Haleyora Power to determine the recipients of electricity subsidies there are still many mistakes such as not being on target, these subsidies are even obtained by people who are able to this incident not only in one period but often, because in the Decision Making System determining the eligibility of electricity subsidy recipients still uses a manual process and the database used is still in paper form in the form of files and there are no specific characteristics to be considered. This research aims to produce a system that can be used as a tool and makes it easier to determine the eligibility of electricity subsidy recipients. The method used in this research is the Multifactor Evaluation Process (MFEP) method. With the existence of a decision support system for determining eligibility assistance for electricity subsidies, the eligibility criteria will become clearer. The results of the ranking of 20 potential electricity subsidy recipients whose data are processed and produce a total calculation or accuracy of 100% using the Multifactor Evaluation Process (MFEP) method based on data on electricity subsidy recipients at PT.

Published: March 2021

Maternal mental health is largely neglected in low and middle income countries. There is no routine screeningor treatment of maternal mental disorders in primary care settings in most parts of our country. Womenof every culture, age, income level and race can develop perinatal mood or anxiety disorder. Symptomscan appear any time during pregnancy and the first 12 months after childbirth. According to the WorldHealth Organization, worldwide about 10% of pregnant women and 13% of women who have given birthexperience a mental disorder, primarily depression.Risk factors involved in causing maternal mental health issues include previous history or family historyof mental health problems, poverty, extreme stress, childhood abuse and neglect, violence, interpersonalconflict, inadequate support from family, alcohol or drug abuse, and unplanned or unwanted pregnancy,natural disasters, and negative experiences from previous pregnancies. With severe depression, the mothersfail to adequately eat, sleep, bathe or adequately care for herself or the baby. The risk of suicide or harmingthe baby is also possible. Prolonged or severe mental illness affects family life, hampers mother infantbonding, breastfeeding and infant care.Specialized midwives can be effectively involved in promoting healthy pregnancies, in primary andsecondary prevention, early identification, and timely provision of quality specialist care to the affectedwomen. However, identification and management of mental disorders by non- specialized health providersis strongly recommended by the World Health Organization.

Of the 72 patients, 25(34.7%) have been diagnosed with pre-eclamptictoxaemia 27(37.1%) inducedpregnancy and 20(27.8%) with eclampsia. Most people were 21-25 years old and their average age was 25.3years old. Of the 72 patients, 38 were primipara (52.8 percent). 20 (27.8%) of newborns were delivered before37 weeks, while 52 (72,2%) were delivered before 37 weeks. A cesarean section was available in 37 of allpatients (51 percent). The cesarean portion in PIH & PET was higher. Of the 72 newborn patients 16(22.2%)were low in birth weight, and patients with ecclampsy were more likely to experience low birth weight. 35 of72 patients had poor fetal results, including 1.4 percent perinatal and 33.3 percent asphyxiated infants. Only5 (6.5 percent) had complications in maternal outcomes such as strokes, renal eclampsia. All participantsin this study are women who are pregnant and receive prenatal care.

Background: Diuretics have been used in the treatment of hypertension by either alone or combining itwith other antihypertensive drugs. It treated about 50% of hypertensive patients alone and about 80% whentreatment was a combination with other antihypertensive drugs. Oral diuretics are used as an initiatingantihypertensive treatment in stepped care approach the antihypertensive management .One such loop diureticcalled as Furosemide is being regularly used in different stages of acute kidney injury and hypertension.Lowering the blood pressure is ultimately reducing the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Thesideeffects of diuretics are dose dependent. The intake of Furosemide will bring an increase in the creatininelevel.It must be noted that if the diuretics are been taken for prolong usage, it might over-stress the functionof kidney which will result in sodium resorption increase and elevation of creatinine levels.Material and Method: Twenty hypertensive patients in the age range of 40 to 76 years old were subjectedto a treatment with furosemide(20mg/day) for a variable period of one to three years. The analysis of bloodsamples was being done against the serum creatinine following the colorimetric method. The results werestatistically processed and analyzed by SPSS using the T-test method.Results: The trial was runon the participants being either hypertensive patients or normal individuals. TheMean (+/-SD) of age was 59.4 +/- 10.3, mean (+/-SD) of duration of treatment with furosemide was 2.1 +/-0.7. Mean (+/-SD) of serum creatinine in the control individual was 0.9 +/- 0.22, and mean serum creatininein hypertensive patients treated with furosemide was 2.37 +/- 0.69. (P value < 0.05.)Conclusion: The diuretic Furosemide can increase thelevel of creatinine.Aim of the work: Determine the effect of diuretics (furosemide) on serum creatinine.

Epidural Cervical Hematoma in a Whiplash Cervical Injury: A Rare Condition
Authors: De Matteis A.  , Del Fante Z.  , Santoro P.  , Romano S  , Dell’Aquila M.
Published: March 2021

“Whiplash Injury” describes those injury deriving from the sharp whipping movement of both head andneck, produced at the moment of a traffic accident, particularly following collision from behind, head-on orside collisions. The use of safety belts has led to a reduction in deaths deriving from front-end collisions, butalso to an increase in cases of typical whiplash. There are two types of forces that cause whiplash injuries inrear-end car crashes: external forces applied to the body by the seat and head restraint, and internal forcesgenerated by the activation of body’s muscles. The combination of these forces causes differential motion ofthe cervical spine, which results in neck tissues’ strain. This event can affect all neck structures: facet jointscapsule, muscles, intervertebral disks, nerves and vessels. We report a case of a 68-year-old woman. Thesubject, while driving her car, hit head-on a car moving in the opposite direction and died immediately. Atautopsy the major findings were limited to multiple rib fractures and fracture of the fifth cervical vertebrawith epidural hematoma. This case demonstrates that, even in the absence of direct traumatism, a potentiallylethal epidural hematoma may occur as a result of whiplash.

Background: Gingival enlargement is one of the frequent features of gingival diseases. Inflammationof the gingival tissues can be induced by diverse method. All changes in gingival tissues express withsome degree of inflammation. In some cases, where gingival enlargement could be the primary sign ofpotentially lethal systemic diseases, a correct diagnosis of these enlargements could prove life saving forthe patient or at least initiate early treatment and improve the quality of life. Pertinent management dependson precisely diagnosing the origin of enlargement. The aim of publishing this case report is to present theclinical, histopathological features and treatment of inflammatory gingival enlargement which disturbed theaesthetics and masticatory function of the patient.Method: A 20 year old female patient reported with a chief complaint of swelling in the gums of teeth inlower front region. The enlargement was soft and friable and bleeding spontaneously making it difficult forthe patient to maintain adequate personal oral hygiene.
