Infeksi Haemonchus contortus (haemonchosis) sering menimbulkan gejala anemia karena sifatnya yang menghisap darah. Penelitian ini bertujuan menilai tingkat kepucatan konjungtiva mata domba menggunakan scanner berbasis sensor TCS 34725. Alat scanner konjungtiva dibuat menggunakan Arduino Uno sebagai mikrokontroler dan dilengkapi dengan sensor kecerahan, sensor jarak, dan layar LCD 16 x 2. Domba percobaan dibuat mengalami anemia sebagai model dari kondisi haemonchosis anemia dan dibagi ke dalam kelompok D1 dan D2. Selanjutnya dilakukan pengambilan data warna konjungtiva menggunakan scanner dan sampel darahnya untuk diperiksa jumlah sel darah merah (RBC), nilai hematokrit (PCV), Hb, dan indeks eritrositnya. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan pada hari ke 0, 3, dan 6. Kondisi anemia buatan berhasil tercapai dengan dibuktikannya warna konjungtiva yang terlihat semakin pucat pada hari ke-3 dan 6. Hasil pengukuran scanner menunjukkan rata-rata brightness di dalam kandang selama pengambilan data sensor adalah 433.56±122.62 dengan nilai RGB yang bervariasi pada kelompok D1 dan D2. Seiring dengan kondisi warna yang semakin pucat terlihat nilai Red dan Green juga menurun sedangkan nilai Blue tidak. Hasil pemeriksaan darah menunjukkan bahwa nilai RBC, Hb, PCV, dan indeks eritrosit pada D1 terlihat menurun pada hari ke 3 dan mulai recovery pada hari ke-6 meski warna konjungtiva masih terlihat pucat. Pada kelompok D2, hasil pemeriksaan darah menunjukkan nilai yang terus menurun sampai hari ke-6 seiring dengan konjungtiva yang bertambah pucat. Hubungan yang terlihat kuat adalah nilai Red hasil dari alat scanner dengan nilai Hb hasil pemeriksaan darah. Simpulan dari penelitian ini adalah sensor TCS 34725 dapat digunakan untuk mengkuantifikasi kepucatan konjungtiva dan mampu untuk menduga kondisi anemia pada domba karena memiliki korelasi dengan kadar Hb di dalam darah.

Authors: Gunawan Michael , Hardani Putra Andhika , Widyaputri Tiara
Published: May 2023

Atopic disease remains as an enigmatic hypersensitivity disorder in feline patients. Studies of cutaneous atopic syndrome in cats have reported several reaction patterns in cats, presenting as a diagnostic challenge, and a recent literature review has proposed a new set of terminologies for such diagnoses. This paper aims to report a case workup of feline atopic skin syndrome in a patient presented with severe pruritus and reaction patterns of self-inducd alopecia and facial excoriation. Feline food allergy and flea allergic dermatitis were ruled out by a 6-week elimination diet and use of fluralaner respectively. Clinical symptoms were successfully managed with the use of oral glucocorticoid (GC) and systemic and topical antimicrobial, the use of all of which for 8 weeks was deemed successful based on the degree of clinical relief provided. It is concluded that feline atopic skin syndrome is a clinical diagnosis and pharmacological interventions, including drugs to treat skin inflammation and secondary infection, are warranted.

A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2012 at the Instructional Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur to study the phenology and productivity of maize cultivars under different sowing environments. The crop sown on June 16 required significantly higher number of days and accumulated GDD to attain various phenophases compared to July 1 and July 16 sown crops. Higher day temperature coupled with low humidity caused reduction in grain yield under July 16 sown crop. Soil moisture content at different depths was significantly lower at 75 DAS under July 16 sown crop as compared to June 16 and July 1 sown crop. The row spacing was not able to bring any significant difference in growing degree days. Among the cultivars, HQPM-1 required significantly more number of days and GDD for attaining reproductive and maturity as compared to PEHM-2 and Pratap-1. A significant negative correlation between grain yield and maximum temperature during reproductive phase was recorded.

