Abstract

Introduction: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in young adults is associated with high morbidity, particularly involves extensive lobar areas and necessitates surgical intervention. Although increased neuroplasticity is associated with younger age, the functional recovery following craniotomy can differ significantly even neuroplasticity increased in young adults. Limited evidence available on rehabilitation-focused outcomes in this population. Objective: This study aimed to describe functional recovery following a structured rehabilitation program in a young adult patient after severe intracerebral hemorrhage and craniotomy Methods: A 39-year-old man had a large left frontotemporoparietal ICH with intraventricular extension had emergency craniotomy and hematoma evacuation. Two months later, severe right-sided paralysis (Brunnstrom stage 1), shoulder subluxation, poor functional speech, and total dependence on everyday activities (Barthel Index 40/100) were evident. A structured, goal-directed rehabilitation programme was implemented over four weeks, focusing on endurance training, mobility control, compensatory strategies using the unaffected limb, cognitive stimulation and caregiver education. Results: After a month of rehabilitation, the patient achieved independent bed-to-sit mobility, increased unsupported sitting tolerance from 10 to 60 minutes, partially comprehensible speech, and improved independence in basic activities of daily living using compensatory strategies. The Barthel Index improved to 65/100 with Burnnstrom increase from 2 to 3 for right extremities and Burnnstrom 2 to 5 for left extremities. Conclusion: Young adults with severe intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) can achieve meaningful functional independence through endurance-focused and compensatory rehabilitation strategies, even neurological motor recovery is limited. Significant functional outcomes beyond motor restoration may be achieved through rehabilitation goals targeting activity and participation.

Abstract

Introduction: Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a major environmental problem characterized by low pH and elevated heavy metals such as Fe and Mn that can contaminate aquatic ecosytems. Environmentally friendly treatment alternatives include water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) for phytoremediation and biochar for metal adsorption and pH buffering Objective: To analyze the effects of water hyacinth and biochar on increasing pH and reducing Fe and Mn concentrations in AMD Method: An experimental study was conducted using combination treatments of water hyacinth and biochar at several dosage levels. Measured parameters included pH and Fe–Mn concentrations. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at a 5% significance level. Results and Discussion: Water hyacinth did not significantly increase pH but significantly reduced Fe at 15 stems. Biochar significantly raised pH toward near-neutral conditions and reduced Fe and Mn, with the best performance at 20 g L⁻¹. Combined treatments were more effective than single treatments, increasing pH to 6.5–7.5 and achieving >99% Fe and Mn removal Conclusion: Water hyacinth–biochar combinations offer a promising, low-cost, and eco-friendly AMD treatment via synergistic phytoremediation and adsorption

Abstract

Introduction: Construction projects in nickel mining, such as the Indonesia Growth Project (IGP) Pomalaa, involve numerous workers and high-risk activities, making occupational accidents a significant concern. Safety management practices in many projects are often administrative and reactive, limiting their effectiveness in systematically preventing accidents. This study examines the implementation of accident prevention programs and identifies strategies to enhance occupational health and safety management in mining construction projects. Objective: The study aims to analyze the factors causing workplace accidents, describe how accident prevention programs are implemented, and evaluate their effectiveness in improving safety performance at the IGP Pomalaa construction project. Method: A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, complemented by secondary quantitative data. Data were collected through field observations, interviews with safety personnel including managers, officers, supervisors, and workers, as well as document reviews of safety reports, accident records, and safe work procedures. Data analysis followed the steps of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing to provide an in-depth understanding of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System implementation within the project. Result and Discussion: The main causes of workplace accidents were identified as Job Safety Analyses that were insufficiently specific to task hazards, unsafe worker behaviors including non-compliance with protective equipment and housekeeping procedures, weak supervision, and safety communication not fully aligned with field conditions. These factors interacted to form chains of causation consistent with accident prevention theory. The findings show that strengthening risk analysis, improving safety leadership, and implementing participatory, context-specific safety programs are critical to enhancing the safety culture in mining construction projects. Conclusions: Addressing through targeted safety programs can significantly reduce workplace accidents and improve overall safety culture in mining construction projects.

Abstract

Introduction: Degenerative joint disease is a major cause of disability and functional limitation, particularly in the elderly, and conventional treatments are often limited to symptomatic relief without addressing structural degeneration. Objective: This study aims to review the mechanisms of action and clinical effectiveness of regenerative therapies in the management of degenerative joint disease. Method: A literature review was conducted by analyzing relevant scientific articles, including clinical trials, systematic reviews, and experimental studies focusing on platelet-rich plasma, mesenchymal stem cells, prolotherapy, and regenerative hydrogels. Result and Discussion: Regenerative therapies show the ability to reduce pain, improve joint function, and support tissue repair through biological mechanisms such as anti-inflammatory effects, cell proliferation, and extracellular matrix regeneration. Platelet-rich plasma shows consistent benefits in early-stage disease, while mesenchymal stem cells offer potential for long-term structural regeneration. Prolotherapy provides a simple and cost-effective alternative, and hydrogels enhance therapeutic delivery and tissue support, especially in combination therapies. However, variability in protocols and limited long-term evidence remain key challenges. Conclusions: Regenerative therapy represents a promising approach for degenerative joint disease management, but further standardized and long-term studies are required to optimize clinical application and ensure safety and effectiveness

Abstract

The bilateral left anterior descending artery (LAD) variant is a rare congenital coronary anomaly defined by the presence of two LADs within the anterior interventricular groove. The shorter LAD terminates proximally, while the longer LAD extends distally to supply the apical region of the heart. This report describes a patient with typical stable angina pectoris in whom a bilateral LAD variant was identified. Coronary angiography revealed a proximal LAD occlusion, no ostial lesion was found in intravascular ultrasound examination. Subsequent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) confirmed the presence of bilateral LADs. The shorter LAD originated from the left main coronary artery, and the longer LAD arose from the proximal conus branch of the right coronary artery, passing between the aorta and the right ventricular outflow tract. These imaging findings are consistent with a type VI bilateral LAD variant. Recognition of this rare anatomical configuration is crucial, as it may complicate the diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease. This case underscores the importance of multimodal imaging, particularly CT angiography, in accurately identifying coronary artery variations that can significantly influence clinical decision-making and interventional planning
