Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze changes in levels of 2,3 DPG and lactic acid on WB storagetime. This research is an observational analytical with time series design was conducted at the ClinicalPathology Installation and Blood Bank Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya in the period July- September 2020. Levels of 2,3 DPG and lactic acid were measured in 16 bags of Whole Bloodcomponents on the day 1, day 5, day 10, day 20 and day 30. Statistical analysis was performed usingthe Friedman test. The results were statistically significant if p <0.05. The Friedman statistical testshowed that there were significant differences in levels of 2.3 DPG (p <0.001) and levels of lacticacid (p <0.001) during storage. The results showed that the level of 2,3 DPG in WB which was storeddecreased according to the duration of storage. The yield of lactic acid on stored WB increased withthe duration of storage. Therefore, saving WB is recommended to be given within <6 days to reducethe risk of acidosis. Further research is needed for other parameters that can affect the storage process.

Abstract

This article discusses the distribution of pandemic in the world and pandemic curve in Jordan and how the science of probability and statistics predict when active cases tend to zero by determining the shape of epidemic curve and relating it to a special probability distribution that has specific measures and properties. At the beginning of the outbreak of any virus in a society, reliable data describing it and its spread will be rare, hence researchers set up statistical models that have the ability to predict the spreads’ shape, where the prospected people hosting such viruses will go to and the likelihood of transmitting it to places they travel. Those models use known statistical measures that estimate the probability of disease transmission from infected people to others. In addition, the factors related to roads and people’s movement, taking into consideration, public health interventions, such as wearing masks, closing places of people’s aggregations like schools, universities mosques and churches and quarantine make difference in numbers of infected people. The fundamental differences between the “Spanish flu” that attacked the world a hundred years ago and “Coronavirus” the world facing since the beginning of the current year 2020 is the amount of huge data concluded from scientific studies and reports related to virology and epidemiology.

Abstract

Introduction: Lead can induce lipid oxidation in cell membrans, thus forming free radicals. The process of imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants will disrupt the normal function of cells, causing cell death and decreased sperm quality. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to explain the mechanism of steeping tin leaves (Ficus carica) increase sperm quality in male mice (Mus musculus) exposed to lead acetate. Methods: This type of research was true experimental design with posttest only control group design with the number of replications of 10 male mice, the experimental unit will be distributed proportionally to 5 groups. Steeping tin leaves will be given with a dose of Pb + Tin Leaf 1.664 mg (P1) and Pb + Tin Leaf 3.328 mg (P2), while for lead acetate dose 0.5 mg and quercetin dose 0.7 mg. The analyzed variables included spermatozoa motility, spermatozoa morphology, and spermatozoa concentration. Data analysis was conducted including the Shapiro-Wilks normality test, and the homogeneity test used the Levene test. If the data were not homogeneous, the group average test would use the Brown-Forsythe test, then continued with a different test for each group using the Post Hoc Games-Howell test. If the Levene test data were homogeneous, the group average test would use Oneway Anova. Findings: The results showed that giving of steeping tin leaves with a dose of Pb + Tin leaves 3.328 mg (P2) is able to increase spermatozoa motility and spermatozoa morphology. Conclusion: The steeping tin leaves increase sperm quality

Abstract

Advances in science and technology and the ability, skills, and soul of the art of Plastic Reconstructiveand Aesthetic Surgeons can change human organs according to the patient’s wishes to improve one’sappearance to become more beautiful or handsome. Aesthetic plastic surgery is not performed totreat physical disabilities, in contrast to reconstructive plastic surgery, which aims to treat physicaldisabilities. However, misunderstandings or failures can occur because Plastic Reconstructive andAesthetic Surgeons are also human, so it does not give satisfaction to the results expected by the patient.Not infrequently, the misunderstanding peaked, resulting in a dispute between the doctor of PlasticReconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons with the patient. This research method is normative juridicalresearch empirical. The research specification in this study is descriptive-analytical. Research conductedusing secondary data sources that include primary legal materials in norms, basic rules, laws, andregulations. The results of this study explain that Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons shouldnot give an appointment or guarantee success on the surgical efforts that have been done because thereare other factors beyond their power as a doctor. The doctor should explain the risks and complicationsthat may occur. In addition, before surgery, it is recommended that a complete agreement be madewith the patient, and the patient understands and understands the risks or possibilities that can occurpostoperatively in the future. The doctor and patient agreement are made in full and detailed in writtenform before medical action is carried out by involving a notary public to ensure legal certainty, fairness,and benefit.

Abstract

The current study aimed to extract and purify the phenolic compound Resveratrol from dried blackgrape residues, Vitis vinifera, which were purchased from the local market in Iraq. Resveratrol wasextracted from sun-dried grape residues with 2.5 liters of 80% ethanol. Then the compound resveratrolwas concentrated using a rotary evaporator and dried in very high freezing conditions after beingfiltered with animal charcoal. A partially purified material was obtained after a column chromatographyprocess, where 9 grams were obtained for every 600 grams of grape residues as a result of these steps.Chemical tests were conducted to detect resveratrol, and they included: general tests for polyphenols,detection of unsaturated cyclic compounds, high-efficiency liquid chromatography (HPLC) method.The results showed the appearance of two peaks at a wavelength of 280 nm for the compound resveratrolextracted from grape residues, where the time of its appearance was at 4.267 /min compared with thestandard compound resveratrol which was at 4.356 /min. The concentration of the resveratrol extractwas 107.6 ppm. The total antioxidant activity of resveratrol extracted from grape residues and thestandard compound resveratrol was estimated. The total antioxidant activity of resveratrol extractedfrom grape residues was 71.14%, while it was 62.21% for the standard compound resveratrol. Theresults showed that the resveratrol compound extracted from grape residues was purified in the darkto prevent the conversion of resveratrol from trans to cis. The study also shed light on the quantities ofresveratrol contained in grape residues, and this depends on the extraction steps as well as the purposeof its applications.

Abstract

Background & Objectives: Knee is the largest synovial joint in the body. Although FSE PD (fastspin echo proton density) imaging technique for the diagnosis of meniscal tear has replaced CSE PD(conventional spin echo proton density) technique in many MRI centers, several studies have questionedthe effectiveness of FSE PD technique in diagnosis of meniscal tear. In this study, the diagnostic valuesof CSE PD and FSE PD techniques in evaluation of meniscus tear are compared.Materials: In this study, using CSE PD and FSE PD techniques, MRI was performed on 67 knees ofpatients with suspected meniscal tear referring to the MRI Center of Imam Reza Hospital (Kermanshah,Iran). Diagnostic arthroscopy was also performed for all patients. The data were entered SPSS version20, and finally the results of MRI reports of the two techniques were compared in evaluation of meniscaltear taking into account the arthroscopic findings as the gold standard.Results: According to the results of this study, no significant difference was found in specificity andpositive predictive value of the two techniques. However, the sensitivity and negative predictive valueswere significantly different, in such a way that the related values were 97% and 97% in the CSE PDtechnique and 69% and 73% in the FSE PD technique, respectively.Conclusion: Due to low sensitivity and high false negative results, MRI using FSE PD technique is notrecommended as an alternative for CSE PD technique in evaluation of meniscal tear.
