Diagnostic modalities imaging of sigmoid volvulus in adults
Authors: Wrastuti Ayu Aditya Willy , Marto Gede Angga Swistrawan
Published: December 2024

In adults, large bowel obstruction is predominantly attributed to colon or rectal cancer, diverticular disease, or colonic volvulus. Obstruction from the colonic volvulus results from twisting a redundant segment of the colon on its mesentery. Volvulus predominantly occurs in the sigmoid colon or cecum in over 95% of cases, with the remainder involving either the transverse colon or splenic flexure. The diagnosis of volvulus is established through clinical evaluation and imaging modalities. Abdominal plain x-rays are usually diagnostic with a coffee bean appearance showing a massive distended sigmoid colon, providing diagnostic clarity in 50% to 75% of cases. Nevertheless, the diagnostic efficacy of abdominal computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically claimed to exceed 90%. In CT and MRI, the characteristic finding of sigmoid volvulus is the mesenteric whirl sign, resulting from a rotating sigmoid mesentery, together with a dilated sigmoid colon and air-fluid levels in the small intestine. The diagnostic accuracy of CT and MRI was 97.3% and 95.6% respectively.

In the realm of surgical medicine, sutures play a pivotal role in the closure of wounds and incisions, serving as a cornerstone technique for promoting efficient healing and minimizing infection risk. The art of suturing demands a surgeon's deft touch and precision, ensuring the seamless union of tissue edges while striving to mitigate the formation of conspicuous scars. Over the years, the landscape of sutures has evolved significantly, witnessing the advent of novel methodologies aimed at enhancing both the efficacy and efficiency of wound closure. This review article delves into these pioneering advancements in sutures that have emerged, ushering in a new era of medical innovation. Among these advancements, modified antimicrobial sutures have emerged as a promising development, arming threads with properties to combat infections at the site of wound closure. Drug-eluting sutures represent another remarkable breakthrough, where medications can be released gradually, offering therapeutic benefits during the healing process. Stem cell-seeded sutures have taken regenerative medicine to a new level, promoting tissue regeneration, and accelerating recovery. In the age of cutting-edge technology, "smart sutures" have become a reality, equipped with sensors and integrated electronics to monitor wound healing in real-time, providing crucial data to healthcare professionals. Surgical zippers offer a unique approach to wound closure, simplifying the process and reducing operating time. Collectively, these novel advancements in sutures demonstrates a remarkable capacity to reduce the incidence of infections, expedite the healing process, and enhance patient outcomes. Moreover, they hold the promise of revolutionizing the field of surgery by rendering procedures less invasive and more effective. However, it is important to note that each suture has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, and the selection of the most suitable suture will be contingent on factors such as the nature and location of the wound, as well as the surgeon's preferences and expertise. As we stand on the precipice of medical innovation, these new sutures underscore the ongoing quest to refine surgical practices and improve patient care, illuminating a path towards a brighter and more advanced future in the field of surgery.

Abstract
Background: It is imperative to closely monitor patients for adverse effects of immunosuppressive (IS) agents, widely used in treating glomerulonephritis (GN). Our study aimed to investigate the occurrence of any drug-related adverse events in patients with primary GN, explicitly focusing on IS.
Methods: The present study analyzed 162 adult GN patients treated with IS drugs. The study scrutinized the demographic and clinical profiles of the patients, laboratory findings, and any side effects associated with IS drugs. We further investigated the patients for frequency and nature of infections, musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal symptoms, thromboembolism, new-onset diabetes, avascular necrosis, neuropsychiatric side effects, and premalignant conditions.
Results: The study comprised a diverse group of patients with a male majority of 51.9% and a mean age of 37.2±12.9 years. The patients were under clinical observation for an average of 69.6±40.1 months, and during the treatment, 71% experienced at least one adverse effect. After evaluating the data, we did not find a significant correlation between the GN type and the presence of side effects. Research demonstrates that patients receiving corticosteroids (CS) exhibit a higher incidence of myopathy than those receiving other IS therapies (p=0.001). Hypoalbuminemia (OR: 2.05; 95% CI: 1.82–2.28; p =0.001) and steroid treatment (OR: 1.04; 95% CI: 1.01–1.06; p = 0.009) are significantly associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes.
Conclusion: In cases of GN, it is not unusual for patients to encounter adversities associated with IS treatment, primarily when there is a comorbidity of hypoalbuminemia and CS exposure. The probability of these side effects occurring may increase under such circumstances.

