DISSECTING FASXIATOR POTENTIAL AS ALTERNATIVE ANTICOAGULANT BY PREVENTING THROMBOSIS THROUGH INHIBITION OF CONTACT ACTIVATION SYSTEM
Authors: Aurelie Nadine
Published: April 2022

Thrombosis, an imbalanced interaction between blood components, contributes greatly to deaths that occur worldwide. Therefore, treatment that can reverse the condition of blood clotting and hypercoagulability is essential. However, the drugs used to treat thrombosis-based diseases have side effects that can be seen in short and long term, particularly an increased risk of bleeding. Therefore, an alternative treatment is needed to overcome the problem of thrombosis without causing significant side effects that can endanger the lives of anticoagulant drug users. The solution to this problem is none other than nature provided, a protease inhibitor obtained through the venom of the Bungarus fasciatus snake, Fasxiator.

Fasxiator can dilute blood through the inhibition of Contact Activation System (CAS) mechanism, specifically inhibiting factor XIa. The advantage of blood clotting inhibition through the CAS method is that it does not affect normal hemostasis, thereby minimizing the bleeding problems that are common with other anticoagulant drugs. Animal studies in rats demonstrated properties of high target selectivity for factor XIa, effectiveness, and high safety profile of Fasxiator, enabling the application of Fasxiator as an anticoagulant in the future.

Therefore, based on the discussion that has been explained above, Fasxiator has the potential to be used as an anticoagulant on humans in the future due to its high selectivity, effectivity, and safety in previous animal studies.

Background: Although 64 million people has suffered from COPD, studies have shown that 70% of COPD patients worldwide was underdiagnosed due to many reasons. Adequate and fast detection are crucial in determining prognosis of this disease. However, many lungs function test still have disadvantages and limitations. Covid-19 pandemic era has limited our mobility and increase the risk of household air-pollution exposure which increase the risk of COPD. Thus, alternative solutions are needed to detect and screened household air pollution related COPD patients as fast as possible.

Discussion: E-nose technology has been proven to effectively detects various respiratory diseases. This could be the alternative solution to provide COPD diagnostic tests which usually use spirometry with its disadvantages. Breath-print based VOC detection could be sensor biomarker for respiratory diseases, even COPD. If this is integrated with primary care systems in Indonesia during Covid-19 pandemic era, it could be the solution in early detection of COPD.

Conclusion: Integration of e-nose based breath-print test is potential to be the solution of early and accurate detection of COPD which are non-invasive and patient-well with its advantages.

Published: April 2022

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) as a clinical manifestation of severe pneumonia is a major cause of death for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who are treated in intensive care units (ICU). ARDS is triggered by cytokine storm. Cytokine storm is characterized by an increased in proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-1α, and IL-1β. Thus, IL-6 and IL-1 cytokine inhibitors in the form of monoclonal antibodies are needed to overcome this. This review of the scientific literature aims to identify the effect of monoclonal antibody therapy, which is focusing on the inhibitors of cytokines IL-6 (tocilizumab) and IL-1 (anakira) in patients with severe pneumonia caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) ) with clinical manifestations in the form of ARDS. The design used in the form of scientific literature review. Articles were collected via Google Scholar search engine through several data sources (Pubmed, Sciencedirect, Nature, Proquest, and Springer Link). Inclusion criteria used were literature sources published between 2011 – 2020  in the form of research articles, systematic reviews, annual reports, and/or books. Meanwhile, the exclusion criterion used was literature sources under 2011. Based on article search results, tocilizumab can efficiently improve clinical status and reduce the mortality rate of COVID-19 patients with ARDS. Even so, tocilizumab can increase the risk of infection and the evidence obtained by the authors was not enough to support the administration of tocilizumab outside of clinical trials. Thus, the safety and side effects of monoclonal antibodies need to be further investigated.

Authors: Ahmad Zainuddin  , Resti Prastika Destiarni  , Ahmad Syariful Jamil
Published: April 2022

The Indonesian government has a discourse to implement the tax imposition policy on staple foods during this pandemic. If the policy is implemented, it is feared that it will have a negative impact on the economy, especially in East Java. This study aimed to analyze the East Java economic model and simulate the application of the staple food tax during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study uses an econometric model with a simultaneous equation system using the Two-Stage Least Square (2SLS) method. The analysis results show that the implementation of the basic food tax, either 5 percent or 10 percent, will not have any implications for increasing East Java's GRDP. Moreover, the policy will have implications for the decline of the economy of East Java as a whole. Therefore, the government needs to reconsider the policy of taxing staple foods.

Published: April 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in vulnerable conditions for MSMEs, including the funding aspect. As the largest contributor to the East Java economy, MSMEs must receive more protection, one of which is by selecting the right alternative capital. By combining the results of a literature study and interviewing informants, this paper describes alternative funding solutions as an effort to recover the economy during the pandemic. The results of the interdisciplinary analysis found that the proper alternative funding for MSMEs was Equity Crowdfunding (ECF). ECF is able to attract investors who have both economic and social intentions. Both intentions are considered equally important with the purpose of this alternative funding, namely to establish protection in the capital aspect for MSMEs. In addition, ECF currently has many potentials, especially considering the popularity of millennial investment trends and “hijrah financial”—financial migration to the sharia economy—among Indonesian people. Juxtaposed with the results of interviews, the interdisciplinary analysis is expected to describe the real situation of economic conditions in East Java. Then the output produced by this paper will be in the form of suggestions for MSMEs and the government regarding the use, development, and provision of education related to ECF.

With a hedonistic approach, it can be explained as an actual, momentary experience which is both delightful and transitory whilst avoiding painful adventures. Life satisfaction, then again, is surprisingly confounded; the terms are usually viewed as equivalent; however, they are two particular ideas. The assessment of one's life in general and not exclusively one's present level of pleasure, is called life fulfilment. This research is aimed at studying the affective and cognitive components of the subjective well-being i.e., Perceived happiness and Life satisfaction respectively, in recovered drug addicts. Happiness measures by M.W. Fordyce and Satisfaction with life scale (1985) were used among 96 selected samples of recovered drug addicts of age 19 years and above with a drug free period of minimum 2 years.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: Root canal treatment (RCT) is generally known as a painful procedure. One of the most significant disadvantages of root canal therapy is that most patients are unaware of it. To effectively address the problem, it is important to understand and recognise the factors that prevent or deter patients from undergoing RCT. According to a review of the literature, there is a scarcity of data on RCT knowledge and acceptance among patients in the Indian population. Aim: The aim of this present study is to assess the patients perception who had undergone root canal treatment. Materials and Methods: 100 participants were involved in the study. A well structured questionnaire containing 15 questions was administered to the participants through an online survey link. The responses were analysed through descriptive statistics using SPSS software. The results are represented through pie charts and association graphs. Results and Discussion: The patients association is not significant. This shows that if patients are not properly educated regarding RCT, they get motivated to undertake the treatment. Patients' confidence can be increased by informing them about potential post endodontic pain and administering drugs to handle it.

The interplay between the intraoral and extra oral muscles plays a major role in stability and position of dentition and surrounding structures. This equilibrium is affected by oral habits. Oral habits play a major role in the development of malocclusion and also affect the surrounding hard and soft tissues. To minimize their effects, it is important to intercept the habit as soon as possible which will in turn reduce the treatment time with fixed orthodontics. To do so, an appliance is constructed which can treat a combination of problems simultaneously.
