A Case Report on Unusual Severe Superolateral Dislocation of Right Condyle Associated with Sagittal Split of Articular Eminence in Pan-Facial Trauma Managed with Inverted L-Plate | Chapter 08 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

 A difficult case for a maxillofacial surgeon is head and neck trauma, because not only must pre-injury anatomy be restored, but also the cosmetic aspect must be enhanced. The treatment of such patients is challenging and frequently involves the participation of a multidisciplinary team. One of the leading causes of severe trauma is unprotected driving or high-velocity crashes. Pan-facial trauma affects not only normal face structure but also normal functions such as vision (dystopia, diplopia, enophthalmos), breathing (airway) and olfactory senses, mastication and natural occlusion and intercuspation, deglutition, and the patient's overall appearance. In such trauma patients, restoring and rehabilitating the pre-injury shape of the facial skeleton involves artistic labour on the part of the operative maxillofacial surgeon. In the case of trauma, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) under general anaesthesia is the therapeutic option (GA). Various methods for achieving near-normal anatomy have been proposed. "Top to bottom" or "bottom to top," as well as "outward to inward" or "inward to outward," were offered in previous studies. The major goal is to restore the horizontal and vertical pillars of the face. This case was exceptional in that the complete mandibular condyle remained superolaterally displaced even after the zygomatic arch was fixed; the inverted "L" plate was employed to preserve the condyle in its natural position. Even in dynamic motion, the results were functionally satisfactory, and we advocate it as a viable therapeutic option for superolateral dislocation of the intact mandibular condyle.

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...

Risk Factors for Postpartum Psychiatric Disorders. A Review of the Literature | Chapter 8 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the risk factors for the development of postpartum psychiatric disorders through international literature. Materials and Methods: Throughout many articles in PubMed, Google scholar and PsycInfo, a great amount of recent data was gathered to identify the disorders that are most common as well as their risk factors. Results: After childbirth, most commonly women experience postpartum depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and postpartum psychosis. All the disorders have many similar risk-factors with the main one being preexisting psychiatric disorder and many similar symptoms too. Conclusions: Women after childbirth are at risk of experience many psychiatric disorders, such as postpartum distress, postpartum post traumatic stress disorder and even more rarely postpartum psychosis. It is important to provide comprehensive support to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the infant and this will b...

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...
