Published: August 2019

Objective: Determine change in serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) following transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Material & Method: Eighteen men with age range of 50 – 69 years, were divided in two groups, group I 50-59 years (mean 56,5) and group II 60-69 years (mean 67,2). Both groups underwent measurement of serum PSA and IIEF-5 pre-operative, and repeated at 30, 60, and 90 days after TURP. Results: Level of serum PSA after TURP is decreased in most patients after 30, 60, and 90 days (72%, 72% and 78%). Mean value of PSA pre-operatively is 5,3 ± 3,3 ng/ml. After TURP, serum PSA level was 3,5 ± 3,0 ng/ml (30 days); 2,9 ± 2,9 ng/ml (60 days) and 1,8 ± 1,3ng/ml (90 days). Pre-operative PSA level was significantly decreased in Group I during the 60 and 90 days post TURP, while in Group II pre-operative PSA level was significantly decreased only in 90 days of observation. Overall there is no significant difference in PSA levels in both groups (p > 0,05). The decrease of PSA per gram resected in 30, 60, and 90 days were 0,10 ng/ml; 0,16 ng/ml and 0,24 ng/ml consecutively. There is no change in normal IIEF-5 score. Decrease of the IIEF-5 score in group I was measured at 30 days, but the score increased after 60 and 90 days. Meanwhile Group II showed decrease of IIEF-5 score. Pre-operative IIEF-5 score compared to the 30 days post TURP was significantly different but not significantly different compared with to score at 60 and 90 days. In Group I IIEF-5 score was significantly higher compared to Group II (p < 0,05). Prostatitis was found in 8 patients, but there is no difference in serum PSA level decrease between patients with or without prostatitis. Conclusion: There was significant decrease in serum PSA after TURP in BPH patients with LUTS at every measurement at 30, 60, and 90 days. PSA level after TURP depends on various factors, including pre-operative PSA, pre-operative prostate volume and prostate volume resected. Incidence of erectile dysfunction post TURP was low.
Keywords: Prostate-specific antigen, benign prostatic hyperplasia, transurethral resection of the prostate, erectile dysfunction.

Authors: Agre Sharayu , Agrawal Ronika , Alirajpurwala Arwa 
Published: August 2019

Background: Screen time (ST) is defined as the viewing or use of anything with a screen including TV, DVDs, video games, and computers. They reduce time for outdoor activities resulting in less physical work. Thus, it is necessary to establish a relationship between ST and obesity and its association with cardiorespiratory illnesses. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the correlation of ST with obesity and cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2 max) among children aged 10–12 years. Materials and Methods: Body mass index (BMI), waist–hip ratio (WHR), and VO2 max of each child were calculated. The children were also given a questionnaire consisting of 45 activities categorized into moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activities and leisure activities which they usually perform in the entire week. Thus, total duration for all activities performed in a day was summed. Data were analyzed for correlation. Results: The average age of students was 11.09 years. Average BMI of males was 16.52±3.67 kg/m2. Average BMI for females was 17.12±2.46 kg/m2. Average VO2 max for students was 35.83 ml/kg/min. ST for students was ranging from 40 min to 190 min. Positive correlation between ST and BMI of children was r=0.66 which suggests as ST increases BMI increases. Similar trend was seen with WHR and VO2 max, suggesting that as ST increases endurance decreases and risk for cardiorespiratory disease increases. Conclusion: Increased ST in children increases the chances of obesity and reduces the level of cardiorespiratory fitness.

ANALISIS EFEKTIVITAS MESIN INJECTION MOLDING DI BAGIAN PRODUKSI PT. DIAN MEGAH INDO PERKASA MENGGUNAKAN METODE OVERALL EQUIPMENT EFFECTIVENESS DAN FAULT TREE ANALYSIS
Authors: Sianturi Gabriel , Alatas Haidar 
Published: August 2019

Salah satu faktor terpenting dalam proses produksi adalah kinerja mesin. Mesin merupakan alat utama dalam pembuatan produk. PT Dian Megah Indo Perkasa merupakan perusahaan yang bergerak dibidang industry plastik dan terletak di Jl. Abdul Halim No. 30 Cimahi Badung, Jawa Barat. PT Dian Megah Indo Perkasa memilik 28 mesin injection molding, apabila salah satu mesin mengalami kerusakan ataupun penurunan performasi maka target produksi tidak akan tercapai.

Metode overall equipment effectiveness merupakan metode yang digunakan untuk menghitung efektivitas suatu mesin, dimana avalaibility, performance dan quality menjadi komponen terpenting dalam metode ini. Selain itu untuk dapat melihat nilai kerugian yang dialami oleh perusahaan maka diperlukanlah perhitungan metode Six Big Losses. Selanjutnya nilai efektivitas dan nilai Six Big Losses tersebut akan dianalisis menggunakan metode Fault Tree Analysis.

Mesin injection molding merupakan mesin yang memproduksi produk dari plastik, namun mesin ini belum sepenuhnya bekerja secara efektif. Hal ini dapat diketahui dari rendahnya nilai overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) yang telah dihitung yaitu sebesar 70,83% untuk periode Januari 2018, 74,25% untuk periode Februari 2018 dan 78,66% untuk periode Maret 2018. Nilai ini masih jauh dari target nilai ideal OEE yang telah ditetapkan oleh Seiichi Nakajima yaitu diatas 85%. Akar penyebab dari rendahnya nilai OEE tersebut adalah karena tingginya nilai six big losses yang telah dihitung.

Faktor yang menyebabkan rendahnya nilai efektivitas dan tingginya nilai Six Big Losses diantara lain yaitu breakdown pada mesin, penurunan kecepatan produksi, gangguan pada molding dan masih terdapat produk-produk yang tidak sesuai standar yang telah ditetapkan. Berdasarkan hasil pengolahan dan analisis yang telah dilakukan maka terdapat beberapa perbaikan yang dibutuhkan PT Dian Megah Indo Perkasa. Usulan perbaikan yang direkomendasikan meliputi eliminasi six big losses, pemberian seminar pelatihan pada seluruh operator mesin injection molding dan pembuatan standar operasional prosedur (SOP) guna meningkatkan nilai overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
