The aim of this research was to study the effect of intensive and traditional farming on the chemical composition of whiteleg shrimp (Penaeusvannamei) during storage till up to 8 days. The study on intensive and traditional farming were done at MariorennuVillage, Gantarang Subdistrict and at Manjalling Village, Ujung Loe Subdistrict, respectively, Bulukumba Regency, as well as at the Research and Development Center of Fishery Products of Makassar, South Sulawesi, the Province of South Sulawesi. The research design was conducted by a randomized complete block design with a storage treatment of 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 days. The parameters studied are water content, ash, lipid, and protein content, as well as total volatile base (TVB), trimethylamine (TMA), pH, and free fatty acids (FFA). Whiteleg shrimps from intensive farming and traditional farming were stored in a coolbox containing with 2: 1 ratio of ice and shrimp, respectively. The addition of ice was carried out every day for 8 days storage, and chemical analysis was condcuted at intervals of 2 days. Chemical testings was carried out based on the SNI method. Samples were measured as much as 10-15g and then chemically tested reffer to the method in SNI. The results for both intensive and traditional farming of whiteleg shrimp showed that storage time had a significant influence on the following parameters i.e. TVB, pH, FFA, water content, and protein content. No significant effect was found for following parameters, namely TMA, ash and fat content.
Background : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity, mortality and disability worldwide and represents a huge economical burden for the healthcare system. By knowing the level of public understanding of this disease, we were able to find out what education could be given to increase understanding about COPD. The aim of this study was to determine the level of knowledge of the non-medical and medical personnel about COPD. Methods : This is descriptive research. The research was conducted cross-sectionally with 200 respondents consisting of 100 medical subjects and 100 non-medical subjects. This research was carried out in the RSSA environment in November 2021. The data collection technique is that respondents filled out a Google Form. Results : The total score of the six categories showed that 73.875% of the medical group and 47.17% of the non-medical group already understood COPD. In all categories, the results of the analysis showing statistical significance (p<0.001). Conclusion : Our study shows significant knowledge about all knowledge of COPD between the general public and medical personnel. Suggestion : socialization to the public about COPD and the importance of the community getting to know COPD in preventive and treatment measures.
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is still the leading cause of mortality and morbidity around the globe, particularly in underdeveloped nations. Indonesia is listed as the country with the second-largest TB burden in the world according to Global TB Report 2020. Only 10% of those infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) develop active TB and the great majority continues to stay latently infected, indicating that the host response to MTB may be genetically controlled at each stage. A growing number of studies have shown that numerous host genetic variables have a role in TB susceptibility. IL-6 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by monocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts that stimulates B and T lymphocytes while also controlling the immune response to TB. This study investigated the association of IL-6 rs1800796 gene polymorphism on susceptibility to pulmonary TB in drug-sensitive (DS) or drug-resistant (DR) patients. Methods: The case-control study involved 71 cases and 34 controls. Blood samples were taken from all study participants at Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital, Malang between August 2020 and February 2021. To determine SNPs, blood samples were used in a genotyping investigation using the PCR-Multiplex technique. Results: The genotype association of IL-6 rs1800796 (G/G, G/C, C/C) and allele frequency for patients and controls of IL-6 rs1800796 with susceptibility to pulmonary TB were insignificant (p > 0.05). Conclusion: This study found no evidence of association of IL-6 rs1800796 gene polymorphism with susceptibility to pulmonary TB.
Background: Although classified as a rare disease, the global burden of disease study reports showed that interstitial lung disease is ranked 40th in the diseases with high mortality, and its prevalence had increased by 86% since 1990. The most common interstitial lung disease”idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)”has low survival rates”2-3 years after diagnosis”and is irreversible. Establishing a definite diagnosis of IPF is very difficult because it needs a multidisciplinary approach, as an establishment based on the description of HRCT and lung biopsy is needed. The goal of therapy is to prevent the progression of fibrosis. Case: We report a case of an adult woman, 46 years old with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) with Probable Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) pattern at dr. Saiful Anwar Hospital. History taking, physical examination and laboratory and chest Xray examination of the patient found a suspicion of ILD. CT-scan showed fibrosis in both lungs, honeycomb appearance with pulmonary bronchiectasis traction, which fit the description of IPF, and thus suspended the diagnosis of ILD. VATS pulmonary biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of IPF. The patient experienced a decrease in clinical conditions, as her complaint was worsening in the last month, in accordance to the state of acute exacerbations. Conclusion: In this patient, the diagnosis of IPF with Probable UIP pattern was made through a multidisciplinary approach, including the pulmonology, radiology and anatomical pathology department.
