A Brief Review on Magnetic Resonance Imaging Versus Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Diagnosis of Periapical Pathosis | Chapter 06 | Innovations in Science and Technology Vol. 7

 Any dental pathology can be diagnosed in a variety of ways, from simple to challenging. While cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is commonly employed, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is still in the experimental stage. The goal of this review is to compare MRI and CBCT diagnostic ability in the diagnosis of periapical pathosis.

Materials and Methods: From 2010 to 2020, a systematic search was undertaken utilising the electronic databases MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Science Direct to locate relevant papers. The search terms were magnetic resonance imaging, cone beam computed tomography, diagnosis, and periapical illnesses.

The total number of possibly relevant papers and titles detected was 3218. After duplicates were removed, 1288 publications were screened for titles and abstracts, and 29 were chosen for full-text reading. A total of 19 articles, including original research studies, case reports, and case series, were chosen for the systematic review. The majority of the research included in this review concluded that combining CBCT and MRI is necessary for a better and more precise identification of complex periapical pathologies. The fundamental advantage of MRI is its capacity to image soft tissues with nonionizing radiation, whereas the primary disadvantage of CBCT is lesion overdiagnosis.

In terms of diagnostic value, MRI has various advantages over CBCT. For an appropriate diagnosis of periapical pathogens, both MRI and CBCT are required.

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...
