Abstract

Objective: Analyzing the association between pure tone audiometry and distortion of otoacoustic emission(DPOAE) in students after shooting practice.Methods: This study was conducted at the East Java State Police Academy, Mojokerto, Indonesia, fromAugust 2018 to January 2019. Participants were examined for pure tone audiometry and DPOAE two weeksafter shooting training. Participants previously had undergone shooting training for 5 months, with scheduleof 4 times per week. The statistical test used an independent t test or Mann Whitney test with p < 0.05.Results: All participants were men, with an average pure tone audiometry value of 27.50 ± 10.43 dB. Theresults of pure tone audiometry examination found that most participants had normal hearing (58.00%). Thisfinding was inversely proportional to the results of DPOAE examination, in which most participants had“Refer” (78.00%). The mean pure tone audiometry value on participants with DPOAE “Refer” was 20.36 ±3.47 dB and DPOAE “Pass” was 29.51 ± 10.87 dB (p = 0.008). Most participants had “Refer” DPOAE withnormal pure tone audiometry as much as 36.00%, followed by participants with “Refer” DPOAE but mildhearing loss of pure tone audiometry as much as 24.00% (p = 0.002).Conclusion: There is a significant association between pure tone audiometry with DPOAE. Many participantshave normal audiometry but “Refer” DPOAE, and followed by participants experiencing mild hearing losswith “Refer” DPOAE.

Abstract

Oral dosage forms are considered as the most preferred dosage forms to various age groups of patients.However, conventional solid dosage forms (tablets and capsules) have been associated with some issues;such fluctuation in the plasma drug concentration and swallowing difficulty for some patients. This advocatesthe need for the continuous development and improvement of tablets and capsule to enhance therapeuticefficacy and increase patient acceptance. Mini tablets technology has been developed to minimize theseproblems. It aims to facilitate oral administration with minimal swallowing difficulty (especially inpediatrics and geriatrics) and deliver a therapeutic agent, selectively and effectively, to be targeted in acertain position in the body. The most benefit of this technique is the ease of production with facilitatedcontrol of stability problems. The size and shape uniformity, with smooth surface area, make minitabletsattractive to be incorporated with different medications for the efficient treatment of chronic diseases. Thisoverview outlines properties, production requirements, formulation options and evaluation methods of minitablets.

Abstract

Background : Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-?), together with other pro-inflammatory cytokines suchas Interleukin-1b (IL-1b), IL- 6 and IL-8, play a role in the ischemic injury of the central nervous system.TNF-? has adverse effects on ischemic brain tissue. The mechanism generated is a multicomplex process. Inother studies, an increase in TNF-? can actually have neuroprotective effects. This study aims to determinethe relation between the levels of the High Sensitivity TNF-? with clinical outcome in acute ischemic stroke.Method : Thirty patients with acute ischemic stroke patients who admitted in Dr. Soetomo hospital Surabayaduring the period December 2011 to February 2012. 2 cc of vein blood for examination High sensitivityTNF-? was drawn during admission from acute ischemic stroke. Clinical outcome in acute stroke wasmeasured by NIHSS score.Results: From 30 research samples, the mean age of patients was 59.53 ± 11.51 years. The mean HighSensitivity TNF-? level in the study subjects was 2 ± 0.99 pg / ml. NIHSS examination showed the medianvalue of the NIHSS was 5 with a range of 2-19. There is a correlation but not statistically significant withthe strength is very weak between High Sensitivity TNF-? with the NIHSS in patients with acute thromboticstroke (r = 0.100 and p = 0.600).Conclusion: There is relationship between serum levels of High sensitivity TNF-? with clinical outcome inacute ischemic stroke patients.

