STK1p Based on the Serum Thymidine Kinase 1 as a Tumour Proliferation Marker Detected for Risk Assessment of Pre-carcinoma to Carcinoma Colorectal Progression: A Meta-Analysis | Chapter 02 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 The goal of this study was to see if serum thymidine kinase 1 concentration (STK1p) could be used to predict the likelihood of progression from colorectal adenoma polyp/dysplasia to colorectal carcinoma using the TK1-IgY-pAb (CRC). The current meta-analysis looked at 25 papers that included patients with CRC (n=2,251), patients with colorectal polyp/dysplasia (n=1,165), and tumor-free controls (n=1,887). From January 1, 2009, to January 31, 2022, the publications were gathered from PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, CNKI, WanFang, VIP, and SinoMed databases. To calculate the mean difference, articles were analysed using fixed or random effect models. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the quality of the studies that were gathered. The PRISMA statement was followed in the meta-analysis. STK1p was found to be a significant differentiator between tumor-free persons and those with CRC and colorectal adenoma polyp/dysplasia (p0.0001). Meanwhile, STK1p levels in CRC patients reduced by 34.1 percent within one month of surgery (p0.0001). This study found no evidence of considerable publication bias. The researchers found that TK1-IgY-pAb is a reliable biomarker for early diagnosis of colorectal adenoma polyp/dysplasia or pre-cancerous lesions, potentially preventing progression to colorectal carcinoma and giving the patient the highest chance of survival. Combining STK1p with colorectal-associated biomarkers, as well as determining tumour stage and grade, could be beneficial.

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...

Occipital Dermal Sinus Tract Causing Craniospinal Infection: A Review | Chapter 13 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  Dermal sinus is a rare congenital condition characterized by a pathological tract connecting the skin to deeper tissues of the central nervous system, potentially leading to severe infectious complications. It arises from a failure in the separation of ectodermal layers during early gestation. Diagnosing dermal sinus tract in newborns requires a careful physical examination, focusing on midline dimples in the occipital region associated with cutaneous abnormalities like hairy nevus or hyperpigmentation. The presence of drainage, abnormal hair distribution, or localized swelling may indicate a sinus tract. Regular examination for dimples or sinuses is recommended for infants and children with recurrent meningitis or infections. Early detection is crucial to prevent severe complications like meningitis, with Staphylococcus aureus being a common causative organism. Neuroradiological studies, including computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with histopath...

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...
