The presence of Si increased K adsorption perhaps due to its role in the formation of LDH surface precipitates. When the differences between observed and theoretical surface area normalized K sorption densities were averaged, a 31% increase in K adsorption was observed in the presence of Si. XANES analysis indicated that the binding mechanism of K to Si is different than that of K to Al, perhaps due to the presence of inner-sphere complexation of K to Al-oxide. Samples reacted for one month versus one week yielded more intense XANES post-edge peaks which indicated that the K sorption complex changes over time. Overall, our findings provide novel insights into the mechanisms of K fixation in soil and has high implication in providing improved K fertilizer recommendation to growers.

    Abstract Determining reaction mechanisms that control the mobility of nutrients and toxic elements in soil matrices is confounded by complex assemblages of minerals, non-crystalline solids, organic matter, and biota. Our objective was to infer the chemical elements and solids that contribute to As binding in matrices of soil samples from different pedogenic environments at the micrometer spatial scale. Arsenic was reacted with and imaged in thin weathering coatings on eight quartz sand grains separated from soils of different drainage classes to vary contents of Fe and Al (hydr)oxides, organic carbon (OC), and other elements. The grains were analyzed using X-ray fluorescence microprobe (µ-XRF) imaging and microscale X-ray absorption near edge structure (μ-XANES) spectroscopy before and after treatment with 0.1 mM As(V) solution. Partial correlation analyses and regression models developed from multi-element µ-XRF signals collected across 100 × 100 µm² areas of sand-grain coatings inferred augmenting effects of Fe, Zn, Ti, Mn, or Cu on As retention. Significant partial correlations (r′ > 0.11) between Fe and Al from time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) analysis of most samples suggested that Fe and Al (hydr)oxides were partially co-localized at the microscale. Linear combination fitting (LCF) results for As K-edge μ-XANES spectra collected across grain coatings typically included >80% of As(V) adsorbed on goethite, along with varying proportions of standards of As(V) adsorbed on boehmite, As(V) or As(III) bound to Fe(III)-treated peat, and dimethylarsinic acid. Complementary fits for Fe K-edge μ-XANES spectra included ≥50% of the Fe(III)-treated peat standard for all samples, along with goethite. Our collective results inferred a dominance of Fe and possibly Al (hydr)oxides in controlling As immobilization, with variable contributions from Zn, Ti, Cu, or Mn, both across the coating of a single sand grain and between grains from soils developed under different pedogenic environments. Overall, these results highlight the extreme heterogeneity of soils on the microscale and have implications on soil management for mitigating the adverse environmental impacts of As.

    Abstract Most pathology of the thymus gland warrant its surgical removal; and this requires significant expertise and adequate medical set-up. This study aimed to audit the results of thymectomies performed in a specialised tertiary level centre in a resource-poor country. The outcomes of open and minimally invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) thymectomies were also compared. Out of 58 patients operated at Department of Thoracic Surgery, Manmohan Cardiothoracic Vascular and Transplant Center, Maharajgunj, Kathmandu, Nepal between October 2012 and January 2019, 33 patients underwent open thymectomy and 25 had VATS thymectomy. We conducted a retrospective search to look at operative time, blood loss and length of postoperative hospitalisation. The open surgery group was followed for an average of 32 months, and the VATS cohort for 38 months. No significant differences were found in mean operative times and overall survival between groups. In selected cases, thymectomy via VATS is safer and comparable to open thymectomy in terms of operative safety and oncological completeness. Key Words: Thymus, VATS, Thymectomy, Outcome.

    Abstract Trillium govanianum rhizomes are traditionally consumed as a raw powder and decoction for the treatment of health complications. Hence, the present study aimed to investigate whether aqueous and alcoholic extracts of T. govanianum rhizomes under hot and cold extraction conditions have similar or dissimilar chemical, nutrient, and antioxidant profiles. The total phenolics, flavonoids, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and energy values were estimated in all the conditionally prepared samples. The total phenolics (21.23±1.4 mg GAE/g extract), flavonoids (70.57±3.24 mg RE/g extract) were found higher in hot ethanolic extract (TGHEt), while cold water extract (TGGC) showed higher nutrients including amino acids (10.545±0.219 mg/g) and nucleosides (1.803±0.018 mg/g). The nutrient energy value (2.60 and 2.49 Kcal/g extract) was higher in cold and hot ethanolic extracts. Further, TGHEt scavenged the DPPH
