Abstract

Abstract: Temporary Disposal Site (TDS) of Gadang Village Banjarmasin is one of the temporary landfills in Banjarmasin. The negative effects of waste can pollute the environment, including water and air. The purpose of this study was to identify airborne contaminant bacteria and fungi as well as the Most Probable Number (MPN) of Coliform value of piped water in the residential houses around Gadang TDS Banjarmasin. The research method is descriptive observational. The sample of this study were air and piped water. Air sampling is done by open plate and MPN Coliform sampling was obtained by purposive sampling method. The results of this study showed the air contaminant bacteria in the house were Staphylococcus aureus (55.56%) and Escherichia coli (44.44%) in the environment around the TDS all results were obtained with the same percentage. Aspergillus niger was dominantly found at a distance of 20-30 m and 40-50 m while Aspergillus flavus was mostly found at the distance around 30-40 m. MPN Coliform in piped water showed coliform bacteria contamination with MPN coliform index of 2.0-7.5/100ml water samples. In conclusion, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria is more common than Escherichia coli. Most fungi species found in this study was Aspergillus niger. In the piped water examination for all samples MPN Coliform was found in the low risk category. Keywords: Air contaminant bacteria, air contaminant fungi, piping water MPC coliform, Temporary Disposal Site

Abstract

Abstract: Post-operative infection is still one of the most common nosocomial diseases that can cause great losses because it will increase the length of stay, use of drugs, and reduce the quality of life of the patients. The risk will increase if the number of colonies is> 105 bacteria per gram of tissue. Various ways have been done to reduce the number of bacteria in the operation area, including the use of surgical gloves. This study analyzed the comparison of the level of bacterial colonies that grew on the surface of single, double, and orthopedic surgical gloves in closed fracture management for more than 2 hours at Hasan Sadikin Hospital. The statistical analysis was done with p-value = 0.011 (<0.05), which means a significant difference in the number of germ colonies that grow between single, double, and orthopedic gloves. Double gloves and orthopedic gloves have a better ability to reduce bacterial colony growth. Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in the number of bacterial colonies formed between double gloves and orthopedics. Perforation is a factor affecting the number of germ colonies that formed. The use of double gloves and orthopedic gloves in closed fracture surgery for more than 2 hours shows the number of bacterial colonies formed is less than single gloves. There was a significant difference in the rate of perforation between standard surgical gloves and orthopedic gloves. Keywords: Bacteria colony, Single glove, Double glove, Orthopaedic glove, Perforation

Abstract

Abstract: Akar kuning (Fibraurea tinctoria Lour.), an original plant from Kalimantan, is often used by the community as traditional medicine. Previous studies showed that akar kuning contains active compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and terpenoids that have antibacterial properties. This study aims to analyze the difference in antibacterial potency of the infusion of akar kuning against the growth of Shigella dysenteriae (S. dysenteriae) and Salmonella typhi (S. typhi) in vitro. This was a true experimental study with a post-test method only with control group design using the infusion of akar kuning with concentrations of 16%, 32%, and 64%, 5 µg ciprofloxacin as the positive control and aquadest as the negative control. The data were analyzed using the One-Way ANOVA test, LSD’s Post-hoc test, and independent T test with a 95% of confidence level. This study showed that the higher the concentration of the infusion of akar kuning, the larger the inhibition zone of the infusion at the concentration of 64% had a larger inhibition zone for S. typhi (16,32 mm) than S. dysenteriae (15,59 mm). However, there was no statistical difference in antibacterial potency of  the infusion of akar kuning against S. dysenteriae and S. typhi.  Keywords: antibacterial potential, infusion, akar kuning, Fibraurea tinctoria Lour., Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella typhi

Abstract

Abstract: Cataract is one of the leading treatable causes of visual impairment in children. Visual rehabilitation is crucial for the development of good visual function after cataract surgery in children. The research aimd to describe post-operative Predictive Refractive Error (PRE) in congenital and developmental cataracts in Cicendo National Eye Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018. This is a retrospective analytic observational study from medical records. We found 107 eyes of 62 children with congenital and developmental cataracts had had cataract surgery and primary implantation of Intraocular Lens (IOL) in Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Unit, Cicendo National Eye Hospital. The patients were divided into two groups, with axial length (AXL) of ≤ 24 mm and > 24 mm. The paired t-test was used to compare Predictive Error (PE) in SRK/T, SRK II, and Showa SRK formula. Mean age at surgery was 6.7 ± 4.0 years.  Ninety-five eyes had AXL ≤ 24 mm, and 12 eyes had AXL > 24 mm. Prediction Error from patients with AXL ≤ 24 mm was 0.29 D, and from patients with AXL > 24 mm was 2.40 D in SRK/T formula (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between PE and Absolute Predictive Error (APE) in SRK/T, SRK II, and Showa SRK in patients with AXL > 24 mm (P > 0.05). SRK/T is the most predictable formula in patients with AXL ≤ 24 mm. There is no significant difference in patients with AXL > 24 mm in all formulas. Keywords: congenital and developmental cataract, axial length, Prediction Error, intraocular lens

