Abstract

Background: Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that have the characteristic of optic nerve damage with a specific pattern and field loss of view with or without increased intraocular pressure (IOP). The objective of the study was to analyze the association between glaucoma incidence with hs-CRP and IL-6 levels. Method: This study used patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria were in the form of patients with a primary closed-angle diagnosis, willing to participate in the research. The study was conducted in the period from March to August 2013. The research procedure included patient examination, hsCRP and IL-6 level examination. Results: Mann-Whitney test result showed difference of hs-CRP with p value of 0.755 and difference of IL-6 level with p = 0.95. Thus, there was no significant difference in the levels of hs-CRP and IL-6 in patients with glaucoma and non-glaucoma. Conclusion: Hs-CRP and serum IL-6 levels in the glaucoma group did not differ from the non-glaucoma group.

Abstract

Background: Prevalence of malnutrition in stroke patients in Indonesia is not known for certain because the assessment of nutritional status has not been conducted optimally in all stroke patient5s due to the existing limitations. Early nutritional status assessment is helpful in planning the provision of nutrition for acute stroke patients. Commonly used nutritional status assessment methods are anthropometry (LOLA and TST) and biochemistry (serum albumin levels). Objective: To analyze the association of early nutritional status with clinical severity in acute stroke patients. Methods: The study design was a prospective cohort with consecutive sampling according to inclusion and exclusion criteria of 102 subjects. Initial nutritional status was measured in Upper Arm Circumference (LOLA), Triceps Skinfold Thickness (TST), and serum albumin level. The clinical severity was measured by calculating the NIHSS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale) at admission to hospital and the 7th day of stroke. Data was analyzed using chi square (p <0.05). Results: Most subjects were males (52.00%) with mean age of clinical severity was 54.48 ± 9.634 years old. There was no significant association between initial nutritional status (p = 0.227) and serum albumin level (0.552) with clinical severity. The measurements of LOLA (p = 0.049) and TST (p = 0.481) were statistically significant (p = 0.049) but not clinically. Conclusion: There was no association between early nutritional status that was measured with LOLA, TST and serum albumin levels with clinical severity measured with NIHSS scale in acute stroke patients

Abstract

The competition in the field of international services has increased the potential for copyright infringement of well-known service marks. Accordingly, it is necessary to examine the criteria for well-known service marks and legal protection to protect the trademarks’ copyright. This paper analyzes the criteria for well-known service marks according to the instruments of international law and national law. Besides, this study aims to investigate the forms of well-known service mark violations and the efforts to recover the trademarks. The method employed in this study was normative legal research. That method was used since this thesis examined the norms in the laws and regulations as well as the judgments relating to the trademarks to find the law against the issue addressed by utilizing statute approach and conceptual approach. In the case of INTER-CONTINENTAL v. the intercontinental, the trademark violation occurred was brand dilution. The parties in the INTER-CONTINENTAL v. Intercontinental case could resolve their dispute through alternative dispute resolution in the form of mediation, conciliation, or arbitration. In addition, the act of trademarks counterfeiting and piracy may be subjected to criminal sanctions according to the provisions of the applicable Trademark Law. The infringement of trademark copyrights is a detrimental act for the trademark’s legal owner. The settlement of trademark infringement can be conducted through criminal channels and alternative dispute resolution by mediation, conciliation, or arbitration

Abstract

Background: Proprioception includes joint position and motion. Sensory information, central processes, and neuromuscular control are important in improving joint stability. The effective use of knee joint orthosis on knee joint performance, balance and coordination is still highly controversial and has slight information on the effect of the orthotic use on proprioceptive function. Objective: To analyze the effect of knee orthosis on proprioception function in adult male health’s subjects. Method: This study used an experimental research with pre-post study design. The sample of this study was the male patient of Physical and Rehabilitation treatment that met inclusion criteria. The data was taken by consecutive sampling in February 2017. The subjects were 11 healthy male adults who aged of 21-40 years old that meeting the inclusion criteria. All the subjects were measured proprioception function before and at 30 minutes using knee orthosis. Joint position sense (JPS) and time to detect passive movement (TTDPM), were measured by the cybex isokinetic dynamometer tool to measure the function of proprioception. Result: All the mean values of JPS before and at 30 minutes by using orthosis on both sides did not statistically show a significant difference (p >0.05), except at the corner of the JPS 60° on the right-sided knee (p <0.05). It meant TTDPM before and during 30 minutes using orthosis on both sides of the knee also did not show a significant difference (p >0.05). Conclusion: The use of ambulatory knee-ankle-foot orthosis caused the change in proprioception (JPS) at the right side 60o knee angle on the subject before and at 30 minutes using knee orthosis.
