[1] Modelling the urban water cycle Current urban water management practices aim to remove stormwater and wastewater efficiently from urban areas. An alternative approach is to consider stormwater and wastewater as a potential resource substitute for a portion of the water imported via the reticulated supply system. A holistic view of urban water resources provides […]

[1] Biotechnology The following topics were reviewed: microbiological engineering (microorganism biochemistry, biomass production, bioconversion); enzymatic engineering (enzymology and biocatalysis, enzyme production, immobilized enzymes, enzymatic reactors); genetic engineering (mutation selection, genetic recombination); quality control of biotechnology products; valorization of agricultural and industrial wastes (methane production). [2] Biotechnology. An industrial view Biotechnological research has witnessed enormous progress, […]

Background: Laparoscopic surgery has been used for surgical access in a variety of situations. The gold standard treatment for cholecystitis in the West is laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic appendicectomy, on the other hand, has sparked debate due to its high cost and time-consuming existence, as well as the numerous trocar sites, which all add up to […]

The first paragraph is an introduction. In East Africa, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an unusual diagnosis. It occurs around puberty and is less common in females than in males. The author describes a case of a 21-year-old man who had blood-stained stool on occasion and was diagnosed with familial adenomatous polyposis coli. Following that, […]

Isolated Pulmonic Stenosis is a relatively uncommon cardiac lesion that causes a right ventricular outflow tract obstruction and possibly a fixed right sided cardiac output. The magnitude of the stenosis and the peak pressure gradient are used to assign a grade. When administering an anaesthetic to such a patient, a detailed understanding of the complexities […]

Background: Over a 5- to 9-year period (mean, 7.20.2), we found that glimepiride was more effective than metformin in delaying the progression from pre-diabetes to type 2 diabetes in non-obese subjects. Metformin was the first-line treatment for newly diagnosed diabetics who were overweight. Furthermore, neither group experienced any deaths or adverse cardiovascular conditions, which could […]

In diabetic patients, stenosing tenosynovitis is a common complication. The final treatment is the release of the A1 pulley (open or percutaneous). This research compares the functional outcomes and complication rates of two approaches for recurrent trigger finger in diabetic patients (open versus percutaneous release). Materials and Methods: Chronic trigger finger was treated in 114 […]

The aim of this brief chapter is to highlight Leeuwenhoek’s significant contributions to science through the invention of the microscope, an instrument that enabled him to observe a wide range of biological materials, including microorganisms, plant tissues, animal tissues, and observations in bodily fluids such as blood and sperm. He discovered spermine and other polyamine […]

Putrescine, spermidine, and spermine are polyamines that occur naturally in living organisms. They can be found in tissues and fluids of mammals. They communicate with a number of polyanions, including nucleic acids, since they are simple molecules. Polyamines help to keep deoxyribonucleic acid stable. Their function in diabetes mellitus and reproductive disorders, not only in […]

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the value of Scintimetric Characterization of tracer activity uptake in Rheumatoid arthritis-affected joints in bone scans. Materials and Methods: Bone scans for bone and joint pains revealed the existence of skeletal hot spots in three out of five patients with reported Rheumatoid arthritis. By repeating the 24 […]
