Authors: Kharseeva G. G. , Tyukavkina S. Yu. , Mironov A. Yu.
Published: December 2020

The problem of diphtheria infection remains relevant, since the circulation of toxigenic strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae persists in the body of bacterial carriers, despite ongoing vaccination. The lecture presents modern ideas about the properties of the pathogen, its pathogenicity factors (toxin, pili, surface proteins (67-72P (or DIP0733), DIP1281, etc.) and their role in the pathogenesis of the disease.. Information about the clinical and epidemiological characteristics and modern methods of laboratory diagnostics of diphtheria is presented. The algorithm of bacteriological research and methods for determining the toxigenic properties of the pathogen are described. The basics of diphtheria vaccination as the only effective means of preventing mass outbreaks of this disease are considered in the framework of the proposed lecture. Knowledge of the peculiarities of the circulation of strains of Corynebacterium diphtheria in modern conditions, pathogenetic and clinical-epidemiological features of diphtheria, as well as modern methods of laboratory diagnostics is important and necessary for students of medical schools and infectious diseases doctors, pediatricians, bacteriologists, therapists, pulmonologists, epidemiologists, etc.

The purpose of the work was to assess the state of bacteriological diagnosis of diphtheria infection in Russia in order to establish possible reasons for the decrease in the release of C. diphtheriae. The Reference Center for Monitoring the Pathogens of Measles, Rubella, Mumps, Pertussis and Diphtheria in 2018 in 85 subjects of Russia conducted a questionnaire of laboratories of medical organizations and the Centers for Hygiene and Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, carrying out bacteriological studies for diphtheria infection. It was found that the number of studies conducted over the five-year period decreased by 1.2 times. The tendency to decrease the number of bacteriological studies for diphtheria is observed in the territories of almost all federal districts. In 99% and 29% of cases, the institutions of the FBUZ Centers for Hygiene and Epidemiology and medical organizations (MO) and use in their work documents regulating bacteriological studies for diphtheria infection. In a number of territories, the list of documents used includes documents that are invalid or do not define such studies. Most organizations use dry tampons when examining for diphtheria, however, 13.1% and 53.4% of FBUZ Centers for Hygiene and Epidemiology and medical organizations (respectively) use commercial transport environments, which does not comply with regulatory documentation. Analysis of the quality of work of bacteriological laboratories showed shortcomings at the stage of preparation of media (use of donor blood, or absence of addition of blood and potassium tellurite), Elek tests (addition of horse serum or absence of serum to the medium), setting of incomplete biochemical series (absence of tests for urease and nitrate reductase), absence of standard control strains, incomplete volume of internal laboratory quality control. Given the continuing circulation of the pathogen in various countries of the world and in our country, as well as the possibility of imported cases of infection from endemic regions, the analysis was aimed at drawing the attention of specialists to the problem of improving the quality of laboratory diagnosis of diphtheria in Russia.

Published: December 2020

People with disabilities face problems, not only because of their specific impairments but because of social stigma. This article focuses on stigma as it relates to a broad range of physical, social, and behavioral characteristics, and on the effect of stigma on academic research. Effects examined here include decisions regarding the ways in which research questions are defined, what research is funded and how it is funded, the ways in which research is conducted (e.g., the use of community-based participatory research versus traditional approaches), the way in which publication decisions are made, and the way in which research is received by professional colleagues and the public.
Conflits Communautaires LiÃ©s Ã€ Lâ€™exploitation Du Patrimoine Forestier De Lâ€™Ã©tat : Lâ€™exemple De La ForÃªt ClassÃ©e De Goin-DÃ©bÃ© Dans Le DÃ©partement De Guiglo

