Renal Function in Type 2 Diabetes Patients in Ile-Ife, Southwest Nigeria: A Clinicopathological Study | Chapter 15 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 18

The goal of this study was to find out how common diabetic nephropathy is in type 2 diabetics in Southwest Nigeria, as well as the clinicopathological correlations.

Descriptive, cross-sectional study design.

Renal Unit, Medicine Department, Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, Southwest Nigeria, throughout the duration of the study.

Methodology: A percutaneous ultrasound-guided renal biopsy was performed on 40 consenting type 2 diabetic adults out of 88 patients with chronic kidney disease in stages 3 and 4 according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes categorization.

Eighty-eight (48.1%) of the one hundred and eighty-three participants had clinical Diabetic Nephropathy, with a mean age of 58.05(6.10) years. Diabetes had been present for 9.55(4.1) years. Protein excretion was 0.55 g/day on average. Glomerular Filtration Rate was estimated to be 45.1(12) ml/min on average. Thirty-nine renal tissues (97.5%) had thickened glomerular basement membranes.The severity of glomerular lesions (r=0.480, p=0.002), interstitial alterations (p=0.602, r0.001), and vascular lesions all had a positive connection with systolic blood pressure (r=0.480, p=0.002) (0.429, 0.006). The glomerular lesions (r=0.500, p=0.001) and interstitial alterations (0.479, 0.002) were associated to diastolic blood pressure. The severity of glomerular lesions (r=0.457, p=0.003), vascular alterations (r=0.483, p=0.002), and diffuse glomerulosclerosis (r=0.407, p=0.009) were all linked to urinary protein excretion. Diabetic retinopathy was associated with glomerular lesion severity (r=0.406, p=0.009) and diffuse glomerulosclerosis (r=0.547, p0.001).

Conclusion: Diabetic nephropathy is very common among type 2 diabetics in Ile-Ife. The most common kidney pathology was glomerular basement membrane thickening. Blood pressure, protein excretion, retinopathy, and renal histology all had a favourable connection. Once diabetes mellitus has been diagnosed, treatment should be multidisciplinary.

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...

Empowerment and Leader Member Exchange towards Organizational Citizenship Behavior Readiness among Government Workforce in Malaysia | Book Publisher International

  State agencies are among the most significant entities that represent the public's needs, and their programmes are essential to a state's and the nation's economic growth and development. State agencies have been rife by public concerns for years, as demonstrated by the Public Complaints Bureau, as problems of inefficiency in service quality and delivery have yet to meet the public's standards. With the support of 15 employees from state agencies on Malaysia's east coast, this study aims to achieve three targets. The first and second objectives are to investigate the ties between leader-member exchange (LMX) and OCB empowerment. The final aim is to define the most significant factors that affect OCB willingness. A total of 288 people took part in the survey, which was conducted using a cluster sampling process. The survey items had achieved the necessary reliability, according to the pilot test results, and some sub-dimensions were renamed after factor analysis. ...
