Understanding Hypervolemia in Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors: Ainur Rofi'ah, M.Kep., Sp.Kep.M.B Ika Ainur Rofi'ah
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive and irreversible decline in kidney function and a decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). Decreased kidney function contributes to decreased water excretion and fluid overload caused by decreased GFR. A progressive decrease in GFR in renal disease leads to hypertension, sodium retention, and fluid overload. Discussion: CKD is kidney damage or also defined as a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of less than 60 ml/minute/1.73m2 that occurs for 3 months or more. CKD is most caused by Diabetes Mellitus 64.1% and Hypertension 80.7%. One clinical manifestation in patients with CKD is an increase in fluid volume (hypervolemia). Hypervolemia is one of the nursing problems in the nursing care process. Based on the Indonesian Nursing Diagnosis Standard Book, hypervolemia is an increase in intravascular, interstitial, and/or intracellular fluid volume. The etiology of hypervolemia in CKD patients is a regulatory mechanism disorder associated with decreased GFR. Signs and symptoms both major and minor in hypervolemia nursing problems show that most patients have peripheral oedema of 53.8%, the prevalence of anemia is 52.3%, the prevalence of Haemoglobin 7-10 mg/dl is 68.3%, and the prevalence of oliguria is 16.3%. One of the actual nursing diagnosis in patients with CKD is hypervolemia related to the disturbance of regulatory mechanisms (a decrease in GFR). A progressive decrease in GFR can lead to sodium and fluid retention which causes fluid balance disturbances.

Sensors Based Wearable Device for Hemophilia Patients in Programmed Sports Therapy
Authors: Vaishnave P. J. , Shyamala G. , Rajalaxmi S.
Published: July 2023

Hemophilia is a genetic disorder where internal bleeding occurs at the joints like knee, ankle, elbow, shoulder, hip etc. This internal bleeding is due to a defect in clotting factors. Tibio-femoral joint is more prone to the disorder. Total knee replacement is a safe and proven surgical procedure for hemophiliacs. After the surgery, the ‘World Federation of Hemophilia’ suggests a programmed sports therapy. The exercises are done once after the bleeding have stopped. If any bleed occurs during therapy, the exercise must be stopped as it induces infection. As a result, deformity and stiffness occur in muscles. Due to stiffness, the patient’s position is so that he applies more force on the toes. An improved wearable device is proposed which will measure the range of bending in knee joint, measure the force applied at the toes against the ground and measure the position of the joint while the person does the sports therapy exercises. The proposed work will inform the change in positions and related measurements to physician’s mobile phone via IoT. With this proposed wearable device, the physician could monitor the patient’s status from any place with the help of the internet. The usage of the proposed device in the knee joint will eradicate 97.6% of issues faced by the Hemophilia patients as they are unaware of the bleeding condition because of their wrong positions.

Authors: Alhelf Maha , Rashed Laila , Doss R. W. , Mohamed Sahar M. , Abd Elazeem Naglaa Adly)
Published: July 2023

Background

Psoriasis (PsO) is an immune-mediated dermatosis and systemic inflammatory condition that can affect the skin, joints, and other organs and tissues with a range of comorbidities. The activation of proinflammatory cytokines is the primary cause of the development of skin lesions in PsO. Patients with PsO have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular metabolic comorbidities; among these is the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Particularly, MetS is characterized by abdominal obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia, has been linked to PsO. The connection between PsO and MetS is believed to be caused by PsO generating systemic inflammation, which then results in elevated inflammatory adipokines, endothelial dysfunction, and insulin resistance. Micro RNA-377 and long noncoding RNA taurine upregulated 1 (TUG1) are both involved in the control of a variety of inflammatory disorders in humans and can be employed as biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of psoriasis. The aim of the present study is to establish a panel of biomarkers for the early diagnosis of MetS incidence in psoriasis and thereby, reducing its lethal consequences.

Results

In this study, 120 patients: 40 psoriatic patients, 40 psoriatic patients with metabolic syndrome, and 40 healthy subjects were conducted. Expressions of Long noncoding RNA Taurine Upregulated Gene-1 (TUG1), miRNA-377 and Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) were assessed in tissue lesion by real-time PCR. ELISA technique was carried out for the detection of serum levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and transforming growth factor β (TGFβ). Moreover, miRNA-377 expression was significantly elevated with the simultaneous down-regulation of both TUG-1 and PPAR-γ in PsO-MetS group when compared to those of PsO and control groups. Furthermore, PAI-1 and TGFβ levels were higher in PsO-MetS than PsO.

Conclusions

The dysregulated levels of TUG-1, miRNA-377, PPAR-γ, PAI-1, and TGFβ, biomarkers may provide information about their potential role in the emergence of MetS in psoriasis patients.
Piękno, świat i moment. Estetyczne tło polityki Hannah Arendt w interpretacji Jima Josefsona.

