Study on Five Cases of an Accessory Left Vertebral Artery on the Aortic Arch | Chapter 19 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 18

Vascular alterations of the head and neck are widespread, although they typically go undiagnosed due to the lack of obvious clinical signs. Iatrogenic consequences or even death may emerge from a lack of knowledge of the presence and location of such changes. Given their potential clinical relevance, physicians and surgeons should be aware of such variances.

 

Variations in the number and origin of vertebral arteries are common, but they are rarely described in the literature. Each of the five case studies presented here is as follows: Case 1 involved a White 65-year-old man, Case 2 involved a White 89-year-old woman, and Case 3 involved a White 80-year-old woman (Case 3), An auxiliary left vertebral artery coming from the aortic arch was found between the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery in a White 96-year-old female (Case 4) and a White 95-year-old female (Case 5). In the literature, this is the most typical location for variations of this type. A left vertebral artery branching from the left subclavian artery was present in all five patients. The auxiliary left vertebral artery travelled cranially and entered the foramen transversarium at the C5 level in Cases 1 and 3. It was entered at the C3 level in Case 2. It was entered at the C4 level in Cases 4 and 5. In a population of 64 people, the prevalence rate was 7.81 percent. This anatomical variant was chosen at random and subjected to cadaveric evaluation. It demonstrates the potential frequency, and thus the clinical value, of a thorough grasp of head and neck vascular variants.

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...