En CÃ´te dâ€™Ivoire, les autoritÃ©s administratives ont mis en place des organes locaux pour faire face aux conflits ruraux. Mais, malgrÃ© ces organes locaux de prÃ©vention et de gestion de conflits, le dÃ©partement de Guiglo, Ã  lâ€™ouest de la CÃ´te dâ€™Ivoire, connait toujours des problÃ¨mes de violences liÃ©s Ã  lâ€™exploitation des ressources forestiÃ¨res. Ã€ partir de lâ€™exemple de la forÃªt classÃ©e de Goin-DÃ©bÃ©, la prÃ©sente Ã©tude analyse les fondements socio-culturels des conflits communautaires liÃ©s Ã  lâ€™exploitation agricole des domaines forestiers de lâ€™Ã‰tat, domaines pourtant interdits de toute exploitation agricole. FondÃ©e sur lâ€™approche qualitative, la mÃ©thodologie utilisÃ©e pour atteindre cet objectif a mobilisÃ© un ensemble dâ€™outils et de techniques de collecte de donnÃ©es rÃ©pondant Ã  cette approche, Ã  savoir la recherche documentaire, lâ€™enquÃªte par entrevue semi-dirigÃ©e rÃ©alisÃ©e auprÃ¨s des responsables administratifs, notamment le corps prÃ©fectoral et lâ€™administration forestiÃ¨re, les autoritÃ©s coutumiÃ¨res, les responsables des associations de jeunes et de femmes ainsi que les communautÃ©s Ã©trangÃ¨res, enfin lâ€™observation directe. Lâ€™analyse des donnÃ©es a montrÃ© quâ€™Ã  lâ€™origine, le laxisme de lâ€™Ã‰tat dans le contrÃ´le et la gestion de ces domaines forestiers a crÃ©Ã© un certain nombre de facteurs alimentant les conflits entre les communautÃ©s riveraines autochtones, allogÃ¨nes et allochtones.
In CÃ´te d'Ivoire, the administrative authorities have set up local bodies to deal with rural conflicts. But, despite the existence of local organisation for prevention and fighting against conflicts located in west of CÃ´te dâ€™Ivoire, the department of Guiglo faces all the times violence caused by the exploitation of natural. From an example of the classified forest of Goin-DÃ©bÃ©, this study analyzes the socio-cultural foundations of community conflicts linked to the agricultural exploitation of State forest estates, areas which are however prohibited from any agricultural exploitation. Based on the qualitative approach, the methodology used to achieve this objective mobilized a set of tools and data collection techniques responding to this approach, namely documentary research, the survey by semi-structured interview carried out among administrative officials (prefectural body and forestry administration), customary authorities, heads of youth and women's associations as well as foreign communities, and finally direct observation. Analysis of the data showed that the state's laxity in the control and management of these forest estates originally created a number of factors fueling conflicts between native, non-native and non-native riparian communities.

Published: December 2020

Soil degradation resulting from water erosion poses a serious threat to food and environmental security, therefore the research of soil erosion features and soil erosion mapping do not lose their relevance. The paper presents the results of large-scale digital mapping of the erosion degree of the arable soils in the Prokhorovsky district of the Belgorod region (85 thousand hectares), based on two approaches: (1) linking the factors of erosion-accumulative processes and the erosion degree of soil directly (factor -property model), and (2) due to imitation erosion model WaTEM/SEDEM (factor - process - property model). The inclusion of the process component into the digital soil mapping algorithm allows taking into account not only the spatial but also the temporal soil erosion features. It was revealed that the agricultural development of the Prokhorovsky district was primarily carried out on lands that are weakly prone to erosion, with the rate of erosion almost two times lower than on younger arable lands. As a result, the soil erosion maps, based on the factor - process - property model, with and without taking into account the duration of agricultural use, largely correspond to each other. Dominant soil categories (the map pixel corresponds to one soil taxa - noneroded and slightly eroded, medium, highly eroded), mapping by factor -property and factor - process - property models, have a high degree of correspondence to each other (prediction identity for 90% of pixels), while the soil combinations (the map pixel has information on the proportion of soils with different erosion degrees of soil) more significant (identity for less than 60% of pixels). The areas of zonal, erosion-zonal, and weakly eroded soil combinations differ 1.5-2 times, in the direction of a greater degree of soil erosion on the factor - process - property map.
Comparison of digital image analysis methods for morphometric characterization of soil aggregates in thin sections

Published: December 2020

The purpose of this study was to investigate the applicability of semiautomatic segmentation methods for obtaining and evaluating morphometric parameters of soil aggregates in artificially prepared loose samples in soil thin sections. The object of the research is typical arable Chernozem. The aggregates were separated by wet sieving method from loose sample of upper 10 cm of the plowing horizon after erosion by a model shallow water flow on a large erosion tray. The aggregates, loosely scattered on the glass and fixed with polyester resin, were used to produce the thin sections. Images of the thin sections were taken under a polarizing microscope and then were processed using two methods compared: Adobe Photoshop + CTan and Thixomet Pro. Data on morphometric parameters of aggregates were obtained: the shape factor, the degree of roundness and the coefficient of aggregate surface roughness. The convergence of the results obtained using Photoshop + CTan by three researchers was evaluated by comparing samples using the Student's test and the Mann-Whitney test. The convergence of the averaged results obtained using Photoshop + CTan and the results obtained using Thixomet Pro was evaluated using the Mann - Whitney test. No significant differences were found between the parameters of the same aggregates obtained using a combination of Adobe Photoshop and CTan programs by different researchers. No significant differences were found between the parameters of the same aggregates obtained by the compared methods. So, one can conclude that the reliability of determining the morphometric parameters of soil aggregates using Thixomet Pro is comparable to the reliability of results when working with images of sectionsin CTan after binarization in Adobe Photoshop. The method of obtaining data on morphometric parameters of soil aggregates using Thixomet Pro completely eliminates the possibility of subjective error, shows a high degree of automation, reproducibility and reliability of the results obtained, and is faster.

