Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound therapy compared with local steroid injection for pain relief and movement limitation in rotator cuff tendinitis.Methods: Patients with rotator cuff tendinitis at the rheumatology and rehabilitation outpatient clinic at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital were enrolled in a parallel randomized trial, in which each eligible patient were randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group received 10 sessions of ultrasound therapy given in 2 weeks, the other received a single dose of local steroid injection. Evaluation of the visual analog scale(VAS) was performed in 10 days (5 days for each week: day 1–5 and 8–12), while evaluation of the abduction as well as external and internal rotation range of motion(ROM) was performed twice a week (day 2, 5, 9, and 12). Change in the variables between the two groups at the end of the second week (day 12) was then compared. Results: Thirty patients, divided into two groups consisting of 15 patients each, were recruited in the study. Significant decrease in VAS during the followups was obtained in both groups, slightly earlier in the steroid injection group (day 2; p = 0.041) comparedwith the ultrasound group (day 3; p = 0.001). Significant increase in abduction ROM was achieved at the same rate (beginning at day 5) in both groups. Significant increase in internal rotation ROM was achieved at day 9 in the ultrasound group (p = 0.043) and day 12 in steroid injection group (p = 0.044). The increase in external rotation ROM in both groups was not found to be statistically signifi cant. At the end of the second week, signifi cant difference between the two groups was only shown in the abduction ROM, with higherincrease in the steroid group.Conclusions: Ultrasound therapy provided a comparable effectiveness to steroid injection inalleviating pain and improving ROM in patients with rotator cuff tendinitis.

Abstract

Cocoa is one of plantation commodities that is quite important for the national economy. Land management for the development of this plant should pay attention to the characteristics of the soil. Three soil profiles formed from alluvium parent material  in East Kolaka Regency were investigated to determine the mineralogical, physical, and chemical soil properties, as well as the potential of the land for the development of cocoa plant. The results showed that the mineral composition of the sand fraction was dominated by quartz, while the clay mineral fraction was composed of kaolinite, hydrate halloysite, interstratified of illite-vermiculite and smectite. The soils were characterized by poor drainage, low bulk density (0.78 to 0.95 g / cm3), moderate available water pores (10-15%), slow to fast permeability (0.10 to 14.05 cm / h), silty clay loam to silty clay texture of top soil, acidic soil reaction (pH 4.62 to 5.47), high organic C content (3.86 to 4.60%) in the top soil and very low organic C content (<0.65%) in the lower layer, moderate to high available P (14-38 mg / kg) in the A horizon and very low to moderate (1-18 mg / kg) in horizon B, moderate to high P2O5 (30-71 mg / 100g) in horizon A and extremely low (1-11 mg / 100g) in horizon B, very low to moderate K2O (3-28 mg / 100g ), moderate to high exchangeable Ca (9.32 to 13.92 cmolc / kg) in the upper and lower (0.70 to 5.04 cmolc / kg) in the bottom layer, high exchangeable Mg content (2.83 to 8.95 cmolc / kg), high soil CEC (34.18 to 38.28 cmolc / kg) in the upper layer and low to moderate (7.87 to 20.39 cmolc / kg) in the bottom layer, moderate to high base saturation (44-68%), and very low to moderate Al saturation (0-17%). At the family level, the soil was classified as Fluvaquentic Endoaquepts (EK 1 profile) and Typic Endoaquepts (EK 2 and EK 3 profiles), finely loamy, mix, acid, isohypertermik. The land was marginally suitable (S3) for cocoa plant with the contraints of impeded drainage, acid soil reaction, and low K2O. Drainage channel management can be done to increase the carrying capacity of the land for the development of cocoa plant.

Abstract

The measurement of pH is very important in the medical, industrial and research worlds and each requires measuring instruments with different sensitivities.Measuring the pH of a solution in principle measures hydrogen ions in a solution.In this research, a pH sensor was designed and fabricated using multimode fiber optic macrobending with the fiber optic cladding being peeled off and replaced with a PAni-PVA (polyaniline-polyvinyl alcohol) composite layer.The bending diameter of plastic fiber optics is varied with sizes d = 2.5 cm, d = 2 cm, and d = 1.5 cm.The test results show that the pH sensor created is capable of measuring the pH of the solution linearly in the range pH = 2 to 10 <w:LsdException Locked="false" Pri
