BAE with PVA particles can transiently suppress ghrelin levels in embolized animals, but levels are not significantly different compared to controls. Stomach ulcerations were identified in 60% of the embolized animals.
Background: The use of MRI as a non-invasive diagnostic radiological examination modality is painless. However, patients may experience claustrophobia and anxiety. Sensory intervention is a method of providing sensory stimulation to an individual, which is expected to reduce the anxiety. Purpose: To determine the effect of the sensory intervention on the anxiety level of patients using an intervention scent by inhalation and intervention sound based on heart rate and MRI-AQ in patients with MRI lumbal examination. Method: 24 samples were divided into three groups: intervention scent, combination intervention scent-sound, and control, with eight samples each. Intervention scent is given using lavender essential oil as aromatherapy, drop three drops on the mask, then put the mask on for 5 minutes before the examination until the examination is completed. Intervention sound is given by playing music (nature-sound) during the examination. Result: Sensory intervention, specifically the use of combination intervention scent-sound, significantly reduces anxiety in patients during MRI lumbal examination significantly p = 0.004 (p<0.05). Conclusion: The use of a combination between lavender and nature-sound as media for sensory intervention has a positive effect on reducing anxiety during MRI lumbal examination based on heart rate. Due to the easy administration of this aromatherapy and the minimal risk for this treatment, it is recommended that it is applied to reduce anxiety during MRI.
Background: Non-enhanced head CT (NECT) was known as one of the modalities to assess subacute ischemic stroke. The values of window width (WW) and window level (WL) were influencing lesion conspicuity and diagnostic accuracy as well. The ability of physicians to detect parenchymal hypoattenuation depended on window width and window-level settings. Objective: To determine the best value of head NECT window width and window level in the subacute ischemic stroke. Material and method: Routine non-enhanced CT scanning was performed with the patient's head in a head holder with a 64 Slice MSCT Light speed (GE Medical Systems) in the hospital emergency department using the following non-helical scanning technique:120 kV, 625 mA, and 5-mm section thickness. Twenty six values of window width and window level of subacute ischemic stroke were made and assessed by 28 experienced radiologist. We found the best value of 35 WW 25 WL. This value was significantly better than brain window (p < 0.05). Conclusion: In summary, we have demonstrated that the detection of subacute ischemic stroke with non-enhanced head CT scanning was facilitated by window width and window-level settings. The 35 WW 25 WL setting was recommended to increase the diagnostic value of subacute stroke infarct.
The activity was carried out against the background of the high incidence of cancer according to the 2015 Ministry of Health Riskesdas data which puts breast cancer and uterine cancer as the highest cause of death in women. Various measures are taken by the government to reduce the incidence of cancer, among others, by empowering all community members. The objectives of the implementation of the PKM program are: a) Improving public knowledge, b) Improving the quality of human resources, c) Increasing community participation in development. By empowering the PKK to increase knowledge and skills regarding early detection of uterine cancer can increase life expectancy. The method of implementing the activity adopts the pattern of implementing action research covering four stages, namely: program planning, programimplementation, evaluation and monitoring. It is expected that with this activity program the incidence rate, cancer mortality and morbidity in women can be reduced to support the National Program launched by the Minister of Health in 2015.AbstrakKegiatan dilaksanakan dengan latar belakang tingginya angka kejadian kanker sesuai dengan data Riskesdas Kemenkes 2015 yang menempatkan kanker payudara dan kanker rahim menjadi penyebab kematian tertinggi pada perempuan. Berbagai langkah diupayakan pemerintah untuk mengurangi angka kejadian kanker antara lain dengan memberdayakan seluruh elemen masyarakat. Tujuan pelaksanaan program PKM ini adalah: a) Peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat, b) Peningkatan kualitas sumber daya manusia, c) Peningkatanpartisipasi masyarakat dalam pembangunan. Dengan pemberdayaan Ibu PKK untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan mengenai deteksi dini kanker rahim dapat meningkatkan angka harapan hidup. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan mengadopsi pola pelaksanaan penelitian tindakan meliputi empat tahap, yaitu: perencanaan program, pelaksanaan program, evaluasi dan monitoring. Diharapkan dengan program kegiatanini angka kejadian, mortalitas dan morbiditas kanker pada perempuan bisa diturunkan untuk mendukung Program Nasional yang dicanangkan oleh Menteri Kesehatan pada tahun 2015.
