Abstract

Knowledge is a resource that health facilities are now seeking to enhance and enrich with the aim of increased performance. The main objective is to determine the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices of the staff of the provincial hospital of Sidi Slimane on the hospital waste management system. Our survey was carried out on 84 people working in the different departments of the hospital. The assessment of this state of knowledge was based on a questionnaire designed for this.The results of this study show that over 70% of respondents answered that medical and pharmaceutical wastes (MPW) is a problem for their health and confirmed that they knows the steps of MPW management.However, 70.2% (n = 59) of caregivers responded that they had not received any training in hospital waste management. In addition, 11 out of 25 caregivers who responded that they had received training, they had it as a traineeship, 6 out of 25 said they had attended to seminars. The staff surveyed believes that the awareness actions carried out by the hospital administration are insufficient and that the hospital staffs are not well informed in terms of hospital waste management (news, regulations, etc.).

Abstract

The spread of COVID-19 that caused by SARS-CoV-2 happened very fast & has infected many people. WHO reported 1,051,635 cases of COVID-19 and 56,985 confirmed deaths caused by COVID-19 as of April 4, 2020. SARS-CoV-2 is a novel coronavirus that originates from betacoronavirus together with SARS-CoV.This study aims to find and understand the differences between the SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV spikes in the infection and the spread of the resulting disease. This is a literature studies obtained from national journal articles indexed by SINTA and international journals indexed by Scimago or Scopus and published in 2015-2020. We concluded that there is a difference between the SARS-CoV-2 spike and the SARS-CoV spike, so that it can affect the spread of the disease. SARS-CoV-2 has a furin cleavage site that absent in SARS-CoV. The existence of this furin cleavage site can help the activation and the efficiency of the infection of the SARS-CoV-2 and increases its transmissibility to organs and populations when compared to viruses without furin cleavage sites such as SARS-CoV.

Abstract

Background: Novel Coronavirus or better known as Corona Virus Disease (COVID) 19 is a disease that first appeared in China in early December 2019. The disease quickly spread throughout China to Europe, the United States, Southeast Asia and Africa. Covid-19 is spread through droplets (particles) that come out through the human mouth when talking to others. This virus can infect everyone if the person is in contact with a covid-19 positive sufferer. So much for the ability of this virus to infect and spread is proven by the record that so far there are still many people infected with Covid-19 with increasing numbers.Method: This research method is a juridical-normative legal analysis. Legal research is based on the legal concept used.Results: The key to limiting the Covid-19 virus is that after knowing that something has been confirmed positive, tracing is immediately done to anyone who comes into contact with the patient. After all tracing is found, then a new examination is carried out whether they are also infected or not. Conclusion: There are several laws and regulations governing the opening of Patient Medical Rahasi, namely Law No. 36 of 2009 on Health and Regulation of the Minister of Health No. 269 of 2008 on Medical Records, which explicitly explains that related to the Covid-19 Pandemic is allowed to be opened Medical Secrets of patients concerning the interests and safety of thepublic.

Abstract

The research includes the partial purification of dipeptidyl peptidase-4(Dpp-4) from a person’s natural serum.The enzyme was purified in three steps, precipitation by ammonium sulfate (50%), dialysis and gel filtration by Sephadex G-100. The results showed a significant increase of Dpp-4 activity and specific activity,and a decrease in total activity after purification.The descent of the purified enzyme with the highest activity from the separation column was identical to the descending of the protein with the highest activity. The inhibitory activity of nitrile derivatives that were used on the purified enzyme was studied. Nitrile derivatives were used to inhibit the activity of the Dpp-4, selected based on similarity in sites of effective groups between derivatives and anti-hyperglycemic drugs (Dpp-4 inhibitors type). The results show an inhibitory effect by the two nitrile derivatives with different concentrations.These inhibitors can work to reduce the level of blood sugar in people with diabetes. Moreover,Molecular docking was exerted to understand interaction mechanism of the compounds against Dpp-4 at atomic level based on experimental processes.

Abstract

Background: Infection is still one of the highest cause of neonatal death in Indonesia. 30% of neonatal deaths are caused by infection (Kosen, 2005), with numbers ranging from 8,76% to 30,29% with fatality rates of up to 49,9% (Victor,1997). Several journals has discussed the relationship between premature rupture of membranes and neonatal sepsis. The author will review said literatures and conclude them.Aims of the Study: This review aims to analyze how premature rupture of membranes may cause neonatal sepsis and does the former increases risk of the latter.Methods of Study: Data will be appraised from associated literatures and synthesizing the results. Reviewed literatures are taken from Pubmed, NCBI PMC, and Google Scholar. Literature criteria are observational study with control, comparative study, and analytical descriptive study.Results: 13 literatures that discussed the relationship between premature rupture of membranes with neonatal sepsis were reviewed. While neonatal sepsis still occurs in women without premature rupture of membranes, women with premature rupture of membranes has marked a higher incidence of neonatal sepsis. The risks of neonatal sepsis are multifactorial, such as (1) low birth weight, (2) preterm premature rupture of membranes, (3) premature rupture of membranes with longer durations, and (4) healthcare quality.Conclusion: Premature rupture of membranes is shown to increase risk of neonatal sepsis occuring.
