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...

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...
