Maternal Serum Biochemical Indicators of Trophoblastic Cell and Endothelial Function at First Trimester of Pregnancy | Chapter 19 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 9

Background: Preeclampsia is a worldwide pregnancy complication, and one of the most important goals in obstetrics is to identify patients who are at an increased risk early. The exact cause of preeclampsia is unknown, but it is thought that a problem with early placentation is linked to the disorder's pathogenesis. With basal values of the biochemical markers related with the underlying placentation process, first trimester screening is critical over the second trimester for understanding the early beginning of the illness. The goal of this study is to determine the levels of serum biochemical markers in pregnant women during the first trimester, as well as the statistical significance and correlation of the data in support of trophoblastic cell integrity, endothelial function, and oxidative stress. Materials and Procedures: A longitudinal study was conducted on 86 pregnant women between the ages of 20 and 35 who were primigravidas with a singleton pregnancy and visited a prenatal checkup between 11 and 13 weeks of pregnancy. ELISA was used to test maternal serum for Placental protein 13 (PP13), Caspase 3, Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), and Nitric oxide (NO). The activity of xanthine oxidase (XO) was measured spectrophotometrically. A dry chemical analyser was used to quantify calcium and uric acid (UA). The mean SD values for mean arterial pressure (MAP) are 108.4 18.9, UA 2.01 0.85, TOS 12.83 5.17, TAC 24.10 14.28, XO 1.01 2.67, Caspase-3 1.76 2.22, PP13 489.77 53.6, Calcium 10.88 1.97, ADMA 19.03 17.08, and NO 1.16 0.75. Positive correlations were found between ADMA and Caspase-3 (r = +0.435), PP13 and NO (r = +0.241), TOS and TAC (r = +0.176), UA and ADMA (r = +0.176), UA and TAC (r = +0.168) while negative correlations were found between PP13 and ADMA (r = 0.158), NO & TOS (r = 0.114), UA & XO (r = 0.1 Conclusion: The study found that first trimester biochemical markers and their correlation predict trophoblastic cell integrity and endothelial function during placentation under oxidative stress, which could aid in identifying women who develop preeclampsia later on.

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...
