Authors: Pratama Nita Irawan Anugerah , Pusparini Pusparini
Published: December 2019

LATAR BELAKANGDisfungsi seksual merupakan masalah dalam siklus respons seksual yang mengakibatkan individu gagal mendapatkan kepuasan dalam akivitas seksual. Disfungsi seksual meliputi berbagai gangguan dalam hubungan seksual, yang pada perempuan secara sederhana terbagi menjadi gangguan keinginan atau hasrat seksual, gairah, pelumasan, orgasme, kepuasan dan nyeri dalam hubungan seksual. Salah satu faktor penyebab terjadinya disfungsi seksual adalah efek samping dari penggunaan alat kontrasepsi hormonal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan disfungsi seksual pada pengguna kontrasepsi oral dan kontrasepsi suntik.
METODEPenelitian ini menggunakan desain potong lintang. Sebanyak 132 perempuan yang terdiri dari 66 perempuan yang menggunakan kontrasepsi oral dan 66 yang menggunakan kontrasepsi hormonal berusia 15 – 49 tahun yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi diikutsertakan dalam penelitian ini. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan April sampai dengan Juni 2019 di Puskesmas Kembangan Jakarta Barat. Untuk mengetahui adanya disfungsi seksual digunakan kuesioner Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Analisa statistik menggunakan uji Chi-square dengan nilai p<0.05 berbeda bermakna.
HASILRerata usia subjek penelitian pada pengguna kontrasepsi oral adalah 32.10 ± 6.2 tahun dan kontrasepsi suntik adalah 31.56 ± 6.4 tahun. Sebagian besar subjek mengalami disfungsi seksual sebanyak 73 orang (55.3%). Kejadian disfungsi seksual pada pengguna kontrasepsi suntik lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan kontrasepsi oral yaitu sejumlah 52 orang (78%) dengan nilai p=0.000.
KESIMPULANDisfungsi seksual pada perempuan yang menggunakan kontrasepsi suntik lebih sering terjadi daripada pengguna kontrasepsi oral, sehingga pengguna kontrasepsi hormonal lebih baik menggunakan kontrasepsi oral dibandingkan kontrasepsi suntik untuk meminimalisasi kejadian disfungsi seksual.

Published: December 2019

Background: Normal cerebral membrane integration is important to maintain the cellular calcium homeostasis. Recent studies have suggested that elevated serum calcium levels at presentation correlates well with the infarct size and severity of stroke.Methods: A total of 73 patients with acute ischemic stroke satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study from November 1st 2017 to April 30th 2019 at a tertiary care centre in Kolar, Karnataka. Serum calcium (total, ionized and albumin corrected calcium) levels were measured at the time of presentation and compared with the infarct size and severity of stroke using NIHSS score (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale).Results: The levels of total calcium, albumin-corrected calcium, and ionized calcium were 9.13±0.89 mg/dL (range: 8.24-10.02), 9.56±0.82 mg/dL (range: 8.74-10.38), and 4.79±0.47 mg/dL (range: 4.3-5.2), respectively. Mean stroke size as measured on the CT scan was 47.38±17.7 cm (range: 21-88). Analysis revealed significant negative correlation between calcium levels (total, corrected, and ionized) and infarct size and severity of stroke.Conclusions: In this study, it was found that there was a statistically significant negative correlation between total, ionized and corrected calcium with the infarct size in patients with ischemic stroke and also the total calcium at presentation and severity of stroke calculated using NIHSS score.

Published: December 2019

The pregnancy induced hypertension increase the fetal mortality and morbidity and the using of Doppler umbilical artery indices decrease the fetal mortality and morbidity however, there is few complete data about the most frequently altered Doppler US parameters to predict fetal outcome in pregnancy induced hypertension . Methods This ia cohort prospective study done in two hundred and six women of second and third trimester presenting to antenatal clinic in Soba University Hospital at the department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, in the fetus unit and critical pregnancy in the period From June 2008 to April 2013 to assess the Doppler indices of umbilical artery in pregnancy induced hypertension for prediction of prenatal outcome; 105 pregnancy induced hypertension patients and 101 women with uneventful pregnancies as normal control group included in this study . Baseline investigations and color Doppler of umbilical artery were done. Statistical analysis of data were done using SPSS, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed and the area under the curve (AUC) used to determine sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of umbilical artery Doppler indices to predict fetal outcome.Results The study determine that there was significant difference in Doppler indices in PIH and control group ( p<0.01, the mean indices of umbilical artery is higher in PIH group compared with normal pregnancy group , the mean different of S/D ratio was 0.40, mean difference of RI was 0.06 and the mean different of PI index was 0.16, high percentage of adverse fetal outcome had been reported in in Pregnancy Induced Hypertension group than in control , which was more in absent and reversed flow velocity in umbilical artery in Pregnancy Induced Hypertension compared with group of Pregnancy Induced Hypertension with present end diastolic flow velocity. Systolic/Diastolic ratio was most accurate in predicting adverse outcome in pregnancy induced hypertension patients, followed by the Pulastility index then the Resistance index (75%, 66% and 57% respectively).ConclusionThis study concluded that pregnancy induced hypertension leads to worsen placental insufficiently, which appears on the higher Doppler indices of umbilical artery to PIH patients when compared with normal pregnancy. A low diastolic flow and higher indices characterized the pregnancies with abnormal outcomes. Doppler of the umbilical artery was useful to predict fetal well being in PIH patients, high percentage of adverse fetal outcome had been reported in absent and reversed end diastolic flow velocity in umbilical artery compared with group of present flow velocity.

