Assessment of Angle of Anterior Chamber with SDOCT in Patients Presenting to Tertiary Health Care Center: A Cross-sectional Study | Chapter 9 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 5

The goal of this study was to use anterior segment spectral domain OCT (ASOCT) to examine the normative data of anterior chamber angle in patients presenting to tertiary health care centres in central India. Dimensions: 120 A cross-sectional study was conducted on consecutive patients who presented to an ophthalmology outpatient department of a tertiary health care centre. The patients were all subjected to a thorough visual examination. Best corrected visual acuity, refraction, anterior segment examination with a slit lamp, fundus examination, gonioscopy with a 3 mirror Goldmann contact lens, IOP assessed with a Goldmann applanation tonometer, and OCT analysis of the angle of the AC were all part of the ocular examination. The trial lasted one year and six months. The institute's research and ethical committee gave their approval to this work. It was decided to gain informed consent. SPSS 16.0 was used to analyse the data. The AS-OCT parameters were tested in normal people in our study, and the results of 120 subjects were analysed. Females (0.4175 m, 0.4613 m) had lower nasal and temporal AOD than males (0.4583 m, 0.4142 m). The anterior chamber angle (measured in degrees) and the anterior chamber depth (ACD) were shown to be narrower and shallower in older adults in this study (measured in millimeters). Conclusion: This is the first SD-OCT study in Central India to provide normative data on anterior chamber characteristics in healthy people. These normative values will aid in the identification of patients with aberrant values that indicate anterior chamber anomalies.

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...

Empowerment and Leader Member Exchange towards Organizational Citizenship Behavior Readiness among Government Workforce in Malaysia | Book Publisher International

  State agencies are among the most significant entities that represent the public's needs, and their programmes are essential to a state's and the nation's economic growth and development. State agencies have been rife by public concerns for years, as demonstrated by the Public Complaints Bureau, as problems of inefficiency in service quality and delivery have yet to meet the public's standards. With the support of 15 employees from state agencies on Malaysia's east coast, this study aims to achieve three targets. The first and second objectives are to investigate the ties between leader-member exchange (LMX) and OCB empowerment. The final aim is to define the most significant factors that affect OCB willingness. A total of 288 people took part in the survey, which was conducted using a cluster sampling process. The survey items had achieved the necessary reliability, according to the pilot test results, and some sub-dimensions were renamed after factor analysis. ...
