Cholelithiasis and Its Management: A Clinical Study | Chapter 7 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 18

Background: The goal of this study was to look into the clinical presentation, incidence, and differences in presentation of Cholelithiasis in different age/sex groups, as well as the various therapy options.

Methods: This study was conducted at our hospital's department of general surgery on 50 patients who presented with symptoms and signs suggestive of gallstones and were diagnosed with Cholelithiasis based on radiological and laboratory evidence from October 2016 to September 2018. The findings of the disease management, postoperative complications, and histological assessment of the specimen were compared to those of other research.

The majority of those affected are between the ages of 17 and 79. Almost all of the patients felt dyspepsia and discomfort in the right hypchondrium. The diagnosis of cholelithiasis was confirmed by USG abdomen in 100% of the patients. The patients in our study were on average 48 years old. Gallstones of several kinds were the most common. Next on the list are cholesterol stones, followed by pigment stones. Females made up 52% of the patients. All 50 patients had surgery, with 39 undergoing open cholecystectomy and 11 undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. All 50 gall bladders were sent for HPE, and 49 of them were diagnosed with chronic cholecystitis and one with adenocarcinoma.

Cholelithiasis is the most common type of cholelithiasis.

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...

Occipital Dermal Sinus Tract Causing Craniospinal Infection: A Review | Chapter 13 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  Dermal sinus is a rare congenital condition characterized by a pathological tract connecting the skin to deeper tissues of the central nervous system, potentially leading to severe infectious complications. It arises from a failure in the separation of ectodermal layers during early gestation. Diagnosing dermal sinus tract in newborns requires a careful physical examination, focusing on midline dimples in the occipital region associated with cutaneous abnormalities like hairy nevus or hyperpigmentation. The presence of drainage, abnormal hair distribution, or localized swelling may indicate a sinus tract. Regular examination for dimples or sinuses is recommended for infants and children with recurrent meningitis or infections. Early detection is crucial to prevent severe complications like meningitis, with Staphylococcus aureus being a common causative organism. Neuroradiological studies, including computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with histopath...

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...
