Determining the 94Ins/DelATTG Promoter Polymorphism in the Transcription Factor NF-Kb in Patients with Popliteal Aneurysm | Chapter 18 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 14

Popliteal aneurysms, which account for 85 percent of all peripheral aneurysms, have a poor prognosis and a high rate of amputation. Until date, it was considered that the -94Ins/DelATTG promoter polymorphism in the transcription factor NFB was implicated in its pathogenesis.

The goal of this study was to see how this genetic mutation affected patients with popliteal aneurysm.

The study included 48 patients with popliteal aneurysm (44 males, average age 74.5 years) and 49 healthy controls (19 males, average age 51.5 years). Each patient's duplex sonographic diagnosis of a popliteal aneurysm was confirmed by CT angiography. When the diameter of the damaged vessel was at least 15 mm, popliteal aneurysms were diagnosed. The diagnosis of popliteal aneurysm was ruled out in the control group by duplex examination. Comorbidities included smoking history, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP), hyperuricemia, coronary heart disease (CHD), and cancer. The -94Ins/DelATTG p for the NFB polymorphism

The id genotype of the -94Ins/DelATTG polymorphism was the most often encountered genotype with 50.5 percent (46.9 percent in the control group versus 54.2 percent in patients with popliteal aneurysm). With 35.1 percent (36.7 percent in the control group versus 33.3 percent in patients with popliteal aneurysm), genotype ii came in second, followed by genotype dd with 14.4 percent (16.3 percent in the control group versus 12.5 percent in patients with a popliteal aneurysm). However, there was no discernible difference in genotype distribution. In terms of allele distribution, the control group had 60.2 percent allele I and patients with a popliteal aneurysm had 60.4 percent allele i. There were no significant differences in allele d in 39.8 percent of the control group and 39.6 percent of patients with a popliteal aneurysm. Only male gender and smoking were shown to be associated with popliteal aneurysm in binary logistic regression analysis, but not for the -94Ins/ DelATTG genotypes.

Conclusion: There were no significant changes in the geno distributions of the -94Ins/DelATTG polymorphism with respect to the diagnosis of popliteal aneurysms, in contrast to male gender and smoking habits.

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...