Nitrogen (N) fertility is an important component of rice cultivation systems, especially where rice growing under aerobic condition. This study examined the effects of silicon (Si) and leaf colour chart (LCC) based N management on yield and N use efficiency under aerobic rice. A field experiment was conducted in sandy loam soils at Bangalore-north with split plot design. The treatments consist of four main plots viz., control (No N), 60 kg Nha -1 (No basal + LCC-3), 90 kg Nha-1 (Urea at 30 kg Nha -1as basal + LCC-3) and 100 kg Nha -1as urea (RDF) and two sub plots viz., with (calcium silicate at 2 tha-1 ) and without Si treated plots. Periodical LCC readings were taken and N was applied if the LCC value falls below the prescribed critical value. The results revealed that the highest grain yield was noticed with the application calcium silicate at 2 t ha-1and with 90 kg Nha-1 (Urea at 30 kg Nha-1as basal + LCC-3) and it was on par with 60 kg Nha-1 (no basal + LCC-3) compared to recommended N (100 kg Nha -1 ) under aerobic rice. Higher fertilizer N-use efficiency was recorded with the application of Si and need-based N management using LCC-3 rather than recommended dose of fertilizer over control.

An experiment was under taken to study the combining ability analysis using ten parental lines and their F1 hybrids of bitter gourd through full diallel analysis for yield and its contributing characters. The mean squares due to GCA (General Combining ability) and SCA (Specific Combining Ability) were significant for all the characters. The ratio of σ2g/σ2s was lesser than one for the characters viz., yield of fruits per vine, ascorbic acid content and iron content thereby indicating preponderance of non- additive (dominance) variance in expression of these traits. The parents CO-1 and Preethi were the best general combiners as it showed desirable GCA effects in favourable direction for most of the traits. The highest SCA effects observed in MC-105 x MC-10 for total fruit yield per plant and number of fruits per plant and for iron content, days to first female flower appearance and days to first harvest, Preethi x MC-30 showed desirable SCA effects in favourable direction. The best general combiners and desirable cross combinations may be further used in the breeding programme for bitter gourd crop improvement.

Finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.) is an important subsistence cereal in parts of Africa and South Asia. Finger millet is commonly called as “nutritious millet” as the grains are superior to many cereals providing fair amount of protein, minerals and vitamins in abundance to the people. The parental values of different traits in different crosses depend on their potential and their combining ability in different combinations. The concept of general and specific combining abilities is useful to characterize the hybrids in the breeding programme and also elucidate the nature and magnitude of gene actions involved in the trait of interest. Two hybrids namely CO (Ra) 14 x PR 202 and GPU 28 x K 7 were found to be superior for grain yield and other major yield components along with the protein content based on per se performance, sca effect and standard heterosis.

Seven cytoplasmic male sterile lines were crossed with six restorers in line x tester fashion to estimate the heterosis for seed yield and its component traits in sunflower. The result revealed that seed yield and its components showed highly significant differences for all the traits. The extent of heterosis in 42 hybrids over better parent (BP) ranged from 6.15 to 317.28% for seed yield and from -11.42 to 10.18% for oil content. The superiority of hybrids over standard check (PAC-1091) ranged from -58.41 to 24.63% and from -5.92 to 14.88% for seed yield and oil content respectively. The hybrids CMS 234A x RHA-6D-1R, CMS 852A x RHA-6D-1R and ARM 243A x 3376R were the best for seed yield, oil content and yield characters. These hybrids may be exploited for heterosis breeding and need to be screened for yield stability.

