Design and Management of Renewable Energy Systems for Isolated Communities with No Grid Connection

Received: 10 October 2024;  Published: 07 March 2025;  doi: 10.21926/jept.2501005

Abstract

The growing demand for energy and the need to reduce dependence on non-renewable sources have driven the research and application of sustainable technologies. In this context, an integrated solution that combines distributed energy generation from renewable sources, such as wind and hydro, with efficient management of household energy consumption is proposed. This study focuses on the hybrid renewable energy system simulation analysis designed to meet the demand of an off-grid household in a self-consumption mode. [...]

Location, Season and Source Effects on Gross Composition of Raw Cow’s Milk Across Khartoum State, Sudan

Received: 06 April 2024;  Published: 27 April 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpn.2502009

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of sources. locations and seasons (late summer and winter) on the chemical composition of cow milk collected from Khartoum State. The samples were collected randomly in the morning or the evening. Two hundred and seventy milk samples were collected from farms (90 samples), groceries (90 samples) and vendors (90 samples) in Khartoum State during the late summer and winter seasons, 135 samples each. The milk samples were kept in cool cracked ice and transported immed [...]

Acute Liver Failure Due to Assumed Drug Induced Liver Injury but Lack of Any Validated Causality Algorithm: Evidence by 36 Cohort Reports with 21,709 Cases

Received: 08 January 2025;  Published: 14 February 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2501234

Abstract

Liver transplantation (LT) can be the only option for patients with acute liver failure (ALF) where medical approaches are ineffective. Causes of ALF are multiple and commonly easily detectable, but uncertainty remained on the role of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) within the published ALF cohorts. Therefore, an analysis was undertaken to clarify which drugs may have caused the DILI and how the diagnosis of the liver injury was established. Using the PubMed database and Google Science, the search term of acute li [...]

Potential CRISPR-Cas9-based Antiviral Activity Against Hepatitis C Virus in Liver Cancer

Received: 04 July 2024;  Published: 28 February 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.genet.2501287

Abstract

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a primary global health concern, and though therapeutic options have improved, no very effective vaccine is available despite decades of research. The health and vitality of the organism are related to the result of homeostatic regulation of the internal environment. In contrast, it follows that disruption of homeostatic mechanisms leads to disease, particularly in liver cancer. Since HCV can rapidly mutate to evade the immune response, an effective HCV vaccine must rely on the identifica [...]

Improving Outcomes in Elderly Patients with Ovarian and Pancreatic Cancer through Multimodal Prehabilitation

Received: 19 August 2024;  Published: 19 March 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.geriatr.2501304

Abstract

Elderly patients with ovarian and pancreatic cancer frequently experience malnutrition and sarcopenia, which negatively impact treatment tolerance, functional outcomes, and survival. The increasing use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in this population necessitates structured interventions to mitigate these challenges. While prehabilitation has shown promise in enhancing treatment tolerance and quality of life, its role during chemotherapy remains underexplored. This prospective study evaluates the feasibility and impa [...]

The Impact of Microbiota on Neurological Disorders: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications

Received: 06 November 2024;  Published: 28 February 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.neurobiol.2501273

Abstract

Interactions in the gut-brain crosstalk have led to the development of an entirely new concept: the "microbiota-gut-brain axis". Microbiota has gained considerable attention in relation to disorders of a more neurological nature, such as neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric illnesses like autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, and mood disorders. This review aims to summarize the recent trends and insights into the role and consequences of gut microbiota in brain health and pediatric neurological disorders. Dysbiosi [...]
