Judul: Obat Terapeutik yang Digunakan dalam Pengobatan Pyometra pada Anjing dan Kucing di Rumah Sakit Hewan Gasing, Selangor, Malaysia
Abstrak: Pyometra is a condition where there is accumulation of purulent material in the uterus due to bacterial infection. The primary cause of pyometra is believed to be associated with hormonal imbalance and repeated stimulation of progesterone hormone. This study was conducted to determine the proportion of each therapeutic drug used in the pyometra treatment in dogs and cats at Gasing Veterinary Hospital in 2019. Secondary data were collected from the patient history record and were then analyzed. 95 dogs and 28 cats were diagnosed with pyometra, with most diagnosed in the age group of 5 to 10 years. Antibiotics were the most used drugs in the treatment of pyometra at Gasing Veterinary Hospital with a percentage of 44%, followed by analgesics (39%), others (12%) and supplements (5%). Ceftriaxone was the most frequently prescribed antibiotic in pyometra treatment, meloxicam was used the most as analgesics, and folic acid was the most used supplement. It was concluded that the administration of therapeutic drugs in pyometra treatment include antibiotics, analgesics, and supplements., Pyometra adalah suatu kondisi dimana terjadi penumpukan bahan purulen di uterus akibat infeksi bakteri. Penyebab utama pyometra diyakini terkait dengan ketidakseimbangan hormon dan stimulasi berulang hormon progesteron. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui proporsi masing-masing obat terapeutik yang digunakan dalam pengobatan pyometra pada anjing dan kucing di Rumah Sakit Hewan Gasing pada tahun 2019. Data sekunder dikumpulkan dari catatan riwayat pasien, kemudian dianalisis. 95 anjing dan 28 kucing telah didiagnosis dengan pyometra, dan sebagian besarnya didiagnosis pada kelompok usia 5 sampai 10 tahun. Antibiotik merupakan obat yang paling banyak digunakan dalam pengobatan pyometra di Rumah Sakit Hewan Gasing dengan persentase 44%, diikuti oleh analgesik (39%), lainnya (12%) dan suplemen (5%). Ceftriaxone adalah antibiotik yang paling sering diresepkan dalam pengobatan pyometra, meloxicam paling banyak digunakan sebagai analgesik, dan asam folat adalah suplemen yang paling banyak digunakan. Disimpulkan bahwa pemberian obat terapeutik pada pengobatan pyometra meliputi antibiotik, analgesik, dan suplemen.

Judul: Obat Terapeutik dalam Pengobatan Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) di Rumah Sakit Hewan Gasing, Malaysia
Abstrak: Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) is a broad term often used in describing any disorders affecting the lower urinary tract which includes the bladder and urethra. Although there are multiple causes of FLUTD, the common clinical signs seen are hematuria, stranguria, dysuria, pollakiuria, and periuria. The study aims to obtain and analyze secondary data of therapeutic drugs used in the treatment of FLUTD at Gasing Veterinary Hospital in the year 2019. The highest proportion of drugs used were antibiotics at 37%. Muscle relaxants were the second most administered drug at 34%, followed by anti-inflammatories at 26%. Other therapeutic substances which were administered in smaller proportions include anti-fibrinolytic agents (2%) and nutritional supplements (1%). It was concluded that, the types of drugs that were administered in FLUTD cases comprised of antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, anti-fibrinolytic agents, and nutritional supplements., Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) adalah istilah luas yang sering digunakan untuk gangguan pada saluran kemih dan uretra. Meskipun terdapat beberapa penyebab FLUTD, tanda klinis yang umum terlihat adalah hematuria, stranguria, disuria, pollakiuria, dan periuria. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan dan menganalisis data sekunder obat terapeutik yang digunakan dalam pengobatan FLUTD di Rumah Sakit Hewan Gasing tahun 2019. Obat yang paling banyak digunakan adalah antibiotik dengan proporsi 37%. Obat relaksan otot adalah obat kedua yang paling banyak diberikan dengan proporsi 34%, diikuti oleh obat antiinflamasi (26%). Zat terapeutik lain yang diberikan dalam proporsi yang lebih kecil termasuk agen antifibrinolitik (2%) dan suplemen nutrisi (1%). Kesimpulannya, jenis obat yang diberikan pada kasus FLUTD terdiri dari antibiotik, antiinflamasi, relaksan otot, agen antifibrinolitik, dan suplemen nutrisi.

Judul: Utilization of terra/MODIS L1B data for analysis of horizontal wind profile in the troposphere
Abstrak: This study was concerned with horizontal wind derived from data collected with the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board the NASA’s Earth Observation System (EOS)-Terra satellite. The aim of this study is to develop a method for the estimation of horizontal wind movement in the troposphere based on Navier-Stokes equation. The method was applied to a calibrated and geolocated Terra/MODIS L1B 1 km data set. The data inputs to estimate surface temperature are retrieved from TIR (Thermal Infrared) bands 31 (10.780 μm to 11.280 μm) and 32 (11.770 μm to 12.270 μm). The obtained surface temperatures were later used to approximate geopotential height on a constant-pressure surface by using the modified Poisson equation. The main assumptions used are the hydrostatic equilibrium, ideal gas law, constant lapse rate and constant acceleration of gravity. Based on the distribution of geopotential height, the pressure gradient force is measured by the gradient of geopotential on an isobaric coordinate to present the horizontal wind profile. For certain topographic areas especially in the mountain ranges, there was a disadvantage of using pressure as a vertical coordinate which lead to inaccuracy. In spite of that, Terra/MODIS L1B data with 1 km spatial resolution can be used to estimate the horizontal wind movement in the troposphere.