Abstract

Background: Overactive bladder syndrome is a urinary disorder that occurs more frequently in women andolder people and is characterized by feeling an urge to urinate (sudden urge to urinate, with the feeling thatyou cannot get to the bathroom in time), doing it many times throughout the day (more than six) or havingepisodes of urinary incontinence (involuntary loss of urine) and nocturia (waking up several times duringthe night to urinate). In addition, other secondary symptoms may also occur, such as headache, dry mouth orblurred vision, among others. It is a problem that has a clear impact on the quality of life of those who sufferit and that can lead them to significantly reduce their social activity and negatively condition their work.Overactive bladder (OAB) is defined as urinary urgency with or without urgency urinary incontinence,nocturia, and/or frequency in the absence of UTI or other obvious pathology. Sacral neuromodulation is anewer surgical therapy for refractory OAB.Aim of Study: Is to assess the sacral neuromodulation (SN) safety and efficacy in refractory overactivebladder patients.Patients and Methods: In the period from November 2015 to May 2017. the unit of neurogenic bladderand neuromodulation in (Gazi Al_Harriry) surgical specialty hospital, medical city complex 27 patient agedfrom (17—55) year old were complaining from refractory overactive bladder. All the 27 patients underwentstage1 & stage2 SNS devices implantation.Results: Patients of urgency incontinence (group1) demonstrated that the number of leak was significantlyreduced (p=0.01) after implantation of SN, (11.6_2.7) leak/day pre& post SN, numbers of pads (6.9 _ 0.8)pad/day pre&post SN. Patients with urgency frequency (group 2), numbers of voids/day pre & post SNimplantation decreased significantly (p=0.01) (14.7 _ 6) voids /day. The voided volume increased significantly(p=0.02) from (136.4 _ 371.8) ml/void. The urgency episodes were decreased significantly (p=0.01) from(6.4 _ 2.1) episode/day. The complications occurred in 5 patients (18.5%). Two patients (7.4%) developedpain after trauma to the back, lead migration, lack of efficacy of device, treated by reprogramming thedevice, one patient (3.7%) get infection at the site of device implantation, SN was removed , there was onefemale patient (3.7%) got pregnancy and devise was deactivated. One patient (3.7%) complaining from painand discomfort at the device site was treated conservatively.Conclusion: Sacral neuromodulation is FDA approved as option for treatment of refractory OAB. There isexpanding of utilizing of SN in the past two decades. According to multiple studies in addition to our studyresults. The sacral neuromodulation is safe and efficacious treatment option for refractory OAB.

Abstract

The unprejudiced of this education is to gauge the ability of the retinoic acid to induce apoptotic cell deathin hematological tumors through caspase dependent or independent apoptotic pathway, The cytotoxicityeffects of retinoic acid of different concentrations (400,350,300,250,200,150,100,50,25,12.5 µg\ml) andexposure for all hematological malignancy cell lines (Human non-Hodgkin lymphoma SR and humanmultiple myeloma (COLO 677) and Human Monocytic Leukemia THP1 and Acute promyelocytic leukemiaNB4) have been determined using a microtetrazolium (MTT) assay. Propodeum iodide and alcidine orange(AO/PI) paired discoloration was used to study the ability of retinoic acid to induce apoptosis in the infectedcells and examined under fluorescence microscope and quantified for the percentage of apoptosis induction.Quantitative immunocytochemistry assay was used to study the caspase dependent and independentproteins expression in infected and control cells. Cells treated with Retinoic Acid showed increased celldeath percentage compared to the untreated cells as quantified by MTT assay. AO/PI results revealed thatRetinoic Acid had powerful effect on inducing apoptosis significantly (p<0.001) in human cancer cell linestested, compared to control cell. Immunocytochemistry in Retinoic Acid infected human hematological celllines revealed remarkable increase in expression of caspase 8,9 (dependent pathway) and AIF, ENDOG(independent pathway) induces a significant (p<0.002) as compared untreated cell.This study, which shows the role of the Retinoic Acid in inducing apoptosis through a dependent andindependent pathway in cancer cells, we anticipation these annotations will shanty light on the impendingexploration of retinoic acid in cancer hindrance and rehabilitation

Abstract

Introduction, The parenting gap is believed to be one of the variables that influence stunting. The Objectivesof this study to identify gaps in care (feeding practices, care, hygiene, and treatment of children) andincidence of stunting. Method this study is a cross-sectional, conducted in March-June 2020 in Makassar CityIndonesia. The sample size was 82 people, of children aged 0-12 months. The data collectors are alumni ofapplied nutrition and dietetics degrees, trained for 2 days in health protocol, interviews, and anthropometry.The instrument in this study was developed from the UNICEF. The result, found that mothers and fathersgraduated from high school, 43% and 59.8%, respectively. The work of mothers as housewives is 84.1% andfathers are private employees as much as 36.6%. The parenting competency gap in the feeding practice ofchildren aged 0-6 months, 7-9 months, and 10-12 months is 20.9%, 71.79%, and 92.31%, respectively. Theresults of statistical analysis showed that there was an effect of parenting competency gaps on stunting (p= 0.000). The conclusion is that the parenting competency gap is proven to affect the incidence of stunting.The suggestion is that it is necessary to increase the capacity of mothers in child care practices/
