Abstract

Technological evolution from conventional to digital in diagnostic imaging bring a change in the implementation of Quality Control (QC) of radiology. As a part of the Quality Assurance (QA), QC Radiology is implemented to determine the eligibility condition of the radiography equipment used for the radiological examinations. A Direct Digital Radiography (DDR) unit has been installed in Radiography Laboratory (Lab 3), School of Radiodiagnostic and Radiotherapy, the Health Polytechnic of Semarang since February 2013. However, routine performance tests of the equipment have never been performed. This study aimed to obtain baseline data by assessing the equipment parameters of the X-ray and the digital-DDR systems (illumination collimator; collimator accuracy; beam alignment; tube leakage; kVp accuracy; timer accuracy; mA linearity; reproducibility; HVL, and dark image; nonuniformity; noise; bad pixels; lag respectively). Accuracy and reproducibility of the DDR unit were measured following the procedure of Perka Bapeten No. 9-2011 (for X-ray System) and IEC 62220-1: 2003 (for digital system. Data were analyzed descriptively by QC-DR software. Results showed that X-rays system and digital system had overall good performance. Signal non-uniformity was found in the value of Local Signal to Noise Ratio (LSNRNU) and Global Signal to Noise Ratio (GSNRNU. Non-uniformity caused by the characteristics of the detector and the lack of correction in system performance. Signal correction software needed to be developed to reach signal uniformities. Spatial resolution and low contrast detectability testing also needed to be performed to ensure the ability of the DDR unit to produce image resolution and contrast picture of the object.

Abstract

The examination of intravenous pyelography (IVP) is one of the tests carried out with the aim to examine abnormalities of urinary tract anatomy and physiology. The opacity of urinary tract anatomy and function of the kidney, especially on an X-ray, is influenced by serum urea and creatinine levels of the patients prior to conducting the IVP examination. The study was an observational survey with retrospective approach. Purpose of this study was to describe the opacity of kidney picture in Nephrogram phase with different urea and creatinine levels. Urea and creatinine data were obtained from medical records of patients who underwent radiological examinations in Dr. Moewardi Hospital in 2013. The nephrogram phase imaging picture was taken from the document of Computed Radiography. The study sample was 41 patients. Data of overview kidney opacity in nephrogram phase were analyzed with Matlab software to get the value at the point calyces Pixel kidney (ROI). Research results revealed that 32 p atients (78%) of 41 patients had laboratory results of urea levels higher than normal (8-25 mg/100 ml) and 34 patients (83%) had normal creatinine levels (0.6 to 1.2 mg/ 100 ml). The results of test matlab found that opacity kidney picture nephrogram phase in patients with urea level higher than normal had a decrease of Pixel value (65220 pix.value) when compared to patients with normal urea levels (65231 pix. values ). Patients with creatinine above 1.2 mg/ 100 ml had a higher Pixel value (65239 pix.value), comparing to patients with normal creatinine levels (65219 pix.value). Further research is expected to gain more understanding. It is recommended that patients' levels of urea and creatinine should be checked in 48-72 hours before the time of IVP test, and interventions to decrease these levels should be implemented before conducting the test.

Abstract

PSN- DBD is the method to reduce mosquito's larva breeding sources, which is a vital strategy for preventing Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). Active public participation is required to implement PSN- DBD. Community is not only regarded as an object, but also as the subject or perpetrator. The main targets of the PSN - DBD is all families; communities; schools; and public places, including industrial areas. These targets are expected to perform PSN - DBD by eliminating mosquito breeding places and maintaining healthy environment in their homes and respective communities on an ongoing basis. The purpose of this study was to determine container index and describe the implementation of PSN - DBD on elementary environments in Purwokerto. The descriptive method was used to survey eight elementary schools in Eastern, Western, Norhtern, and Southern districts of Purwokerto. The study was conducted by counting the larvae of Aedes sp to identify container index in tubs, water containers and containers of water for ritual wash. Findings revealed container index of 25 % at SDN 1 Bantarsoka and SDN 1 Karang Klesem, while container index of other elementary schools was 0%. PSN - DBD had been implemented in all elementary, except at SDN 1 Bantarsoka and SDN 1 Karang Klesem. Efforts to clean the tubs and drainage systems had not been carried out regularly for at least once a week. The schools should pay an active role in blocking the chains of the disease's transmission through PSN-3M activities, which included cleaning water containers and drainage systems, burying ground surface/ destroying potential mosquito breeding sites, and closing the water reservoirs. In addition, schools should always maintain good environmental school hygiene.

Abstract

Being older is the growth process; healthy ageing requires health promoting behaviors,especially having good hygiene and healthy lifestyle. An audio-visual media aid with video cassette is one of the media in health promotion that can be used to provide knowledge to the older people. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of media AVA (video Cassette) use in health promotion to the level of knowledge related to good hygiene and healthy lifestyle. This study was a quasiexperimentalresearch with a pre-test and post test with control group design. The design was chosen to measure the difference between before and after the intervention using a control group. The intervention group received health education with AVA media to increase knowledge of good hygiene and healthy lifestyle, whereas the control group received usual health education. A total of 25 older people participated in this study. The results of study showed that after receiving health education with AVAmedia, the intervention group had a significant higher level of knowledge related to good hygiene and healthy lifestyle than the control group (p=0.03). In addition, the level of knowledge related to good hygiene and healthy lifestyle of the intervention group after receiving health education with AVA media also significant higher than that before intervention (p=0.000). Therefore, AVA media can be used as media of health education for the older people to improve knowledge about the clean and healthy lifestyle in the community.
