Analysis of Vesicovaginal Fistulas in Tertiary Care Hospital: A Retrospective Study of 12 Years | Chapter 7 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 9

 Introduction: The first evidence of a Vvf was discovered in 1923, when Derry investigated the mummified remains of henhenit, a lady in the 11th dynasty's court who reigned circa 2050 Bc [1]. Urinary fistulas in the female genital tract are caused by difficulties after childbirth and the treatment of pelvic illnesses. Obstetrical reasons are the major causes of Vvf in poor nations like ours. The urine and vaginal tracts are anatomically close together, making the urinary tract vulnerable to harm after difficult and traumatic births, as well as painful gynaecological operations.

The goal of this study was to figure out what causes vesicovaginal fistula (Vvf) and how to treat it.

Methods: From January 1, 1994, to December 31, 2006, a retrospective investigation was done. Bellary's Vijayanagara Institute of Medical Sciences There were a total of 40 patients in the research. They were examined in terms of age, parity, causal factor, treatment style, and result.

The most common cause of Vvf was obstetric difficulties. The majority of the cases were surgically treated with a multilayer vaginal closure approach. The success rate on the first attempt was 93.33 percent.

Conclusions: Vesicovaginal fistula is caused mostly by a lack of intrapartum care and incorrect delivery. In 93.33 percent of cases, the primary closure is effective.

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...
