  Current Investigations in Clinical and Medical Research - (CICMR)| Stephy Publishers Abstract Objective: To study the importance of immunological screening (CH50, C3, C4) to determine the correlation between the ovarian reserve and complement pathway.   Design: A cross-sectional multivariate study.   Setting: Single tertiary referral center. Patients: 40 Women with infertility diagnosis who underwent In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Intervention(s): Basal blood samples collected to measure complement pathway and antimüllerian hormone. Main Outcome Measure(s): To correlate complement pathways (CH50 levels) with AMH. Results: The complement system and ovarian reserve were studied in 40 women aged from 28-48 years (mean=37.87 years), finding the values of CH50 65-268 CAE (mean=153.2 CAE), C3 13.9- 183mg/dl (mean=128.52mg/dl), C4 11.5-106mg/dl (mean=29.86mg/dl), AMH 0.10-3.9ng/dl (mean=1.32ng/dl). A multivariate analysis comparison was also conducted yielding significan...

  Global Scientific Research in Environmental Science  - (GSRES) |  Stephy Publishers ISSN 2768 6124 Abstract This study was conducted to examine the role of transport system in rural development in Ehime Mbano L.G.A of Imo State. It has been observed that untarred/seasonal roads and foot track dominates in the study area. Lack of good roads in the study area has great negative impacts on the socio-economic activities of the rural communities. The observations of the area show that transport system has been faced with numerous problems due to poor road maintenance and bad road, lack of fund to construct good roads and poor road network. A total of 500 questionnaires were administered to the respondents in the selected areas of Ehime Mbano L.G. A of Imo State. The hypothesis formulated was tested using Chi-Square techniques. The result implies that the provision of transport services in rural areas is to a large extent satisfactory. Also, the result of the findings indicat...

  Global Scientific Research in Environmental Science  - (GSRES) |  Stephy Publishers ISSN 2768 6124 Abstract Climate change is unequivocal and nothing hides itself from its negative repercussions. Countries in sub-Saharan Africa will continue to be impacted due to their low adaptive capacities and geographic position. Unfavourable weather trends coupled with climatic variations will have adverse effect on agricultural sector which is the main source of livelihood to rural households on the continent. This literature review article assessed the impacts of climate change on agriculture and food security in Africa. The lives of several in Africa cling on agriculture as it supports majority of the population. However, since over 90 percent of agriculture system in the region depends on rainfall, livelihoods of the citizens on the continent have been hit hard due to rising temperature, erratic rainfall and extreme weather conditions. Keywords: Adaptive capacity, Diversificati...

  Journal of Psychological Science and Research - (JPSSR)  |  Stephy Publishers Abstract  Neuroscience findings suggest brain immaturity and the proliferation of neurons in the frontal cortex at puberty may be significant factors affecting adolescent behaviors. The author considers these findings essential to bolster the analyst’s position to not act, in light of the impulses treating such cases can arouse. Clinical examples illustrate.  Keywords: Neuroscience of adolescence, Brain development, Separation, Clinicians, Adolescent therapy Introduction Adolescence is a developmental period of turbulence. As teenagers are unconsciously attempting to separate from their families they frequently engage in oppositional and even bizarre behaviors. Neither the child, nor, the families understand the behaviors, and, both become regressed within a matrix of discord. Often, the situation deteriorates until the family seeks professional help. Throughout my years of clini...

  Advancements in Teleradiology and Radiotherapy  - (ATR)|  Stephy Publishers Abstract Renal anomalies may be seen and detected in all age groups, as an insidentally finding. We report the FDG PET/CT and 68 Ga PSMA findings in cancer patients with renal anomalies and situs inversus totalis in three patients. Keywords Renal anomalies, PET/CT, FDG, 68Ga-PSMA Introduction Metabolic characterization and primary lesion. Following a 4 hour fasting, while the patient had a blood glucose level of 152 mg/dL, 303 MBq (8.2 mCi) 18F-FDG was given i.v. after 60 min, images were taken from the calvarium to the soles of the feet in 3D mode to be 1 min per bed. PET-CT imaging demonstrated a subcarinal 1 cm lymphadenopaty (SUVmax: 10.42) and paraosephageal metastatic lympadenopaty (12x22 mm/ SUVmax: 20.68) at mediastinal region. In addition, an 32x26 mm mass compatible with primary malignancy (SUVmax: 20.14) was detected anteromedial section of gallbladder. An approximately 8x9 cm hyperme...

  Modern Research in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - (MRPRS)| Stephy Publishers Postoperative dropping of the nasal tip after rhinoplasty is a known complication.1 Defining the position of the nasal tip begins with stabilizing the nasal base.2 To define the position of the nasal tip and stabilize the nasal base of the nose, the surgeon has three main options: tongue-in-groove maneuver,3 caudal septal extension graft, or columellar strut.4,5   Significant loss of rotation is expected during the first year and surgeons need to over-correct tip rotation to compensate for this loss. In a recent study, Antunes and Quatela6 identified patients who were submitted to a rhinoplasty with a tong-in-groove maneuver over a period of 1 year, and demonstrated an average reduction in the nasolabial angle of 6.8%, estimating that for each degree of rotation changed at surgery, the patient will have a loss of 0.35 degrees over the first year.   Despite the routine use of techn...

  SOJ Pediatrics and Clinical Neonatology - (SOJPCN)| Stephy Publishers Abstract Recent literature data has shown that acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common occurrence in critically ill children and that it is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality, even after adjusting for other risk factors. In addition, it can result in long-term sequelae translated by the development of arterial hypertension, microalbuminuria and chronic renal dysfunction. High degree of suspicion, early diagnosis based on the recognition of patients at risk and the use of new criteria for the diagnosis and classification of AKI and, whenever possible, using the new biomarkers can positively alter the prognosis of these patients. Although there is still no specific treatment for AKI, it is recommended to focus on the immediate institution of preventive measures in order to maintain renal hemodynamics, early treatment of septic patients, elimination of exogenous nephrotoxins, recognition and man...