Published: December 2019

Background: Lung cancer is most frequently diagnosed major cancer in the world and the most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide. It comprises about 17% of the total new cancer cases in males and 23% of the total cancer deaths. The objectives of this study were to compare bronchial biopsy, BAL and TBNA in diagnosing lung malignancies and IHC wherever required.Methods: The study was conducted at Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences Srinagar, India in the department of Pathology. It was a prospective study over a period of 1½ years from June 2015 to December 2016. All patients clinically/ radiologically suspected of lung malignancies who presented between June 2015 to December 2016 and underwent bronchial biopsy, BAL (washings) and TBNA were included in the study. The study included only those cases where BAL, TBNA and bronchial biopsy were done simultaneously.Results: Out of a total 117 clinically suspected cases of lung cancer, tumor was found in 103 cases (103/117) by biopsy, 51 cases by BAL (51/117) and 64 cases by TBNA (64/117). The total number of false positive cases and false negative cases by BAL were 6 and 58. Sensitivity of BAL was found to be 43.69% and specificity 57.14%. The total number of false positive cases and false negative cases by TBNA were 7 and 46. Sensitivity and specificity of TBNA was found to be 55.34% and 50.0%.Conclusions: Thus, in the present study yield of diagnosis was highest with the bronchoscopic biopsies and in maximum number of cases with a sensitivity of 88.034%, and specific histologic diagnosis was made by biopsies and IHC only. Though BAL and TBNA were inferior to bronchial biopsy in diagnosing lung malignancies but these were effective for peripheral lung malignancies and when the patient was at risk of haemorrhage.

Authors: Bafna Akshay Ashok , Shah Hetan C.
Published: December 2019

Background: To evaluate the myocardial function and its correlation with serum ferritin and the number of transfusions in beta-thalassemia major patients by using standard echocardiography and left ventricular strain imaging.Methods: This was a cross-sectional exploration study comprised of 56 beta-thalassemia patients conducted at a tertiary-care center in India between September 2016 and August 2017. Patients with age less than 18 years, diagnosed with thalassemia major, recipients of >20 units of blood transfusions, and normal Left Ventricular (LV) function by 2D-echocardiography were included in the study. Severity of iron overload was determined by using serum ferritin levels and LV strain imaging parameters were evaluated by using strain values of 17 LV segments.Results: A total of 56 beta-thalassemia patients were included in the study. Of these, 29(51.8%) patients were boys and 27(48.2%) patients were girls with a mean age of 7.8±1.84 years. Average serum ferritin level was found to be 4089.83 ng/dl. Strain values of the basal lateral wall of the left ventricle were significantly abnormal in patients who received more (>80) transfusions compared with those who received lesser transfusions (p=0.025 and p=0.045), respectively. Patients with serum ferritin >6000 ng/ml had impaired strain (p=0.03).Conclusions: Conventional echocardiographic parameters and Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) do not provide adequate information about LV dysfunction. Systolic strain index imaging of the LV indicated the presence of early LV systolic dysfunction in patients who received a greater number of blood transfusions and patients with higher serum ferritin levels.

