Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disease with impairment in social interactions,language and repetitive stereotypical behaviors. Celastrol is a natural safe compound that has antiinflammatoryand as a neuroprotective effects. 48 male offspringswistar rats divided into 6 groups;normal control group, offsprings receive vehicle, autistic offsprings receive vehicle, autistic offspringsreceive risperidone, autistic offspringsreceive celastrol, autistic offspringsreceive both risperidone&celastrol. At the end of experiment behavioral tests were performed then neurochemical analysisand histopathological examination. The obtained data showed that celastrol improved social deficits,decreased repetitive/restricted behaviors in T-maze test, significant increase in SIRT-1, GSH levelwith significant decrease in DRP-1, IL-6, caspase-3 and MDA with amelioration of histopathologicalfindings in VPA-induced ASD in both cerebellum and hippocampus. These findings pave the way forusing celastrol as an adjuvant therapy during long-term clinical use of risperidone in ASD.

Abstract

Introduction - Hyperbilirubinemia is a commonly encountered problem in both term as well as preterminfants and is a source of concern to neonatologists.Aim- to determine the relationship between the usage of oxytocin during labour and the developmentof neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.Methodology- a case controlled study was conducted. 50 patients were given intravenous oxytocinfor the augmentation of their labour and 50 patients delivered spontaneously without the usage ofoxytocin during their labour. The neonates born to both these categories of patients were studied fortheir bilirubin levels of day 2 of life.Results- hyperbilirubinemia developed in 34% of the neonates whose mothers were given oxytocin foraugmentation of labour and hyperbilirubinemia developed in only 14% of the neonates whose mothersdelivered spontaneously without the usage of oxytocin.Conclusion- A positive relationship between the usage of oxytocin during labour and development ofneonatal hyperbilirubinemia has been established.

Abstract

There are no specific rules about doctors’ working hours in Indonesia, it causes working hours ofIndonesian doctors to be excessive. Following the rules of the labor law that the maximum work of aworker is 40 hours a week. However, with the applicable 3 Licenses For Practice rules, the doctor’swork hours will be more than 40 hours a week. It was to examine whether the working hours ofIndonesian Civil Servant doctors are rational.Based on Law No. 13 of 2003 about Manpower article77 paragraph (2), the maximum working hours of a worker is 40 hours. In reality, with the 3 LicensesFor Practice rules, if it was calculated, the working hours of civil servant of doctors in Indonesia wasvery excessive. In other countries, there were already standard rules. Doctors work 40 hours a weekor a maximum of 80 hours a week. Therefore, it needed to be studied further, whether the 3 LicensesFor Practice policy had provided a solution or had actually aggravated the condition of a civil servantdoctor. The monoloyalty discourse of a doctor needed to be balanced with an increase in the services orincentives of a civil servant doctor.With the rule of three Licenses For Practice, the working hours ofcivil servant doctors in Indonesia became excessive.
