Background: This narrative type review aimed to address organ toxicity emanating from incense usage.Methods: An online search using the following MeSH terms “Incense smoke,”, “adverse effects,”“organotoxicity”, “oxidative stress” and “inflammation” was done to identify studies directly applicable toadverse effects of incense smoke exposure.Findings: Exposure to incense smoke demonstrated various toxicity changes in the kidney, testes, lungs,liver and heart. Renal effects included a decrease in oxidative stress markers GSH and CAT, increase inMDA, serum creatinine uric acid and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Testicular toxicityrevealed significantdisturbances in spermatogenetic patterns, testicular atrophy, germinal aplasia, hypospermia and damage tothe basal seminiferous epithelia tissue. In the cardiac muscle, ultrastructural changes, increased oxidativestress, inflammation, and altered cardiac hypertrophic gene expression was noted. Thenegative impactof incense smoke emanating from free radical (ROS), lipid peroxidation and GSH destabilizes vascularhomeostasis and initiates ahyperinflammatory response, warranting the need to understand the conceptualbasis of the mode of action linked to incense exposure.Conclusion: We highlight that incense generates ROS which initiates lipid peroxidation through ATP energydepletion and reduction in the natural antioxidants. This subsequently triggers oxidative stress, inflammationand endothelial dysfunction resulting in organotoxicity

Distance learning is a learning system that does not take place in one room and there is no face-to-faceinteraction between the teacher and the learner. This study aims to determine the impact of implementingdistance learning in Indonesia from a commognitive point of view. This research is a descriptive type ofresearch with a total of 543 participants who come from high school students in Pasuruan district, Indonesia.Data collection using a questionnaire. After the questionnaire is collected, it is analyzed using the Milesand Huberman method through reduction, display data, and conclusion, then it will be studied based on thecommognitive theory. The results show that based on commognitive studies, students are more likely to stillneed a visual mediator as a visible object to be used as a communication medium, its realization dependson the material context. Students need to communicate to ask questions related to material that has not beenunderstood. So it can be said that visual mediator is important during distance learning.

Estimating the age at death in the adult skeleton is problematic owing to the biological variability in ageindictors and the differential skeletal response to environmental factors over an individual’s life. While thepubic symphysis and intracortical morphometry have provided successful results in estimating age at death,other methods and sites in the skeleton are needed to improve the accuracy of age estimation. Present studyis an attempt to develop a new method for estimation of age from sternal end of fourth rib. Currently thereare different parameters available to determine the age of a person like study of teeth, ossification of bonesand other ancillary data, but the accurate reliability of these measures is only limited to a particular agegroup i.e. 25± 5 years. For the age beyond this, many workers in different parts of the world have done theirstudies to accurately determine the age of a person from the skeleton. A random study of 100 cases for ageestimation from sternal ends of the fourth ribs were carried out to estimate the age after death with minimalerror.

This study aimed to screen Streptococcus pyogenes in the hospital and investigate the incidence of thisbacteria. The genotypes of the S.pyogenes in the study samples will be determined using 16Sr RNA and somevirulence factors(emm, scpA, speA genes).The majority of the samples (74.1%) were isolated from patientsat the emergency room and (25.9%) were from hospital environment (objects).The current study showed thatthe total of 215 patients with pharyngitis were included 118 (55%) males higher than 97 (45%) females. Thepatients’ ages ranged from 2 to 62 years, which were divided into four categories. The majority of patients65 (30.1%) of patients from 3 to 6 years old, 54 (25%) of patients less than 3years, 51 (23.6%) from 7 to 11years old, and 46 (21.3%) more than 12years. Six isolates sent for sequencing were after that submission inNCBI-GenBank database. The results of nucleotide sequence alignment of the isolates revealed that thereare multiple point mutations, four of them appeared as a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and twoappeared in duplicate. Polymorphic sites (Mutations) of 6 S.pyogenes isolates.

The current study was designed to evaluate the protective effect of silver nanoparticles against toxicityinduced by amoxicillin/clavulanate acid. Number of rats in the experiment are nine divided into three groupseach group has three rats. The first group is kept as control group and administrated normal saline, the secondis administered amoxicillin/clavulanate acid at dose 80 mg/kg and third group is administered amoxicillin/clavulanate acid at dose 80 mg/kg and silver nanoparticles at dose 50 mg/kg for 30 days. The results showsignificant increase (p<0.05) in the liver aminotransferase levels (AST, ALT and ALP), total protein andalbumin in addition significant increase (p<0.05) in the lipid profile total cholesterol TC, triglyceride TG,low density lipoprotein LDL, very low density lipoprotein VLDL and significant decrease (p<0.05) inthe high density lipoprotein HDL incompare with control group. In conclusion: silver nanoparticles hasbeneficial effectagainst side effects induced by amoxicillin/clavulanate acid in rats.

The global health problem that increases significantly every year is psychiatric disorders. Decrease in thequality of life of people with mental disorders, error in the recurrence rate suffered. This study aims to seethe effectiveness of holistic family-centered mental health care in preventing recurrence and improving thequality of life of people with mental disorders in Kediri Regency, East Java Province. The research designused RCT (Randomized Control Trial). The population in the study was people with mental disorders. Theresearch sample consisted of 38 groups of respondents and 38 control groups with the multistage randomsampling technique. Dependent variables were disease recurrence and quality of life for people with mentaldisorders. Va¬riabel independent is a family-centered holistic mental health care. The instrument uses aquestionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis used an independent t-test usingSTATA 13. The t-test results showed that the increase in the average increase in the treatment group afterbeing given the intervention “family-centered holistic mental health care” while the control group did notchange significantly. Holistic, family-centered mental health care with a multilevel approach in this study iseffective in preventing relapses and improving the lives of people with mental disorders. It is hoped that itcan be used to help improve the quality of life for a wider range of people with mental disorders

A recent outbreak was caused by SARS-CoV-2 was named Coronavirus disease- COVID-19. The first casewas detected in China. It continued to spread globally and later was declared as a pandemic by WHO.Pneumonia like symptoms was observed which later led to respiratory illness, renal impairment, and death.Closed contact, respiratory droplets through cough, and sneeze are the mode transmission. Symptomsgenerally occur 2-14 days after infection. PCR is performed using various samples collected from infectedpatients and is the standard method of diagnosis. Chest X-ray, CT, and the symptoms observed generallyshow the extent of progress of the disease. Although there is no effective cure, currently symptomatictreatment and supportive care are available to reduce pneumonia-like symptoms and to decrease the severityof the condition. Preventive measures proposed by the WHO is to maintain proper personal hygiene, socialdistancing, and the use of the mask.
