Abstract

Alginate as a constituent of microspheres matrix has a weakness, namely the lack of ability to slow the release of drugs from the system, causing the effects of drug therapy to the body to be less than optimal. To obtain preparations with slowed release, sodium alginate needs to be combined with other polymers such as gelatin. This study aims to determine the effect of the concentration of CaCl 2 connection solution on the characteristics of alginate-gelatin microspheres. In this study, alginate-gelatin microspheres were prepared using ionotropic gelation aerosolization techniques. Three formulas were made, each of which was replicated three times. F1 with CaCl concentration2 0.5 M, F2 with CaCl concentration2 1.0 M, F3 with a concentration of 1.5 M. The three formulas were made in the ratio of alginate-gelatin (1.5: 1)% and a crosslinking time of 1.5 hours. Evaluation of the characteristics of microspheres includes yield percentage, organoleptic, moisture content, morphology of microspheres, size and size distribution of microspheres, and swelling index. The data of this study were analyzed using one way ANNOVA. The results reveals a loss of specific uptake of the COO-manuronate alginate group and the occurrence of wave number shifts as well as an increase in the absorption intensity of the C = O group. Organoleptic examination results of alginate-gelatinin microspheres showed that microspheres of the three formulas had the same organoleptic, and formed spherical microspheres. On the inspection of swelling index, it was found that F1 and F2 reached the peak of swelling at 2 o’clock, while F3 reaches the peak of swelling at 3 o’clock. The greater the level of CaCl2, then the average diameter of microspheres will also increase, while the swelling index will decrease with increasing levels of CaCl2. In the results of moisture content examination, there is no difference in different CaCl 2.

Abstract

ackground : Asthma is a health condition that affects breathing in people. Breathing comfortably is not something most of us need to think about. But if you have asthma, there are times when you have difficulty breathing.The main objectives in the current study are:Determine the role of adiponectin, a hormone that acts as an anti-inflammatory, In addition determine the concentration of immunoglobulin E (IgE) In asthma patients. Method: This study included two groups:Group 1: 80 Patients with asthma were divided into two parts (40 samples obese and 40 samples non-obese).Group 2: 80Group of healthy subjects with no history or clinical evidence of asthma. samples were divided into two parts (40 samples were obese and 40 were not obese). Asthma was diagnosed through a pulmonary function test (PFT) and then invited to a private clinic and measured nitric oxide gas (FeNO) to confirm the diagnosis.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA ) technique was used to determine the concentration of adiponectin and IgE in serum. Results: The present study demonstrated the increase of adiponectin level with asthmatic patients compared with the control group and showed significant difference between non-obese patients group and non-obese healthy group. Conclusion: Adiponectin related with obesity play crucial role in asthma development and inverse relationship between IgE and adiponectin

Abstract

Background: Anger is one of the worst negative predictions in cardiac patients. Therefore, this study aimed to cure the anger of patients admitted to the Cardiac Care Unit. Method: This quasi-experimental study was performed on 60 cardiac patients admitted to the heart care unit in a non-randomized sampling method in two groups (n = 30) and control (n = 30). In the test group, four to five times a day, the patient whispered to Allah Akbar or the prayers of Hazrat Zahra. In the control group, routine care was performed. The instrument for collecting information was anger questionnaire which was completed by self-report method before and after the intervention by the patients. The results were analyzed by inferential statistics (T-test, T-test and Independent T-test). Result: Paired t-test showed a significant difference in the test group before and after the intervention (P <0.01). But in the control group there was no significant difference (P = 0.92). Independent t-test before intervention in the control and experimental group did not show a significant difference (P = 0.22), but this test showed a significant difference after the intervention (P = 0.006) Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of the therapeutic approach to reducing the rate of anger in heart patients, this non-therapeutic method can be used to reduce stress and psychological disturbances in patients and to increase the compatibility and relaxation of patients.

Abstract

Background: Breast pain becomes more complicated in many humans. Various hospitals are planning for surgery in the initial stages. The main aim of this paper to find the various factors which cause mastalgia, this is mainly causing the abnormal conditions of the breast. Method : The experiments conducted on 400 patients and this is collected from various surveys, for patients older than the age of 40 the mammography and ultrasonography (US). Results : The mean age was 44.23 ± 9.23 years. This group consists of 300 cases, the asymptomatic group consists of 100 persons. Due to the various reasons that are related to mastalgia (p < 0.05). These are based on their breastfeeding to the child. If it is more than 4 times or more were higher in the mastalgia group (p < 0.04). The breast imaging-reporting and data system (BI-RADS 2) mammography results were associated with mastalgia (p < 0.05). These two are more common in the mastalgia group (p < 0.05) that is Fibro cysts and fibro adenomas. Based on the previous history the malignant breast disease was simultaneously higher in the mastalgia group (p < 0.05). Conclusions : Life stress, high caffeine consumption, smoking, lactation frequency, and benign disorders were factors identified to be related with mastalgia. Though a significant relation between mastalgia and malignant breast disease was detected in our study, more studies are still necessary to investigate this relationship.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis is a deadly disease worldwide. Tuberculosis usually occurs in the lung, but there are other tuberculosis most commonly afflicted by the patient and involves the spine and is called tuberculosis of bones and joints. Management of tuberculous spondylitis is conservative and operative. Aim: This study aimed to compare the results of conservative and operative therapy in the management of tuberculous spondylitis in children. Methods: The sample used was teaching with tuberculous spondylitis in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital who underwent operative and conservative therapy that became group 1 and group 2. Inclusion criteria included patients aged <18 years old, suffering from tuberculous spondylitis by conservative or operative therapy in Dr. Soetomo Hospital. Results: In patients receiving conservative therapy, the Visual analog scale (VAS) decreased significantly (p = 0.001), while frankle improved but not significantly (p = 0.157). Cobb’s angle of patients receiving conservative therapy increased significantly (p = 0.007). Patients who received operative therapy showed significant improvement of VAS and Frankle (p = 0.001 and p = 0.011). The patient’s Cobb’s angle after surgery decreased but it was not significant (p = 0.575). Conclusion: The role of surgical action has an important role in the treatment of tuberculous spondylitis and gives better results than conservatives in patients with pain, neurological deficits and Cobb’s angle progression.