Published: December 2019

Background: Pregnant women often experience more severe intestinal parasitic infections than their non-pregnant counterparts. Intestinal parasitic infections also disturb pregnancy at the maternal and fetal level. Objective of the study was to find out the prevalence of intestinal parasites in pregnant women and its relationship with various socio-demographic factors.Methods: A single stool specimen was collected. A saline and iodine mount was examined microscopically to demonstrate the intestinal parasites. Formol ether Concentration technique was performed to increase the yield of the eggs and larvae. Modified acid-fast staining was done for opportunistic parasitic infections.Results: In this study 300 pregnant women were screened for presence of intestinal parasites. The prevalence of intestinal parasites was 42.67%. Women who practiced hand washing regularly and had knowledge about parasites had lesser infection. The dietary practice of taking green leafy vegetables had protective effect during pregnancy. The prevalence of intestinal parasites was almost same in both rural and urban women. Higher prevalence of intestinal parasites was found in lower socioeconomic class. Women who used river as source of water supply had slightly more prevalence than those who used municipal water. The prevalence of hookworm infection was more in women who never wore sandals.Conclusions: The high prevalence of intestinal parasites in the pregnant women indicates faecal pollution of soil and domestic water supply.  Education and awareness regarding intestinal parasites need to be done during their routine antenatal visits. Emphasis should be made on consistent hand washing, consumption of washed leafy vegetables and use of footwear. Deworming of pregnant women should be considered in the national guidelines.

Published: December 2019

Background: Nutritional anaemia is defined as a condition in which the haemoglobin content of the blood is lower than normal as a result of deficiency of one or more essential nutrients. Anaemia is the late manifestation of deficiency of nutrient(s) needed for haemoglobin synthesis. The prevalence of anaemia in developing countries is estimated to be 43% and that of developed countries is 9%. Anaemia is estimated to contribute to more than 115000 maternal deaths and 591000 prenatal deaths globally per year. The objectives of the present study were to determine the prevalence of anaemia among the pregnant women and lactating mothers and to explore the associated factors with anaemia.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among pregnant and lactating women in Ukkali a rural field practice area Shri B. M. Patil Medical College, Vijayapur. Criteria for inclusion were pregnant women- current pregnancy of more than 6 months and lactating mother with child aged up to 6 months of age. Estimation of haemoglobin was carried by standard Sahlis pipette method. Anaemia was classified according to WHO grading criteria.Results: The maximum number of pregnant women (85.71%) in the age group of 35-49 years was anaemic followed by those who were in the age group of 20-34 years (61.54%). Prevalence of anaemia was 72 % in women of less than 20 years, whereas it was as high as 80% among lactating women of 35-49 years age group.Conclusions: Anaemia continues to be a problem with the existing health care resources. Socio-economic status, literacy of women and awareness related to health concerns are the major determinants that contribute to the problem of anaemia.

One of the parameters that most influence the sensorial acceptance of yogurt is the texture presented. By determining the rheological behavior, we enable the sizing of the equipment. The aim of the present study is to determine the rheological behavior and the texture of whole yoghurts with different concentrations of achachairu pulp submitted to different temperatures. In addition to that we aim to adjust the data to the rheological models studied and to evaluate the influence of pulp and temperature on the instrumental texture profile. The rheological study was performed and the rheological models were adjusted to the experimental data. The Herschel-Bulkley rheological model presented the best fit for all formulations and temperatures with determination coefficients (R2 ) greater than 0.99 and low chi-square values (X2 ). Yogurt firmness decreased due to the increase of pulp concentration, however when submitted to 9 °C temperature they presented more firmness. On the other hand, yogurt showed non-Newtonian fluid behavior, in the specific case of pseudoplastic and instrumental texture parameters, they tended to decrease with increasing temperature.

Published: December 2019

This paper describes the results of studies of the physicochemical characteristics of cobalt catalysts and methods for modifying them with alumina. The elemental composition, the peculiarities of formation of the structural and phase composition of cobalt catalysts are studied. The influence of the carbonization process of cobalt catalysts at a temperature of 550 °С on the specific surface is determined. The increase in the specific surface in cobalt catalysts was studied to proceed uniformly, as the formation of large grains and accumulations of active components was not observed. According to the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the formation of aluminosilicate phases, cobalt oxide, and cobalt are detected. The surface of cobalt samples was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Electron microscopy revealed crystallites of cobalt particles with sizes of 300‒400 nm. It is shown that in the course of modification with alumina, in cobalt catalysts active centers are formed that enhance their catalytic properties during the reaction of hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene. It is found that cobalt catalysts exhibit catalytic activity in the acetylene hydrogenation reaction. On cobalt catalysts at a temperature of 160 °C at a conversion of 82%, the yield of ethy lene is 64.1%.

The visual quality of the print result is largely dependent on the optimum level of coalescence process of the underprint material and the ink. The structural characteristics of the paper are extremely important in that the print can be obtained without loss and with the desired colour value. Since paper and cardboard are heterogeneous and interchangeable materials, it is necessary to measure the structural properties and determine their effect on the printability parameters of these properties. In this study, 90 g/m2 alternative papers, which are widely used in a certain product group and have different characteristics, are selected. 5 alternative papers were selected, elongation, strength, contact angle and surface energies were determined with the calibrated test devices. With offset printing, the ink is transferred to the paper by keeping the ink quantities constant with the cyan, magenta, yellow and black lines. Inks were measured for density and colour measurements followed by light fastness test and colour measurements were repeated. Differences in colour and paper properties are compared with multi-criteria decision making methods and given graphically. The optimal paper was selected using the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solutions) method, which is a multi-criteria decision-making method for choosing the most appropriate paper for production.