Published: December 2020

En los últimos años, la tecnología se ha caracterizado por tener grandes avances los cuales pueden ser aplicados a un beneficio conjunto. Los actuales centros de rehabilitación física en el Perú no cuentan con la tecnología suficiente en la cual se puedan apoyar para brindar un seguimiento dar un mejor diagnóstico a los pacientes que están en rehabilitación. La rehabilitación física es el tipo de tratamiento más frecuente en el Perú para personas que presentan cierta discapacidad física (62%). Sin embargo, muchas de ellas no llegan a culminar exitosamente las sesiones de terapia física que tienen programas ya que encuentran los ejercicios repetitivos y poco motivadores. Así mismo, muchas veces durante las sesiones, un único terapeuta es quien está a cargo de un grupo de pacientes, lo cual hace imposible que preste 100% de su atención a cada uno. Es por ello por lo que el presente proyecto tiene como objetivo principal la implementación de una aplicación que permite el uso de la tecnología como apoyo en la terapia física a través del Kinect 2.0 para pacientes con tendinopatía del hombro.

En los últimos 5 años, el Emplantillado con Patrones de Construcción ha sido muy importante en toda edificación, ya que este varía en dificultad de acuerdo al entorno en el cual se encuentra. No obstante, la realización de esta práctica de los estudiantes de arquitectura, es realizada de manera física en un lugar con una cierta cantidad de materiales en, el cual solo tienen una oportunidad. Actualmente, con los avances tecnológicos, las simulaciones de construcción pueden ser practicadas mediante aplicaciones web y/o móvil. Lo cual nos lleva a la posibilidad de determinar si se ha realizado bien y de ahí recién ejecutarlo en la vida real de una manera correcta. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo brindar una aplicación móvil de apoyo y complemento al aprendizaje de los estudiantes de la facultad de arquitectura para el curso de Obras Preliminares. Este permitirá, a través de un Juego Serio, realizar la simulación del Emplantillado. Para ello, se implementará una aplicación móvil interactiva usando interfaces amigables, el cual el estudiante interactuará digitalmente con los bloques de construcción. Además, almacenará los puntajes, intentos y tiempos de cada uno de ellos, para poseer una información relevante para el docente y el control respectivo de sus estudiantes. Los supuestos tomados en cuenta son que el proyecto se llevará a cabo durante los ciclos 2016-2 y 2017-1.

“On peut mourir tranquil!” Functionalizing Alzheimer’s Disease from “Wellkåmm to Verona” (2006) to “La Finale” (2018)
Authors: Horlacher Stefan , Röber Franziska
Published: December 2020

Popular representations of dementia seemingly create an overall narrative of loss; the loss of productivity, economic resources, social power, autonomy, and, most of all, memory and personhood. Though the preoccupation with dementia continues to proliferate in various media, visual representations of the disease have remained relatively scarce and conventional. For the most part such representations focus on female patients and are characterized by somber undertones. Based on a representative selection of contemporary European films, this article inquires whether there are other ways of presenting and dealing with dementia and asks how comedies which feature older men afflicted with Alzheimer’s manage to generate laughter, to what extent these films use mechanisms of denigration, exclusion and stereotyping in regard to the patients, the family, and the disease, and what kind of compromise they find between comic aspects and the dire physical, psychological and social realities of dementia. Further points of analysis are the possible infantilizing and stigmatizing of Alzheimer’s patients, the reinforcement of stereotypical notions of later life and ageing, and the ‘ideological’ subtexts the comedies propagate in relation to traditional family values and hierarchies.

