Comparison Analysis Of Cost And Time In Situ Concrete Implementation Method With Pre Cast
Authors: Purba Andrew Samuel Erionkita
Published: March 2022

In the implementation of construction projects, there are several methods of concrete implementation used, such as in situ concrete which is carried out in the implementation of casting at the project site so that it takes a long time and quite a lot of formwork. In addition, there is also a method of implementing pre-cast concrete which is basically the same as conventional concrete, but the production process is carried out in a special place for pre-cast production and then brought to the project site and installed into concrete to form a unified structure. So it doesn't take too long and is considered more efficient. This study aims to compare the cost and time of implementing in situ and pre-cast concrete methods on one of the bridge abutments of the Kuala Tanjung Multi Purpose Terminal Project using the data obtained in the form of image data, material prices, wages and equipment. And from the results of the calculation analysis, the results of the method of implementing concrete on one of the bridge abutments are that with in situ concrete it takes 7 days to implement with a total cost of Rp. 807,867,550, - and with pre cast concrete it takes 5 days to implement total cost Rp.612,345,190,-. So from this study, it was found that the comparison method for the implementation of pre-cast concrete was more efficient with a cheaper price comparison of Rp. 195.552.360, - and 2 days faster time for the work of one bridge abutment.

Authors: Ginting Andi Gunanta
Published: March 2022

The rapid development of communication technology in wireless communication has led to an increase in technologies related to wireless communication. The WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) network is one example of a network that continues to experience developments in the wireless communication technology. One of the WLAN network configurations is an ad hoc network. Different protocols, data transmission in an ad hoc WLAN will also experience differences in performance. This final project examines the use of three (2) transport protocols, namely TCP and UDP with their use in WLAN with ad hoc networks and the encryption decryption process to determine the percentage comparison of the success of packet delivery. To analyze the comparison of the three transport protocols on an ad hoc network, the Network Simulator 2 (NS-2) application which is integrated into the Ubuntu operating system and algorithms used such as arcfour, rijndael-192 and tripledes is used. The results showed that the percentage of successful data transmission on TCP was greater with an average of 99.318% on the arcfour algorithm, 99.185% on the rijndael-192 algorithm, 99.132% on the tripledes algorithm. While the percentage of success in sending data on UDP is smaller with an average of 70.711% on the arcfour algorithm, 63.971% on the rijndael-192 algorithm, 64.412% on the tripledes algorithm.
Study Of The Effect Of Addition Of Butone Granular Asphalt 5/20 On Marshall Characteristics Of Hot Mix Asphalt AC-WC
Authors: Batubara M. Iqbal Zaihan
Published: March 2022

As buton product that is currently being developed is Asbuton type BGA or called Buton Granular Asphalt which has bitumen content between 20-25% (Puslitbang Prasarana Transport Dep.PU, 2005). BGA has been used in several locations but its use is considered not optimal, therefore the authors want to examine how the effect of variations in the level of addition of asbuton material on the performance of asphalt mixtures. In this study, testing was carried out in stages, starting with material testing consisting of aggregate testing (coarse, fine, filler), as well as asphalt property testing and BGA material testing. Then a mixture of Marshall test objects will be made to be tested. The mixed test method used is the Marshall method which will then produce parameter values ​​in the form of VFB (Void Filled Bitumen), Stability, Residual Stability, VIM (Void in Mix), VMA (Void Mineral Aggregate), flow, and MQ (Marshall Quotionent). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding variations in the use of BGA type 5/20 materials, namely 0%, 3% and 5% on Marshall characteristics of AC-WC hot asphalt mixture using the 2010 Binamarga Specification Revision 3. The results showed that the addition of Asbuton Item 5/20 significantly increased the value of stability, residual stability and MQ along with increasing levels of asbuton used, but did not significantly affect the value of VMA, VFB and Flow and concluded that the use of Asbuton BGA with a level of 3% has produced optimal results.

Published: March 2022

Background: Maps are important tools for geographic visualization of the state of the environment with respect to resources as well as to hazards. One of the hazards is indoor radon (Rn), believed to be the most important cause of lung cancer after smoking. In particular, as part of Rn mitigation policy and in compliance with the European Basic Safety Standards, EU Member States have to declare areas with elevated indoor Rn concentration levels. However, as this is done by national authorities according to individually chosen criteria, the resulting maps are not easily comparable.

Objective: We aim to identify causes for the lack of compatibility of maps and suggest solutions for the problem.

