Correlation of fiber intakes with incidence of constipation in the elderly

Abstract

Constipation becomes one of the diseases that are often suffered by the elderly, many factors that affect constipation one of which is fiber intake. The goal of the study was to find out the relationship of fiber intake with the incidence of constipation in the elderly (elderly). The research is conducted with a cross-sectional approach. The number of samples in the study as many as 65 elderly, sampling using purposive sampling techniques. The majority of research results obtained fiber intake of fewer than 50 people (76.9%), constipation as many as 34 people (52.3%), adequate fiber intake as many as 15 people (23.1%), and not constipation as many as 31 people (47.7%). The chi-square test result was p-value 0.010 (? = <0.05), suggesting there was a meaningful relationship between fiber intake and constipation events. The conclusion of a study of less fiber intake can result in constipation in the elderly. The implications of the research are shown so that the elderly can maintain fiber intake patterns and avoid the occurrence of constipation.

Molecular study among burn patients infected with bacterial pseudomonas species

“…The results of PCR analysis to detected the presence gene of PelA gene (118bp) among of P. aeruginosa 9/10(90%) P.fluorescens 3/4(75%) . P.putadia 3/4(75%),isolates revealed that 15/18 (83.33%) of isolates were contain pelA gene (figure [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Pseudomonas spp can use either psl or pel as the primary biofilm matrix polysaccharide (Overhage et al, 2005).…”

“…The skin is the first immune system and large organ of the body.One of the main functions of the skin is protection as it protects the body from external factors such as microbes, chemicals and temperature (Church et al, 2019) [5]The risk of burn injury are influenced by the types of burn, age of the patient, burn size, burn degree, and other chronic diseases [6]The skin contains gram positive bacteria located in hair follicles and sweat glands as normal flora, the intestine have gram negative bacteria that are normal flora no threat, however in immunosuppression burn patients they spread throughout the body by way of blood stream they can cause infection (Murray and Hospenthal, 2009) [7] Pseudomonas species is a non-spore forming, non-fermentative Gram negative bacilli belong to the pseudomonadaceae family. and most of the cells possess a single polar flagellum (Kiska and Gilligan,1999) [8].The substrates that are known to support its growth ,type IV pili and flagella also have some function in biofilm formationas Type IV pili and flagella negative mutants have different biofilm architecture compared to wild type bacteria (Vasil and Iglewesk, 2008) [9] The alginate in biofilm formation protects from the act of phagocytosis by macrophages, but was not directly involved in attachment and formation of biofilm. Furthermore.…”

Clinical study and management of bladder calculus in patients presenting to VMKVMC hospital

“…4 The urinary calculi are formed by 70% of calcium, 20% of uric acid, 10% of magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite) and about <1% of cystine. 5,6 Urine is a stable solution and any variation in the degree of saturation, of the urinary pH and of the concentration of crystallization inhibitors can alter the existing equilibrium and result in urolithiasis. 7 Considering this, we performed present study to assess clinical findings and management of bladder calculus in patients visiting VMKVMC hospital.…”

Effect of prolonged use of hormonal contraception on ovarian reserve

“…Appearance of AMH is highest during folliculogenesis's recruitment stage, in the preantral and small antral follicles (10). This production decreases as follicles increase and enter selection stage, this results in a rise in FSH expression (11).…”
