Intubated critically ill patients are susceptible to secretion accumulation because of compromised airway clearance. Various airway clearance interventions are employed to prevent complications arising from mucus retention. This Delphi study aims to collect global opinions in an international expert …

This study investigates key drivers that contribute to the degradation of Dyploknema butyraceae (Chiuri) inside two neighboring community forests in the Chitwan district of Nepal. The research focusses on how anthropogenic and ecological factors, such as land use practices, socio-eco-nomic changes, management …

Within the middle hills of Nepal, OPs were found to prescribe the same operations, irrespective of species composition, forest conditions, and forest management objectives. The OPs play little, if any, role in practical forest management. The combined use of remote sensing and GIS technologies can be …

Background: Airway care interventions and prone positioning are used in critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) to improve oxygenation and facilitate mucus removal. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the decision-making process regarding …

This report presents a comparison of biodiversity benefits of tree plantation with areas managed traditionally outside the plantation in farmlands. The aim of the research was to provide data that can be used for evaluating and certifying biodiversity benefits of the plantations. The question used to …

Patients who are critically ill and receiving invasivemechanical ventilation are at increased risk for accumula-tion of secretions in the lower airways. Such accumula-tion of airway mucus can induce atelectasis and contributeto ventilator-associated pneumonia. Preventive airwaycare interventions, including …
