Abstract

Sigmoid volvulus is a condition in which sigmoid colon wraps around itself and its own mesentery, which then causes a closed-loop obstruction. This condition accounts for 50-90% cases of twisted large intestine and often affects adults and are commonly found in males. The classic triad signs and symptoms are abdominal pain, distention, and constipation. Although the emergency resection seems to be the right procedure in treating acute sigmoid volvulus, there is still non-surgical treatment often done in several conditions. We reported a 52-years-old male with uncomplicated acute sigmoid volvulus who underwent non-surgical treatment due to his refusal of surgical therapy. Non-surgical treatment was successfully done and no recurrence found within one year. The aim of this report was to emphasize that non-surgical therapy only could be successfully done without surgical treatment.

Abstract

Background: Administration of high-dose paracetamol had been indicated to induce several molecular and biochemical cascades of hepatotoxicity. The abundant amount of ROS formation following the uptake of the medication exceeds the physiologic antioxidant capacity of the body, leading to the occurrence of oxidative stress. Wild strawberries (Fragaria vesca L)extractsare thought to have hepatoprotective activities regarding the high activity of antioxidants contained.Method: Aspartate Transaminase (AST) activity was used as a marker of hepatotoxicity. In the 10 days trial, randomized samples of 24 male Wistar rats (Rattus Norvegicus) were used and divided into three groups: 1 group without treatment, 1 group receiving oral paracetamol 1750 mg/kg in CMC-Na suspension, and 1 group receiving oral paracetamol 1750 mg/kg following administration of strawberry extract 400 mg/kg. The strawberry extract was administered from day 1 to 10, while high-dose paracetamol was administered on day 9. AST activity analysis was done on day 10 of the trial. Significant results were found showing an increased AST activity in the paracetamol-only group (p=0.001) and a decreased AST activity in the group receiving strawberry extract (p=0.001). Conclusion: Fragaria vesca L extracts were proven in vivo to have hepatoprotective activities against paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity

Abstract

Objectives: Anthropometry is notable for its suggestions in, human anatomy, forensic science, and physical human studies. Human nose is an unmistakable rule in close to recognizable proof and is an impression of uniqueness of each person. The information on nasal estimation is essential to clinicians like maxillofacial specialists, craniofacial specialists empowering them in identification of typical or strange changes, help with repair and reconstruction. Prosthetic recovery additionally requires the capacity to envision the position and measurement of the nose inside the facial closeness. In this way, the admittance to nasal information for every populace are worthwhile. The main intension was to quantify the parameters of outer nose of adult Malay populace and to decide the critical distinction in nose measurement among races.Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study was led on 420 people (80 Malay male, 80 Malay female, 60 Indian male, 70 Indian female, 60 Chinese male and 70 Chinese female) in the age range 18-45 years. In this study digital caliper was utilized to identify the nasal landmarks. This research was conducted that the mean of variables were statistically significant differences in nose measurement scores among adult Malay population. All the average independent variables were measured and compared whether differs at the same time among races and ethnic groups.Results:It was discovered that nasal measurement were remarkably larger in Indian and Malay than in Chinese for nasal tip protrusion, nasal height and nasal length. There were larger in Chinese than in Malay for nasal width and alar base root. There were larger in Indian than in Malay for nasal width, nasal height and nasal length. But there was no significant difference in nasal parameters among genders of Malay populace. Conclusion: Thestatisticallysignificant difference in nasal anthropometric nasal parameters were found among three ethnic groups of adult Malay population. But there was no significant difference in anthropometric nasal values among genders of Malay populace

Abstract

Pyocinsis a bacteriocin produced by a group of Gram-ngative bacteria that belongs to Pseudomonasspecies. Pyocin is classified as a two distinct families of pyocins. (i) S-type pyocins (colicin-like bacteriocins), (ii) Tailocins (high-molecular weight bacteriocins that resemble phage tails).The structure of S-type pyocin is similar to that of colicin except that many S-type pyocins have three domains. Under normal conditions, the expression of prtN is repressed by PrtR. Upon exposure to stress conditions, such as DNA damage by chemicals or ultraviolet irradiation, an activated RecA triggers autoproteolytic cleavage of PrtR, which abrogates prtN repression and leads to pyocinproduction. The outer membrane receptors for three pyocins have been identified. These are FpvAI, FpvAII and FptA, all of which are involved in the uptake of iron-siderophore complexes. Before being translocated through the membrane and killing their target.This is becoming increasingly important as microbial imbalances in the natural gut flora have been suggested to play a role in a range of chronic diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, obesity and rheumatoid arthritis.Pyocin has now been shown to have antimicrobial activity againstbacteria in a biofilm is a limiting factor in the successful treatment of a range of chronic infections

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic until June 2020, there were 277,000 mental health cases in Indonesia. The number increase compared to 2019. The number of shackling due to mental illness increased from 5,200 in 2019 to 6,200 in 2020. Shackling is strictly prohibited because it violates the law and human rights. Criminal sanctions in Article 333 of the Criminal Code are prepared for those who shackle people with mental illness. The punishment stipulated in this article is also applied to people who intentionally give space to the deprivation of other people’s freedom.The program of “Indonesia Shackle-Free” was launched in 2010, the target was forced to be pushed back until 2019 and remains challenging to achieve. The number of shackling increases due to a lack of public understanding of mental health. This paper aims to explore further the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and the condition of people with mental illnesses (ODGJ) in Indonesia. Another impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on ODGJ is drug withdrawal because of the disruption of drug circulation during the pandemic. The allocation of health financing is also focused on dealing with the pandemic.Promotive efforts are expected to eliminate stigma, discrimination, and human rights violations for ODGJ in the community. Whereas, preventive efforts by developing parenting styles that support mental growth and development, communication, and education in the family are expected to provide appropriate mental health services for ODGJ when entering the rehabilitation stage