Design: This study draws from experiences of recent research projects, literature, and personal involvement of the authors in the discussions.

Results: An overview is given on causes and effects of lack of compatibility between maps. Existing experiences are reported. Options for defining lack of compatibility and for identifying it are discussed. Methods for harmonization, that is, remediating lack of compatibility, are addressed.

Conclusions: The difficulty of harmonization increases with the aggregation level of data which support maps. Harmonization is the more difficult, the higher aggregated the data are which support maps. In particular, harmonization of radon priority area maps is technically non-trivial, and theoretical efforts as well as practical tests will have to be undertaken.

Authors: Trevisi Rosabianca , Leonardi Federica , Buresti Giuliana , Cianfriglia Michele , Cinelli Giorgia , Grubes Valeria , Heinrich Thomas , Holmgren Olli , Salvi Francesco , Seri Emiliano , Bossew Peter
Published: March 2022

Background: According to 2013 European Basic Safety Standards (EU BSS), legal and administrative consequences of having an area declared as radon priority area (RPA) concern workplaces (WP) and public buildings, as well as dwellings (DW). However, RPAs in many cases are defined as higher levels of indoor radon in DW. The reason is that most data are available for DW. So far, indoor radon data for WP (except for schools) and public buildings are scarce.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare indoor radon levels in DW and WP in a given area and to evaluate whether they have different distributions and different average levels.

Design: Austria, Finland, Germany, and Italy provided indoor radon data on DW and WP.

Data related to WP were aggregated in the same grid, as already done for data on DW, to update the European Indoor Radon Map. Based on 10 km × 10 km grid cells, the same statistics are computed for both datasets. Thus, two structurally equal datasets for each country were generated to be statistically compared.

Results and conclusions: Generally, there are numerous indoor radon data on DW than data on WP. Statistical analysis suggests that in all the countries, indoor radon levels – in terms of arithmetic mean (AM) of the natural logarithm-transformed data – in WP and DW are statistically different (P < 0.05), as well as from those referring to schools. The difference in distributions is neither attributable to the effect of geology nor to the effect of different sample sizes.

The correlation between aggregated data is positive in the sense that if the mean (over grid cells) radon concentration increases in DW, it increases in WP as well. Compared with DW, in all countries indoor radon levels in WP seem to be statistically different, but the results are not enough to draw final conclusions: on-purpose designed surveys could be a useful tool to better understand this phenomenon.
Radon mapping in Piedmont (North-West Italy): a radio-geo-lithological approach
Authors: Chiaberto Enrico , Falletti Paolo , Magnoni Mauro
Published: March 2022

Background: In this work a radon mapping method implemented in Piedmont, an Italian Region in the Northern part of the country, is presented and discussed.

Methods: The method is based on a “mixed approach”, combining together an experimental approach, based on a large set of experimental radon measurements performed with nuclear track detectors, and an empirical model, based on the geo-lithological characteristics of soils and rocks. This approach was named as “radio-geo-lithological” because the identification of geo-lithological units was defined considering not only the usual geological classification of the territory but also the radioactivity content of the most widespread rocks and soils of Piedmont.

Results and Conclusion: This method allowed to classification of all municipalities of Piedmont (1181), thus permitting the identification of the Radon Priority Areas, a provision required by the new Italian law (Legislative Decree 101/2020), implementing the European Basic Safety Standards (Euratom Directive 59/2013).
Mechanical properties and dislocation dynamics in β-Ga2O3
Authors: Yamaguchi Hirotaka , Watanabe Shinya , Yamaoka Yu , Koshi Kimiyoshi , Kuramata Akito
Published: March 2022

The mechanical and dislocation properties of β-Ga2O3 were investigated. Vickers indentations were used to make fractures on the (010)-, (001)-, and (2̅01)-oriented substrates. Sharp cracks along the (100) and (001) planes were observed near the impressions on the (010)-oriented substrate. The cracks were identified as cleavages on the planes, which were parallel to the indentation load. The Vickers hardness was smaller for the (010)-oriented substrate than for the (001)- and (2̅01)-oriented substrates, indicating that the indentation flow activated the cleavages. The small Vickers hardness for the (010)-substrate suggested that the (010) surface is fragile. Dislocation evolution in the (001)-plane was also caused by heat treatment after the indentations were made. This observation indicated that the dislocations were formed by slips on the (001) plane, which suggested that the (001) plane is a slip plane in this material.