Published: July 2023

Artykuł analizuje estetyczną formę polityki Hannah Arendt w interpretacji Jima Josefsona. Zdaniem autora „Hannah Arendt’s Aesthetic Politics: Freedom and the Beautiful” - filozofka  poszukiwała swego własnego „transcendentnego momentu” (der Augenblick) i w celu zidentyfikowania go analizowała prace takich myślicieli jak: Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Jaspers, Heidegger, Kafka, Benjamin. Przemyślana krytyka każdego z powyższych nurtów pozwoliła jej sformułować własną koncepcję określoną przez Josefsona mianem „momentu estetycznego”. Wyodrębniając „wolność piękna”, jako trzecią twarz wolności na równi ze znanymi czytelnikom Arendt wolnością działania i umysłu, amerykański filozof w swej książce skupia się na wykazaniu, jak ta wolność, zakorzeniona w fenomenologii Jaspersa i niemetafizycznym odczytaniu Kanta, ma posłużyć za antidotum na wyobcowanie ze świata, które jego zdaniem, jest tematem spajającym wszystkie prace Arendt.

A test-Accelerator as Coherent Terahertz Source (t-ACTS) has been under development at Tohoku University, in which an intense coherent terahertz radiation is generated from the short electron bunches. Velocity bunching scheme in a traveling wave accelerating structure is employed to generate the short electron bunches. The in-phase and quadrature (IQ) modulator and demodulator were installed to the low-level RF systems of t-ACTS linac to control and measure the amplitude and phase of RF power. The amplitude and phase of the RF power applied to an RF electron gun cavities and the accelerating structure are controlled to produce the electron bunches with a uniform and small momentum spread suitable for the velocity bunching. By installing the feed-forward control system using IQ modulators for the beam conditioning, we have successfully generated flat RF pulses and improved beam quality, including the energy spectrum of the beam. The details of feed-forward control system of the amplitude and phase using the IQ modulator and the beam experiments are presented in this paper.

Background

To evaluate the feasibility and clinical effect of the suture anchor combined with external fixation in the treatment of the lateral femoral condyle Hoffa fracture.

Methods

In this study, a retrospective study was conducted to analyze the feasibility of treating fourteen patients (eight men and six women) with Hoffa fractures admitted to our Hospital from January 2016 to October 2021 with combined external fixation using incisional reduction anchor nailing. The age of the patients ranged from 23 to 45 years, with an average of 37.5 years. According to Letenneur’s classification, there were eight cases of type I, three cases of type II, and three cases of type III. The functional assessment of Letenneur was used to measure the clinical outcome.

Results

All patients had one-stage wound healing, and all patients were followed up for 12 to 18 months after surgery, and all fractures healed well, with normal knee flexion and extension activities, and no complications such as fracture displacement, anchor nail loosening, or fracture malunion were observed. The clinical outcome was evaluated according to the functional evaluation criteria of Letenneur et al. The clinical outcome of fourteen patients: excellent in thirteen cases and good in one case, with an overall excellent rate of 100%.

Conclusions

Our study results indicate that the use of anchor nailing combined with external fixation for Hoffa fractures of the femoral condyle has some clinical reference significance because it is less invasive, has fewer complications, does not require secondary removal, and is worthy of clinical application.

Abstract. Muryani E, Sajidan, Budiastuti MTS, Pranoto. 2023. Diversity and potential of herbaceous plants as mercury (Hg) hyperaccumulators in small-scale gold mining sites in Pancurendang, Banyumas, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 3378-3386. Plants resistant to mercury can be used as an alternative to processing gold mining waste with the phytoremediation method. The study aimed to inventory herbaceous plant species in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sites in Pancurendang Village (Banyumas, Central Java, Indonesia), measure mercury concentrations in plants and root zones, and analyze the potential of herbaceous plants as mercury (Hg) hyperaccumulators. Herbaceous plants were cataloged by purposive sampling with multiple quadrats of 2m x 2m in 14 locations and then analyzed to obtain density, frequency, dominance, importance value, and diversity index. Biomass and Hg concentrations were measured from selected herbaceous plants and soil samples of the root zone. The Biological Accumulation Coefficient (BAC) was calculated to determine the plants' potential as Hg hyperaccumulators. Plant inventory identified 54 herbaceous plant species belonging to 26 families, with Paspalum conjugatum P.J.Bergius being the dominant species. In the root zones, Hg was found at 11-73 ppm and 7.6-85.36 ppm in 19 species. Ipomea aquatica Forssk. accumulated the highest concentration (85.36 ppm) and absorbed the greatest amount of Hg (5.25 mg). Based on their BACs, the nineteen species were categorized into moderate to high (hyper) accumulators, with Plectranthus sp. having the highest BAC of 4.54.

