Study on Reducing Maternal Mortality from Direct Obstetric Causes during 2013 in Sudan | Chapter 8 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 18

Despite international agreements to improve maternal health, measuring, monitoring, and comparing mortality rates remains challenging. In 2013, researchers in Sudan conducted a study to see how maternal mortality from direct obstetric causes (obstetric haemorrhage, hypertensive disorders, and sepsis) changed after proper therapies.

Sudan has been doing MDR in both facilities and communities since 2009. (maternal death review). At the national and state levels, MDRCs (Maternal Death Review Committees) were established. A focal point was designated to each state, health facility, and locality. MDs (maternal deaths) were notified via phone, and all maternal deaths were assessed in an organised way. Maternal mortality (MM) is caused by obstetric haemorrhage, hypertensive diseases, and sepsis. Recommendations have been created to prevent MM. All states have approved and implemented management guidelines, care provider training, and the availability of necessary prerequisites for these circumstances. The MD was examined and analysed using SPSS version 18.0, and the resulting MMR (maternal mortality ratio) was compared to the years 2010-2012 to see if there was any improvement. In 2013, out of a total of 645,881 LBs, 1,110 maternal fatalities were reported (live births). With variances between states, the MMR was 172/100,000 LB. In facilities, there were 937 maternal deaths (84.4%) and 173 deaths in the community (15.6 percent ). Direct obstetric mortality accounted for 678 (61.1%) of all deaths, with haemorrhage accounting for 311 (28.0%), hypertensive disorders accounting for 116 (10.5%), and sepsis accounting for 110. (9.9 percent ). Hepatitis and anaemia accounted for 432 (38.9%) of the indirect causes. The majority of hospital deaths (75.5%) occurred when patients were admitted late from home, with 55 deaths. In comparison to 2010-2012, MDs from hypertensive diseases and sepsis have reduced dramatically, but MDs from haemorrhage have remained continuously high. Home delivery, late presentation, a lack of blood, and a poor referral system are the leading causes of maternal fatalities. MDs from hypertension and sepsis have dramatically dropped, whereas MDs from haemorrhage have remained stubbornly high.

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...