CAUDAL MIGRATION AND TRANS-ANAL EXTRUSION OF VENTRICULOPERITONEAL SHUNT IN A CHILD : A CASE REPORT
Authors: Ghosh Arijit , Dasgupta Sibaji , Midha Jitesh
Published: March 2022

Ventriculo-peritoneal shunts are one of the commonest
surgical procedures performed in neurosurgery for diversion
of cerebrospinal uid for hydrocephalus. Excess amount of
cerebrospinal uid is drained unidirectionally from
obstructed ventricular cavities into the peritoneum in the
management of hydrocephalus. VP shunt sometimes causes
complications. Complications can be mechanical (
obstruction, disconnection and migration ) or non mechanical
(infection and distal compartment related like pseudocyst
1,2 formation , ascites and pleural effusion). Migration can be
dened as translocation of the part/ whole of the shunt system
(proximal/ distal catheter / reservoir/ valves ) from the
compartment where it was intended to be to a new
compartment which may be associated with/ without shunt
dysfunction. In general, a caudal migration is more common
3 than a cranial migration. Bowel perforation caused by the
ventriculo-peritoneal shunt is a rare occurrence with an
estimated incidence rate of 0.1% to 1.0% among all cases of
VP shunt displacement. Perforation of the bowel wall by VP
shunt is a surgical emergency. Awareness and early
recognition of this complication are essential because of the
4
high mortality rate in such patients. In this present case
report, a 5 year olds male child presented with anal protrusion
of VP shunt with fever and signs of shunt malfunction. Early
diagnosis and treatment of this complication is essential to
minimize or prevent infectious and neurological consequences

Snake bite is signicant avoidable and treatable health hazard. specially in farmers plantation workers
leading to signicant morbidity and mortality. Renal failure is common all poisoning from snakes mostly
due to Viperidae species of snakes. The rst sign of renal failure is oliguria and anuria This acute renal failure is largely a
preventable complication. So, the patients with snake bite should be hospitalized and monitored for early detection of renal
complications. Early treatment improves survival in these patients. This study is an attempt to analyze the clinical prole of
snake bite patients and evaluation of outcome in Acute Renal Failure in them. This study will be a case control study conducted
on 100 patients who are satisfying the inclusion & exclusion criteria. ARF occurred in 39% of snake bite patients with overall
mortality of 3% and average hospital stay of 5.62±1.57 Snake bite patients developing coagulopathy are more prone to develop
ARF. Snake bite patients presented with cellulitis as local manifestation are at increased risk to develop ARF. In ARF
complicated cases, Dialysis & supporting therapy appears to be the mainstay of treatment. Clinical outcome depends on
optimum ASV dosage which is variable, depending on the type of snake, type of envenomation, organ system involved &
supportive care offered.

Authors: Choudhary Nidhi , K Suseela , N- Lavanya , P Sujatha
Published: March 2022

Background: Liquid-based cytology (LBC) was developed as an alternative to conventional cytology
screening to improve specimen adequacy and sensitivity in detecting cervical abnormalities. High risk
HPV (HR HPV) types 16 and 18 are responsible for about 70% of all cervical cancer cases worldwide.
Objectives: This study aimed (1) to compare the diagnostic efciency of liquid based cytology LBC and conventional tests in
detecting cervical dysplasia and (2) detection of high risk HR HPV types 16 and 18 in cervical precursor lesions using liquid
based cytology samples.
Methods: A prospective comparative study was conducted from the year August 2014 – February 2019 at Basavatarakam
Indoamerican Cancer Hospital and Research Institute, Hyderbad.A total of 200 women undergoing screening for cervical
cancer were included in the study. HR-HPV 16 & 18 detection was done by Nested Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction
(NMPCR).
Results: The area under the ROC curve for conventional Pap smear was 0.725 and LBC was 0.974, showing that the diagnostic
accuracy of LBC method in diagnosing precursor lesions and carcinoma of cervix is better than the conventional Pap smear
method. HR-HPV 16/18 were positive in 43/102 (42.2%) of cases. HPV 16 alone was positive in 32/43(74.4%), HPV 18 alone in 6/43
(13.9%) and both HPV-16 and HPV-18 were positive in 5/43 (11.6%) of the total HR-HPV positive cases.
Conclusion: The detection rate of epithelial abnormalities and infections in LBC preparation was better than CPS. LBC
samples can be used for HR-HPV genotype detection to explore new paradigms of screening strategies.

