A Cross-sectional Study of Congenital Anomalies in a Tertiary Care Hospital in North East Region, India | Chapter 6 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 18

Congenital anomalies are structural and functional abnormalities, including metabolic disorders, that are visible at birth and are a major cause of illness and mortality in infants. Poor embryogenesis or intrinsic anomalies in the development process produce these birth disorders, which are linked to a number of risk factors.

Methods: From May 2016 to October 2017, we conducted research at the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences in Imphal for a year and a half. The purpose of the study was to find out how common congenital abnormalities are, as well as the proportions of different types of congenital deformities. Age of the mother, religion, parity, gestational age, sex of the baby, outcome, and birth weight were all looked into.

Out of 13658 births, there were 91 congenital abnormalities in total. In 0.66 percent of the population, congenital abnormalities were discovered. The most common congenital deformity was cleft lip (17.6%), followed by CTEV (13.2%), and it was more common in male term babies. The most prevalent were in the maternal age range of 18-24 years (34.1%), followed by 30-34 years (26.4%), and women with parity P0-P2.

Congenital abnormalities are frequently the cause of stillbirths and infant death. A level II targeted scan should be conducted at 18-20 weeks to detect anomalies and reduce the prevalence. In the community, there should be extensive information regarding common congenital anomalies, their outcomes, and treatment choices.

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Alkali Element Modification of Glucose Molecules as a Method to Dissolve Cancer Cells | Chapter 12 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  The present study highlights about alkali element modification of glucose molecules as a method to dissolve cancer cells. The central regulation of the mechanisms governing cell proliferation has little effect on cancer cells. Cancer cells are entirely independent of the central command and divide and proliferate on their own, making it challenging to activate their response mechanism. Precisely, this is the reason why they are at risk to the health of humans and/or any biological entities. Instead of trying to reconnect the central command of the growth control mechanism to cancer cells that are already out of the range, we present a method of using the cancer cell’s own irresponsive and uncontrolled growth mechanism to their disadvantage and destroy the cancer cells. We found that this is achievable in an atomic/molecular level study of the glucose molecule, which is the primary food source used for growth and energy generation by all cells in the body, including the cancer cel...

Occipital Dermal Sinus Tract Causing Craniospinal Infection: A Review | Chapter 13 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  Dermal sinus is a rare congenital condition characterized by a pathological tract connecting the skin to deeper tissues of the central nervous system, potentially leading to severe infectious complications. It arises from a failure in the separation of ectodermal layers during early gestation. Diagnosing dermal sinus tract in newborns requires a careful physical examination, focusing on midline dimples in the occipital region associated with cutaneous abnormalities like hairy nevus or hyperpigmentation. The presence of drainage, abnormal hair distribution, or localized swelling may indicate a sinus tract. Regular examination for dimples or sinuses is recommended for infants and children with recurrent meningitis or infections. Early detection is crucial to prevent severe complications like meningitis, with Staphylococcus aureus being a common causative organism. Neuroradiological studies, including computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with histopath...
