The Prevalence of Absence of the Palmaris Longus Muscle among Medical Students in Benghazi, Libya
No full textPalmaris longus muscle (PL) is one of the most superficial flexor muscles of the forearm. It is slender and fusiform in shape which lies medial to flexor carpi radialis muscle. It exhibits variability in its prevalence across various ethnicities and geographical areas. Six hundred sixty medical students (275 males, 385 females) aged between 17 to 25 years were included after their consent and examined for the prevalence of absence of the PL muscle tendon. Each student was initially asked to do the Schaeffer‘s test if not visible then simultaneously followed by Thompson‘s test and Pushpakumar‘s "two-finger sign" for the assessment of the PL tendon. 660 medical students in Benghazi-Libya. The overall absence of palmaris longus was seen in 163 students (24.7%) 56 of whom were males (20.4%) and 107 of whom were females (27.8%). Palmaris longus was found absent unilaterally in 14.85% of the students and bilaterally in 9.85% of the students. In comparison to males (20.4%), females had a somewhat higher prevalence of Palmaris longus absent (27.8%). Palmaris longus was absent in 6.52% (43 students) on the right side and in 8.33% (55 students) on the left side. The left-side agenesis was seen in 34 females (8.8%) and 21 males (7.6%). The right-side agenesis was seen in 28 females (7.3%) and 15 males (5.5%). Out of 65 (9.8%) bilateral agenesis, 45 (11.7%) were females and 20 (7.3%) were males. PL muscle is very useful in plastic and orthopedic surgeries. Overall, the palmaris longus was absent in 24.7% of the entire sample. It is possible to carry out more research to determine the relationship between the palmaris longus muscle and several factors including hand dominance, ethnicity, etc
Reed Fibers Revolutionize Epoxy Composite Strength
No full textIn recent years, natural fibers have gained significant attention from the global research community due to their advantageous properties over industrial fibers. This study investigates the impact of reed fiber reinforcement on the mechanical properties of epoxy composites. Despite extensive research on various natural fibers, there is a knowledge gap regarding the use of reed fibers in composite materials. This research aims to explore how reed fiber orientation affects the tensile and compressive strength of epoxy composites. Reed fibers, cut to 100 mm in length and 2 mm in width, were embedded in epoxy resin at orientations of 0°, 45°, and 90° using hand molding techniques. The samples were cured at 75°C and subjected to mechanical testing. Results indicated that fibers oriented at 0° provided the highest mechanical strength, while the 0°/90° configuration resulted in the lowest strength. This study highlights the potential of reed fibers to enhance the mechanical properties of epoxy composites, emphasizing the significance of fiber orientation in optimizing composite performance

Analysis of Length of Patient Service Time on Patient Satisfaction Using the Balanced Scorecard Perspective at Rsud Dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu Year 2024
Full text linkIt is necessary to measure the performance of a company in this case, namely hospitals. Hospital directors who apply the Balanced Scorecard method will be able to measure how hospital business units can improve performance. The perspectives in the balanced scorecard used as tools in this research are the customer perspective and the business process perspective. The aim of this research is to see the relationship between the length of waiting for patient service and patient satisfaction at RSUD Dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu. The research design used in this research is mixed method research combining quantitative and qualitative research. The sample in this study was 201 samples and the number of informants was 7 people. The results of the study stated that there was a relationship between waiting time for outpatient services, waiting time for inpatient services, waiting time for laboratory services, waiting time for pharmaceutical services and waiting time for radiology services with patient satisfaction shown by a p value <0.05. Based on the multivariate test, it can be seen that the strength of the relationship is greatest for the variable waiting time for outpatient services and patient satisfaction at RSUD Dr. M Yunus Bengkulu with a relationship strength of 1,000. Based on interviews with research informants, it can be seen that outpatient, inpatient, laboratory, radiology and pharmacy services require longer service times than the established standards. The long service time is caused by a large number of patients, a network that does not support it and a lack of staff. The long service time causes patients to feel dissatisfied with the services provided by RSUD dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu. It is recommended for the director of RSUD Dr. M Yunus Bengkulu to be able to improve services in outpatient, inpatient, laboratory, radiology and pharmacy units by paying attention to service times so that patients can feel satisfied with the service. It is also hoped that it can provide facilities to support service times so that it can increase patient satisfaction in terms of the policy brief created by the autho
