Cervical cancer is very dangerous because it can result in death, so it needs serious attention. One of the efforts to prevent cervical cancer in women of fertile age (WUS) is by conducting a visual inspection of acetic acid (IVA) test. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the low number of IVA examinations at the Margorejo Pati Community Health Center. Cervical cancer is the fourth highest cancer in women with an estimated 570,000 new cases in 2018 which represents 6.6% of all female cancers. The high mortality rate from cervical cancer globally can be reduced through prevention, early diagnosis, effective screening and treatment programs. As of 2016, VIA coverage in Indonesia was 4.34%, which is still far from the national target of 10% at the end of 2015. In Indonesia, cervical cancer is still the cancer with the second largest number of sufferers after breast cancer. The incidence of new cases of cervical cancer according to GLOBOCAN data, 2018 for women in Indonesia is around 32,469 cases (17.2%) with a death rate of 18,279 (8.8%). The Global Burden of Cancer Study (Globocan) from the World Health Organization (WHO) noted that the total cancer cases in Indonesia in 2020 reached 396,914 cases and the total deaths were 234,511 cases. According to the Indonesian Cancer Foundation (YKI), one of the causes of the high number of cancer cases in Indonesia is environmental conditions that continue to produce carcinogens, such as cigarettes, processed meat, etc. Other causes that also influence include the habit of staying up late, lack of exercise, and eating too much. As a form of cancer prevention and control in Indonesia, especially breast cancer and cervical cancer, the Ministry of Health has made several efforts such as early detection of breast cancer and cervical cancer in women aged 30-50 years using the Visual Inspection method with Acetic Acid (IVA).

Introduction The patients with walled-off necrosis after acute necrotizing pancreatitis may require multiple interventions and may be associated adverse outcomes. Intensive care unit admission for organ failure and multistage step-up approaches are the cornerstones of optimal management. This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of the different strategies for the management of walled-off necrosis.
MethodsThis is a retrospective cross-sectional study of the patients with walled-off necrosis, managed from July 2022 to January 2024. The demographic data, clinical parameters and outcomes of different strategies including percutaneous and endoscopic drainage and laparoscopic and open necrosectomy were analyzed.
ResultsTwenty-five patients diagnosed with walled-off necrosis were evaluated. The mean age of those patients was 41.64±12.44 years, and 13 (52%) were females. The median time interval between the onset of acute pancreatitis and percutaneous drainage  was 31 (28-42) days. Seventeen (68%) patients were managed with percutaneous transgastric drainage. Among four (16%) patients requiring step-up approach, one required endoscopic ultrasound guided drainage, two (8%) underwent open necrosectomy, one underwent laparoscopic necrosectomy. The median length of hospital stay was 16 (3-60) days. There were four (16%) mortalities, two (8%) after percutaneous drainage only, one after endoscopic ultrasound guided drainage and one after open necrosectomy, all due to sepsis and multiple organ failure.
ConclusionInitial percutaneous transgastric drainage is feasible, safe and effective in the management of majority of patients with walled-off necrosis, thereby reducing further invasive interventions and improving the overall outcomes of the patients.

Published: September 2024

Laparoscopic surgery is normally performed under general anesthesia. Thoracic segmental spinal anesthesia (TSSA) can be a suitable alternative to general anesthesia for patients with respiratory diseases, as it avoids the risk of general anesthesia. We successfully managed a 74-year-old lady with COPD undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy with TSSA at T8-T9 interspace using 1.7 ml of hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% with 0.3 ml (15mcg) of fentanyl. Some discomfort was managed with 1mg midazolam and 50 mcg fentanyl intravenously. There was no neurological deficit and major hemodynamic fluctuations intra and post-operatively and recovery was uneventful.
Genomic Data Fusion using Paillier Cryptosystem
Authors: P. Shobha , N. Nalini
Published: September 2024

The proposed work performs secure data fusion using homomorphic encryption, specifically the Paillier cryptosystem. The Paillier cryptosystem allows computation to be performed on encrypted data without decrypting it first, thus ensuring the privacy and security of the computation. The experiment measures the algorithm's performance based on execution time, memory usage, security, accuracy, and scalability. The data-level Paillier cryptosystem approach is generally slower than the feature-level fusion method due to its more complex operations and computations. Scalability is limited by the time required for encryption, homomorphic addition, and decryption. Improving scalability can be achieved by parallelizing the encryption and decryption steps, optimizing the homomorphic addition algorithm, or using more efficient cryptographic primitives. The article compares the performance of the Paillier cryptosystem with differential privacy in terms of their advantages and disadvantages. By adopting a preemptive approach to data fusion security, healthcare organizations can minimize the risk of data breaches and protect patient privacy. Data fusion security is an important factor when dealing with medical records. In the field of medical records, data fusion refers to the method of combining multiple sources of data into a distinct record. This can include data from electronic health records (EHRs), medical imaging devices, wearable devices, and other sources. There are several security considerations that must be addressed when fusing data from multiple sources.

Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study was to develop a pair of single-pedestal types with a low-cost and user-friendly force plate for assessing ground reaction force (GRF), center of pressure (COP), and plantar pressure distribution (PPD). These parameters are crucial for assessing human movement and maintaining body balance. The load cells were tested with standard weights of 5, 10, 15, and 20 kg. Using linear regression, the analysis showed a strong linear relationship between the load cell output and the standard weight, with an R-squared value of 0.99. Furthermore, the error margin was determined to be less than +/- 5%. In the initial equipment assessment, a healthy female was evaluated the posture under both eye-open and eye-closed conditions through three sets of measurements. The results showed about a two-fold change in the COP parameter, possibly due to swaying when the eyes were closed. Additionally, the PPD parameter revealed varying foot weight distribution levels, even though the GRF values were almost the same. The equipment's graphic user interface (GUI) provides real-time graphical representations for GRF, COP, and PPD, aiding in training effectiveness for enhancing postural assessment under professional guidance. In future studies, we plan to use the developed equipment to observe its effectiveness by measuring a larger and more diverse population.

Published: September 2024

This study was carried out to develop a TLC method for quantifying one of bioactive, piperine, from polyherbal formulation (Ammarit-Osot) extracts. The extracts were prepared by different solvents such as methanol (ME) and water (WE). The mobile phase of toluene:acetone:formic acid (7:2:1, v/v/v) was used for separation. The calibration curve showed a good linearity (r2 = 0.9972) in the range of 50 – 500 ng/spot. This assay was assessed by intra-and interday precision (RSD 0.25 – 2.49%), and accuracy (101.05 – 101.56 %). The piperine content was found to be 23.06 ± 0.06 and 0.44 ± 0.03% w/w for ME and WE, respectively. Both ME and WE demonstrated significant activity in DPPH and FRAP assays, indicating their antioxidant potential. The TPC of ME and WE were 53.40 ± 2.21 and 101.18 ± 0.46 (mg GAE/g extract), respectively. The TFC of ME and WE were 43.35 ± 3.94 and 25.31 ± 1.74 (mg catechin/g extract), respectively. In addition, the cytotoxicity of extracts on RAW264.7 was investigated by MTT assay. The ME and piperine showed IC50 with 162.40 ± 7.84 and 115.68 ± 11.96 µg/mL, respectively. While the WE exhibited low cytotoxicity (IC50 > 1,000 µg/mL), the anti-inflammatory activity was assessed by LPS-stimulated NO overproduction. The ME and piperine displayed the ability to inhibit NO production, but WE not inhibited. The results indicated that the different solvent extracts of Ammarit-Osot have the potential to be antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune-stimulate agent.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) films were chemically modified by including organic groups, amino group of ethylenediamine (en), and furtherly treated with aromatic aldehyde. The modification process included synthesizing the films by casting utilizing tetrahydrofuran (THF) as the solvent. The films were enriched with five metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), specifically: TiO2, Co2O3, Cr2O3, NiO and CuO, in order to enhance their resistance to photodegradation. The films were subjected to UV light. The resulting damage was assessed both analytically and morphologically. The methods used for examination of the chemical structure comprised FT-IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopies. SEM and AFM were utilized to test the morphology of polymeric films. The efficiency of the modified PVC films to resist UV light was assessed by measuring the roughness factor (Rq) of the irradiated PVC films. The incorporation of NPs into the modified PVC resulted in films with high resistance to UV light, as confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy and weight loss measurement. The film made from modified PVC/Schiff base CuO NPs showed superior resistance to photo-degradation, as evidenced by the findings obtained from FT-IR spectra, surface morphological analysis, and weight loss.

Il ressort de notre analyse que la commune de Selembao est une municipalité confrontée aux problèmes de gestion de déchets ménagers solides. Ceci est dû à la mauvaise gouvernance des autorités.

Published: September 2024

This paper aims at presenting a component part of the doctoral research into the translation of conceptual metaphors. Adopting an interdisciplinary methodological framework which intertwines methods pertaining to Corpus Linguistics, Translation Studies, Cognitive Sciences and ICT, this study is focused on the analysis of (i) the conceptualization of ‘Light’ as UP-orientational metaphor in literary war narratives and (ii) the reconceptualization of such metaphor within interlinguistic and intercultural transfer via translation. The analysis employs a trilingual parallel corpus comprising one English language source sub-corpus and two translational target language sub-corpora, one in Romanian and another in Spanish. The results are indicative of frequent inequivalence in translation which affects the reception of the target texts.