Published: March 2022

INTRODUCTIONAsthma is a chronic inammatory disease that usually begins at the early stages of life. The recurrent attacks of breathlessness
and wheezing are characteristics of asthma and the severity of the signs varies from one person to another.
AIM This study aimed to evaluate the most factors affecting control of asthma among child patients seen in public health and its relation to ER
visits and admission.
Patients and methods This is a cross-sectional study conducted among children who had a documented diagnosis of bronchial asthma conrmed
by the le obtained from the Ministry of Health, Armed Forces Hospital, and King Fahad University Hospital in Dammam and Alkhobar. A selfadministered questionnaire was distributed among study subjects and written informed consent was explained to the parents. Asthma Control Test
(ACT) questionnaire was used to measure the level of asthma control.
RESULTS 119 children with asthma were able to recruit (50.4% males vs 49.6% females). The most commonly used for the treatment of asthma
was inhalers (93.3%) specically Ventolin (64%) while the proportion of patients who were using nebulizers at home was 40.3%. Uncontrolled
asthma was found among 25.2% and low adherence to medication was found among 84.9%. There was an inverse signicant correlation being
observed between asthma control score and medication adherence score (r=-518; p<0.001). Factors associated with uncontrolled asthma were a
history of allergy, 2 times or less admission to hospital, and the use of nebulizers at home.
CONCLUSIONWhile one-fourth of children had uncontrolled asthma, however, their adherence to medication was low. Children with a previous
history of allergy, those with increased hospital admission, and those who were using nebulizers at home had an increased risk of uncontrolled
asthma.

Published: March 2022

The assumption in this article is that Syria by reason of its history, location, resources, ethnic and socio-religious composition, cannot but be a candidate of International politics and intrigues. It is therefore not surprising that the country became the quintessential trouble-spot in the Middle East. For us to truly appreciate the importance of the factors mentioned above, it is necessary that we once again go into history in order to locate the remote causes of the crisis in Syria. Furthermore, the social and political contexts of the crisis are examined, but more importantly, the involvement of external interests and the implications for regional, as well as global peace and security. The article concludes after examining the myriad of and machinations of external interests by stating that the emerging reality is that both the western powers as well as opposing global powers, and the Government of Syria will have to find some way of eliciting a negotiated settlement that does not necessarily satisfy the objectives of the major external actors. Resolving the crisis and its consequences for global peace and security supersedes all other interests at this stage
CLIMATE CHANGE, INSURGENCY AND LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE NIGER DELTA: AN ANATOMY OF POST-AMNESTY PROGRAMME
Authors: AKINOLA SAMSON R. , ODULU AMOS IKOGI
Published: March 2022

This paper used the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework in tandem with Political Economy Approach (PEA) to analyse the missing links in the Post-Amnesty Programme of the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN). The study collected data from six of 42 communities in Ogbia Local Government Area (LGA), Bayelsa State, Niger Delta region of Nigeria, while some ex-militants, sampled household heads were interviewed. Stratified random sampling method was used in collecting data from 210 houses in the selected communities. Findings confirmed that government concentrates more on ex-militants alone than paying attention to the fundamental causes of insurgency. While the Amnesty Programme has yielded some positive results, the problems and challenges that triggered violence, insecurity and economic loss in the Niger Delta are yet to be given adequate attention. Since resumption of violence, insurgency and vandalism are known for reducing community resilience in the areas of food production, environment, economic capacity of citizen’s negligence in addressing critical issues in the region will further expose the citizens to greater impact of climate induced disaster. In the light of this exigency, this paper designs post-Amnesty plan and Programmes that can ensure economic empowerment, employment, poverty reduction, people-centred development and peace-building in the region. Thereafter the paper adopts a Niger-Delta Post-Amnesty Development Model (NDPADM) for the entrenchment of concrete inclusive environmental frameworks and self-governance structures in the Deltan polity so as to generate people-centred development, and thus consolidate the gains of disarmament.

Authors: Santizo René , Martinez Hansy , Ruyan Abner
Published: March 2022

El angiofibroma nasofaríngeo juvenil es una neoplasia benigna de la nasofaringe que representa el 0.5% de todos los tumores de cabeza y cuello, y ocurre en 1 de cada 150,000 personas. Aunque histológicamente benigno, a menudo muestra características agresivas con invasión local en los cornetes nasales, el tabique nasal y la lámina pterigoidea medial. Suele extenderse hacia la cavidad nasal, la nasofaringe y la fosa pterigopalatina, con lesiones más grandes que se extienden hacia los senos esfenoidal, maxilar y etmoidal.

