Judul: Studi Kasus Penanganan Gastroesophageal Intussusception Pada Kucing Dengan Teknik Endoskopi
Abstrak: Studi kasus ini bertujuan mengetahui dan mempelajari cara penanganan gastroesophageal intussusception (GEI) pada kucing dengan menggunakan teknik endoskopi. Studi kasus yang dilakukan meliputi anamnesa, sinyalemen, pemeriksaan fisik, plain radiografi, kontras radiografi serta endoskopi. Kucing pada studi kasus ini bernama Moly, berupa ras Persian jenis jantan, berumur 6 bulan dan berbobot badan sebanyak 1,8 kg. Berdasarkan keterangan dari pemilik (anamnesa), kucing mengalami muntah kronis, penurunan nafsu makan, achalasia serta depresi. Hasil pemeriksaan fisik menunjukkan dehidrasi, kekurusan serta distensi pada bagian abdomen. Berdasarkan hasil pemeriksaan radiografi, organ esofagus, faring dan lambung mengalamai perubahan ukuran dan bentuk yang membesar dengan letak dan posisi yang berubah. Organ lain pada daerah thoraks dan abdomen tidak mengalami kelainan. Endoskopi menunjukkan adanya obstruksi sebanyak 15 cm dari mulut kucing dengan adanya spinchter fundus yang mengalami intussusception ke esofagus. Kondisi rongga mulut kucing tidak ada kelainan tetapi adanya inflamasi pada faring dan esofagus (faringitis dan esofagitis). Berdasarkan hasil pemeriksaan endoskopi dan radiografi sebagai diagnostik penunjang, kucing kasus didiagnosa GEI. Teknik penanganan GEI dilakukan dengan pengambilan gas serta pendorongan spinchter fundus ke esofagus kaudal dengan menggunakan selang endoskop.

Abstrak: Endoscopy is a sensitive diagnostic technique to detect mucosal disorders in various organs of the body. The aim of this study was to determine the normal appearance of the larynx, esophagus, and proximal stomach of an Indonesian Domestic House Cat and its characteristic by using endoscopic examination. Acclimatization and physical examination was performed before endoscopic examination. The larynx had a pale, smooth, and glistening mucosa with a unique anatomical structure. It moved symmetric billaterally. The cervical esophagus was characterized by the appearance of tracheal impression and few of blood vessels on mucosa wall whereas the thoracal esophagus is characterized by impression of the aorta, herringbone structure, and many of blood vessels on mucosa wall. The abdominal esophagus could be found the beneath esophageal spinchter. The gastric mucosa was pink, smooth, glistening, and had many of longitudinal and tranversal folds. Result showed that the larynx, esophagus, and stomach were observed at the scope depth of 8 ± 0.7 cm, 9 ± 0.7 cm, and 27.2 ± 1.4 cm respectively. Mucosal surface characteristics of the larynx, esophagus, and proximal stomach can be observed by using endoscopy. Each organ is different from colour and anatomical structure.

Abstrak: Planetary Boundary Layer is the lowest part of the atmosphere directly affected by the earth’s surface and responds to surface forcings within a time period of hourly to daily. The thickness of boundary layer varies over space and time, ranging from hundreds of meters to a few kilometers. The objective of this study consist of the analysis of Boundary Layer based on diurnal and nocturnal vertical profiles of meteorological properties and identification of characteristics pertaining to tropical atmosphere (represented by Soekarno-Hatta (6.110S, 106.650E), Polonia (3.560N, 98.680E), and Da Nang (16.030N, 108.200E) stations) and subtropical atmosphere (represented by Perth (31.930S, 115.960E), Nanjing (32.000N, 118.800E), and Hakasskaja (43.780N, 87.620E) stations). Virtual potential temperature, specific humidity, wind speed and direction, atmospheric stability, and Bulk-Richardson number are used to estimate the boundary layer thickness. Vertical profile of the virtual potential temperature and specific humidity are used to determine the Mixed Layer heights during the day and Residual Layer heights during the night. On the other hand, the mean value of Turbulent Flow Thickness is derived from the vertical profile of the Bulk-Richardson number (RiB). Analytical results of this study revealed that Mixed Layer height in the tropical atmosphere varies in a range from 260 m to 1410 m, Residual Layer height varies in a range from 267 m to 925 m, whereas the Turbulent Flow Thickness variation is confined between 0 m to 335 m. In subtropical atmosphere Mixed Layer height varies in a range from 101 m to 1483 m, Residual Layer height varies in a range from 121 m to 1276 m, whereas the Turbulent Flow Thickness variation is confined between 0 m to 769 m. This study also revealed that, except during summer, Mixed Layer Heights in the tropics are normally higher than in the subtropics.
