Association of High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Level with Central Obesity of the Children: A Case Study in a Tertiary Care Hospital of Bangladesh | Chapter 3 | Issues and Development in Health Research Vol. 2

 

Obesity is a form of adiposity that has been exaggerated. Weight problems in children have become more prevalent than conventional adiposity, which is no longer measured robotically in medical practise. Adipose tissue contributes to the secretion of several inflammatory cytokines, which drive the liver's production of high-touchy C-reactive protein (hs–CRP). The research was carried out to see if there was a link between high levels of hs–CRP and serious weight problems in Bangladeshi youngsters.

Methods: A total of 110 obese children aged 10 to 18 years with a BMI (ge) 95th centile were chosen, along with 55 age and sex matched non-obese children with a BMI (ge) 5th to 85th centile according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth chart. A structured questionnaire was created with demographic and clinical variables in mind. The hs-CRP levels in study participants were measured and subsequently linked with central obesity using the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR).

The prevalence of central obesity was 45.5 percent, and elevated hs-CRP levels were 46.4 percent in obese children, according to WHtR. Approximately 62 percent of obese children exhibited central obesity and an elevated hs-CRP level of (ge) 2 mg/L (high risk), which had a substantial positive connection with WHtR and was significantly higher in obese children.

Conclusions: Obese children with elevated hs-CRP levels had a high proportion of central obesity, suggesting that it could be used to predict future metabolic and cardiovascular complications.

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...