Felső-Tisza-vidéki, rangos, honfoglaló férfi szobrászi arcrekonstrukciója a tuzséri temetőből
Authors: KUSTÁR Ágnes
Published: December 2020

The mature age individual excavated from the Tomb 6 of Tuzsér-Boszorkány-hegy cemetery, was a member of the prestigious Hungarian conquering communities in the Upper Tisza region. He was a taxonomically mixed European and Mongolian type. On the top of his predominantly Europid Pamirian skull, two symbolic trepanations were also visible. His paternal genetic line links him to the “Yakut subgroup”, within it was classified in the Turkic-conquering cluster, whose origin dates back to the Asian Hun era.

The facial reconstruction of the Tuzsér conqueror was done at the Hungarian Natural History Museum on a 3D plastic skull copy of the original skull. Using the sculptural anatomical method the thickness of the soft parts of the face was estimated based on a scientific data table. Each detail of the face was shaped according to the morphological correlations of the skull bones and soft tissues. The reconstructed facial features have a predominantly Europid appearance, but also faithfully reflect the mixed, Europid and Mongolian characteristics of the skull.

Subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SPD) is a rare, chronic, recurrent, pustular eruption. It may
be difficult to differentiate SPD from Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis (AGEP) and
Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP)just from clinical appeareance. A 48 years old woman with
subcorneal pustular dermatosis was reported. She was complained there were tiny blisters containing pus
on the reddish patches that felt burning and became widespread to neck, chest, abdomen, arms, groin and
legs since 4 days ago. Patient had no history of skin lesion before. From physical examination revealed
no other pathologies and on the skin showed erythematous patches with annular lesion, pustules
formation that tended to coalesce to form desquamative plaques, erosions, on chest, abdomen, back, arm,
buttock and leg. Based on histopathology showed there are subcorneal pustules. The subcorneal pustule
is filled with neutrophils and on the dermis, there are mild infiltration of neutrophil cells. This feature
revealed to SPD.Clinically it may be difficult to differentiate SPD from AGEP and GPP. Histopathology
examination can distinguished these disease,patient was treated with prednisone 40 mg and dapson 100
mg and had improvement after 4 weeks.
A Hybrid Microbial-Enzymatic Fuel Cell Cathode Overcomes Enzyme Inactivation Limits in Biological Fuel Cells
Authors: Gervasio Dominic , Evans J. Parker , Pryor Barry
Published: December 2020

The construction of optimized biological fuel cells requires a cathode which combines the longevity of a microbial catalyst with the power density of an enzymatic catalyst. Laccase secreting fungi were grown directly on the cathode of a biological fuel cell to facilitate the exchange of inactive enzymes with active enzymes with the goal of extending the lifetime of laccase cathodes. Additionally, a functionally graded coating was developed to increase enzyme loading at the cathode. Directly incorporating the laccase producing fungus at the cathode extends the operational lifetime of laccase cathodes while eliminating the need for frequent replenishment of the electrolyte. Additionally, the hybrid microbial-enzymatic cathode addresses the issue of enzyme inactivation by using the natural ability of fungi to exchange inactive laccases at the cathode with active laccases. Finally, enzyme adsorption was increased through the use of a functionally graded coating containing an optimized ratio of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and single walled carbon nanotubes. The hybrid microbial-enzymatic fuel cell combines the higher power density of enzymatic fuel cells with the longevity of microbial fuel cells and demonstrates the feasibility of a self-regenerating fuel cell in which inactive laccases are continuously exchanged with active laccases.
A Wire-Driven Discrete Continuum Robot Sliding and Non-sliding Backbone Design Analysis and Validation of Kinematics/Kinetics
Authors: Yeshmukhametov Azamat , Buribayev Zholdas , Amirgaliyev Beibut , Amirgaliyev Yedilkkhan
Published: December 2020

Wire-driven hyper-redundant continuum manipulators are gaining more popularity and finding more applications in industry and in minimally invasive surgery. Unlike traditional rigid link manipulators, continuum robots with a flexible backbone structure are able to work in a highly constrained workspace and in an unstructured environment. However, in spite of a possible wide range of reachability, continuum manipulators have some issues related to payload capacity, accuracy and control. Therefore, in this research, we propose a novel hyper-redundant continuum robot with a passive sliding disc mechanism to improve payload capacity and accuracy. To prove the sliding mechanism concept, we demonstrate a comparison analysis with a conventional non-sliding continuum robot arm in a payload test, a bending test and a reachability test. Moreover, with this novel design, we are proposing robot kinematics and kinetic formulation and simulation results to validate the effectiveness of the sliding disc mechanism.
"Dividing and Conquering" and "Caching" in Molecular Modeling
Authors: Cao Xiaoyong , Tian Pu
Published: December 2020