Experiments were conducted to develop a suitable Ailanthus excelsa based silvihorticultural system for higher productivity in Western zone of Tamil Nadu. Tomato, brinjal, bhendi, cluster beans and vegetable cowpea were intercropped in 3 years old Ailanthus excelsa. Results revealed that the growth and yield of intercrops were reduced under intercropping compared to pure cropping. Among the test crops, tomato was most affected and cluster bean was the least affected. However the benefit cost ratio was highest for brinjal (3.02:1) and lowest for vegetable cowpea (2.35:1) due to the higher productivity in brinjal. Growth of Ailanthus was also influenced due to intercropping with cluster beans and vegetable cowpea. The tree height and DBH of Ailanthus was highest when intercropped with cluster beans (15.21% and 10.00 % increase over pure tree) and the lowest was observed with tomato (4.30 % and 2.50 % increase over tree alone).

Ten varieties of moth bean {Vigna aconitifolia (Jacq.) Marechal} were evaluated for seed yield and its components under rainfed conditions during kharif 2006 and 2007. Significant differences were observed among genotypes for days to flowering, plant height, peduncle length, days to maturity and seed yield/plant. The variabilities recorded were highest in seed yield/plant and peduncle length, and high for plant height, and moderate for days to flowering and 100-seed weight. Days to flowering, peduncle length and plant height had high heritability coupled with high genetic advance. Pod length was the only character, which had significant positive association with seed yield/plant whereas petiole length and days to maturity had significant negative association with seed yield. Association analysis showed that for higher seed yield, longer pods, short leaf stalk and early maturity should be given emphasis in breeding programme of moth bean. Among all the varieties tested, RMO 257 was identified as the best seed yielder for arid environment.

Studies were conducted at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Killikulam, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University on the growth pattern of leaf and stalk in different stages of growth viz; seedling, juvenile, early juvenile and adult (male and female) and observation on rate of growth of leaf and stalk, time taken for completing the active growth of leaf & stalk and time taken for successive production of leaf in the five selected palms in each of the above four categories. The results showed that the rate of growth of leaf was maximum in adult female followed by adult male and was the least in the seedling stage. It was also observed that there was an increase in the rate of growth of leaf as the stage of growth of palm was advanced. Further, it was also noticed that the arresting of leaf growth in all stages of palm coincided with the initiation of stalk at leaf base. There was a gradual and steady reduction noticed in the mean number of days taken to complete the active growth of leaf as the advancement of growth stages of the palms, showing that adult stages of the palm was found to be active compared to the subsequent stages of growth. Similarly, a gradual reduction in the mean number of days taken for successive leaf production was noticed, as the growth stage of the palms advanced. The rate of growth of stalk was found to be faster and maximum in seedling stage followed by early juvenile, juvenile and adult stages. The rate of growth of stalk showed a linear and increasing trend coinciding with the developmental stages of the palm. The mean number of days required for completing the active growth of stalk during various stages showed a reverse trend to that of active leaf growth, since, the early stages of palms took less number of days to complete the active growth of stalk compared to the later or advanced stages. Both early juvenile and seedling stages were found to be active compared to the subsequent stages of growth.

A doença hepática gordurosa não alcoólica (DHGNA) é caracterizada pela concentração, em excesso, de gordura no fígado. Pode acometer tanto aqueles que não consomem álcool quanto os que o utilizam em poucas quantidades. Na atualidade, a DHGNA é considerada a desordem mais prevalente no mundo, tornando, portanto, um problema de saúde pública. Esta pesquisa é baseada na revisão narrativa da literatura, sendo, portanto, uma abordagem qualitativa. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que os principais fatores de risco se relacionam à obesidade, às dislipidemias (ou hiperlipidemia) e à resistência à insulina. As formas de diagnósticos ocorrem por meio da ultrassonografia e biópsia hepática, majoritariamente. Já entre os métodos de tratamento, encontram-se a cirurgia bariátrica, os antioxidantes e hipolipemiantes e a dieta. Neste estudo, verificou-se que a esteatose hepática tem forte relação com a obesidade, sendo o seu principal fator de risco. Neste caso, o tratamento terá mais sucesso caso o paciente adote hábitos de vida saudáveis, incluindo a dieta e a prática de atividades físicas

