Clinical profile and outcome of acute kidney injury in neonatal sepsis in a tertiary care centre
Authors: Durga Divya , Rudrappa Sudha 
Published: February 2017

Background: Septicemia remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among neonates with AKI complicating as many as 3.4 to 24% of them. The actual incidence of renal failure in all sepsis cases is not documented. There are several studies in the literature on renal failure in neonates which were based on older definitions using blood urea and urine output as parameters. The major limitation of the older studies was that they did not use the current acute kidney injury network (AKIN) definition. In the present study, we have attempted to investigate AKI in neonatal sepsis using the AKIN definition based on serum creatinine (Table1). We also attempted to determine the predictors of AKI in neonatal sepsis.Methods: The present study was an explorative study conducted in the neonatal unit of Cheluvamba hospital attached to Mysore Medical College and Research Institute in which a total of 50 neonates with clinical/ culture positive sepsis were enrolled during the period of June 2014 to June 2015.Results: These neonates were investigated for the presence of AKI based on serum creatinine values of three consecutive days and were divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of septic neonates with AKI and group 2 consisted of septic neonates without AKI. Both the groups were followed up till discharge or death. The risk factors associated with sepsis were compared in both the groups and predictors of morbidity and mortality associated with AKI in sepsis were also determined.Conclusions: Incidence and mortality associated with AKI in sepsis was found to be 24% and 75% respectively. Factors like PROM, foul smelling liquor, > 3 unclean vaginal examinations during labour were significant risk factors for development of AKI in sepsis. Culture positivity, associated meningitis, DIC, shock and need for assisted ventilation were poor prognostic indicators and were significantly associated with mortality.
To study the effectiveness of cord blood Albumin as a predictor of neonatal jaundice
Authors: George Nithu A. , M. K. Shyam Sudhir 
Published: February 2017

Background: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is one of the commonest problems in newborn. It can be due to different etiologies. Most often it is physiological jaundice. The main reasons for physiological jaundice is that in an infant the liver is not mature enough to handle the freely circulating bilirubin due to higher volume of short life erythrocytes in the circulation and low level of albumin. Early detection of neonatal jaundice is essential to prevent developing kernicterus as well as discharge the babies early. Albumin is synthesized by liver and helps in the transport of unconjugated bilirubin by binding to bilirubin it and thus making it nontoxic to the body. Low levels of albumin make bilirubin free and toxic to the body. Hence, this study was done to evaluate effectiveness of cord blood albumin as a predictor of neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia.Methods: 50 term healthy newborns were included in the study with the term babies of both genders from any mode of delivery, birth weight >2.5 kg, APGAR score more than 7 at 1st and 5th minutes of life and without Rh incapability. Cord blood albumin levels were measured. Blood test for bilirubin was done when required and baby was managed accordingly.Results: Out of the total 50 neonates enrolled, 7 belonged to group 1 (albumin <2.8 g/dl), 34 to group 2 (2.8-3.3 g/dl), and 9 to group 3 (>3.3 g/dl). Out of the total 7 neonates in group 1, 6 (85.71%) was icteric at 24-48 hours and 1 (14.29%) was icteric at >72 hours. All the 7 neonates developed Hyperbilirubinemia requiring phototherapy. 3 (42.86%) out the 7-neonate required phototherapy for more than 24 hours. Out of the total 34 neonates in group 2, 20 (58.82%) was icteric at >72 hours, 12 (35.29%) at 48-72 hours and 2 (5.88%) at 24-48 hours. Only 12 (35.29%) neonates had Hyperbilirubinemia requiring phototherapy. Out of the total 9 neonates in group 3, 1 was icteric at 48 - 72 hours and 8 was icteric at >72 hours. But only 2 had Hyperbilirubinemia requiring phototherapy.Conclusions: Cord blood albumin is an effective way to predict neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia in term healthy infants.
Comparative study of surgical management of humeral shaft fractures with dynamic compression plate in Henry’s and Thompson’s approach in adults
Authors: Deepak C. D. , D. V. Mahesh , Ravoof Abdul , Krishna Sai Sankosh 
Published: February 2017