Abstract. Bintoro G, Sutjipto DO, Lelono TD, Semedi B, Sartimbul A, Wahyuni MT. 2023. Sustainable economic analysis and length weight relationship of Bullet Tuna (Auxis rochei) fishery in east area of Bali Strait, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 3528-3535. Bullet tuna (Auxis rochei) is a small pelagic fish with an important economic value and is mainly caught by fishermen in the east area of Bali Strait, Indonesia. The high market demand for this fish has increased fishing efforts to achieve maximum catch, and this uncontrolled fishing activity will threaten its sustainability and economic potential. This study was conducted to determine stock status both biologically and economically. The length-weight relationship was calculated by measuring the length and weight of 1,200 samples of fish landed in the Pengambengan Archipelago Fishing Port (AFP) in Jembrana Bali Province from February to March 2020. The calculation of maximum sustainable yield (MSY), maximum economic yield (MEY), and equilibrium of open access (OA) were done by using secondary catch data from 2008 to 2019. Gordon Schaefer’s model analysis found that the values of YMSY and fMSY were 3,314 tonnes year-1 and 3,503 trips year-1, respectively. While the values of YMEY and fMEY were 3,160 tonnes year-1 and 2,750 trips year-1, respectively, which gave a maximum profit of about 1.4 billion USD year-1. In addition, the equilibrium of OA would be achieved when the fishing effort reaches 5,500 trips year-1 and the amount of catch reaches 2,237 tons year-1. The growth pattern of the bullet tuna was isometric, which indicates that the bullet tuna in the east area of Bali Strait has a proportional body shape. The utilization status of bullet tuna (A. rochei) is over-exploited.

Published: July 2023

This research investigates and reports on the usage of plastic granules in place of coarse aggregate while constructing concrete cubes and cylinders. Concrete cubes and cylinders made of plastic granules were hand cast, and the concrete's strength was then empirically assessed in terms of split tension and compression. It has been discovered that the compression and split tension strengths of plastic-replaced concrete can be on par with those of ordinary concrete. The current analysis focuses on concrete mixes that have plastic granules (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%) partially replacing the coarse aggregate, which will help reduce the structure's dead weight. This mix, in the form of cubes and cylinders, was subjected to compression and split tension to ascertain the strength parameter. Therefore, using plastic granules for creating concrete is not only advantageous but also useful for getting rid of plastic trash.

Pri oblikovanju otvorenih prostora za djecu potrebno je obratiti pažnju na odabir biljnih vrsta koje za njih ne smiju biti opasne. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je inventarizirati dendrološku floru na igralištima dječjih vrtića na području gradske četvrti Trešnjevka – sjever te utvrditi zastupljenost otrovnih biljnih vrsta. Istraživanje je provedeno u 13 dječjih vrtića s igralištima. Otrovne drvenaste vrste bile su prisutne na svim analiziranim lokacijama te su obuhvaćale 40% drvenastih vrsta. Ukupno je utvrđeno 29 otrovnih drvenastih vrsta među kojima kao osobito opasne valja izdvojiti lovorvišnju (Prunus laurocerasus L.), koja je zabilježena u ukupno sedam vrtića, i tisu (Taxus baccata L.), koja je zabilježena u jednom vrtiću. Rezultati su pokazali da je na prostorima dječjih vrtića prisutan velik broj otrovnih vrsta što sugerira da se pri krajobraznom uređenju prostora dječjih vrtića nedovoljno uzima u obzir potencijalna opasnost koju neke ukrasne biljne vrste mogu predstavljati po zdravlje i sigurnost djece.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: Cardiovascular events are one of the main long-term complications in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) receiving treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The proper choice of TKI and the adequate management of risk factors may reduce cardiovascular comorbidity in this population.

Methods: This study evaluated the cardiovascular risk of a cohort of patients with CML at diagnosis and after follow-up in a specialized cardiovascular risk consultation. In order to do this, we performed data analysis from 35 patients who received TKIs and were referred to the aforementioned consultation between 2015 and 2018 at our center. Cardiovascular risk factors were analyzed separately, as well as integrated into the cardiovascular SCORE, both at diagnosis and at the last visit to the specialized consultation.

Results: At the time of diagnosis, 60% had some type of risk factor, 20% had a high or very high risk SCORE, 40% had an intermediate risk, and 40% belonged to the low risk category. During follow-up, the main cardiovascular adverse event observed was hypertension (diagnosed in 8 patients, 23%). 66% of patients quit smoking, achieving control of blood pressure in 95%, diabetes in 50%, weight in 76%, and dyslipidemia in 92%. 5.7% of patients suffered a thrombotic event and a significant percentage of patients showed a reduction in their SCORE.

Conclusion: Our study shows the benefit of controlling cardiovascular risk factors through follow-up in a specialized consultation for patients with CML treated with TKI.