Main Points:
• Patients diagnosed with GN should undergo meticulous monitoring to detect any potential adverse effects that may arise from the administration of IS agents
• The probability of experiencing side effects is higher when hypoalbuminemia and CS exposure are present.
• The present study suggests no discernible correlation between the type of GN and side effects.

Dissection and Current Approaches in Anatomy Education
Authors: Kara Enes
Published: December 2024

In the field of anatomy education, body donation varies considerably in different geographical regions of the world. Some countries, particularly in many parts of Europe and North America, have well-established and successful cadaver donation programs. These programs provide an adequate number of cadavers for medical students and researchers. This creates a continuous learning environment. However, in other regions, particularly in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, there are significant deficiencies in body donation. Several factors cause these disparities. First and foremost, cultural and religious factors influence donation rates. While the importance attached to bodily integrity in some societies may reduce the willingness to donate, in others donation is a cultural norm. While some countries have effective legal frameworks to promote donation, others have inadequate or incomplete regulations.
The importance of body donation for anatomy education is increasingly recognized. In this context, several steps need to be taken to develop and sustain donation programs. These may include improving legislation, establishing ethical guidelines and conducting awareness campaigns. It is also important to identify donor profiles and maintain relationships of trust. Through national and international research, a successful foundation can be established, taking into account local factors and community needs.

Published: December 2024

Anemia is a global health condition affecting infants and pregnant women, and one of its most common causes is iron deficiency. Iron is an essential nutrient for children ages 6 and 11. In several countries, governments counter iron deficiency by promoting mineral fortification of widely consumed foods. In this study, we evaluated the acceptability of a flour formula composed of chickpea flour and chicken liver powder as iron sources, partially replacing wheat flour in a sweet bread (muffin) preparation. In the first part of our experiment, three formulations with variable shares of chickpea and chicken liver powder were presented to a children’s taste panel to assess odor, color, texture, and product acceptability, identifying the most acceptable substitution formulation (consisting of 65% chickpea flour, 5% chicken liver, and 30% wheat flour). The control recipe consisted of 100% wheat flour. The second part of the experiment evaluated product durability following three storage dates after preparation (1 day, 8 days, and 15 days). The attributes of color, texture, and flavor degraded slightly over time, and odor varied markedly in disproportion with storage time. The selected formulation can serve as an iron supplement without affecting the hedonistic perception of the final product made with it.

Published: December 2024

Background: Compost made from coffee husk and pulp residues could serve as a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers for fertilizing coffee fields. Methods: This study was conducted to determine the agronomic value of seven compost formulations based on coffee residues [Husk residues+chicken manure (3:1); Husk residues+chicken manure (2:1); Husk residues+chicken manure (1:1); Husk residues+pig slurry (3:1); husk residues+pig slurry (2:1); pulp residues+chicken manure (3:1); and husk residues+pig slurry (1:1)] mixed in equal proportion with potting soil on the vegetative growth of coffee seedlings in the nursery. The experimental design employed was a completely randomized design with one factor. Result: Six months after planting, the compost based on husk residues+chicken manure (3:1) and the compost based on husk residues+pig slurry (3:1) were found to be more effective. The former led to rapid growth in plant height (46.85 cm compared to 27.1 cm) and diameter. It is followed in terms of effectiveness on height growth by the compost based on husk residues+Pig slurry in proportion (3:1). These composts also had a positive impact on the fresh and dry biomass (aboveground and root) of coffee plants. This can be explained by the high content of organic matter, nitrogen, potassium, calcium and phosphorus in these composts. These two composts mixed in equal proportion with potting soil are recommended for coffee plant production in the nursery. Furthermore, field experimentation would confirm their effectiveness.