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Fractures of the humeral shaft account for roughly 3% to 5% of all fractures. The predominant causes of humeral shaft fractures include simple falls or rotational injuries in the older population and higher energy mechanisms in the younger patients including motor vehicle accidents, assaults, fall from height and throwing injuries. Treatment options for humeral fractures vary according to the type of fracture, age group, bone density, soft tissue status and associated complications. Surgical management of shaft humerus fractures by plating can be done mainly through Thompson’s (posterior) approach and Henry’s (antero-lateral) approach.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The study was conducted in patients treated for shaft humerus fracture at Adhichunchanagiri Institute of Medical Science, BG Nagara from the month of August 2014 to January 2016. Twenty patients diagnosed as shaft humerus fracture were taken into the study, all were undergone open reduction and internal fixation using dynamic compression plate in Thompson’s and Henry approach. Patients’ age more than 18 years were taken up for the study. Patients were followed up at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 6 months.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The sample consisted of twenty shaft humerus fracture patients with 10 males and 10 females. The patients’ ages were more than 18 years where 13 cases (65%) between 26 to 55 years. Among these 20 patients, 10 involved the right side and 10 involved the left side. All patients achieved clinical and radiological union at 6 month follow up. According to Constant Murley Score, excellent result were found in 11 patients (55%), good in 2 patients (10%) and fair in 7 patients (35%). According to Mayo elbow performance index, 17 patients showed excellent outcome (85%) and 3 patients showed good outcome (15%).</p><strong>Conclusions:</strong>Dynamic compression plating is the best modality of management for the internal fixation of humeral shaft fractures. It is found that the fracture fixation of upper and middle one-third humerus in Henry’s approach is easier, lower one-third humeral fractures are not possible because the plate at the supracondylar ridge poses difficulty to fix. Fracture fixation of the lower one third and middle one third is easier in Thompson’s approach because of the flat surface of the bone and offers better plate contour.<p> </p>

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-CA">We report a case of postoperative osteoarthritis infection caused by <em>P. acnes</em> after shoulder arthroscopy<em>, and review possible preventive action. </em>A right-handed 24-year-old man presented an anterior instability of the left shoulder. The patient underwent an anterior stabilization by the latarjet procedure. Stabilization failed, requiring a second and third surgery. The patient returned 10 months later for suspected septic arthritis of his left shoulder. An arthroscopy lavage with bacteriological and anatomo-pathological sampling was carried out. The bacteriological results revealed a positive <em>P. acnes</em> culture. The patient was treated using antibiotherapy for 12 weeks with a combination of clindamicin and moxifloxacin. C-reactive protein (CRP) was negative two months after the onset of antibiotherapy. <em>P. acnes</em> is a anaerobic, non-sporulated, gram-positive bacillus. This commensal germ is part of the normal cutaneous flora and causes acne, but has also been recognized as a causative pathogen in osteoarticular infections since the 1990s, as described by Coden<strong>.</strong> Treatment is achieved via surgical debridement and intravenous antibiotics. We insist on preventive action in the form of a preoperative patient preparation protocol. Previous literature has underlined the important role of chlorhexidine or alcoholic iodinated polyvidone in the prevention of these infections. As <em>P. acnes</em> is a commensal germ of the patient's skin, prophylaxis should be reinforced by the thorough preparation of the surgery and surgical site. Clindamycin antibioprophylaxy specific to this germ should be administered for this surgery. To my knowledge, there is no specific antibioprophylaxy for shoulder surgery to date</span><span lang="EN-IN">.</span></p>

Authors: Bestari Anikha Widya 
Published: February 2017

Handling CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) final stage is mostly done in Indonesia is hemodialysis. Hemodialysis can prevent death, but not fully restore the quality of life of patients as before. Psychosocial problems such as lack of family support sometimes be a severe problem that must be faced by the patient. While diabetes mellitus which is etiology of PGK can increase the risk of morbidity and mortality for patients. This study aimed to analyze influence of family support and DM status with hemodialysis patient’s quality of life. This study is an observational analytic study with cross sectional design. Samples of this study are 72 patients on hemodialysis Installation RSU Haji Surabaya, which is calculated using a simple random sampling from hemodialysis schedule. Data is collected using interviews and secondary data on the patient diagnosis document. The questionnaire is WHOQOL-BREF which assess quality of life and family support questionnaire in accordance with the theory of family support from House. The results showed that there is a influence between family support (p = 0.005) and diabetes status (p = 0.003) on the status of the patient's quality of life. From these two variables known that DM status is strongest variable that influence quality of life. Therefore, interventions focused on controlling patients with DM and supportive therapy in the family. Keywords : Hemodialysis, Quality of Life, Family Support, Diabetes Mellitus (DM)

[abstFig src='/00290001/17.jpg' width='300' text='System architecture for sound source detection using a quadcopter with a microphone array' ] This paper addresses sound source detection in an outdoor environment using a quadcopter with a microphone array. As the previously reported method has a high computational cost, we proposed a sound source detection algorithm called multiple signal classification based on incremental generalized singular value decomposition (iGSVD-MUSIC) that detects the sound source location and temporal activity at low computational cost. In addition, to relax the estimation error problem of a noise correlation matrix that is used in iGSVD-MUSIC, we proposed correlation matrix scaling (CMS) to achieve soft whitening of noise. As CMS requires a parameter to decide the degree of whitening, we analyzed the optimal value of the parameter by using numerical simulation. The prototype system based on the proposed methods was evaluated with two types of microphone arrays in an outdoor environment. The experimental results showed that the proposed iGSVD-MUSIC-CMS significantly improves sound source detection performance, and the prototype system achieves real-time processing. Moreover, we successfully clarified the behavior of the CMS parameter by using a numerical simulation in which the empirically-obtained optimal value corresponded with the analytical result.**This work is an extension of our publication “Takuma Ohata et al.: Improvement in outdoor sound source detection using a quadrotor-embedded microphone array, IROS 2014, pp.1902-1907, 2014.”
Keuntungan Komparatif Usahatani Ubikayu di Daerah Produksi Utama di Lampung dan Jawa Timur
Authors: Suryana Achmad 
Published: February 2017

