Judul: Studi kasus patologi hernia diafragmatika pada Kucing
Abstrak: Seekor kucing ditemukan dalam keadaan yang kritis. Gejala klinis yang terlihat antara lain adanya perlukaan pada kulit, exophtalmus, anoreksia, kaheksia, dispnoe, anemia, konstipasi dan dehidrasi berat. Pengobatan telah dilakukan namun kucing gagal mengalami persembuhan. Radiografi menunjukkan garis diafragma tidak terlihat disertai adanya perpindahan organ abdomen ke dalam rongga thoraks. Pada pengamatan patologi anatomi terlihat bahwa diafragma mengalami kelainan. Secara umum lesio kongesti dan yang menyertainya ditemukan pada pengamatan histopatologi pada jantung, paru-paru, hati, ginjal, limpa, linfonodus, dan otak. Lesio pada beberapa organ tersebut muncul akibat perpindahan saluran pencernaan dan sebagian hati ke dalam rongga thoraks karena adanya tekanan negatif. Oleh sebab itu jantung dan paru-paru tidak dapat bekerja normal yang memicu kematian akibat gagal jantung kongestif.

Judul: Studi Kasus Perbaikan Traumatic Diaphragmatic Hernia pada Kucing di Pet First Veterinary Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Abstrak: Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is an injury to the thorax in which the forces applied to the diaphragm exceed the diaphragmatic holding strength, resulting in a defect that allows abdominal contents to protrude into the thoracic cavity. This case research aimed to investigate diaphragmatic hernia treatment and surgical repair. The patient is a 1-year old, female domestic short hair (DSH) cat, black-white hair with a body weight of 2.8 kg. Pet First Veterinary Center monitored clinic symptoms and diagnostic data before surgery. Patient state was closely checked. The loss of the ventral border of the diaphragm and the displacement of abdominal viscera within the thorax are the most prominent radiological features in patient with diaphragmatic hernias. Surgery was performed at Pet First Veterinary Centre to restore negative pressure in the thoracic cavity by thoracocentesis. Diaphragmatic hernia repair involved reconstructing the diaphragm to restore its original function. Intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) was performed in this surgery. The treatment with corrective surgery was recorded, followed by the recovery of the patient within one month of the surgery. This research demonstrated that diaphragmatic hernia repair was an effective method of treatment for diaphragmatic hernia to preserve pulmonary function., Hernia diafragma traumatis adalah cedera pada toraks akibat adanya gaya pada diafragma yang melebihi kekuatan diafragma untuk menahan tekanan. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui cara pengobatan dan teknik pembedahan kasus hernia diafragma traumatis pada kucing. Pasien adalah kucing domestic short hair (DSH) betina berumur 1 tahun berbulu hitam putih dengan berat badan 2,8 kg di Pet First Veterinary Center. Studi kasus dimulai dengan pemeriksaan fisik untuk melihat gejala klinik dan melihat data diagnostik sebelum operasi. Hilangnya batas ventral diafragma dan bergesernya organ abdomen ke rongga toraks menjadi gambaran radiologis yang terlihat pada pasien penderita hernia diafragmatika. Pembedahan dilakukan di Pet First Veterinary Center untuk memulihkan tekanan negatif di rongga toraks dengan thoracocentesis. Diaphragmatic hernia repair merupakan teknik pembedahan untuk mengembalikan fungsi diafragma. Intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) merupakan teknik ventilasi yang membantu pasien agar dapat bernapas optimal selama proses bedah berlangsung. Perawatan post-operasi berlangsung dicatat dalam sistem rekam medik digital dan pemulihan pasien terjadi dalam waktu satu bulan. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa diaphragmatic hernia repair adalah metode pengobatan yang efektif untuk kasus hernia diafragma traumatis sehingga dapat mempertahankan fungsi paru-paru.

Judul: Characteristics of Rotary-cut Veneer of Boiled Jabon and Sengon Logs.
Abstrak: Fast growing Jabon and Sengon are largely rotary-cut to produce veneer for plywood, com-ply and LVL. In order to provide better information on veneer production and utilization, the effects of wood juvenility and veneer thickness on lathe checks of Jabon and Sengon rotary-cut veneer were evaluated. Before peeling, jabon and sengon log were boiled at 50 and 75 oC for 4 and 8 hours, respectively. The boiled logs were peeled to produce veneer of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mm in thickness. Lathe checks of veneers were measured under an optical video microscope. The rotary-cut veneer was grouped and evaluated separately at every segmented of 1.0 cm width from bark to pith. Results showed that wood juvenility and veneer thickness had an important effect on lathe checks for the rotary-cut veneer. In general, the number of lathe check of the veneer increases with increasing veneer thickness and decrease from pith to bark. Boiling of logs before rotary-cutting could decrease the value of lathe check. The results indicated that boiling of logs at 75 oC for 4 and 8 hours could minimize the number of lathe checks in manufacturing of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mm rotary-cut veneer from juvenile jabon and sengon woods.
