Nosocomial infections are a major health problem in ABSTRAKInfeksi nosokomial merupakan masalah kesehatan utama di Indonesia, hal ini terutama disebabkan adanya resistensi terhadap antibiotik. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, maka upaya pencarian sumber antimikroba baru berbasis tumbuhan obat perlu dilakukan. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menguji potensi ekstrak daun Caesalpinia sumatrana Roxb. yang secara tradisional digunakan etnis Dayak sebagai obat luka dan sakit kulit. Analisis bioautografi ekstrak tumbuhan dilakukan dengan kromatografi lapis tipis (KLT), terhadap Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus dan Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Hasil penelitian pada ekstrak C. sumatrana ditemukan golongan senyawa mengandung gula memiliki potensi aktivitas antimikroba terhadap keempat bakteri; senyawa golongan alkaloid memiliki potensi aktivitas antimikroba terhadap S. aureus dan MRSA; senyawa golongan terpensteroid memiliki potensi aktivitas antimikroba terhadap P. mirabilis, S. aureus dan MRSA; dan senyawa golongan flavonoid memiliki potensi aktivitas anti mikroba terhadap S. aureus. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah hasil metabolit sekunder ekstrak daun C. sumatrana dapat menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri penyebab infeksi nosokomial.
Introduction: The 2019 Coronavirus Diseases (COVID-19) continues to be a severe public health issue throughout the world. Disease transmission channels exist across all modes of transportation, including land, air, and water. The presence of this disease has been demonstrated by a study conducted in South Korea, which discovered that 90% of ship passengers have also been tested with SARS-CoV-2 virus. Case: At the port of Samarinda, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing was performed on 20 Vietnamese coal carrier vessel crew members. According to the findings obtained from the RT-PCR test, every single member of the team had been infected with the virus. Since they exhibited symptoms of an infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus (such as coughing, fever, and shortness of breath), a total of 6 members had to be taken to the hospital. According to the results of genomic sequencing, the crew members were found to be infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus and variant of concern (VOC) of Delta AY.57, Vietnam lineage. Conclusion: COVID-19 can be transmitted via public transportation, including land, air, and sea travel. Controlling the spread of the virus requires RT-PCR testing at terminals, stations, and ports. SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant is still dominating Southeast Asia region, particulary Delta VOC AY.57.
The volume of internal organs, including pancreas, show potential health problems. Several medical conditions are associated with the volume of the pancreas. The study aimed to determine the pancreatic volumes using a computed tomography (CT) scan in normal Indonesian adults and to determine whether the age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) influence the measurement of pancreatic volumes. The study was conducted by 119 people aged between 20-77 years old. Pancreatic volume measurement was performed using the summation of area technique. Statistical analyzes used independent t-test and Pearson correlation test. The study showed a significant difference of pancreatic volumes between normoweight and overweight individuals with p=0.041 (p<0.05). The results showed a significant difference of pancreatic volumes between male and female with p=0.020 (p<0.05). The results showed a significant correlation between pancreatic volumes and age p=0.004 (p<0.05). These findings suggest that the change in pancreas volume with age, sex, and BMI is comparable among different ethnicities, which is also in line with other studies.
Distal Radius Fractures are the most common fractures in the world. 17.5% of fractures are categorized as distal radius fractures. Distal radius fractures can occur in both young age and old age. Distal radius fractures mostly occur in young adult age group due to high-energy trauma, and in senior age group due to low-energy trauma and osteoporosis. This research aims to capture the overview of distal radius fracture characteristics at RSUD (Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah – Regional Public Hospital) Abdul Wahab Sjahranie Samarinda. The data in this research are secondary data, gathered from medical records of patients. This research was performed in February 2021. This research is a Descriptive Retrospective study. 146 patients diagnosed with distal radius fractures from January 2017 – December 2019 were selected as samples, using Total Sampling method. The result showed that most cases of distal radius fractures occurred in 10-19 years age group (29 patients, 19.9%), male (87 patients, 59.6%), students (47 patients, 34.2%). Furthermore, the most common type of fractures found was closed fracture type (137 patients, 93.8%), the most common clinical fracture found was unidentified fracture (65 patients, 44.5%), and the most common cause of fractures was from trauma (90 patients, 61.6%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
