Background: Definite history is not always present in children with foreign body aspiration (FBA), hence necessitating a high index of suspicion.

Objective: To assess the predictive value of clinico-radiological variables among children presenting with features of suspected FBA and to document their course in a tertiary care teaching hospital.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective observational study, we included children aged below 15 years presenting with clinical features of suspected FBA.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to improve mutant induction in Kinnow mandarin using a specialized system involving plant bio-regulators and a suspension-based method, determining effective doses for gamma radiation and EMS to induce mutations.
  • - Results showed that exposure to 100 Gy of gamma radiation or 0.1% EMS for 3 hours significantly decreased various measures of embryogenesis and plant growth compared to controls, indicating the impact of these treatments on plant development.
  • - Molecular markers confirmed mutations in the regenerants from both treatments, suggesting a successful in vitro mutagenesis protocol for creating solid mutants in citrus species.

Objectives: No article on serum lipids in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and control subjects has been reported from USA. The primary aim of this study was to determine if any difference occurred in serum lipid levels in AS and control rheumatic disorders in two time periods, 1978-98 and 2000-10. The secondary aim was to investigate variables associated with lipid levels and if a difference was found between AS and control disorders.

With its exponential growth, the Internet of Things (IoT) has produced unprecedented levels of connectivity and data. Anomaly detection is a security feature that identifies instances in which system behavior deviates from the expected norm, facilitating the prompt identification and resolution of anomalies. When AI and the IoT are combined, anomaly detection becomes more effective, enhancing the reliability, efficacy, and integrity of IoT systems.

Objective: To examine the association between the performance of mapping biopsies and surgical outcomes postexcision of extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD).

Background: Primary EMPD is a rare entity associated with poorly defined surgical margins and difficult-to-access sites of lesions. Surgical resection with clear margins remains the preferred management method.
