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...

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...

Risk Factors for Postpartum Psychiatric Disorders. A Review of the Literature | Chapter 8 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the risk factors for the development of postpartum psychiatric disorders through international literature. Materials and Methods: Throughout many articles in PubMed, Google scholar and PsycInfo, a great amount of recent data was gathered to identify the disorders that are most common as well as their risk factors. Results: After childbirth, most commonly women experience postpartum depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and postpartum psychosis. All the disorders have many similar risk-factors with the main one being preexisting psychiatric disorder and many similar symptoms too. Conclusions: Women after childbirth are at risk of experience many psychiatric disorders, such as postpartum distress, postpartum post traumatic stress disorder and even more rarely postpartum psychosis. It is important to provide comprehensive support to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the infant and this will b...
