Tc generator Neutron activated Mo ZBM 99mTc Molybdenum produced from fission of U-235 is the most desirable precursor for 99 Mo/ 99m Tc generator system as it is non-carrier added and has high specific activity. However, in the last decade there has been short supply of Tc required for medical purposes.
High blood pressure associated with a reduction of cognitive function in young adults and older age. One of cognitiveimpairment examination is Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The aim of this study is to determine the correlationbetween impaired cognitive function with hypertension by using MoCA–INA in the elderly people at Tresna WerdhaKhusnul Khotimah nursing home Pekanbaru. This research obtained the incidence of impaired cognitive function inelderly people at Tresna Werdha Khusnul Khotimah nursing home Pekanbaru as many as 28 subjects (90.3%).Hypertension in the elderly at Tresna Werdha Khusnul Khotimah nursing home Pekanbaru were 23 subjects consistof 6 subjects (19.35%) with controlled hypertension and 17 subjects (54.84%) with uncontrolled hypertension. Theresults of statistical test by using Fisher test obtained p value as big as 1.000 (p>0.05). This shows there is nosignificant correlation between impaired cognitive function with hypertension in the elderly people at Tresna WerdhaKhusnul Khotimah nursing home Pekanbaru.
The prevalence of antibodies against spotted fever group rickettsia (SFGR), murine typhus and Q fever were investigated in wild rats captured in Indonesia. Sera of 327 rats were collected from Jakarta and Boyolali on Java Island. The prevalences of antibodies against SFGR and murine typhus were 128 (39.1%) and 48 (14.7%), respectively. Antibodies against Q fever were not detected in these serum samples. Antibodies against SFGR were found in all species of rats (20.8-51.9%). The antibody positive rate against murine typhus in Rattus norvegicus (38.0%) was significantly higher than that in other rat species (0-4.8%, p<0.01). The antibody positive rates against SFGR and murine typhus in rats captured in Jakarta were significantly higher than those in rats captured in Boyolali (p<0.01). In this survey, all species of rats had antibodies against SFGR, indicating that the 4 species of tested rats (R. norvegicus, R. rattus, R. exulans, R. tiomanicus) were infected with SFGR and that SFGR may infest the whole of Java Island. Most of the rats that were antibody-positive against murine typhus were captured in Jakarta. Therefore, R. norvegicus and R. rattus are likely to be important hosts of murine typhus in Jakarta. The antibody-positive rates against SFGR and murine typhus in rats captured in the dry season were significantly higher than those in rats captured in the rainy season. This may coincide with the active periods of ticks and fleas in Indonesia.
Pedikulosis kapitis merupakan penyakit parasitik yang masih sering terjadi dan terabaikan. Gejala klinis dari penyakit ini berupa gatal di kepala yang dapat mengganggu aktivitas sehari-hari. Panti Asuhan merupakan tempat yang berisiko untuk terjadinya infestasi parasit tersebut. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui angka kejadian infestasi Pediculus humanus capitis, melakukan pendidikan kesehatan berupa penyuluhan dan pelatihan untuk mencegah penyakit tersebut serta melakukan penatalaksanaan pada anak yang terinfestasi dengan kutu kepala. Kegiatan ini dilakukan di Panti Asuhan Desa Pandau Jaya, Kecamatan Siak Hulu Kabupaten Kampar. Khalayak sasaran adalah semua anak-anak dan pengurus panti yang berjumlah 60 orang dan sasaran khusus yaitu anak-anak panti yang berjumlah 54 orang. Terdapat 22 (40,7%) anak yang terinfestasi Pediculus humanus capitis. Anak-anak yang terinfestasi ditatalaksana dengan permethrin 1% yang diberikan melalui kakak/ibu asuh. Selain itu juga diberikan sisir serit, satu anak satu sisir serit. Setelah dilakukan edukasi dan pelatihan, anak-anak serta pengurus panti diharapkan dapat menerapkan ilmu yang didapat untuk memberantas penyakit tersebut.
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.