Abstract

Abstract: Amyand’s hernia is described in the inguinal hernia sac as being the presence of an appendix vermiformis. It is a rare condition the incidence is about 1 per cent of all inguinal hernias. It is often diagnosed incidentally during inguinal hernia surgery. The main treatment method of Amyand’s hernia is surgery. We report a case of 63 years old man who presented with right inguinal groin bulge for 1 month with the previous repaired right inguinal hernia 5 years ago. On clinical examination revealed a 6 cmx8 cm firm, nontender, irreponible mass in the right inguinal region. He was diagnosed as right sided irreponible inguinal hernia. He was undergoing the elective surgery. Intra-operative, the hernia sac was laterally found in the inferior epigastric vessels and separated from sperm cord to deep inguinal ring. The hernia sac was opened. A non-inflamed appendix was seen. Appendectomy was performed, and the hernia was repaired by Halsted’s repair. Amyand’s hernia is a rare condition. The correct diagnosis is usually made intraoperative.   Keywords: Amyand’s hernia, appendectomy, hernia repair, inguinal hernia.

Abstract

Abstract: The use of medicinal plants to maintain or overcome health problems has long been carried out by worldwide community. Along with the development of knowledge, data about the existence of undesirable effects or side effects associated with the use of medicinal plants that are not appropriate are obtained. This research is conducted to determine public knowledge about the safety several medicinal plants use. The study was conducted with a questionnaire technique in Lombok Praya, Indonesia. The results show that knowledge about the safety of the use of medicinal plants in breastfeeding mothers obtains the correct answer by 48%, knowledge about the parts of medicinal plants that are dangerous for consumption by 39% and knowledge about medicinal plants that can increase health risks by 21%. Whereas, the knowledges for the use of medicinal plants in pregnant women and the use of medicinal plants that are not right obtains very good results with correct answers of 79% and 81%. Based on further interviews, these good results are obtained because they are supported more by traditional use of the plant that has already existed in the area. Public understanding of the safety of some medicinal plants in Lombok Praya is still lacking. It is necessary to add knowledge about the use of medicinal plants that requires special attention, especially on plants that are often used by people in the area. Local health agencies need to disseminate information on the safety of medicinal plants that is wider and more sustainable. Keywords: Community, medicinal plant, safety, public understanding.

Abstract

Abstract: Adequate therapy is necessary to prevent further damage to the liver infected with Plasmodium sp. Areca catechu and curcumin have the potential for malaria therapy, and scientific evidence is required to examine such potential either alone or in combination. This experimental study used a posttest-only group design involving 24 male Swiss mice (Mus musculus) as the subjects divided into 6 groups (@4 mice). P. berghei was injected intraperitoneally in 5 groups, and different types of treatment (4 days, feeding tube) were administered to 4 groups (K1 = chloroquine, K3 = ethanol extract of Areca nuts + curcumin, K4 = ethanol extract of Areca nuts, K5 = curcumin). The doses were 0.012mg/kgBW of chloroquine, 150mg/kgBW of Areca nut ethanol extract, and 30mg/kgBW of curcumin. K2 was the unhealthy group (infected with P. berghei without therapy), while K6 was the normal/healthy group. Parasitemia was examined in 3 days after induction by P. berghei (inclusion criterion: parasitemia >5%, exclusion criterion: parasitemia >15%). The liver was embedded in paraffin blocks and stained with HE. Observations were made to identify the presence of necrosis, portal inflammation, and hemosiderin. The data of histopathological changes in the liver was expressed in percentages. The administration of Areca nut ethanol extract was able to provide better histopathological features than curcumin therapy alone, in combination, or chloroquine therapy (K4, no necrosis; mild portal inflammation = 50%, moderate = 25%; hemosiderin = 25%). Areca nut ethanol extract had yet to show histopathological features that resembled a healthy condition (K6 = normal inflammation, mild, moderate = 50%, 50%, 0%, respectively; hemosiderin = 0%). The ethanol extract of Areca nuts alone was shortly able to improve the histopathological features of P. berghei-induced liver damage in mice. Keywords: Areca nuts, Plasmodium berghei, histopathology of liver

Abstract

Abstract: Salmonella typhi is a gram-negative bacteria species that causes typhoid fever. Salmonella typhi is sensitive to antibiotics such as amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, and cotrimoxazole. However, there has been some increase in antibiotic resistance, so there is a need for new antibacterials that do not have a resistance effect to treat infection. Bligo fruit (Benincasa hispida (Thunb) Cogn) and bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) contain saponins, tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and triterpenoids which have antibacterial power. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the bligo fruit extract (Benincasa hispida (Thunb) Cogn) and bitter melon extract (Momordica charantia L.) on the minimum inhibition of Salmonella typhi bacteria. The method used is narrative literature review. The results of the journal study showed that the extract of bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) was more effective in inhibiting Salmonella typhi bacteria than the extract of bligo (Benincasa hispida (Thunb) Cogn) with a minimum inhibitory power at a concentration of 20%, namely 8.5 mm. Keywords: Bligo Fruit (Benincasa hispida (Thunb) Cogn), Bitter Melon (Momordica charantia L.), Salmonella typhi.
