    Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still the leading cause of death according to WHO in 2021. CVD generally results in myocardial infarction (MI), which occurred after tissue ischemia. Echocardiography is most likely a diagnostic tool without invasive effects. This study aimed to compare the blood flow in pig research animals treated with ligases of the circumflex arteries. Measurements were made in the mitral valve (MV), tricuspid valve (TV), semilunar pulmonary valve (SLP), and semilunar aortic valve (AO) of velocity during systole (Vs), velocity during diastole (Vd), time average peak velocity (TAMAX), and blood flow pressure at three-time points: before ligase treatment, after acute infarction (60 min), and 8 weeks after ligase treatment. All parameters in MV group increased at 60 min and decreased at 8th weeks. On TV, TAMAX and pTAMAX decreased at 60 min and week 8. In SLP, VS, pVS, and Vd decreased at 60 min and increased at 8th week. The pVd and pTAMAX parameters decreased at 60 min and 8th week, while TAMAX increased at 60 min and decreased at 8th week. In AO, the TAMAX and pTAMAX parameters increased at 60 min and 8 weeks; the other parameters were similar to MV and TV patterns.Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still the leading cause of death according to WHO in 2021.

    Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui nilai Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) dan kreatinin pada kucing penderita Feline Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD). Kucing dengan FLUTD seringkali mengalami gangguan ginjal seperti azotemia dan kelainan ginjal kronis yang disebut Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) . Kedua kondisi tersebut terlihat dari tingginya kadar BUN dan Kreatinin dalam darah. Kadar BUN dan Kreatinin diperiksa dengan mengambil serum darah kucing penderita FLUTD menggunakan spuit sekali pakai berukuran 3 cc dan ditampung dalam tabung kemudian disentrifugasi dengan kecepatan 3000 rpm selama 10 menit. Alat yang digunakan untuk melakukan pemeriksaan BUN dan kreatinin adalah alat pemeriksaan kimia darah VetTest Idexx Laboratory®. Hasil pemeriksaan pada 25 ekor kucing terdapat 64% (16/25) mengalami peningkatan nilai BUN dan 36% (25/9) mengalami peningkatan nilai kreatinin. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kucing dengan FLUTD juga akan mengalami gangguan ginjal, sehingga diperlukan terapi tambahan untuk menurunkan kadar BUN dan kreatinin.Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) is one of the most common diseases affecting cats. One type of FLUTDthat often occurs is urinary tract obstruction. Urinary tract obstruction makes it difficult for cats to urinate, causing urea and creatinine to be reabsorbed into the bloodstream. This study aimed to examine of Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine values in cats with Feline Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD). Cats with FLUTD often had kidney problems such as azotemia and chronic kidney disorders called Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Both conditions can be seen from high levels of BUN and Creatinine in the blood. The BUN and Creatinine levels were examined by taking blood serum from cats with FLUTD using a 3 cc disposable syringe and accommodated in a plain tube and then centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes. The tool used to perform BUN and creatinine examinations is the VetTest Idexx Laboratory® blood chemistry examination tool. The result of the examination on 25 cats was 64% (16/25) had an increase in BUN values and 36% (9/25) had an increase in creatinine values. BUN and creatinine are waste products of metabolism that are filtered by the glomerulus and excreted in the urine. Elevated levels of BUN and creatinine in cats with FLUTD are due to the cat\u27s inability to urinate as a result of urinary tract obstruction or decreased glomerular filtration rate. Based on the results, it can be concluded that cats with FLUTD will also have kidney problems, and additional therapy is needed to reduce BUN and creatinine levels

    Broiler chickens are a vital global commodity, known for their rapid growth and efficiency, but their productivity has historically relied on Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGP), necessitating the development of safe alternatives. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)-curcumin nanofibers as a potential substitute for Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGP) in improving the growth performance of broiler chickens. The nanofibers were synthesized via the electrospinning technique at varying PVA concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 15%, and their morphology was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The in vitro assay evaluated curcumin release profiles were measured in phosphate buffer (PBS, pH 7,4) at 37 °C. A seven-day in vivo experiment involving 30 broiler hens categorized into 5 groups to assess the impact of supplementation on body weight, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio (FCR). The synthesized PVA- curcumin nanofibers exhibited optimal dimensions (100–135 nm), with gradual curcumin release measuered at 43,5–51,5% at 5 minutes and 49,27–64,5% at 120 minutes. While statistical analysis showed no significant difference (p> 0,05). The treatment group showed higher average daily gain (ADG) (99,49–115,4 g) and feed intake (FI) (118,76–129,11 g), resulting in better feed conversion ratio (FCR) (0,921–1,00) compared to the control group. In conclusion, PVA-curcumin nanofibers were successfully synthesized, demonstrating their potential to improve growth performance, and are suitable as an alternative non-antibiotic growth promoter in broilers.Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas penggunaan nanofiber yang terbuat dari polivinil alkohol (PVA) dan kurkumin sebagai alternatif pengganti antibiotic growth promotor (AGP) untuk meningkatakn performa pertumbuhan ayam broiler.

    Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Continuous use of topical NSAIDs in AD cases has been shown to cause adverse effects. Lissachatina fulica mucin (LFM) cream, a natural alternative, has been used for wound healing and can be used as a preventative or curative agent in AD. The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of LFM cream, exploring its potential as a preventative and curative measure in AD. A total of 36 male BALB/c mice were divided into three cream dosage groups: 0%, 5%, and 10%. The two treatments were preventive and curative, and the two testing times were 0 and 5 days, with three replicates each. Mice were induced with atopic dermatitis by applying 1% DNCB to a 1x1 cm area on their dorsal area for seven days. The preventive group used LFM cream for seven days before DNCB, while the curative group used it after DNCB. Blood samples were collected on days 0 and 5 of the treatment period and analyzed using a hematology analyzer. The data were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA with GraphPad Prism 10, followed by Tukey\u27s test at a 95% confidence level. The toxicity test confirmed that the LFM cream is non-toxic and safe for topical use. The DNCB compound 1% exhibited four main symptoms of atopic dermatitis: pruritus, erythema, excoriation, and lichenification. LFM cream was highly effective, significantly suppressing AD symptoms, with the ADSI score remaining below 2 (p<0.05). Specifically, the curative efficacy was demonstrated by a significant decrease in the ADSI score on day 5 (p<0.05). Hematological analysis revealed statistically significant differences (p<0.05) in the number of lymphocytes, neutrophils, and thrombocytes across groups. The LFM cream is effective and safe for preventative use and successfully treats acute AD at 5% concentration

    Tuberkulosis sapi (bTB) disebabkan oleh bakteri Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis). Tuberkulosis sapi pada sapi perah diyakini berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan kasus tuberkulosis karena dapat menular ke manusia (zoonosis), sehingga disebut Tuberkulosis Zoonotik. Penularan melalui mulut dapat terjadi dengan mengonsumsi susu atau produk susu yang terkontaminasi bakteri. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi prevalensi infeksi M. bovis sebagai bagian dari upaya mitigasi risiko penyakit bawaan makanan pada susu. Metode yang digunakan adalah bersifat deskriptif kualitatif, menggunakan pewarnaan AFB dan PCR dengan gen MPB70, RD1, CSB1, CSB2, dan CSB3 sebagai target amplifikasi DNA. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa prevalensi infeksi pada 60 sampel susu yang diuji dengan metode pewarnaan AFB adalah 0% (negatif), dan pada 6 sampel (10% dari semua sampel) yang diuji dengan PCR, prevalensi juga 0%. Simpulan penelitian ini adalah tidak ada M. bovis dalam sampel susu, menunjukkan risiko yang saat ini rendah, tetapi pemantauan berkelanjutan, diagnostik yang ditingkatkan, dan kolaborasi interdisipliner diperlukan untuk mengurangi penularan zoonotik dan dampak ekonomi. Upaya pencegahan dan pengendalian bTB di Indonesia berfokus pada promosi kesehatan seperti menghindari kontak dengan hewan terinfeksi, memasak daging secara menyeluruh, dan mengonsumsi susu olahanBovine tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis). Bovine tuberculosis in dairy cows is thought to contribute to an increase in tuberculosis cases because it can be transmitted to humans (zoonosis), hence the term Zoonotic Tuberculosis. Transmission through the mouth can occur by consuming milk or dairy products contaminated with bacteria. The objective of this study was to identify the prevalence of M. bovis infection as part of efforts to mitigate the risk of foodborne disease in milk. The study design was descriptive qualitative, using AFB staining and PCR with the MPB70, RD1, CSB1, CSB2, and CSB3 genes as DNA amplification targets. The results showed that the prevalence of infection in 60 milk samples tested using the AFB staining method was 0% (negative), and in 6 samples (10% of all samples) tested using PCR, the prevalence was also 0%. The conclusion is there is no M. bovis in milk, indicating a currently low risk, but ongoing surveillance, improved diagnostics, and interdisciplinary collaboration are needed to reduce zoonotic transmission and economic impacts. Efforts to prevent and control Bovine Tuberculosis in Indonesia focus on promoting community practices: avoiding contact with infected animals, cooking meat thoroughly, and consuming processed milk

    This study evaluates the effectivity and safety of Endo-1,4 -xylanase (Xylanase), Endo-1,3(4) beta-glucanase (Beta-glucanase), Endo-1,4 beta-glucanase (Cellulase), and α Amylase that packed in Ronozyme-AX ct (MGHSPHYT+) as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoter. A total of 64 chickens were used, divided into four groups, with each group divided into two replicates, 8 chickens per replicate. The groups were divided into treatment group, and groups administered with the different dosage of supplementation, namely 184, 230, and 276 gram/ton feed for 28 days, consecutively. Parameters such as weekly weight gain, final weight, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and carcass weight were observed to determine growth performance. Meanwhile, parameters such as mortality, blood hematology and biochemistry were observed to determine the safety of the supplementation. Based on the results, there was a significant difference on weekly weight gain, particularly in the second week, and in the final weight, with the group administered with 184 gram/ton feed showing the highest result. Meanwhile, other parameters such as FCR and carcass weight did not show any significant difference. This may be due to the enzymes not working directly to increase feed utilization but work with improving nutrient digestibility and utilization in the body. The safety parameters showed that the supplementation was relatively safe as no significant difference was observed in mortality, blood constituents and biochemistry
