Abstract

Damage to liver function is the most common cause of patients or doctors stopping treatment. Anti tuberculosis (OAT) drug-induced hepatotoxicity is mainly caused by oxidative stress caused by drugs and metabolites. Subchronic toxicity is one of the conditions for testing long-term used drugs such as OAT. The research aims to determine the potential of miana leaf extract (EDM) as a hepatoprotector and prevent toxicity due to OAT administration. The study used 5 groups of Wistar rat test animals namely K1 (normal mice given placebo); K2 (OAT-induced mice given placebo); K3 (OAT-induced mice given Makassar EDM); K4 (OAT-induced mice given EDM Kupang); K5 (OAT-induced mice given Silymarin). Tests on mice were carried out after 30 days of treatment with parameters SGOT, SGPT, total bilirubin, creatinine and liver histopathology. The results showed that EDM has the potential as a hepatoprotector by preventing an increase in SGOT, SGPT and total bilirubin so as to avoid liver damage due to OAT induction. EDM has the potential to prevent toxicity due to the administration of OAT with creatinine parameters.

Abstract

Background: Elastography in breast cancer cases has not become a routine examination that is conducted in the radiodiagnostic unit in Dr. Soetomo Teaching Hospital Surabaya. These last few years, elastography has been an addition examination modality which is promising to assess breast lesions that are detected byan ultrasound. Objective: The aim of the present study is to observe the performance of elastography in breast tumor cases. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Dr. Soetomo Teaching Hospital Surabaya. The elastography is applied in 65 females (the average age is 49,1 years old) and it was found 66 lesions with a definitive diagnosis (34 benign tumors, 32 malignant tumors) which was proved through a fine-needle aspiration biopsy. The grayscale result is classified into benign and malignant categorizations with examining five descriptors including shape, margin, orientation, echo pattern, and posterior features. Results: The elastography score showed that the sensitivity is 87,5 %, the specificity is 94,1 %, and the accuracy is 90,9 % The stain ratio showed 93,8 %, 94,1 %, 90,9 % in sequence. On the other hand, the grayscale result showed 96,9 %, 91,2 %, and 95,5 %. The combination of elastography and grayscale showed a better performancewith the 97,1% of sensitivity, 94,1 % of specificity, and 93,8 % of accuracy. There was a significant correlation between the lesion size and the quality of elastography result (P = .034) while there was no correlation with the lesion depth (P = .624). Conslusion: The combination of elastography and grayscale have a better diagnostic performance in distinguishing benign breast tumor with malignant breast tumor.

Abstract

In veterinary practice, at present, specialists often have to deal with pathology of the prostate gland in dogs. The reason for this is that the pathological process in the tissues of the prostate gland can occur asymptomatic and for a long period of time, subsequently leading to organ hypertrophy. An increase in the volume of the prostate gland most often has a benign character, which is generally accepted to be diagnosed as prostatic hyperplasia. The disease is often detected at a late stage, which complicates the treatment and worsens the prognosis. Hyperplasia, as a medical condition, is an indicative term used to describe the abnormal increase in the number of cells in any organ, in this case the prostate gland. This article describes the main symptoms, diagnostic methods and differential diagnosis proceeding from practical veterinary experience.

Abstract

Background: Prenatal substance use is a public health problem deserving the highest priority of attention because it poses devastating risks of maternal and fetal consequences. Situational analysis of current substance use in pregnancy and its risk factors is essential for effective preventive strategies for maternal and child health. This study explored the prevalence of risky substance use (caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco) along with associated factors patterning among pregnant women in the middle zone of Northeastern Thailand. Method: This cross--sectional study was conducted in 58 district hospitals located in the middle zone of northeastern Thailand. The participants were 944 pregnant women attending antenatal clinics chosen based on consecutive sampling. Data collection used a questionnaire, and data analysis used multiple logistic regression. Result: More than two-thirds of the pregnant women (70.1%) reported current substance use, including caffeine (61.6%), alcohol (20.7%), and tobacco (3.3%). Risk factors such as family caffeine use (AOR=2.83, 95%CI: 2.02-3.97) and couple relationship (AOR=1.58, 95%CI: 1.07-2.33) were found to be associated with caffeine in use risk, while marital status (AOR=2.53, 95%CI: 1.11-5.77), couple relationship (AOR=2.27, 95%CI: 1.05-4.91), and family alcohol use (AOR=3.54, 95%CI: 1.49-8.42) were those associated with alcohol in use risk. It was notable that while family tobacco use (AOR=3.85, 95%CI: 1.05-14.06) was associated with tobacco in use risk, age was found to be its protective factor (AOR=0.31, 95%CI: 0.10-0.95) among those in the tobacco use risk group. Conclusion: Currently there is strong evidence about the risky substance use during pregnancy. Modification solutions for suitable consumption behavior should targeted pregnant women with family substance use, poor couple relationships, single status and more than 20 years, old.
