Published: September 2024

The goal of this work is to perform a thorough investigation of the incidence, death and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) rates of breast cancer (BC) in local, regional, and worldwide contexts. It examines how variations in breast cancer incidence, death rates and DALYs are caused by elements including socioeconomic position, cultural norms and beliefs. Data were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease study 2019) and were calculated to quantify temporal trends in the age-standardized rates of BC incidence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) by region. From 1990 to 2019, the BC incidence, deaths, and DALYs increased worldwide by 128%, 84%, and 77%, respectively. The global age-standardized incidence rate increased, whereas both the age-standardized death rate and age-standardized DALY rate presented downward trends. In particular, Western Europe had the largest burden of BC, and globally, BC was more frequently reported in high-middle and high SDI regions. Expanding upon this thorough examination, the article suggests a range of focused, empirically supported tactics aimed at enabling healthcare decision-makers, physicians, and community leaders. Future BC preventive strategies should therefore focus on addressing the global health challenge of breast cancer, aiming to improve survival rates globally through the three pillars of health promotion, timely presentation and diagnosis, and comprehensive treatment and supportive care.

Published: September 2024

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a lung condition characterized by persistent and typically progressive respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. This disease is associated with an excessive chronic inflammatory response in the airways and lung parenchyma due to exposure to harmful gases or particles. The objective of this study is to evaluate the changes in oxygen saturation and activity tolerance in COPD patients before and after performing home-based walking exercises, pursed lips breathing, and effective coughing. The research method used a descriptive design in the form of a case report with a nursing process approach. The instruments used included assessment sheets and oximetry to measure oxygen saturation. The study subjects were patients with COPD. The results showed that before the intervention, the patient's (Mrs. E) oxygen saturation was 96%, and she reported difficulty engaging in activities due to fatigue and shortness of breath. After three days of intervention, her oxygen saturation increased to 99%, and she was able to perform outdoor activities without experiencing shortness of breath. In conclusion, home-based walking exercises, pursed lips breathing, and effective coughing can improve oxygen saturation, increase activity tolerance, and reduce dyspnea and fatigue

. Pharmacogenomics, the science that combines genetics with pharmacology, plays a vital role in determining the optimal dosage of drugs for patients, especially those with chronic diseases. In Indonesia, the use of pharmacogenomic approaches is still limited even though the genetically diverse population requires more personalized dosage adjustments. This study aims to analyze the effect of genetic variation on drug response in patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, in Indonesia. By collecting and analyzing genetic data and patient clinical data, this study will identify genetic biomarkers associated with drug metabolism and therapeutic effectiveness. The results of this study are expected to provide guidance for more accurate and personalized drug dosage determination, which will ultimately improve therapeutic outcomes and reduce the risk of side effects. This study is also expected to encourage wider adoption of pharmacogenomic approaches in clinical practice in Indonesia, as part of the effort towards more personalized and effective medicine.

В работе обсуждены причины и последствия вскрытия продуктивных пластов в условиях аномально высоких пластовых давлений. Рассмотрено применение различных материалов утяжелителей для достижения необходимого высокого значения плотности бурового раствора – не только традиционно применяемым баритовым утяжелителем, но и карбонатным утяжелителем для обеспечения более качественного вскрытия продуктивных пластов. Предложен способ комбинированного применения карбонатного и баритового утяжелителей, предполагая условия кислотной обработки призабойной зоны пласта при освоении скважины. По нашему предположению взаимодействие при этом карбонатного утяжелителя с соляной кислотой может способствовать очищению призабойной зоны пласта также от частиц баритового утяжелителя. Представлены сравнительные результаты лабораторных исследований по оценке эффективности использования метода комбинированного утяжеления бурового раствора кислоторастворимыми и некислоторастворимыми реагентами по сравнению с отдельно проведенными экспериментальными исследованиями буровых растворов, утяжеленых карбонатным и баритовым утяжелителями. Предложен способ определения эффективности комбинированного способа утяжеления бурового раствора посредством определения изменения количества твердой фазы в фильтрационной корке и фильтрате бурового раствора в результате кислотной обработки.

The paper examines the causes and consequences of penetrating pay zones under abnormally high reservoir pressures. The use of various materials of weighting agents to achieve the required high mud weight is considered - not only the traditionally used barite weighting agent, but carbonate weighting agent to ensure better penetration of productive formations. Disclosed is a method for combined use of carbonate and barite weighting agents, involving conditions for acid treatment of the bottom-hole formation zone during well development. According to our assumption, the interaction of carbonate weighting agent with hydrochloric acid in this case may contribute to the cleaning of the bottomhole zone of the formation also from particles of barite weighting agent. Comparative results of laboratory studies are presented to assess the effectiveness of using the method of combined weighting of drilling mud with acid-soluble and non-acid-soluble reagents in comparison with separately conducted experimental studies of drilling muds weighted with carbonate and barite weighting agents. Disclosed is a method of determining efficiency of a combined method of weighting drilling mud by determining change in the amount of solid phase in the filter cake and filtrate of drilling mud as a result of acid treatment.