Authors: Devfara Muhammad Farel , Abror Hadziqul , Triono Agus
Published: December 2024

This research analyzes the retention time of the three phase separator in separating oil, water, and gas phases at PT Pertamina refinery unit IV Cilacap. With an initial retention time ranging from 31 - 34 minutes, there are phases that are still not separated in the separator. This study aims to provide recommendations for retention time based on unseparated phases and how to apply them to the separator at the refinery. This study involves three types of lube oil analyzed, namely DAO, MMO, and LMO. The results show that there is still a difference between the phases at the inlet and outlet which indicates that the phase separation at the initial retention time is still not optimal so that new retention time recommendations need to be made. In the type of DAO lube oil with a retention time of 33 minutes with the largest difference at the inlet and outlet of 0.040. In the type of MMO lube oil with a retention time of 31.2 minutes with the largest difference of 0.037. In the type of LMO lube oil with a retention time of 34.2 minutes with the largest difference of 0.036. After making retention time recommendations based on the results of the difference between inlet and outlet, the retention time recommendations for DAO are 54.6 minutes, MMO is 51.6 minutes, and LMO is 55.8 minutes. The application of retention time recommendations for the separator can be done by optimizing the flow rate at 432,439 m3/day or adding new separator facilities that can accommodate operational volumes of up to 60.4 m3.

Authors: Saputri Eriska Eklezia Dwi , Vani Nur Azizah
Published: December 2024

In well X, there has been a decline in oil production, leading to a decrease in the company’s revenue. This is due to an increase in the watercut percentage, as the reservoir itself operates on a water drive mechanism. Therefore, a follow-up action is needed to address this situation by using an artificial lift ESP with a tandem design. This approach aims to enhance the effectiveness and economic efficiency of the production process. The artificial lift Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) used is a CENTRILIFT with model FC2700, series 400, installed at depths of 6371 ft and 6382 ft, respectively. A comparison of the two artificial lifts shows that the number of stages in the upper section is greater than in the lower section, resulting in a higher oil flow rate at the top, reaching 68.52 STB/d. Meanwhile, in the ESP well, oil flow rate has increased by 77.46 STB/d.

Published: December 2024

The research focuses on evaluating the production performance of three oil wells-Well F55A MB, Well Hovea 13 ST1, and Well Pedirka-1-using Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) and Vertical Lift Performance (VLP) analysis to determine optimal artificial lift methods for each case. The study explores critical production parameters such as reservoir pressure, temperature, and gas-to-oil ratio (GOR) while employing decision tree methodologies to select suitable artificial lift systems. For Well Hovea 13 ST1 and Well Pedirka-1, gas lift installations significantly enhanced oil recovery rates by optimizing injection pressures and valve placements, achieving production gains of 694 and 300 barrels per day, respectively. In contrast, Well F55A MB, characterized by high water cut and lower reservoir temperatures, was deemed unsuitable for artificial lift based on the decision tree analysis, with a stable production of 2832 stb/d. This work highlights the importance of tailored artificial lift strategies for maximizing oil recovery and improving well performance in diverse reservoir conditions.

The oil rate to sweetening gas ratio averaged 89.31% in the existing stripper and 88.01% in the optimization scenario. The sweetening gas injection to oil rate ratio averaged 10.7% in the existing stripper and 12.0% in the optimization scenario. The optimization scenario reduced H2S content from 24000 ppm to 60 ppm, meeting standards. Overall, optimizing the oil rate to sweetening gas injection ratio improved H2S content reduction efficiency in the stripper, with H2S content at the outlet less than 100 ppm.

The analysis of data published and obtained during field work allowed to determine the stratigraphic position of the Eldakh carbonate massif allowed researchers to determine. Based on the findings of trilobites and analysis of their distribution intervals, it was found that the stratigraphic position of most of the massif (up to 135 m from the section beginning) corresponds to the Kounamkites zone of the Amginian Stage of the Middle Cambrian of the General Stratigraphic Scale. The upper section part may be of a younger age and can correspond to the Triplagnostus gibbus overlying zone. Most of the Eldakh Horizon, the volume of which is equal to the Eldakh massif (formerly the Eldakh Formation), should be compared with the middle of the Amginian Stage, namely with the Kounamkites zone and, possibly, with bottoms of the Triplagnostus gibbus zone. Previously, the stratigraphic position of this regional subdivision of the Altai-Sayan folded region was determined by the upper part of the Amginian and bottoms of the Mayan of the Middle Cambrian.

