Judul: A Case Study of Hydroureter in a 5-year-old Female Shih Tzu
Abstrak: Hidroureter merupakan abnormalitas pada ureter yang dicirikan dengan dilatasi, elongasi, dan tortuous. Studi kasus ini bertujuan menjelaskan kasus hidroureter pada seekor anjing shih tzu betina umur 5 tahun di Rumah Sakit Hewan Pendidikan, Sekolah Kedokteran Hewan dan Biomedis, Institut Pertanian Bogor. Metode yang digunakan meliputi pemeriksaan fisik, pemeriksaan hematologi dan kimia darah, pencitraan radiografi, dan pencitraan ultrasonografi. Hasil pemeriksaan fisik tidak menunjukkan gejala yang mengarah pada kelainan sistem urinaria. Pemeriksaan hematologi dan kimia darah tidak menunjukkan perubahan terhadap nilai eritrosit, leukosit, ureum, dan kreatinin. Pencitraan radiografi abdomen menunjukkan adanya kelainan pada ureter berupa hidroureter dan ektopia ureter. Pencitraan ultrasonografi menunjukkan adanya kelainan pada saluran urinaria: pyelonephritis (ginjal kanan), nephrolithiasis (ginjal kiri), hidroureter (ureter kanan), cystitis dan kristaluria (vesica urinaria). Berdasarkan hasil diagnosis pencitraan, hewan didiagnosis hidroureter pada ureter kanan bersamaan dengan kelainan lain yang ditemukan pada ginjal dan vesica urinaria., Hydroureters are abnormalities in ureters that identified by dilatation, elongation, and tortuous. This case study aims to describe a hydroureter case in a 5-year-old female shih tzu in Veterinary Teaching Hospital, School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, IPB University. Diagnosis were conducted in this study includes physical and haematological examination, blood chemistry, radiographic and ultrasonography imaging. The results of physical examinations did not show any pathological findings that lead to abnormalities of the urinary system. Haematological and blood chemical examination did not indicate a change in erythrocyte, leukocyte, urea, and creatinine levels. Abdominal radiographic imaging showed the abnormalities of the ureter in the form of hydroureter along with ectopic ureter. Ultrasonography imaging showed abnormalities in the urinary tract: the right kidney shows signs of pyelonephritis, the left kidney shows signs of nephrolithiasis, the right ureter shows signs of hydroureter, vesica urinary shows signs of cystitis and crystalluria. Based on the results of the imaging diagnostic, animals were prominently diagnosed with hydroureter of right ureter along with another abnormalities found in the kidney and urinary bladder.

Judul: Kasus urolitiasis pada anjing dan kucing
Abstrak: Tujuan studi kasus ini adalah untuk mengetahui banyaknya kejadian kasus urolitiasis pada anjing dan kucing. Data kasus diperoleh melalui data rekam medis Rumah Sakit Hewan Jakarta, Rumah Sakit Hewan IPB, dan Klinik PDHB 24 jam drh. Cucu Kartini S., dkk pada tahun 2007-2008. Hasil studi menunjukkan kasus urolitiasis meningkat di tahun 2008. Kasus pada jantan lebih banyak daripada betina. Begitu pula kasus pada anjing lebih banyak daripada kucing. Kejadian urolitiasis pada anjing paling banyak didapatkan pada anjing berumur 7 tahun dan jenis batu yang didapatkan adalah kalsium oksalat 42%, struvite 33% dan sisanya adalah silica 17% serta cystine 8%. Ras anjing yang mendominasi adalah Pomeranian dan ras campuran. Ras kucing yang mendominasi adalah ras Persia dan paling banyak terjadi pada umur 5 tahun. Berdasarkan permeriksaan laboratorium dari enam buah sampel, diketahui bahwa masing-masing batu memiliki penampilan fisik yang berbeda serta tersusun dari banyak jenis kristal.

Judul: Oil Palm Fronds Particleboard Bonded with Phenol Formaldehyde and Molasses Adhesive
Abstrak: The utilization of oil palm fronds to be converted as particleboard was considered effective in preserving the environment. The addition of molasses to adhesive mixtures with phenol-formaldehyde (PF) was carried out as an effort to reduce the use of PF adhesive. This research aims to produce particleboard with high-quality and eco-friendly from oil palm fronds and to analyze the effect of adding molasses to PF adhesive on the quality of particleboard. This research method uses 5 levels of PF: molasses adhesive composition, namely 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100 (wt%). The target density of particleboard is designed to be 0,8 g/cm³ with dimensions of (30×30×0.6) cm³. The adhesive content used is 16% with a compression temperature of 180 °C for 10 minutes. Overall, the results of testing showed that the density, moisture content, thickness swelling, and MOE of the particleboard in this study had met the standard of SNI 03-2105-2006, but in the tests of MOR and IB only the composition of PF: molasses 100:0, 75:25, and 50:50 which had met the standard of SNI 03-2105-2006.