Objetivo: Describir la experiencia en el tratamiento quirúrgico del Angiofibroma Nasofaringeo Juvenil sin taponamiento nasal posterior

Material y Métodos: se consulto la base de datos de pacientes con diagnostico histopatológico de angiofibroma nasofaríngeo juvenil que fueron tratados quirúrgicamente en el IGSS y HGSJ, se tomaron en cuenta las diferentes técnicas quirúrgicas utilizadas enfatizando en el taponamiento nasal posterior, el estadiaje y la edad

Resultados: Un total de 48 procedimientos quirúrgicos realizados, la mayoría entre 16-20 años (46%), el estadio IIIA fue el más frecuente (39.6%), no se utilizo taponamiento nasal en el 21%, el 8% no se utilizo taponamiento nasal ni ligadura de arteria carótida y en el 25% no se utilizo taponamiento nasal ni embolización.

Conclusión: El taponamiento nasal posterior puede no ser necesario en el tratamiento quirúrgico del angiofibroma nasofaríngeo juvenil, sin embargo, esto dependerá del conocimiento de la anatomía nasal, técnica quirúrgica y experiencia del cirujano.

Palabras clave: angiofibroma nasofaríngeo juvenil, taponamiento nasal posterior, embolización de arteria carótida.
Design of a Robust Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Transceiver for a Cognitive Radio Testbed
Authors: Bello N. , Edeko F.O.
Published: March 2022

Primarily, a Cognitive Radio (CR) resolves the problem of spectrum scarcity and underutilization. However, it should also attain a good throughput and Quality of Service (QoS) as its objectives. These requirements are solely dependent on the modulation used. Though single carrier modulations such as Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) are highly spectral efficient, they are not robust to frequency selective fading. An implementation of multicarrier modulation supports high spectral efficiency and resistance to multipath fading. Therefore, in this paper, there is a comprehensive how-to-guide of the design of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) in cognitive radio using GNU Radio (GR) 3.8 that interfaces with Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) B210s for video transmission. The implementation achieved allows for the choice of any modulation schemes out of four commonly used ones for communication of the payloads thus offering dynamism for use in a cognitive radio system. The effective implementation of the proposed methods in this paper is verified by the successful transmission and reception of a 4 minute 37 seconds MP4 video across the different choices of modulation schemes. It was observed that the error performance of the payloads degraded with higher constellation points however, the throughput was increased. Hence, the trade-off between error probability and throughput in the cognitive radio is based on the radio-scene metrics about the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the available channels.

     رافق التطور في مجال السياحة حاجة للترويج السياحي بغرض جذب الجماهير، ودفعهم إلى ممارسة نشاط سياحيّ في تلك المناطق المستهدفة، أي إنّ الهدف هو الطلب السياحي، وهنا كانت وسائله اعلامية يكون فيها المصمم الطباعيّ الدور الاساسيّ من خلال تصميم كلِّ متطلبات العمل الترويجيّ، وأولها تصميم الشعار الذي يمثل الهوية للمؤسسة السياحية.

    إنَّ تصميم الشعار في الغالب يعتمد على إثارة المشاعر المتلقي اذ يعد من اهم الوسائل في الإعلان السياحيّ, فضلًا عن أنَّ الشعار الدال للنشاط السياحيّ، وهو الهوية المميزة لأيِّ مشروع أو منشأة تجارية، وهو يعبر عن طبيعة وماهية هذه المنشأة، ويعطي لمحة عنها، وشعار الموقع أول ما يلفت نظر العميل أو زائر الموقع، حيث إنَّ الشعار كلما كان متميزاً ومتناسقاً مع طبيعة المنشأة، كلما كان له تأثير أكبر لدى الزبائن والعملاء.

  وبناءً على ما تقدم يأتي البحث (واقع تصميم الشعارات السياحية وعلاقتها بالبيئة المحلية) في فصلين تطرقت الباحثة في الفصل الاول إلى مشكلة البحث واهميته، وكذلك أهداف البحث، وهي:

أ - التعرف على تصاميم الشعارات العالمية

ب - التعرف بعلاقة القيم المحلية في تصميم الشعار.

