Morphofunctional characteristics of the parotid salivary glands of rabbits in postnatal ontogenesis
Get PDFThe rodent family unites a large number of animal species and is of interest to various areas scientific knowledge. Animal species from the rodent family are interesting because they occupy different ecological niches and are adapted to different conditions of existence. Many species of rodents feed exclusively on plant foods, but there are also omnivorous species whose dietary range includes insects, worms and other invertebrates, as well as bird eggs and small vertebrates. Examples include rats, guinea pigs, mice. As a result, the rodent family demonstrates biologically diverse group of species that are very different in appearance,with specific morphofunctional adaptations.Generally morphological and functional features of the large salivary glands in representatives of the rodent family in not currently studied

Overexpression of PDL-1 is a risk factor for lymph node metastasis in cervical cancer
Get PDFCervical cancer is the fourth most prevalent malignancy in women globally and and the 2nd in Indonesia. In 2008, the Indonesian Cancer Foundation projected that 52 million Indonesian women are at risk for cervical cancer, and that 36% of all cancer patients are cervical cancer patients. Increasing by 0.6% per year. There are 9,496 cervical cancer-related deaths in Indonesia, compared to an estimated 24,400 worldwide. The crude incidence rate of cervical cancer in Indonesia is 17 per 100.000 women. The majority of individuals with cervical cancer who passed away have received chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In recent years, tremendous progress has been made in immune therapy studies focused at preventing cancers from evading the immune response of the tumor. Among them is PD-I research. The association between PD-1 and its PDL-1 ligand suppresses cytotoxic T cells in the immune response to tumors. PDL-1 overexpression was also associated with a poor prognosis in a few other carcinomas. This study intends to determine whether PDL I overexpression is a risk factor for cervical cell carcinoma metastasis. Metastasis is indicative of a poor prognosis in cancer. 
Lateral inguinal hernia: A case report in a rural area
Get PDFInguinal hernia has the most presentation of all hernia cases, which is about 75% of cases. Some risk factors that increase the incidence of inguinal hernia are old age, male, connective tissue abnormalities, and low body mass index. External risk factors consist of smoking, chronic coughing and carrying heavy loads. Inguinal hernias can be identified from the earlier clinical course and given treatment as early as possible. Surgery is the only therapy for an inguinal hernia aimed at removing the peritoneal sac and covering the defects on the fascia in the inguinal wall. Cases of hernia in rural areas may have delayed treatment because of limited facilities and public awareness of its complications. Cases of inguinal hernia that are treated too late can be life-threatening. Some complications can arise. A comprehensive specific approach in patients with an inguinal hernia in rural areas can increase the cure rate for inguinal hernia sufferers

Job crafting among rehabilitation center employees
Get PDFThe goal of the present research was to study job crafting among personnel employed at a rehabilitation center in relation to variables such as age, education (bachelor’s degree, master’s degree) and job position (therapist, supervisor). Hypothesis, which states that any employee, regardless their education and position at work, can master job crafting (Tims et al., 2012) was once again supported by the present study. Analysis showed that data of bachelors, masters, managers and professionals (therapists) were not statistically different from each other. Studies (Lichtenthaler & Fishbach, 2019; Rudolph et al., 2017) have demonstrated the associations between job crafting, job satisfaction and work engagement. Therefore, it was interesting to explore these associations among people employed at a rehabilitation center. The findings showed that job crafting significantly predicted engagement