<p>Abstrak</p><p>Tanaman ubikayu mempunyai dua peranan, yaitu sebagai tanaman pangan dan tanaman perdagangan. Produk ubikayu berupa gaplek, pelet, dan tapioka merupakan komoditi ekspor yang menempatkan Indonesia pada urutan kedua setelah Thailand sebagai negara pengekspor ubikayu. Permintaan gaplek di pasar intemasional selama 10 tahun terakhir meningkat pesat terutama dari negara-negara MEE, tetapi Indonesia tidak sempat memanfaatkannya. Penyebabnya adalah elastisitas penawaran rendah karena pengelolaan usahatani ubikayu rakyat masih subsisten. Hal ini tercermin dari produksi ubikayu yang tidak mengalami kenaikan pada 10 tahun terakhir. Penyebab lainnya adalah permintaan ubikayu untuk bahan baku industri dalam negeri meningkat dan sebagian besar produksi ubikayu digunakan sebagai bahan pangan. Masalah pengembangan komoditi memang banyak, tetapi dapat kita golongkan pada dua macam masalah pokok, yakni: <br />l. Potensi pengadaan dilihat dari segi biaya produksi dan sumberdaya yang tersedia.<br />2. Kemampuan sistem tataniaga, yang harus tercermin pada kemampuan sistem itu memberikan respon terhadap perubahan permintaan pasar, di dalam maupun luar negeri.<br />Penelitian ini mencoba menemukan jawaban atas sebagian dari permasalahan pertama. Daerah Lampung dan Jawa Timur dipakai sebagai daerah penelitian karena kedua daerah ini merupakan propinsi utama penghasil ubikayu di Jawa dan luar Jawa.</p>

Published: February 2017

Pemerintah Daerah Tingkat II Kabupaten Situbondo sampai saat ini masih belum menetapkan wilayahnya untuk pengembangan kawasan agropolitan. Untuk itu sebelum program agropolitan dilaksanakan perlu dikaji terlebih dahulu tingkat keberlanjutan wilayah berbasis peternakan di Kabupaten Situbondo. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis indeks dan status keberlanjutan wilayah berbasis peternakan di Kabupaten Situbondo ditinjau dari lima dimensi keberlanjutan, yaitu: dimensi ekonomi, sosial budaya, infrastruktur dan teknologi, serta hukum dan kelembagaan. Penelitian meggunakan metode analisis Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) yang disebut RAP-BANGKAPET dan hasilnya dinyatakan dalam bentuk indeks dan status keberlanjutan. Untuk mengetahui atribut yang sensitif berpengaruh terhadap indeks dan status keberlanjutan dan pengaruh galat dilakukan analisis Leverage dan Monte Carlo. Hasil analisis keberlanjutan menunjukkan bahwa dimensi ekologi berada pada status kurang berkelanjutan (46,50%), dimensi ekonomi cukup berkelanjutan (69,53%), dimensi sosial budaya cukup berkelanjutan (55,14%), dimensi infrastruktur dan teknologi kurang berkelanjutan (45,48%), serta dimensi hukum dan kelembagaan kurang berkelanjutan (47,46%). Dari 73 atribut yang dianalisis, 24 atribut yang perlu segera ditangani karena sensitif berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan indeks dan status keberlanjutan dengan tingkat galat (error) yang sangat kecil pada taraf kepercayaan 95 persen. Dalam rangka meningkatkan status keberlanjutan ke depan (jangka panjang), skenario yang perlu dilakukan adalah skenario progresif-optimistik dengan melakukan perbaikan secara menyeluruh terhadap semua atribut yang sensitif dalam peningkatan status kawasan.

This paper aims to give description about how to use frame analysis in Public Relations
(PR) research. The author use two framing models: Entman and Pan & Kosicki. The
object is organization official statement about particular issue. Frame analysis method
rarely used in Public Relations research. This methods commonly use in journalism
study, to analyse the news in media. Meanwhile, the key word of framing is the social
construction of reality. Organization can make social construction of realty in their
official statement. In acacemic term, frame analysis in PR research is useful to know
how organization positioned themselves in particular situation. Other benefit is use
to evaluat whether the organization frame is conformable with the public opinion
or agenda setting media or not. In practical term, frame analysis give benefit for PR
practitioner to create the message that can be undserstood by public, also give positive
image for organization.
