Determining the Prostate Cancer Road Map Hypothesis in 49 Countries: From Iron-Deficiency Anemia (IDA) to Death | Chapter 14 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 9

Background: Deaths due to prostate cancer (PCa) in 2016 had in common iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in 2000, according to a follow-up analysis of the San Valentino (Italy) screening of cardiovascular illnesses.

Aims: The study compared total mortality for PCa in terms of ASDRs (Age-Standardized-Death Rate x 100000 population) to ASDRs of IDA and diseases that may cause IDA from the year 2000 to ASDRs of IDA and diseases that may cause IDA.

Methods: Researchers looked at the relationship between PCa, IDA, and 16 additional variables that could be linked to IDA in 49 nations. The ASDRs (Age-Standardized Death Rate x 100000 population) were used to extract data from WHO records (2018) in 49 countries for the years 2000, 2010, and 2016. WHO assessed the 49 selected countries (SC) to have "excellent completeness and quality of cause-of-death assignment" and "may be used for priority setting and policy evaluation." PCa, IDA, and 16 diseases: TB, gonorrhoea, syphilis, and chlamydia in females, other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs in both genders), diarrheal diseases, stomach ulcers, cirrhosis, IDA, HIV, digestive diseases, respiratory infections, and alcohol and drug addictions. Cluster analysis, Multivariate analysis, and the Residual Normal Quantile Plot were used to calculate the correlations with PCa.

PCa was found to be associated with IDA, HIV, chlamydia in females, and digestive illnesses. All of the other variables were found to be unrelated. The total ASDRs were greatly improved in terms of mean values (-25 percent ). However, the variations were extremely significant in most of the disorders, implying that averages and percent reductions should be used with caution.

Conclusions: PCa appears to follow a path that includes IDA, immunological depression, and chlamydia infections. Other than gastric ulcers and cirrhosis, digestive diseases are only marginally predictive. A viable approach to guard against PCa is chlamydia vaccine. Long-term prospective research should be evaluated.

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...
