Breast Lipomodelling Outcome Following Conservative Breast Cancer Surgery and Reconstructive Surgery in a District Hospital | Chapter 13 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 9

Lipomodelling has recently become more popular for correcting flaws and asymmetry after oncologic breast cancer treatment [1]. The current evidence on the efficacy of breast reconstruction using lipomodelling following breast cancer treatment is insufficient, and there are no substantial safety issues [2].

For both safety and efficacy, we verified our outcome results against the NICE guidelines. All lipomodelling cases performed in Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust between 04/2011 and 04/2013 were analysed retrospectively.

The trial involved 36 patients, with an average volume of fat injected of 113.91mls each session. The Cytori approach had the lowest rate of problems at 11%, compared to 44% and 45% for Coleman and body jet techniques, respectively.

The number of sessions for each patient, the length of hospital stay, and the amount of fat collected and injected in each patient all fulfilled the NICE guidelines criteria.

We didn't meet the guidelines in the following areas: volume change; no definite tool was used other than clinical assessment; 80 percent of patients had very good and good aesthetic outcomes, compared to NICE's 87 percent; and aesthetic outcome was absent in 8% of patients, compared to NICE's 2.7 percent. In terms of safety, we met NICE standards in terms of local recurrence rates of 1%, local infection rates of 1%, pneumothorax, and fat embolism (0 percent ). However, we had a higher rate of liponecrosis (13 percent vs. 3%), as well as liponecrotic cysts (8.33 percent vs. 7%), using the Body jet approach.

Conclusion: Lipomodelling is a safe operation that can be performed at District general hospitals with comparable results after breast cancer surgery.

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...

Ethnopharmacological Survey among Traditional Medicine Practitioners in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) for the Management of Pathologies such as Malaria, ENT Diseases, Diarrhea, Typhoid Fever and Anemia | Chapter 05 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Traditional Medicine Practitioners (TMPs) of Côte d'Ivoire are familiar with the therapeutic herbs. Medicinal plants have been shown to be useful in the treatment of common diseases such as malaria (KROA, 2004) and diabetes (N'GUESSAN et al, 2013) in several studies and scientific study. In the Abidjan District, the current policy is to integrate traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia into the national health system in order to improve population health coverage, particularly in the management of commonly encountered diseases such as malaria, ENT diseases, diarrhoea, typhoid fever, and anaemia. This research aims to increase the use of traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia in the national health system. Over the course of three months, fifty (50) PMTs in the District of Abidjan participated in this study. Plant therapists accounted for 30 of the 50 PMTs polled at the end of the study, or 60%. Traditional medicine centres use 61 types of medicinal plants from 36 famili...
