Abstract

Background: Batik substances may increase the risk of biological function disruption to batik workers.Objective: To Determine the effectiveness of using test gloves in transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skinhydration level, and skin acidity (pH).Methods: This study was one group pretest-posttest design of 16 batik workers. Subjects use test glovesmade from neoprene on right hands and personal gloves made from thermoplastic polymer of vinyl chlorideon left hands in first and second week. Washed out for 2 weeks, last 2 weeks use test gloves on left handand personal gloves on right hand. TEWL, skin hydration level, and pH was examined by Cutometer dualMP-580Result: First and second week using test gloves on the right hand, significantly differences of TEWL levelon extensor and dorsum manus; skin hydration level on flexor, extensor, palmar, and dorsum manus; pHon extensor, palmar and dorsum manus (p<0.05; CI 95%). Fifth and sixth week using test gloves in theleft hand, significantly difference of TEWL level on dorsum manus, all area of skin hydration level and pHresults (p<0.05; CI 95%). No significant differences of comparison right and left hand in the first, second,fifth, and sixth week, that showed any types of gloves can protect batik workers from skin barrier disruption.Conclusion: Personal gloves and test gloves usage for protection doesn’t have much significant difference.Wearing gloves may also give risk to trigger contact dermatitis if not used properly or using incompatiblematerial.

Abstract

The resistance of pathogenic bacteria is a global health dynamic and the time is nowtofind alternativesolutions from plant secondary metabolites.Ageratum conyzoidesL. is a plant known as akazirarugumain Rwandaand used to treat wounds and ulcers. This study aimedto evaluate the phytochemical profileand germicidal efficacy of ethanolic and aqueous leaf extracts of Ageratum conyzoides L. grown inRwasave wetland.Theleaves were collected and dried under the shed for 10 days, blended into powderby electric blender and macerated with water and 96% ethanol. Phytochemical screening wasperformedby followingthe standard procedures and antibacterial activity of the extracts wasexamined by agar welldiffusion method and the inhibition zones were recorded.Phytochemical screening revealed the presence ofdifferent secondary metabolites including alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids and saponins. In this assessment,aqueous and ethanolic extracts exhibited significant inhibitory activity against testedpathogens with inhibition zones that ranging from6±0.9 mm to 20±0.5 mm of diameter. The minimuminhibition concentrations range between 0.47 mg/mL and 15.00 mg/mL.The resultsconfirm that the leavesof akazirarugumacould be the credible source ofantibacterial agents that should be used for therapeuticpurposes and in production of pharmaceuticals.

Abstract

Background: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder, characterizedby intestinal hamartoma polyps in association with distinct patterns of skin and mucosal macular melanindeposition. Patients with PJS have a 15-fold increased risk of developing bowel cancer compared to thegeneral population.Case: A 47-year-old woman complained of black patches appearing on the lower and upper lips. Severalmonths ago, the patient said that black patches appeared on the gums and inner cheeks. Gastrointestinalcomplaints such as nausea or vomiting were previously denied. Dermatological examination in the oriset ginggiva et buccalis region showed multiple well-defined hyperpigmented macules. Histopathologicalexamination found an increase of melanocytes in the stratum basale with rows of melanocytes. Patienthad an endoscopy in the gastrointestinal tract and histopathological examination of the colonic mucosa, noabnormalities were found and no signs of malignancy were found on histopathological examination.Conclusion: Result of histopathological examination showed an increase in the number of melanocytesin the stratum basale with lined melanocytes. Based on histopathological examination in this patient moreleads to the diagnosis of PJS

Abstract

Background of the Study: Alcohol affects virtually every organ system, and alcoholics are at increasedrisk medical problems. Many factors contribute for poor response to treatment and outcome. The factorslike poor adherence and motivational level by patients with alcohol use disorders (has often been raised inthe literature. However, there has been a limited effort to measure the problem. Hence the investigator feltthat there is need to assess the level of readiness to change, Medication adherence and Quality of life amongalcoholics.Methods: A descriptive Survey research design was adopted for the present study. 100alcohol dependentindividual were recruited by simple random sampling method. The Stage of Change Readiness andTreatment Eagerness Scale, Morisky Medication Adherence ScaleandWHO quality of life-BREFwere usedto assess readiness to change, medication adherence and quality of life. The study was conducted at selectedHospitals, Bangalore.Results: The result shows that majority (73%) of respondents are having low level of readiness to change,medication adherence (67%) and quality of life (56%). A moderate positive correlation was found betweenreadiness to change and medication adherence(r=0.67), a negligible positive correlation found betweenreadiness to change with quality of life (r=0.032) and a high positive correlation was found between qualityof lifewith medication adherence(r=0.71).Conclusion: The study concludes that alcohol dependent individual had low level of readiness to change,medication adherence and quality of life.

Abstract

The high frequency of patient visits to the ER will disrupt the service process at the Emergency Department(IGD). One solution is the application of a triage system, which is the process of sorting patients accordingto their level of gravity. The accuracy of triage decisions has a significant impact on patient outcomes sothat in this case nurses in the ER must have knowledge, understanding, and skills about triage. Analyzepersonal factors that influence emergency nurse decision-making. This study aimed to identify personalfactors influencing triage decision-making among emergency nurses. Respondents were 30 male and femalenurses who worked and were active up to now in the IGD Hospital of the University of MuhammadiyahMalang. Data on work experience, education, and training were taken from data on the characteristics ofrespondents. The knowledge questionnaire came from the Emergency nurses association/ENA while theskills questionnaire used the Triage Skill Questionnaire/TSQ. The Spearman correlation test shows that thereis a significant relationship between skills and education with triage decision making (p=0.000; r=0.626 andp=0.039; r=0.378). Meanwhile, the variables of knowledge, work experience, and training do not correlatewith triage decision making (p> 0.05) except that GELS training shows a significant relationship betweenGELS training and triage decision making (p=0.016; r=0.437). The results of linear regression analysis,skills, and education are factors that influence decision-making in conducting triage in the ER (45,4%).Skills and education are the factors that most influence triage decision-making.

Abstract

Lidocaine has remained the gold standard local anaesthetic agent to perform dental procedures both in theadult as well as in the pediatric patients. However, the invent of articaine has offered the clinicians with anewer and more potent local anaesthetic agent, which causes minimal side effects. Articaine is 1.5 timesmore potent and 0.6 times less toxic than lidocaine. Also, adequate anaesthesia achieved through infiltrationroute of administration of the drug, almost eliminates the need for the painful and difficult inferior alveolarnerve block in children, thereby minimising the side effects. Thus, achieving adequate anaethesia throughthe administration of a small volume of the drug has opened up a new vista for pediatric dentists in managingpain in children, although manufacturers do not recommend the usage of articaine in children less than 4years of age due to paucity of evidence. So, this review article tries to throw light on the use of articaine inpediatric patients, citing evidence from literature and also tries to portray the recent advances in the researchon articaine use in pediatric patients less than 4 years of age.
