AbstrakEscherichia coli O157:H7 adalah penyebab penting foodborne disease di banyak negara. Infeksi pada manusia oleh bakteri Escherichia coli O157:H7 sering dihubungkan dengan konsumsi daging sapi yang kurang matang dan dapat menyebabkan diare berdarah, nekrosis jaringan usus, hemorraghic colitis (HC) dan hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Tujuan penelitian ini ialah mengidentifikasi bakteri Escherichia coli O157:H7 dalam daging sapi yang dipotong di RPH Lubuk Buaya. Penelitian deskriptif ini telah dilaksanakan dari Januari 2012 sampai Juni 2012. Untuk mengidentifikasi bakteri Escherichia coli O157:H7 digunakan medium CHROMagar O157. Tujuh dari sepuluh sampel yang diteliti menunjukkan kontaminasi bakteri Escherichia coli O157:H7. Disarankan pada masyarakat untuk memakan daging yang telah dimasak sampai benar-benar matang.Kata kunci: Escherichia coli O157:H7, daging sapi, rumah potong hewan AbstractEscherichia coli O157:H7 is an important cause of foodborne disease in many countries. Human infection by Escherichia coli O157:H7 is frequently associated with consumption of undercooked beef. This infection can cause bloody diarrhea, bowel necrosis, hemorraghic colitis (HC), and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The objective of this study was to identify Escherichia coli O157:H7 in beef cattle at Lubuk Buaya slaughter house. This descriptive study was conducted at Lubuk Buaya slaughter house. For identification of Escherichia coli O157:H7, samples were plated onto CHROMagar O157. Seven of ten samples were positively contaminated by Escherichia coli O157:H7. This research suggests to all community only to eat well-cooked meat. Keywords: Escherichia coli O157:H7, beef cattle, slaughter house
Background: Parathyroid hormone is known as one of the main uremic toxicants, which, if the amount increases in plasma, will affect motor conduction in patients with chronic kidney disease. This study aims to determine the relationship between Parathyroid hormone levels with uremic neuropathy in patients with chronic kidney disease. Methods: This study was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach, where as many as 42 subjects participated in this study. Data analysis was performed using SPSS using univariate and bivariate, with p<0.05. Results: There was a difference in the average thyroid hormone levels in neuropathy and without neuropathy, but statistically, it was not different p>0.05. Conclusion: There is no relationship between parathyroid hormone and uremic neuropathy in patients with chronic kidney disease.
<p>Duplex Carotid Ultrasonography is non invasive and friendly examination, used to observe carotid artery. About 20-30% from total stroke cases, caused by extracranial carotid artery abnormalities. Atherosclerosis plaque at carotid artery is suspected as the etiology for more than 80% cerebral thromboembolism. <strong>Aim</strong> : to find out ultrasonography image at carotid artery plaque. <strong>Method</strong> : the method of this study is literature review towards experimental articles which were published internationally at Pubmed / Medline database from 1977 – 2015. The literature study is arranged based on Walker and Avant guideline, which is consist of : a) conceptual comprehension; b) aim or role identification; c) concept identification and the relation with role and aim.<strong> Result</strong> : carotid artery ultrasonography examination covers common carotid artery, proximal internal and external carotid artery analysis. Parts to notice are artery diameter, carotid bulbous, intimal medial thickness, flow velocity, type of wave, present of plaque, also artery abnormalities, such as dysplasia, coiling, kinking, <em>and tortuosity. <strong>Conclusion : </strong>atherosclerosis plaque imaging with conventional</em> <em>ultrasonography is a relative easy, affordable and non invasive technique with specificity and sensitivity level equal with other imaging modalities. </em></p>
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.