Molecular modeling is widely utilized in subjects including but not limited to physics, chemistry, biology, materials science and engineering. Impressive progress has been made in development of theories, algorithms and software packages. To divide and conquer, and to cache intermediate results have been long standing principles in development of algorithms. Not surprisingly, Most of important methodological advancements in more than half century of molecule modeling are various implementations of these two fundamental principles. To access interesting behavior of complex molecular systems in a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, the molecular modeling community has invested tremendous efforts on two lines of algorithm development. The first is coarse graining, which is to represent multiple basic particles in higher resolution modeling as a single larger and softer particle in lower resolution counterpart, with resulting force fields of partial transferability at the expense of some information loss. The second is enhanced sampling, which realizes "dividing and conquering" and/or "caching" in configurational space with focus either on reaction coordinates and collective variables as in Metadynamics and related algorithms, or on the transition matrix and state discretization as in Markov state models. For this line of algorithms, spatial resolution is maintained but no transferability is available. With introduction of machine learning techniques, many new developments, particularly those based on deep learning, have been implemented to realize more efficient and accurate ways of "dividing and conquering" and "caching" along these two lines of algorithmic research. We recently developed the generalized solvation free energy theory , which suggests a third class of algorithm that facilitate molecular modeling through partially transferable in resolution "caching" of local free energy landscape. Connections and potential interactions among these three algorithmic directions are discussed. This brief review is on both the traditional development and the application of machine learning in molecular modeling from the perspective of "dividing and conquering" and "caching", with the hope to stimulate development of more elegant, efficient and reliable formulations and algorithms in this regard.
Cytochrome P450 CYP2E1 Suppression Ameliorates Cerebral Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
Authors: Yu Jin , Zhu Hong , Kindy Mark , Taheri Saeid
Published: December 2020

Despite existing strong evidence on oxidative markers overproduction following ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), the mechanism by which oxidative enzyme Cytochrome P450-2E1 (CYP2E1) contributes to I/R outcomes is not clear. In this study, we sought to evaluate the functional significance of CYP2E1 in I/R. CYP2E1 KO mice and controls were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo-90min) followed by 24hr of reperfusion to induce focal I/R injury models. Then, histological and chemical analyses were conducted to investigate the role of CYP2E1 in lesion volume, oxidative stress, and inflammation exacerbation. Also, the role of CYP2E1 on the BBB integrity was investigated by measuring 20-Hydroxyecosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) activity, as well as, in vivo BBB transfer rate. Following I/R, the CYP2E1 KO mice exhibited a significantly lower lesion volume, and neurological deficits compared to controls (p<0.005). Also, ROS production, apoptosis, and the neurodegeneration were significantly lower in the CYP2E1(-/-) I/R group (p<0.001). The BBB damage was significantly lower in CYP2E1(-/-) mice compared to WT (p<0.001), while 20-HETE production was increased by 41%. Besides, inflammatory cytokines expression and the number of activated microglia were significantly lower in CYP2E1(-/-) mice following I/R. CYP2E1 suppression ameliorates I/R injury and protects BBB integrity by reducing both oxidative stress and inflammation.

Several problems of radiative transfer are yet unsolved because of the difficulties of the calculations involved in them, especially if the intervening shapes are geometrically complex. The main goal of our investigation in this domain is to convert the formulas that were previously derived, into a graphical interface based on the projected solid-angle principle. Such procedure is now feasible by virtue of several widely diffused programs for Algorithms Aided Design (AAD). Accuracy and reliability of the process is controlled by means of the analytical software DianaX developed at an earlier stage by the authors. With this new approach the often cumbersome procedure of lighting and thermal exchange calculations can be simplified and made available for the neophyte, with the undeniable advantage of reduced computer time.

