Determinants of Perinatal Morbidity and Mortality Due to Preterm Deliveries in a Referral Hospital, in Rural India, a Cross Sectional Study | Chapter 17 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 7

 Preterm birth is the most serious problem in modern obstetrics, and it is the primary cause of 24 percent of neonatal fatalities, according to the World Health Organization. Despite having the highest number of births and neonatal mortality in the world, there is a scarcity of data on preterm birth in India. Prematurity and its consequences are responsible for 15% of all neonatal deaths, according to current statistics. The goal of this study was to determine the perinatal morbidity and mortality associated with preterm deliveries at a rural Indian referral hospital. The amount of preterm morbidity and mortality over three years was estimated using a cross-sectional study methodology. 3843 women are expecting. There were 27 cases of twins (24 preterm twins and three term twins) and two cases of triplets in Pune (preterm). 476 (12.2 percent) of the 3874 babies were preterm after the neonates with fatal congenital defects were removed. The study looked at 448 pregnant women (24 preterm twins and 2 preterm triplets) who gave birth to 476 premature babies, excluding those with fatal congenital defects. In this study, preterm births were revealed to be the cause of 61.50 percent of perinatal deaths. Out of 476 preterm babies, there were 83 stillbirths and 120 early neonatal deaths, resulting in a perinatal mortality rate of 426.4 per thousand preterm births. RDS, septicemia, IUGR, and newborn asphyxia are among conditions that can occur during pregnancy. RDS (18.32%), septicemia (22.5%), very preterm (14.16%), and birth asphyxia were all found to be strongly associated to infant death (26 percent). This study shows that raising awareness about the importance of registering pregnant women for prenatal care will help reduce perinatal fatalities. Preterm births, stillbirths, and neonatal fatalities can all be avoided if prenatal registration is done early in the pregnancy. To make a major dent in early newborn fatalities, every teaching institute should have at least level 2 neonatal care facilities.

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...
