Abstract

Growth and development in toddlers is very important, especially the nutritional needs of toddlers. MP-ASI is additional food to provide sufficient nutrition for babies. MP-ASI is divided into two types, namely traditional and industrial. Traditional MP-ASI is baby porridge that is prepared by yourself and sold on the side of the road. Hygiene and sanitation in roadside food can have a negative impact on consumers, especially bacterial contamination of food, one of which is Coliform bacteria, Escherichia Coli, etc. The method for calculating and estimating the number of E. coli bacteria found in chicken meat in this study used the Most Probable Number (MPN). The results showed that of the 4 samples tested, 3 were contaminated with E. Coli bacteria and 1 was negative for E. Coli bacterial contamination

Abstract

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) is a plant belonging to the Guttiferae family with origins in Southeast Asia. The primary components in mangosteen peel consist of xanthones, particularly α-mangostin, which displays diverse pharmacological effects such as anti-diabetic properties, antioxidant activity, and anti-inflammatory effects. However, due to the insufficient information regarding studies on pharmacokinetics (administration, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity), the objective of this investigation is to explore pharmacokinetic predictions utilizing the pkCSM web tool. The α-mangostin compound, acquired from PubChem accessible at https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/, underwent pharmacokinetic analysis using the web tool available at https://biosig.lab.uq.edu.au/pkcsm/prediction. The study findings revealed that the α-mangostin compound, subjected to pharmacokinetic analysis with pkCSM, exhibited limited distribution capability.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a substantial global health challenge, affecting diverse patient populations, particularly those with chronic kidney disease. Hospitals are presently dependent on two antiviral medications, favipiravir and remdesivir, to mitigate the impact of this disease on patients with chronic kidney disease. This study aims to evaluate the utilization of favipiravir and remdesivir in COVID-19 patients with chronic kidney disease in a hospital setting. This research will employ a retrospective approach to gather data from the medical records of COVID-19 patients with chronic kidney disease who received treatment with favipiravir or remdesivir in the hospital. Considering the prevalence of favipiravir usage at 64% and remdesivir at 36%, this research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness and associated risks of toxicity linked to these two medications in COVID-19 patients with chronic kidney disease

Abstract

This report investigates the biodiversity of marine animals, focusing on extinct sponge species near Lesbos Island based on Aristotle's descriptions. Mujito, introduced in the literature review, is from the GeoMaud expedition in Antarctica. Various instrumental analysis methods, such as ESI mass spectrometry and NMR, contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the compounds, particularly in the context of Alzheimer's research. The pharmacantarctic literature study concludes that Antarctic Mumijo, particularly from Mujito fossil deposits, holds significant biomedical potential. It exhibits organic components like wax esters with notable biomedical activities, particularly in treating bone diseases. Additionally, Mumijo's composition resembles non-fossil samples, with wax esters dominating and unique components like α-glyceryl fatty alcohol ethers indicating neuroprotective potential. The research suggests promising applications in Oriental medicine, addressing wounds, skin diseases, tuberculosis, respiratory diseases, and neurological conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Overall, Antarctic Mumijo showcases diverse biomedical prospects, emphasizing its organic components' therapeutic value
