A tracer clearance experiment using a mobile air conditioner e.g. from KRONE Kälte + Klima VertriebsmbH Germany is supposed to determine to what extent. In Szabadi [1]. the air exchange rate [n] = 1/h is introduced as a measure of air exchange. The exhaust volume flow [dV/dt] ⩒ = m3/h is related to room volume [V] = m3. The air exchange rate n is a multiple of the room volume. Reference values are n = 3/h <= n <= 6/h. The air conditioner in (Figure 1) comprises an air recirculation (5) and an active air exchange (6). The recirculation may also filter and cool the air. Here, the air filter rate [f] = 1/h serves as a measure. Both measures must be considered according to [1].","PeriodicalId":355321,"journal":{"name":"Current Trends in Clinical & Medical Sciences","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126098415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mind (composed of the personal and collective unconscious, and the sense-experience of the emerging ego held together by the brain’s electromagnetic field generated by the periodic discharge of neurons), in turn, is manifested in simultaneous, entangled, superimposed, and interconnecting material resource frameworks, multiple worlds, as praxis or practical consciousness of organic life, the content of which in-turn becomes the phenomenal properties, qualia, of material (subatomic particle energy, psychion) consciousness that is recycled/replicated/entangled/superimposed via the consciousness field throughout the multiverses upon matter disaggregation. In other words, existence precedes essence; but essence is emergent and eternal, and comes to constitute a fifth force of nature, a field of consciousness for Being production (the consciousness field), through the phenomenal properties, qualia (personal and collective unconscious), of neuronal subatomic particles, psychion, which are recycled/replicated/superimposed/ entangled throughout the multiverse and give human actors their initial (essential) practical consciousness that they organize and reproduce in replicated, entangled, and superimposed material resource frameworks.

Due to large number of clinical trials, the mini review will only focus on Abstract The field of gene therapy is growing at a rapid pace. The discovery and modification of adeno-associated viruses (AAV) as gene therapy vectors has allowed for the development of novel treatments for neurological and neuromuscular disorders. AAV based gene therapy techniques can be utilized to add, replace, or modify genes and their expression in patients, thus providing a potential beneficial therapeutic effect. In many cases, gene therapy has the promising power to change the natural course of debilitating and fatal diseases and give patients a new outcome on life. This mini review will give a brief overview of the AAV gene therapy field, highlighting FDA approved gene therapies and selected current in-clinic AAV-mediated therapeutics for neurological and neuromuscular diseases for which interim data are available. These therapies and the ongoing clinical trials are currently laying the groundwork for future gene therapy strategies and clinical trial design. Ultimately, they will inform the field on promises and limitations that still need to be overcome.","PeriodicalId":355321,"journal":{"name":"Current Trends in Clinical & Medical Sciences","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133732999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is to determine the satisfaction and knowledge of elderly patients in Bahrain towards their multiple medications usage and to discover the prevalence of inappropriate polypharmacy among elderly patients in Bahrain. In a cross-sectional study, 100 participants age more than 55 years were interviewed to determine the prevalence of polypharmacy. The participants were randomly selected and asked to answer a questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of questions regarding drugs taken, pattern of using each drug and patients’ personal, social and medical history in addition to their satisfaction with their treatment regimen. The data collected were analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Participants were found to consume an average of 8.14 ± 1.22 of drugs and the average number of tablets / capsules were 9.88 ± 1.21. The most commonly used drugs were aspirin, atorvastatin, metformin, and beta-blockers. Those were prescribed by physicians in 82 % of cases. Participants using herbal products / nutritional supplements were found to be 34%. The desire of participants to reduce the number of their medications was found to be high (83%) as many believed that at least one of them is causing side effects. Polypharmacy is common among elderly population in Bahrain and is affected by age, education level and medical factors. Different measures need to be implemented to minimize this problem to ensure better health for the elderly population.","PeriodicalId":355321,"journal":{"name":"Current Trends in Clinical & Medical Sciences","volume":"588 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113982488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