L’œuvre de Marguerite Duras vue en Irak
Authors: Anwar Mohammed Dr. Sidad
Published: March 2022

L'écrivaine française Marguerite Duras, née en Indochine en 1914, est considérée comme l'un des écrivains dont les œuvres se distinguent par la nouveauté. Cela lui accorde une grande renommée depuis le début de ses écrits. Il est vrai que Duras n’était pas une théoricienne, mais certains l'a mise avec les romanciers du Nouveau Roman comme Alain Robbe-Grillet, Nathalie Sarraute et Michel Butor. D’autres critiques l’étudient  en fonction de la modernité qui caractérise ses œuvres littéraires.

Cette recherche étudie la réception des œuvres littéraires de Marguerite Duras en Irak. L'étude comprend une introduction au roman en Irak : ses ressources, son développement, et l'effet du roman étranger sur lui ainsi que le rôle de la traduction dans ce domaine. En effet, le roman est un genre littéraire récent en Irak et dans le monde arabe, par rapport à la poésie, le modèle connu par les arabes depuis longtemps.

L'essence de cette étude est d’aborder la réception des œuvres de Marguerite Duras en Irak notamment la majorité de ses romans ont été traduits en arabe. Cela mérite des recherches surtout qu’elle est l'écrivaine le plus réceptif parmi ses contemporains. L'étude explore non seulement ce qui a été écrit à propos de cette écrivaine, mais aussi aborde les facteurs d'attraction dans les œuvres de Duras pour le lecteur arabe. En outre, la recherche porte sur la critique des œuvres de Duras.

L'étude montre que l'ensemble de ce qui a été écrit sur Duras dans la langue arabe consiste à montrer les principaux traits de ses écrits et de sa popularité ainsi que son rôle dans le développement du roman moderne. De même, le lecteur arabe capture la modernité introduite par Duras sur l’écriture du roman du XXe siècle, en particulier dans ses œuvres postérieures ainsi que son style d’écriture appuyé sur des effets non verbaux tels que la musique, le cri et le silence.

Cependant, les avis sont variés concernant la nature des œuvres de Duras. Les études ont porté sur les sujets qu'elle a traités dans ses écrits comme l'amour, la liberté et la justice. Elle a fait usage de son autobiographie à être une matière de ses écrits. L'autre aspect qui distingue les œuvres de Duras est le style et le langage de son écriture : les critiques étaient d’accord que la simplicité de ses écrits n’était qu’apparente, produite par la brièveté de l’œuvre.

Published: March 2022

To date, COVID-19 still gives rise to a high mortality rate in Indonesia. The definitive therapy has yet to be found. However, some medications are said to be potential in subduing the infection, e.g. remdesivir. United States, Japan, and some countries in Europe had use remdesivir against severe COVID-19 infection. In Indonesia, no study has shown to discuss remdesivir therapy for severe COVID-19. This case series shows the first five remdesivir usages in severe COVID-19 patients in RSDC Wisma Atlet Kemayoran, Jakarta. In this retrospective case series, we include the first five severe COVID-19 patients that got remdesivir plus standard therapy in Rumah Sakit Darurat COVID-19 Wisma Atlet Kemayoran, Jakarta in October 2020. Five patients who got remdesivir in this case series experienced clinical and laboratory improvement. The ventilation and oxygenation status, as well as PF ratio and the neutrophils-lymphocytes ratio (NLR), got better. The possible side effect of remdesivir usage, renal function impairment, was not seen in these patients. At last, the five patients were discharged home with negative swab results, three until seven days after remdesivir therapy finished. Remdesivir therapy for COVID-19 in this case series is associated with a good outcome. Compassionate use of remdesivir should be considered in severe COVID-19. However, a bigger sample of randomized control trial needs to be done to show the effectiveness of remdesivir against COVID-19.
Endobronchial Tuberculosis: Diagnosis and Treatment Approach
Authors: Arliny Yunita , Mursalin Diennisa Shafira
Published: March 2022

Endobronchial tuberculosis (EBTB) is defined as tuberculosis (TB)infection of the tracheobronchial tract. Tracheal and bronchial involvement from TB infection was first reported by Morten in 1698. Endobronchial tuberculosis is a form of TB that is difficult to diagnose because the lesions are frequently undetectable by sputum examination and chest X-ray alone. Endobronchial tuberculosis is present in 10-40% of active TB patients and more than 90% of cases are accompanied by bronchial stenosis of various degrees. The main goal of therapy in active EBTB is to eradicate Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the tracheobronchial tract and further prevent stenosis. Complications of EBTB apart from airway stenosis are atelectasis, haemoptysis and shortness of breath accompanied by wheezing even after administration of anti-tuberculosis drugs (ATD).
