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...

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...

Diagnosis and Management of Scrapie in Post Mortem Goats by Immunohistochemistry | Chapter 6 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  The main objective of this study was to contribute to the annual passive surveillance for this pathology, since the goats are a species considered reservoir for the prion. A class of pathologies known as Transmissible Spongiform Illnesses (TSEs), which affect both humans and animals, includes scrapie, a neurological disease with a slow and deadly course that affects sheep, goats, and mouflons. Given that Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is the globally accepted technique for identifying classical scrapie in goats—a species thought to be a potential zoonotic disease reservoir. Chile in relation to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), is classified as a disease-free country. Scrapie is actively monitored for the sheep, but passively for the caprine species, which is why this study was carried out in slaughtered goats in the central north of the country (IV Region), to provide information to the surveillance system for this disease. Fifty brains of goats older than 2 years were used, r...
