Clinico-Epidemiological Evaluation of Patients with Sinonasal Masses Attending a Tertiary Care Hospital in Jharkhand, India | Chapter 10 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

 Background: The nasal cavity can have a variety of masses that set it apart from the rest of the body. Nasal and paranasal sinus masses are prevalent in clinical practise. The study's goals were to analyse the clinico-epidemiological profile of nasal masses in patients who visited the ENT & HNS OPD at Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Ranchi from January 2013 to December 2015, and to categorise the nasal masses based on their proportion of occurrence.

Methods: The goal of this retrospective study was to evaluate clinico-epidemiological data from the ENT Department's admission register at RIMS Ranchi from 2013 to 2015. The total sample size for this time period was 240. The templates were created with MS Excel sheets, and the analysis was done with SSPS software.

Results: Based on a three-year data analysis of 240 patients, we discovered that nasal masses were more common in the 20-year-old age group (52%) and in males (68.4%), that the majority of the patients were tribals (72.9%), that the majority of them were from rural areas (60%) and that the majority of them were diagnosed as antrochoanal polyps (37.9 percent ). The most prevalent presenting complaint (85.8%) was nasal obstruction, followed by nasal discharge (52.9 percent ).

Conclusions: Antrochoanal polyps are the most frequent kind of nasal tumour, affecting mostly tribal men in rural Jharkhand and causing nasal obstruction. For benign lesions, surgery is the therapy of choice. Certain benign tumours have a high risk of malignancy, whereas others can have locally damaging characteristics and malformations.

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...
