Abstract

Background: Sinogram Affirmed Iterative Reconstruction (SAFIRE) is an Iterative Reconstruction algorithm that combines IR techniques that utilize raw data and image data iterations as parameters that underlie noise regularization in images in the reconstruction process to improve image quality. Purpose: Analyze the effect of variations in SAFIRE strength values on image contrast and pathological evaluation of CT scan brain with clinical Stroke Non-Hemorrhage (SNH). Method: This research is a quantitative analytic study with an experimental approach to analyze the effect of SAFIRE strength values on image contrast and pathological assessment on CT scan brain examination. Result: Statistical test results showed a significant difference (p-value < 0.05) in all variations of SAFIRE strength, with the resulting Contrast-to-Noise Ratio (CNR) value increasing as the SAFIRE strength value used increased. The average CNR improvement was 18.4% on all SAFIRE strength values compared. This increase is affected by a linear decrease of the noise value from one SAFIRE strength value to another. Image contrast improvement also affects the pathological assessment of SNH due to the increased density differences in the hypodense lesion compared to the surrounding tissues. Conclusion: The use of the SAFIRE strength variation significantly affects image contrast values and pathological assessment in the SNH brain MSCT examination.

Abstract

Background: Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in radiology is named automatic image interpretation of neuroimaging stroke. It takes a short time to minimize the patient's brain damage. Purpose: Determine the role of AI in ischemic brain stroke MRI examination and find out the advantages and disadvantages of applying AI to ischemic brain stroke MRI examination. Review: It was a descriptive and qualitative study with a literature review approach. The selection of articles used the ScienceDirect, Scopus, ProQuest, PubMed, and Publish or Perish databases. The inclusion criteria included full articles, with the topic of AI on ischemic brain stroke MRI examinations published in the 2017 – 2022 range, articles published by English-language international journals with a classification of Q1 – Q3, and having DOI. Seven relevant pieces of article were obtained, then descriptive analysis was carried out by comparing and presenting the articles descriptively in tabular form. Result: The role of AI in MRI brain examination with clinical ischemic stroke, namely its role in automatic lesion segmentation, Time Since Stroke (TSS) classification, and infarct volume prediction. The advantages of AI included short image processing times and accurate results. The disadvantages of AI tended to decrease performance in small lesions, a large number of patients, limited data, and false positive results. The value of the Dice Score Coefficient (DSC) (0.53 – 0.86) was already high even though it had not reached 1 because it depended on the strength of the data used. Conclusion: The role of AI in MRI imaging of ischemic brain stroke helps in the diagnosis and prognosis of ischemic stroke patients. AI in stroke neuroimaging has advantages in time effectiveness and disadvantages in data limitations.

Abstract

Background: The complete treatment of chronic wounds remains a significant unmet medical need. To expedite the healing of chronic wounds, numerous studies have begun to utilize gels, including hydrogels or sol-gels, which incorporate a combination of antioxidant properties. Curcuma xanthorrhiza is known to contain polyphenolic compounds, which include flavonoids acting as an antioxidant. Purpose: Examine the potential of C. xanthorrhiza extract (CXE) gel as a candidate for wound-healing by measuring its antioxidant activity. Method: Three CXE gel formulas were prepared from different concentrations of CMC-Na (3, 4, and 5%). Each formula consisted of 5% CXE, 15% propylene Glycol, 10% Glycerin, 0.25% Methylparaben, and distilled water. The quality of the CXE gel was tested through homogeneity, spreadability, pH, and viscosity tests. The antioxidant activity was measured by 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS)-reducing activity assay in a gel formula that was close the standards. The measurement results were then used in the calculation of antioxidant activity to determine the IC50 value. Result: Formulas 1, 2, and 3 meet the requirements by yielding a homogeneous gel with a spreadability of 5.37 – 5.93 cm, a pH level of 5.87 – 6.10, and a viscosity of 8.800 – 9296.67 cps. The highest DPPH and ABTS percentages were 34.04% and 5.28%, respectively. The IC50 values of CXE gel in DPPH and ABTS were 1973.38 μg/mL and 700.65 μg/mL, respectively. Conclusion: The CXE 1, 2, and 3 gel formula meets the requirements and has the potential to be used as a wound healing therapy through its antioxidant properties.

Abstract

Background: Enterococcus is routinely considered a low-grade pathogen. The synergistic action of Enterococci with other bacteria increases the risk of infection. Enterococci are currently the next most common cause of healthcare-associated infections after E. coli. Greater understanding is needed regarding Enterococcus stress survival, virulence, and resistance patterns to assess the complexity of disease-causing Enterococcus. Purpose: Analyze the prevalence of Enterococcus and assess the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of Enterococcus. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was designed and carried out in the Department of Microbiology at Bangladesh University of Health Sciences, Dhaka, over a period of 3 months. Bacterial culture and sensitivity were the methods employed for microbiological examination. Result: A total of 558 bacterial strains were isolated, among which the growth of Enterococcus spp. was 27 (4.83%). The prevalence of Enterococcus spp. among different samples was 4.83%. The number of highly sensitive strains ranged from 66.66% to 77.77% for antibiotics, namely gentamycin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, and meropenem. Moderately high sensitivity to levofloxacin (29.62%) and low sensitivity to doxycycline (14.81%) were also analyzed. Conclusion: The study recommends that antibiotics should be used after proper laboratory procedures are undertake, and it should be selected based on antimicrobial susceptibility tests.
