Bone Mineral Density and Serum Minerals in Pre and Post-Menopausal Women: A Comparative Study | Chapter 15 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

 Osteoporosis is a bone disease that causes bone thinning and raises the risk of fractures. It literally means "porous bone," and it causes bone mass and strength to deteriorate. As the illness progresses, symptoms and pain become less common. Although the exact explanation is unknown, it can be avoided. After the age of 35, bone breakdown outpaces bone synthesis, resulting in a gradual decrease of bone mass. When bone loss exceeds a certain threshold, osteoporosis is diagnosed. After menopause, bone resorption (breakdown) outpaces bone production. Osteoporosis is a silent disease that manifests itself only as a decrease in bone density until a fracture occurs. Osteoporosis is one of the most rapidly increasing health issues among postmenopausal women. Osteoporotic fractures are increasingly recognised as a leading cause of illness and mortality among India's older women.

The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between serum minerals and bone mineral density (BMD) in premenopausal and postmenopausal women.

The goal of this study was to determine serum mineral levels and their relationship to bone mineral density in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. The current research was conducted in a cross-sectional manner. For the study, 40 women were chosen from each group, premenopausal and postmenopausal, who had no medical, surgical, or gynaecological problems. Bone Mineral Density (BMD) was assessed using a Bone Densitometer, and T-score was used to classify the results as normal, osteopenia, or osteoporosis. In an autoanalyser, the minerals in the blood were measured. Microsoft Excel 2007 was used to examine the data. The students',,t" test was used to compare values between groups, and Pearson's correlation coefficient was utilised to determine the correlation.

The findings show that approximately 80% of postmenopausal women are osteoporotic. When compared to premenopausal women, postmenopausal women had significantly lower BMD scores and significantly lower serum mineral levels, according to T-score. In postmenopausal women, there was a strong positive connection between T-score and serum calcium and magnesium levels.

Conclusions: According to the findings, perimenopausal and postmenopausal women should consume magnesium-rich foods such as whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables (especially dark-green, leafy vegetables) on a daily basis to meet recommended magnesium intakes and maintain normal magnesium storage levels. Supplementation in the form of pills can be administered if these foods are not available or if serum levels are too low.

A Prospective Study about Safety and Efficacy of Perioperative Lidocaine Infusion | Chapter 09 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Opioids cause clinically significant side effects such as respiratory depression, immunosuppression, muscle rigidity, negative inotropism, nausea, vomiting, hyperalgesia, urine retention, postoperative ileus, and drowsiness. Perioperative opioids are a major contributor to the United States' and other countries' opioid epidemics. Non-opioid analgesics, particularly lidocaine, are becoming more common for perioperative use as a result of this. A total of 185 adult patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: control group I (105 patients) [fentanyl group] or group ii (80 patients) [opioid-free anaesthesia group]. Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg bolus followed by 1.5 mg/kg/h infusion intraoperatively, and 1.5-2 mg/kg/h infusion for 2-8 hours postoperatively were given to patients in both groups at anaesthetic induction. Intraoperatively, both groups received analgesic adjuvants such as diclofenac 75 mg, paracetamol 1 gm, and mgso4 30-50 mg/kg. If the mean arterial pressure (map)

A Brief Study of Middleware Technologies: Programming Applications and Management Systems | Chapter 15 | Novel Research Aspects in Mathematical and Computer Science Vol. 1

  Many platforms, services, applications, hardware, and operating systems are connected through the middleware layer. Because the middleware layer abstracts much low-level complexity and makes applications and software systems portable, it allows disparate systems to interface and function together in harmony. Middleware technologies enable software engineers to swiftly construct software systems and applications, allowing developers to focus on more important tasks. This chapter examines several types of middleware systems and discusses middleware capabilities, middleware operation, middleware's function in cloud-based systems, and the best middleware platforms to use. Middleware systems are widely utilised and can be found in practically any software system or application. Middleware programmes provide as a link between many sorts of systems and protocols. They serve as a mechanism for various systems. To successfully exchange information, it runs on a variety of operating system

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