Cleft lip-alveolar-palatal fissures (FLAP) are one of the most frequent congenital malformations nationwide. Its etiology is complex and both genetic and environmental factors are directly associated with a higher number of births with this anomaly. The aim of this work is to determine the prevalence of FLAP in pediatric patients of the Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital in the city of Cuenca in the period 2016-2020. For this purpose, the collection of medical records of patients with FLAP under 17 years of age between the period of 2016 to 2020 was carried out. The data obtained from the 582 records, were subjected to statistical analysis using the computer program IBM SPSS Statistics version 20; gender, age range, type and location of the fissure were analyzed. The results showed that 69.6% of the study sample belonged to the male gender and 30.4% to the female gender. The highest prevalence in age corresponds to the year with a percentage of 24.7%. According to its location, the most common type of cleft corresponds to the mixed cleft with 43.13%; and finally, according to the type, cleft of the hard palate and soft palate with unilateral cleft lip was the one with the most reported cases with a percentage corresponding to 24.2%.

Objective: To analyze the importance of making a good diagnosis of odontogenic sinusitis through searching in different digital databases. Methodology: A bibliography was carried out in the Pubmed and Scopus databases of studies published between 2017-2022 using keywords. In addition, the Boolean AND operator was used to connect these descriptors and the inquiries were made based on the PICO abbreviation. Results: 1270 studies were obtained from the two digital databases; from these, 50 were selected after applying exclusion and inclusion criteria. Conclusion: Odontogenic sinusitis must have a multidisciplinary diagnosis made by joint efforts on behalf of dentists and otolaryngologists. The most frequent odontogenic foci are periapical pathologies, previous surgeries, and molars that are close to the floor of the maxillary sinus. Symptoms and radiographic studies, such as CBCT, should be taken into account.

Registered nurses who have further education and training in rehabilitation are known as rehabilitation nurses. An introduction to the hospital is usually the first step in training, which is then followed by a didactic component about caring for rehabilitation patients and a preceptorship of varied lengths depending on prior experience. Rehabilitation nurses can advance their credentials by becoming certified in neuroscience nursing by the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses or by becoming certified in rehabilitation nursing through the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses (ARN) (AANN). Increasingly, neurological rehabilitation is viewed as a specialized form of rehabilitation needing advanced nursing skills. However, just as in many other nursing specialties, nurses in this sector know that they must expand their expertise to give their patients and their families the finest and most modern care possible. Neurological rehabilitation nurses must be knowledgeable about the corpus of existing research in this area to practice at a high level of competence and make wise judgments about their practice and future research endeavors. The review concludes that more high-quality and quantity research in this field still needs to be done. Since most of the research was conducted at a single location, it cannot be generalized to other clinical settings.

The use of probiotics in feed is expected to have a synergistic effect with phytochemicals in herbal leaves (Moringa leaves), so that it can improve the growth and health of ducks. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the inclusion of fermented Moringa oleifera leaf powder (FM) by probiotics, on growth and pathogenic bacteria in the jejunum of ducks. A total of 240 male ducks (Anas sp.) aged 2 weeks were randomized into 4 treatment groups with an FM-added diet, namely: 2% (B); 4% FM (C), and 6% FM (D), respectively. Feed without the addition of FM as a control (A). Each treatment was repeated 6 times with 40 ducks. The results, the final body weight (BW), live weight gain (LWG) and feed efficiency (FE) in group B, C, and D ducks were significantly (P≤0.05) higher than group A ducks. In contrast, abdominal fat, the number of Coliform bacteria and E. coli in group B, C, and D ducks, significantly (P≤0.05) lower than control (A). It was concluded that giving 2-6% FM in feed can increase growth and feed efficiency, and conversely, by reducing abdominal fat and pathogenic bacteria in the intestine of ducks.
