Determining the Effect of Injection Dexmedetomidine for Prevention of Pain due to Propofol Injection and Comparing it with Injection Lignocaine | Chapter 02 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

 Background: Local pain after a Propofol injection is a common occurrence. Different ways have been tried to alleviate the discomfort, but they have had mixed results. The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of injection Dexmedetomidine 0.2 mcg/kg against injection Lignocaine 0.2 mg/kg in preventing pain caused by Propofol injection.

Method: The study was started with written informed consent from the participants after receiving clearance from the Institutional Ethics Committee. In a randomised prospective trial, 60 ASA I and II patients between the ages of 20 and 60 years, of either sexe, were randomly assigned to one of two groups for elective procedures under general anaesthesia.

Injection Dexmedetomidine 0.2mcg/kg in Group I (Dexmedetomidine group), and

Injection Lignocaine 0.2 mg/kg in Group II (Lignocaine group).

In 5 mL normal saline, both were diluted. A 20 G cannula was used to secure the IV line, and a pneumatic tourniquet was used to apply venous occlusion to the forearm, which was inflated to 70mm Hg for 1 minute. After the study drug was injected, the tourniquet was removed and 25 percent of the predicted dose of Injection Propofol was administered intravenously over 10 seconds. The severity of pain was assessed using the McCrirrick and Hunter scale, after which the remaining Propofol and neuromuscular blocking drug were administered. Anesthesia was maintained with Oxygen, Nitrous oxide, and Isoflurane on intermittent positive pressure ventilation with Bain's circuit after endotracheal intubation. Muscle relaxant injection Vecuronium was utilised.

Results: Demographic data revealed no statistically significant differences between the two groups. In terms of pain reduction due to injection Propofol, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. In both groups, no adverse effects such as oedema, discomfort, or wheal response at the injection site were noted.

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...
