The Difference Incidence of Maternal Uterine Inertia Between Labor With and Without Anemia in Hospital of dr. Soebandi Jember
Get PDFOne of the indirect causes of maternal death is anemia. Anemia in pregnancy is a woman with a hemoglobin level below 11 g / dl caused by iron deficiency in pregnant women so that the hemoglobin level becomes low and cannot meet the need for oxygen to perfusion to the tissues. This consumes energy in the affected muscles and buildup of lactic acid which causes fatigue and reduced muscle contraction during labor. Inadequate uterine contractions are called uterine inertia and are characterized by a prolonged phase of labor, which is weak, rarely and short duration. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the incidence of uterine inertia between labor and anemia released in RSD dr. Soebandi Jember. This study was analytic observational with a cross sectional research design. The study population was all pregnant women who had improved labor and were included in the medical record at RSD Dr. Soebandi Jember period January 1, 2017 - December 31, 2017. Samples from this study were mothers who had approved the delivery and fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria that had been determined until the number of samples could be fulfilled. The number of samples in this study were 76 samples. The type of data used in this study is secondary data obtained by researchers from the medical records of pregnant women who have received labor. The data included in this study contain demographic data consisting of the age of pregnant women and parity, clinical data in the form of uterine inertia and laboratory data consisting of anemia status. In analyzing the data with Chi Square test (X²), a significance value of 0.011 was obtained so that it can be concluded that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted which means that the incidence of uterine inertia between free labor and anemia is not important in RSD Dr. Soebandi Jember.

No full textSoil-transmitted Helminths (STH) is a group of worms whose life cycle through the soil. The species of STH are roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides), whipworm (Trichuris trichiura), hookworms (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale), and Strongyloides stercoralis. STH causes helminthiasis that infects more than 1.5 billion people or 24% of the world's population. Jember has many plantation areas. One of the plantations in Jember is Garahan Kidul plantation located in Sidomulyo village, Silo Sub-district, Jember. Soil on plantations tends to be moist and loose. This condition is ideal for the development of STH eggs and larvae. The general purpose of this study was to differentiate the numbers of soil contamination by STH eggs and larvae in soil samples in the garden area, riverside, and worker housing taken in the coffee plantation area in Silo District, Jember. This type of research is observational analytic with cross sectional research design. Soil samples are taken in the garden area, riverside, and worker housing that has a loose or not hard and moist soil texture. The results of the observation found that there were 4 eggs of Ascaris lumbricoides, 6 eggs and larvae of hookworm, and 2 eggs and larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis. There is the same amount of soil contamination at the location of the garden and riverside, which are 2 positive samples or 5.71% with a density of 0.02 eggs and larvae / gram of soil, while the number of soil contamination at the workers housing location is 8 positive samples or 25.71 % with a density of 0.11 eggs and larvae / gram of soil. Data were analyzed using Fisher's test. The results of data analysis showed a value of p = 0.0693 (p> 0.05) so that there were no differences in the number of soil contamination by STH eggs and larvae in the garden and river bank locations and p = 0.042 (p <0.05) so that there were differences the number of soil contamination by STH eggs and larvae at the location of worker housing with the location of garden and riverside.

Get PDFAbstract
Gentamicin usage can cause the damage of liver structure and function. The basic mechanism inducing liver damage from gentamicin is lipid peroxidation in cell membrane and the suppresion of antioxidant defence system in liver. Antioxidant in cassava leaf such as vitamin C, carotene, flavonoid, dan mineral can protect liver from drug toxicity effect. This research aimed to determine hepatoprotective effect of cassava leaf through microscopic observation of liver histopathology slide of mice induced by gentamicin. The research design was post test only control group design. Mice were divided into five groups, normal group, positive control (gentamicin 80 mg/kg b.w.); P1, P2, and P3 (gentamicin 80 mg/kg b.w. and cassava leaf extract 150 mg/kg b.w., 300 mg/kg b.w., 450 mg/kg b.w. respectively, for 14 days). The average score of liver cell damage was determined by microscopic observation of 200 liver cells undergoing parenchymal degeneration, hidrophic degeneration, and necrosis. One Way Anova analysis showed significant difference among the groups (p<0,05) and Post Hoc Tukey HSD test showed that cassava leaf extract at the dose level of 450 mg/kg b.w. resulted significant liver cell characteristic improvement in liver histophatology slide (p<0,05) compared to positive control group. It could be concluded that cassava leaf extract had protective effect on gentamicin-induced hepatotoxicity in mice.

Analysis of Morphology and Erythrocyte Count in Rat after Electrical Exposure
Get PDFElectrical burns cause high mortality and morbidity and various complications, although the incidence is only 4% of all burns. Joule heating phenomenon occurs in electric burn patients which cause changes in erythrocyte morphology resulting hypercoagulability that contribute to the formation of thrombus. Changes in erythrocyte morphology may cause tissue oxygenation disorders and decrease in erythrocyte count leading to hypoxia. Until now there have been no reports of changes in erythrocyte morphology and reduction in the number of erythrocytes in burn patients due to electricity. This study aims to observe and analyze morphological and erythrocyte count in rats after electrical exposure of 140 V for 17 seconds. This is a true experimental laboratories study with post-test only control group design. The sample used were 24 rats consisting of one control group (K) and five treatment groups (P). Treatment groups were distinguished by days of blood sampling that is days 0 (P1), 3 (P2), 7 (P3), 10 (P4), and 14 (P5) post electrical exposure of 140 V for 17 seconds. Assessment in erythrocyte morphology was performed using giemsa staining that observed with 1000x magnification while erythrocyte count was performed using improved neubauer counting chamber. One Way Anova showed that there was no significant change in rats erythrocyte count after electrical exposure of 140 V for 17 seconds (p = 0.110). Descriptive analysis showed that there is morphological changes in erythrocyte morphology after electrical exposure of 140 V for 17 seconds, in terms of shape there are more fragmentosit, microsite, tear drops, stomatocytes, and cell target, in terms of size there are more microsite, and in terms of color there are more hypochromic erythrocytes.