Malnutrition and cognitive dysfunction are typical features of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and are correlated with the development of complications. The aim of this study is to explore the effect of nutritional state and diet on cognitive function in ALD. A total of 43 patients with compensated alcoholic cirrhosis were enrolled, and neuropsychological test was assessed according to body mass index (BMI, <22 and ≥22). In the ALD animal study, mice were divided into 5 groups (n=9/group; normal liquid, 5% EtOH+regular liquid, 5% EtOH+high-carbohydrate liquid, 5% EtOH+high-fat liquid, and 5% EtOH+high-protein liquid diet) and fed the same calories for 8-week. To assess cognitive function, we performed T-maze studies weekly before/after alcohol binging. In cognitive function (BMI <22 /≥22), language score of Korea mini-mental state (7.4±1.4/7.9±0.4), Rey-complex figure (72.0±25.9/58.4±33.6), Boston naming (11.7±2.7/13.0±1.8), forward digit span (6.7±1.8/7.5±1.6), Korean Color Word Stroop (24.2±26.5/43.6±32.4), and interference score (33.9±31.9/52.3±33.9) revealed significant differences. In the T-maze test, alcohol significantly delayed the time to reach food, and binge drinking provided a temporary recovery in cognition. The alcohol-induced delay was significantly reduced in the high-carbohydrate and high-fat diet groups. Synaptic function exhibited no changes in all groups. Cognitive dysfunction is affected by nutritional status and diet in ALD.

Energy consumption constantly increases day-by-day, which enforces suppliers and consumers in to plan the needs for the short and long terms. This obliges studying to device useful and accurate ways to predict the need for use in corresponding periods of the time. One of these fields of study is the efficient and uninterrupted energy supply over distribution infrastructures. It is obvious that the efficiency and performance of energy supply companies plays an important role in energy supply itself and has a critical value in determining and finetuning the future roadmap of the sector. In this study, the performance and efficiency of energy supply companies with respect to productivity is investigated over a case study of an electricity distribution company in Turkey. The factors affecting the company’s performance and their corresponding weights have been determined and elicited using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and the Fuzzy AHP methods, as two well-known multi-criteria decision-making methods. The AHP method differs from other methods in that it can evaluate qualitative and quantitative expressions together, calculate the consistency rate, and show the hierarchical structure between sub-criteria and alternatives depending on the criteria. In addition, it is a decision-making method that is widely used in the literature. The Fuzzy AHP method, on the other hand, reflects the evaluations of people better than the classical AHP method and provides convenience during the evaluation. The results help demonstrate that the criteria elicited to evaluate the company’s energy supply performance plan a crucial role in developing strategies, policies and action plans to achieve continuous improvement and consistent development.

Perairan Takalar Sulawesi Selatan telah dikenal sebagai lokasi budidaya alga terutama Eucheuma cottonii yang banyak dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan baku atau bahan tambahan pangan. Akan tetapi risiko terdapatnya cemaran logam berat yang berpotensi mengakibatkan gangguan kesehatan telah menjadi perhatian utama khususnya karena sifat dari tumbuhan air yang mampu menyerap logam berat sehingga terjadi akumulasi yang mengakibatkan kadar logam-logam tersebut lebih tinggi dibandingkan lingkungannya. Logam berat seperti timbal, kadmium dan arsen anorganik biasanya ditemukan dalam rumput laut dan pangan lain yang berasal dari laut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kandungan logam berat Pb, Cd, dan As pada E. cottonii dan mengetahui batas maksimum konsumsi mingguannya. Metode penelitian adalah metode studi lapangan dengan pengambilan sampel sebanyak 3 kali pengulangan. Analisis kadar logam berat menggunakan metode spektrometri serapan atom (SSA) sedangkan analisis keamanan konsumsi berdasarkan MTI (Maximum Tolerable Intake). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kadar Pb pada sampel adalah  1,2215±0,200 ppm, analisis kadar Cd di bawah batas deteksi, dan kadar As adalah 0,3939±0,035ppm. Berdasarkan kandungan logam berat Pb, Cd dan As, jumlah maksimum Eucheuma cottonii yang masih aman dikonsumsi per minggu oleh manusia dengan BB 60 kg adalah 122,8 g atau 0,1228 kg. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kadar semua logam yang telah diteliti pada rumput laut Eucheuma cottonii warna hijau asal Kabupaten Takalar, Sulawesi Selatan masih memenuhi standar yang ditetapkan SNI dan BPOM, kecuali logam Pb karena hasilnya melebihi kadar yang seharusnya yaitu 1,0 mg/kg.

Published: December 2020

Case:

We report the case of an active 8-year-old boy with a history of hemophilia and with a 1-year history of knee pain and limited range of motion. Magnetic resonance imaging of the knee demonstrated a ganglion cyst arising from the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Arthroscopic decompression of the cyst was performed, and he was asymptomatic at the 1-year follow-up.

Conclusion:

This case demonstrates a rare finding of a pediatric PCL ganglion cyst. We suggest that clinicians should be aware of this as a cause of knee pain in the pediatric population and that arthroscopic management can be successful.
