Judul: Prevalensi Dermatomikosis pada Anjing dan Kucing di Ting & Lu Veterinary Center, Kuching
Abstrak: Dermatomycosis is a skin infection caused by dermatophytes and other opportunistic fungi on pet animals. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of cats and dogs that were diagnosed with some form of dermatomycosis in Ting and Lu Veterinary Center from November 2020 to January 2021. Signalment and treatment done were taken from the medical records. Treatments for the infection are usually antifungal cream, medicated shampoo and antibiotics for secondary infections. The prevalence of dermatomycosis cases is dependent on several variables such as the humidity, lifestyle of the animal, hair length and the variability of the different cat and dog breeds in the area. Cats at their prime age (3 to 6 years) were most commonly diagnosed at 60%, while dogs in their adult age (2 to 6 years) were most commonly diagnosed at 61.11%. The most predisposed breed for this study is domestic short-haired cats at 60% and local dogs at 37.84%. The data collected also shows that dermatophytes affect 100% of the cats that were affected with dermatomycosis during the study while in dogs it only affects 16.22% of the cases with the other 83.78% are Malassezia infection., Dermatomikosis adalah infeksi kulit yang disebabkan oleh dermatofita dan jamur oportunistik lainnya pada hewan peliharaan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui prevalensi kucing dan anjing yang diteliti dengan beberapa bentuk dermatomikosis di Ting and Lu Veterinary Center dari November 2020 hingga Januari 2021. Sinyal dan perawatan yang dilakukan diambil dari rekam medis. Perawatan untuk infeksi biasanya krim antijamur, sampo obat dan antibiotik untuk infeksi sekunder. Prevalensi kasus dermatomikosis bergantung pada beberapa variabel seperti kelembaban, gaya hidup hewan, kepanjangan rambut dan ras kucing dan anjing yang berbeda di daerah tersebut. Kucing pada usia prima (3 hingga 6 tahun) paling sering didiagnosis dengan dermatomikosis pada 60%, sedangkan anjing pada usia dewasa (2 hingga 6 tahun) paling sering didiagnosis pada 61,11%. Ras yang paling cenderung untuk penelitian ini adalah kucing peliharaan bulu pendek sebesar 60% dan anjing lokal sebesar 37,84%. Data yang terkumpul juga menunjukkan bahwa dermatofita menyerang 100% kucing yang terkena dermatomikosis pada durasi studi sedangkan pada anjing hanya menyerang 16,22% kasus dengan 83,78% lainnya merupakan infeksi Malassezia

Judul: Parasitic Case in Dogs and Cats at Animal Hospital of West Sumatra
Abstrak: Anjing dan kucing merupakan hewan domestikasi yang paling banyak dipelihara manusia. Salah satu kasus penyakit yang sering menyerang anjing dan kucing adalah kasus parasitik. Beberapa parasit memiliki potensi zoonosis, baik melalui kontak dengan hewan yang terinfeksi maupun melalui lingkungan yang terkontaminasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui keberagaman jenis, prevalensi, serta pemetaan penyebaran wilayah infestasi ektoparasit dan endoparasit pada anjing dan kucing yang tercatat di Rumah Sakit Hewan Sumatera Barat. Seluruh data diperoleh dari rekam medik pasien anjing dan kucing di Rumah Sakit Hewan Sumatera Barat berdasarkan pemeriksaan klinis dan pemeriksaan laboratorium sejak November 2018 sampai Oktober 2020 yang terdiri atas 1275 pasien anjing dan 13.103 pasien kucing. Hasil penelitian menunjukan jumlah kasus parasit yang ditemukan pada anjing sebanyak 157 dan kucing sebanyak 1704. Kasus parasitik disebabkan ektoparasit dan endoparasit. Prevalensi infeksi ektoparasit lebih tinggi daripada infeksi endoparasit. Kejadian helmintiasis lebih besar dibandingkan penyakit yang disebabkan protozoa. Pada kucing ditemukan ektoparasit yang menginfestasi terbanyak adalah Otodectes cynotis dan Sarcoptes scabiei, sedangkan pada anjing adalah Demodex sp. Sebaran infestasi ektoparasit dan infeksi endoparasit baik pada pasien kucing maupun anjing di wilayah Kota Padang tertinggi berada di Kecamatan Padang Timur., Dogs and cats are domestic animals that are mostly kept by humans being. One of the disease cases that often attack dogs and cats is parasitic cases. Some parasites have zoonotic potential, either through contact with infected animals or contaminated environments. This study aims to determine the diversity of species, prevalence, and distribution of ectoparasite and endoparasite infestation areas in dogs and cats recorded at the Animal Hospital of West Sumatra. All data were obtained from medical records of dog and cat patients at the Animal Hospital of West Sumatra based on clinical examination and laboratory examination from November 2018 until October 2020, consisting of 1275 dog and 13,103 cat. The results showed that there were 157 cases of parasites found in dogs and 1704 cats. Parasitic cases are caused by ectoparasites and endoparasites. Prevalence ectoparasites infection were higher than endoparasites infection. Helminthiasis incidence is greater than diseases caused by protozoa. In cats, it was found that the most infested ectoparasites by Otodectes cynotis and Sarcoptes scabiei. Whereas in dogs by Demodex sp. The distribution of ectoparasite and endoparasite infestations in both dogs and cats in Padang city is highest in East Padang District.

Judul: Approximation of the Median of Poisson Distribution Using the Relation of Poisson-Gamma Distribution
Abstrak: A major drawback of median is that median cannot usually be defined in closed form, even in the cases where their distribution functions are known. This study gives an approximation of the closed form for the median of the Poisson distribution by using the relation of Poisson-Gamma distribution. The approximation uses elementary techniques based on the monotonicity of certain sequences involving tail probabilities of the Poisson distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the mean absolute deviation 􀜧|􀜰􀰒 􀵆 􀜯􀝁􀝀􁈺􀜰􀰒􁈻| is also studied. The median is relevant because of the fact that it minimizes the mean absolute deviation of a Poisson random variable (􀜰􀰒􁈻 by considering median as central tendency.
