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: Terapi Pengobatan Pankreatitis pada Kucing  dan Anjing di Rumah Sakit Hewan Gasing Selangor, Malaysia
Abstrak: Inflammation of the pancreas or widely known as pancreatitis, is commonly seen in dogs and cats in the veterinary field. This study aims to understand and gain knowledge on the usage of therapeutic drugs in pancreatitis treatment of cats and dogs at Gasing Veterinary Hospital (GVH) in 2019. GVH received a total of 125 patients diagnosed with pancreatitis in the year 2019. Types of drugs that were used in treating pancreatitis are fluid therapy, antibiotics, analgesics, antacids, and antiemetics. Fluid therapy and analgesic/ Nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were the highest used treatment throughout the year with a percentage of 24% each. Fluid therapy that was administered was the Hartmann’s solution (IV). Antacids were the second highest used with a percentage of 23%. This is followed by antibiotics 18% and antiemetics at 11%. The commonly used antibiotic was Ceftriaxone combined with Metronidazole whereas analgesic, antacid, antiemetic were Meloxicam, Ranitidine, and Maropitant Citrate, respectively. It can be concluded that fluid therapy has been the most administered treatment for pancreatitis in GVH year 2019., Inflamasi pankreas atau lebih dikenal dengan pankreatitis biasa terlihat pada kucing dan anjing di bidang kedokteran hewan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan menambah pengetahuan tentang penggunaan obat terapeutik dalam pengobatan pankreatitis pada kucing dan anjing di Rumah Sakit Hewan Gasing (GVH) pada 2019. GVH menerima total 125 pasien yang didiagnosa pankreatitis pada tahun 2019. Jenis-jenis obat yang digunakan untuk mengobati pankreatitis adalah terapi cairan, antibiotik, analgesik, antasida, dan antiemetik. Terapi cairan dan analgesik/obat anti inflamasi nonsteroid (NSAID) merupakan pengobatan terbanyak yang digunakan dengan persentase masing-masing 24%. Terapi cairan yang diberikan adalah larutan Hartmann (IV). Ini diikuti dengan antasida 23%, antibiotik 18% dan antiemetik pada 11%. Antibiotik yang digunakan adalah Ceftriaxone dikombinasikan dengan Metronidazol sedangkan analgesik, antasida, antiemetik adalah Meloxicam, Ranitidine, dan Maropitant Sitrat. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa terapi cairan merupakan pengobatan pankreatitis yang paling banyak diberikan pada GVH tahun 2019.

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.
