A Study of the Correlation between Brain-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) Levels & Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) in Heart Failure | Chapter 15 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 3

Background: A large number of patients with heart failure have a maintained ejection fraction. It's difficult to tell the difference between heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction and heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction. The study's goals are as follows:

 

BNP levels were measured in patients with heart failure who had a preserved LV ejection fraction as well as those who had a reduced LV ejection fraction.

To see if BNP can be used to diagnose heart failure with preserved LV ejection fraction in both groups and to see if BNP can be used to diagnose heart failure with preserved LV ejection fraction].

Methods: The medical records of young patients (20–40 years old) diagnosed with Heart Failure and admitted between 2014 and 2015 were examined in order to determine the proportion of patients with preserved vs reduced ejection fraction, as well as the relationship between their Brain-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) levels and Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) in both the grou

Following statistical analysis, it was discovered that approximately 36% of heart failure patients had preserved ejection fraction. In both heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), there was a negative connection between BNP levels and LVEF (HFpEF). Females made up the majority of the patients in the HFpEF group. The HFpEF group's mean BNP level was substantially lower than the HFrEF group's.

Conclusion: Heart Failure with maintained systolic function affects about one-third of patients, the majority of whom are women. In both groups, there is a considerable negative connection between BNP levels and LVEF percent. BNP levels can thus be utilised to distinguish between HFpEF and HFrEF.

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...

Study on Processing Method Influences the Effect of Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Consumption on Blood Lipid Profile in Rats | Chapter 8 | Current Research and Development in Chemistry Vol.1

Cassava is consumed in many tropical countries and is fast becoming the major raw material of many diets, especially in the bakery, brewery and pharmaceutical industries. In a study to determine the effects of various formulations of Cassava feeds on blood lipid profile in rats. Forty adult Wistar rats weighing between 120 and 150 g were divided into 4 groups of 10 rats each. The rats were acclimatized for one week; fed with different formulations of Cassava feeds adlibitum, after which the rats were allotted into groups. Group 1 was fed on Garri; group 2 on Cassava flour; group 3 on Tapioca, and the control group (group 4) on normal chow. After 4 weeks, each animal was anaesthetized by exposure to chloroform vapour and blood samples collected by cardiac puncture. Group 1 diet (Garri) significantly increased HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration and significantly decreased LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration (p<0.05) compared with the control group. In Group 2 (Cassava flour), t...

Ethnopharmacological Survey among Traditional Medicine Practitioners in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) for the Management of Pathologies such as Malaria, ENT Diseases, Diarrhea, Typhoid Fever and Anemia | Chapter 05 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Traditional Medicine Practitioners (TMPs) of Côte d'Ivoire are familiar with the therapeutic herbs. Medicinal plants have been shown to be useful in the treatment of common diseases such as malaria (KROA, 2004) and diabetes (N'GUESSAN et al, 2013) in several studies and scientific study. In the Abidjan District, the current policy is to integrate traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia into the national health system in order to improve population health coverage, particularly in the management of commonly encountered diseases such as malaria, ENT diseases, diarrhoea, typhoid fever, and anaemia. This research aims to increase the use of traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia in the national health system. Over the course of three months, fifty (50) PMTs in the District of Abidjan participated in this study. Plant therapists accounted for 30 of the 50 PMTs polled at the end of the study, or 60%. Traditional medicine centres use 61 types of medicinal plants from 36 famili...
