Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is the causative agent of caseous lymphadenitis (CLA), a common disease in small ruminant populations across the globe. The following report describes two cases of a 3 year old Boer cross does showing large mass beneath the jaw, on the ventral side of the mandible with strong pain reaction to touch of the affected region. The consistency of the mass was non-movable, solid and hard on deep palpation. The mass was lanced and purulent discharges were evacuated. Phenotypic and biochemical identification methods allocated the isolates in C. pseudotuberculosis biovar ovis. The vast majority of the isolates was able to produce phospholipase D and was susceptible to most of the antimicrobial compounds tested. Furthermore, the isolates were compared with C. pseudotuberculosis isolated from other states with different geographical locations and showed high similarity index, suggesting the prevalence of dominant clones and a potential dissemination across the country.
Insulin resistance is a condition in which target organs fail to respond normally to insulin. Cassava contains 9,69 percent starch that resist to digestive enzyme in intestine and has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity and enhance β cell function. The aim of this study was to analyze the difference effect of native cassava starch and cassava resistant starch consumption on insulin resistance and β cell function indexes. This study was quasy experimental research with post-test only control group design using 16 male wistar strain rats divided into four groups: K1 (normal rats with standard diet), K2 (diabetic rats with standard diet), P1 (diabetic rats with native cassava starch diet) and P2 (diabetic rats with cassava resistant starch diet). The rats were fed with high fat diet and injected with low-dose streptozotocin to mimic the patogenesis of type 2 diabetes. The rats were then fed with assigned diet for 28 days. The data collection was obtained from laboratory examination of fasting plasma glucose and fasting plasma insulin to determine HOMA-IR and HOMA-B indexes. Post Hoc analysis showed no difference in both indexes between native cassava starch and cassava resistant starch fed groups (p>0,05).
This clinical case reports the diagnosis of left temporomandibular joint luxation in a Boer goat and the justification of culling due to welfare, practicality and cost efficient in the small ruminant industry. A one year-old female Boer goat weighing 15.5kg was presented with primary complaint of inappetance and losing weight. The most prominent abnormality observed was displacement of mandible to the right side. The goat was unable to open the jaw. The lower incisor teeth were also found to be misaligned. For the diagnostic work-up, the skull was radiographed in dorsoventral, left lateral and right lateral oblique views. The radiograph findings revealed loss of delineation of the normal caudal left mandible in dorsoventral and right lateral oblique views. Based on the physical examinations and x-ray findings, the goat was diagnosed to have luxation of left temporomandibular joint. Due to the poor growth performance of this goat, the farmer was advised to cull this animal.
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a condition in which both insulin secretion and insulin sentivity disturbed. One of therapeutic approach of T2DM is through diet modification using resistant starch (RS) that has proven controlling both postprandial and fasting blood glucose. Cassava starch has 28,57% amylose and 51,24% amylopectin that can be increased through autoclaving-cooling process. Therefore, it can resist the digestion proess by amylose enzyme. The aim was to describe the effect of type 3 resistant starch cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) on fasting blood glucose (FBG) in Wistar diabetic rat models. This study was quasy experimental post-test only control group design using 16 Wistar rats divided into 4 groups, KN (normal), K- (DM), P1 (DM + cassava starch diet), and P2 (DM + type 3 RS cassava diet). High fat diet (HFD) and low dose streptozotocin (STZ) used as diabetic agents. Rats fed cassava starch or type 3 RS cassava diet for 28 days. GOD-PAP method used to measure the FBG level. The data analyzed using One Way ANOVA test with p>0,05 as significant value. The result shows no significant differences within experimental groups.

Jember Regency is one of the agro-industrial areas in Indonesia with a variety of activities that can produce noise including milling industry. Exposure to noise that is too strong or too long will damage the auditory nerve. The type of material being grounded determines the amount of noise produced so that the potential for hearing nerve damage also varies. This study aims to determine the level of noise produced by the milling industry and analyze the potential for hearing nerve damage in milling workers in Jember Regency. This type of research is observational analytic with cross-sectional approach. This research was conducted by measuring noise in several grinding locations in Jember that were randomly determined. Types of careful milling is grinding meat, coffee, rice, sticky rice and coconut. In addition to measuring the noise level, a short interview was also conducted with the mill workers regarding how long they worked at the mill every day. The measurement results are then analyzed descriptively and compared with standards set by the government and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). In this study it was found that the grinding of meat raw materials produced an average noise level of 88.5 db, coffee of 88.5 db, rice of 88.9 db, sticky rice of 87.3 db and coconut of 80.7 db. The duration of exposure to noise in milling meat, coffee, rice and sticky rice ranges from 9-12 hours a day. While the duration of noise exposure to coconut milling workers ranged from 6-9 hours. Therefore it can be concluded that milling meat, coffee, rice and sticky rice has the potential to cause hearing loss for workers. Keywords: agroindustry, hearing loss, noisy, milling
Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia is still high. The maternal mortality rate continues to rise due to hypertension, one of which is caused by pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. Many factors cause preeclampsia, including advanced maternal age. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of advanced maternal age during pregnancy with severe preeclampsia and eclampsia in RSD dr. Soebandi Jember. This study used cross sectional approach using 264 samples were divided into two groups, there are pregnant women aged 20-34 years and >34 years. The results of data analysis using Chi Square for severe preeclampsia and obtained p = 0.015 and OR = 2.494, which means there is a significant difference in comparison severe preeclampsia between gestational age of 20-34 years and >34 years. At the age of 20-34 years from 216 samples found 28 people suffering from severe preeclampsia (12.9%). Whereas at the age of mother> 34 years of 48 people found 13 people (27.1%) suffered severe preeclampsia Results of data analysis obtained eclampsia using Fisher and p = 0.554, which means there are no significant differences in comparison eclampsia between gestational age of 20-34 years and >34 years. At the age of 20-34 years from 216 samples found 3 people suffering from eclampsia (1.38%). While at mother age> 34 years from 48 people found 1 person (2.08%) suffered eclampsia.
Streptococcus pyogenes is a Gram positive bacteria that commonly cause disease in human. If not treated immediately, this bacteria can cause serious complication such as reumatic fever that causing heart valve tissue damage. Penicilin, drug of choice to eradicate S. pyogenes, oftenly cause various side effects such as anaphylaxis. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Mirabilis jalapa leaf ethanolic extract against S. pyogenes growth using in vitro techniques. The study design was a quasi experimental design. S. pyogenes culture as the study subject were divided into positive control group (penicilin V 100 IU), negative control group (NaCMC 0,5%), and eight treatment groups that were given with M. jalapa leaf ethanolic extract as much as 0,1 mg/ml, 1 mg/ml, 5 mg/ml, 10 mg/ml, 20 mg/ml, 30 mg/ml, 40mg/ml, and 50 mg/ml. After 24 hours incubation periods, the inhibition zone were found in all treatment group except in concentration 0,1 mg/ml. This study showed that M. jalapa leaf ethanolic extract could inhibit the growth of S. pyogenes. There was significant correlation between the concentration of M. jalapa leaf ethanolic extract and the diameter of inhibition zone (p=0,00), the higher concentration of M. jalapa leaf extract, the larger diameter of inhibition zone of S. pyogenes. Keywords: Mirabilis jalapa, leaf extract, antimicrobial activity