Aim: There is a close link between diabetic nephropathy and atherosclerotic heart disease. We aimed to evaluate the changes of SCUBE-1 and sCD40L, which play role in the course of atherosclerosis, with the progression of nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.Material and Methods: Thirty healthy subjects (group 1) and 74 patients with type 2 diabetes (divided into 3 groups as normal albuminuria group (group 2, n=33), moderately increased albuminuria group (group 3, n=22) and severely increased albuminuria group (group 4, n=19)) were enrolled in the study. Plasma SCUBE-1 and sCD40L levels were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique.Results: Mean SCUBE-1 levels were significantly higher in group 4 compared to group 1 and group 2 (p=0.005 and p=0.014, respectively) and in group 3 compared to group 1 and group 2 (p=0.011 and p=0.028, respectively). Mean sCD40L levels were significantly higher in group 4 than in other three groups (all p<0.001), and in group 3 than in group 1 and group 2 (p=0.001 and p=0.016, respectively). Furthermore, SCUBE-1 level was positively correlated with total cholesterol level (r=0.212, p=0.031) and triglyceride (r=0.194, p=0.049). Likewise, sCD40L level was positively correlated with only creatinine level (r=0.297, p=0.002).Conclusion: SCUBE-1 and sCD40L levels increased with the progression of nephropathy in type 2 diabetes. This increment suggested that SCUBE-1 and sCD40L may play key role in the course of atherosclerosis due to diabetic nephropathy and, diabetic nephropathy may affect the levels of these parameters.

Authors: Пассар Андрей Владимирович
Published: December 2019

Актуальность исследования определяется необходимостью создания эффективных газотурбинных двигателей, применяемых в отрасли нефтегазового комплекса. Цель: при помощи модели пространственного течения газа в центростремительной турбине исследовать воздействие расчетного режима проектирования турбины на газодинамику течения в её рабочем колесе. Объект: центростремительная турбина энергоустановки малой мощности применяемого в отрасли нефтегазового комплекса. Методы. Для описания течения в турбине применяются уравнения пространственного потока. Для приведения этой системы уравнений к системе уравнений по двум координатам применяется метод прямых. Полученная система уравнений двумерного течения решается методом последовательных приближений. Результаты. На основе метода оптимального проектирования спроектированы рабочие колеса центростремительной турбины для различных расчетных давлений газа на входе. Результаты проектирования показали, что с увеличением расчетного давления газа на входе в турбину уменьшаются площади входного и выходного сечений проточной части. На базе одномерной модели течения в турбинах показано влияние высот лопатки рабочего колеса на КПД и мощность турбины. В результате проведения одномерного расчета можно констатировать, что с увеличением высот лопатки рабочего колеса взрастает КПД турбины, а эффективная мощность падает. Впервые для центростремительной турбины показано воздействие расчетного давления газа на входе в турбину, на газодинамику течения в её рабочем колесе. В результате проведенных исследований установлено, что с уменьшением расчетного давления газа на входе в турбину возрастает область отрыва течения в рабочем колесе. Линия области отрыва течения определена при условии равенства нулю меридианной проекции относительной скорости. Представлены экспериментальный и расчетный профиль скоростей за проточной частью турбины. При сопоставлении расчетного профиля скоростей с экспериментальным следует отметить, что применяемая модель расчета двумерного течения в турбине позволяет с хорошей точностью рассчитать газодинамику течения в ней.

У раду се представља рукописна лекаруша са молитвеником Косте Радовића из 1830. године, која се чува у Одељењу раритета Матице српске, под сигнатуром РР II 62. Циљ истраживања односи се на сагледавање предстандардног језичког израза на лексичком нивоу и на састављање речника фитонима заступљених у овом рукопису. Као резултат добија се систематизован преглед биља које се код нас употребљавало за лечење, као и преглед језичког фонда везаног за њихово именовање. Поређењем са старијим, средњовековним медицинским списима, као што су Ходошки зборник и Хиландарски типик, настоји се осветлити потенцијална повезаност овог рукописа са делима сличне намене ранијег периода, при чему се као критеријуми узимају организација текста, број и истоветност биљних врста, њихових назива и лековита дејства која им се приписују.
