Frequency and Risk Factors of Tracheomalacia in Patients Undergoing Thyroidectomy.

It was a descriptive cross-sectional study to determine the frequency and risk factors of tracheomalacia in patients undergoing thyroidectomy. One hundred and forty-nine patients underwent thyroidectomy at MTI-Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar between 1st January 2021 and 1st March 2022. The frequency of post-thyroidectomy tracheomalacia and possible associated factors were determined.

Biosynthesis and characterization of iron oxide nanoparticles from and screening its combating potential against .

Plant pathogens cause serious diseases to agricultural crops which lead to food insecurity in the world. To combat plant pathogens, various strategies have been developed including the use of agrochemicals. The overuse of these chemicals is now leading to the pesticide-resistant capability of pathogens.

Versatile Platform of Ion Conducting 2D Anionic Germanate Covalent Organic Frameworks with Potential for Capturing Toxic Acidic Gases.

Anionic covalent organic framework is an emerging class of functional materials in which included ionic species of the opposite charges play an important role in the ion conduction and selective gas adsorption. Herein, we reported a facile method to construct a series of germanate-based anionic COFs (Ge-COFs) by reticulating dianionic hexa-coordinated GeO nodes with anthracene building blocks adopting a topology in an extended 2D framework. A systematic change of pore properties in Ge-COFs was observed through the incorporation of three different alkali metal cations: Li, Na, and K.