An approach is proposed to determine the salinity of formation water by approximating diagrams of spontaneous potential logging (SP) by analytical functions. The method is based on the representation of SP diagrams in the form of a superposition of sigmoid functions. Their parameters are associated with the geoelectric parameters of the medium, and are also used to correct SP signals depending only on the salinity of formation water and the degree of the reservoir layer clay content. The clay content is taken into account by a method based on the assumption of a monotonous dependence of formation water salinity on the depth. The applicability analysis of some sigmoid functions to take into account a wide range of geoelectric conditions is carried out. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is shown on synthetic SP diagrams calculated using a numerical modeling algorithm, as well as on practical data of SP logging materials in the intervals of sandyclayey reservoirs in West Siberia.

The results of studying the surface graphitization of diamonds by optical and scanning electron microscopy in various experimentally realized conditions are presented: at 2–4 GPa, 1450–1550 °C in carbonate medium and at 1000 °C and atmospheric pressure in a flowing medium of wet argon. It is determined that a dense optically opaque shell is formed on diamond crystals in a carbonate medium. As a result of an oxidation in wet argon, the surface graphite forms an unequal translucent film on diamond crystals. The represented conditions at high P-T parameters in a carbonate medium simulate the presence of diamonds in metamorphic complexes of ultrahigh pressures, and the wet argon medium simulates the presence of impact diamonds in astroblemes.

Published: December 2024

To achieve gender equality, domestic and international organisations have developed gender policies to integrate gender equality considerations into development processes. However, gender inequality persists in most spheres of society. Some higher education institutions have developed and implemented gender policies to address the gender gap. The scholarly literature available pays scant attention to how gender policies are implemented in higher learning institutions. This study, therefore, aims to understand how gender policies in higher education institutions are implemented to bridge the gender gap in female participation and representation in leadership positions. Using the qualitative approach of in-depth interviews, the analysed data reveal that universities use various strategies such as mentoring female staff, gender awareness and sensitisation, creation of gender centres and institutional support, and continuous gender education as means of implementing gender policies. These strategies lead to resilient and gender-inclusive systems and promote full participation of women in the various sectors and subject areas of higher education in Ghana. It is concluded that effective implementation of gender policies in higher education institutions, through well-articulated strategies, is crucial for promoting female participation, challenging ingrained gender norms, and achieving gender equality and inclusivity.
Social media and collective identity on protest, analysis comparative of Omnibus Law protest and Hongkong 19-20 protest
Authors: Sutan Arissy Jorgi
Published: December 2024

The large protests against the New Amendment to the Extradition Bill in Hong Kong and the Omnibus Law 2020 Job Creation Bill in Indonesia are proof of the massive public movement through social media. This study aims to determine how social media is used in social movements in terms of dichotomy content, actor clusters, and collective identity formation in two cases: Indonesia (Rejection of the Omnibus Law Job Creation Bill) and Hong Kong (Rejection of the Extradition Bill Amendment). Differences and similarities are listed below. This research uses a Qualitative Method, with the analysis using Qualitative Data Analysis Software (Q-DAS), namely NVIVO 12Plus. This study has the following results: First, the dichotomy content between Indonesia and Hong Kong tends to be evenly distributed. Second, both examples show parallels in the distribution of actor clusters with the dichotomy, demonstrating that both cases have become a significant movement. Third, the collective identity in the Indonesian case refers to the contesting parties in the pros and cons of the Omnibus Law. In contrast, the Hong Kong case relates to protecting the Hong Kong people’s ethnicity, language, politics, economy, and culture. The limitations of this study focus on social media in social movements and collective identities, excluding regulatory analysis and aspects of digital/mass media. This study recommends further research focusing on the legal consequences of the Omnibus Law and including digital and mass media in the framing of social movements.
