Wind Turbines for Decarbonization and Energy Transition of Buildings and Urban Areas: A Review

Received: 14 August 2024;  Published: 26 February 2025;  doi: 10.21926/aeer.2501013

Abstract

The recent tendencies of drastic variations of environmental conditions, inundations, severe winds, and gusts besides heavy and unexpected long-duration rains showed the world an image of what could happen if emissions and global warming are not adequately controlled. Implementing new energy solutions as fast as possible is essential to cope with climate change, one of the biggest threats to our survival. These alarming signs intensified research and development efforts to replace fossil-based activities with renew [...]

Integrating Telemonitoring in COPD Exacerbations Care: A Multinational Study Using the Alsayed System for Applied Medical-Care Improvement (ASAMI) Database

Received: 26 August 2024;  Published: 25 February 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2501237

Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the ability of telemonitoring involving a secure electronic database called “Alsayed System for Applied Medical-Care Improvement” (ASAMI) to detect at least 95% of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). This prospective observational study, which took place over 16 months in 2022-2023, was based at a medical center in Jordan. The study group participants were patients with COPD (from seven countries) with mixed levels of airflow limitation sever [...]

Digital Technology and Brain Development among Entrepreneurial Ambitions

Received: 20 October 2024;  Published: 25 February 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.neurobiol.2501271

Abstract

Brain development (BD) is an important factor. To effectively enhance BD, institutions employ digital tools, technology, and innovative digital competencies to improve students’ entrepreneurial ambitions. The present paper examines the role of digital technology in developing BD among entrepreneurial ambitions in Egypt. The study modes are quantitative and cross-sectional to collect data from the entrepreneurial aspirations of Egyptian universities where business, management, economics, and commerce students [...]

Introduction to COVID-19 Vaccines and Kidney Transplant Recipient

Received: 03 August 2024;  Published: 24 February 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2501236

Abstract

COVID-19 has presented considerable health hazards, particularly for immunocompromised persons, such as kidney transplant recipients. This population experiences increased susceptibility due to the immunosuppressive treatments necessary to avert organ rejection, potentially resulting in a diminished immune response to immunizations. The implementation of COVID-19 vaccinations has been essential in alleviating these dangers. Studies demonstrate differing levels of vaccine efficacy among kidney transplant recipients, [...]

Diabetes and Sarcopenia: Intersection of Co Morbid Conditions

Received: 09 July 2024;  Published: 20 February 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.geriatr.2501299

Abstract

Sarcopenia is more common in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) than in persons without diabetes. There is overlap of some pathophysiologic features of sarcopenia and T2DM. In addition, the risk for sarcopenia is associated with common complications of T2DM including renal disease, cardiovascular disease and neuropathy. Glycemic control in T2DM may have some benefits on sarcopenia. The specific effects of glucose lowering agents on sarcopenia suggest that metformin, insulin, thiazolidinediones and GLP1 re [...]

Maribavir for Management of Cytomegalovirus in Lung Transplant Recipients: A Case Series and Literature Review

Received: 15 November 2024;  Published: 20 February 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2501235

Abstract

Lung transplant recipients represent a high-risk group for cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease, even among solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, due to multiple factors. Additionally, CMV has significant consequences in this group including pneumonitis, acute rejection, and chronic lung allograft dysfunction. For the past two plus decades, treatment of CMV in SOT recipients has been limited to off-label use of 4 antiviral medications associated with significant toxicities including myelosuppression and n [...]

Physical Education: Equity of Learning and Social Inclusion for Blind Students

Received: 15 July 2024;  Published: 19 February 2025;  doi: 10.21926/aeer.2501012

Abstract

Equity in the educational system is crucial to addressing the needs of all students without distinction, from their initial access to education through to graduation. Achieving equity requires implementing reasonable adjustments to ensure that all students can attend classes, actively participate, and learn effectively. Equity entails transforming inequality into inclusion, enhancing students' well-being and quality of life. Education for all prioritizes equity and quality as fundamental principles of the education [...]

Graphene Quantum Dots from Synthesis to Innovation for Advanced Optics and Bio-Optics Trends

Received: 24 November 2024;  Published: 18 February 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpm.2501007

Abstract

The generation of non-classical light with improved performances within tiny sizes, intervals of lengths, and diameters is still a challenge. The generation of variable wavelengths associated with different frequencies of energy modes produced from new sources of emitters within confined scales from the Quantum to Nano-and Micro-scales are of high impact. It is noted here that the concept of the generation of non-classical light related to electronics and photonics interactions with different topological matter con [...]

Anticipatory Care Plan for End-Stage Chronic Kidney Patients – Case Report

Received: 29 October 2024;  Published: 18 February 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.geriatr.2501298

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease is characterized by progressive, persistent, and irreversible loss of kidney function, with a high prevalence and increasing trend in the population. An important observation, common to all recent studies, is the constant changes experienced by these individuals. Analytical changes, health status and the patient's preferences should be considered when planning anticipatory care at any phase of the disease. To comprehend the significance of the Anticipatory Care Plan for Patients with End-Stag [...]
