Efficacy of Peperomia Pellucida Nanoemulsion in Preventing Surgical Site Infection After Laparotomy: A Randomized Control Trial
No full textBackground: Surgical site infection (SSI) post-laparotomy significantly increases morbidity,
mortality, and healthcare costs. This study evaluates the efficacy of Peperomia pellucida
nanoemulsion cream in preventing SSI compared to standard care in laparotomy patients at Haji
Adam Malik Hospital, Medan.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial involved laparotomy patients randomized into intervention
(Peperomia pellucida nanoemulsion cream) and control groups. SSI incidence, length of stay, and
wound healing were assessed using CDC criteria over 30 days post-surgery. Statistical analysis
used chi-square and t-tests (p<0.05).
Results: The intervention group showed significantly lower SSI rates compared to controls (5% in
the intervention group (n=40) versus 25% in controls (n=40; p=0.012)). Length of hospital stay
was shorter in the intervention group (7.2 ± 2.1 days (intervention) vs. 11.5 ± 3.4 days (control;
p<0.001).Wound healing was also more rapid in the intervention group (14.3 ± 4.2 days vs. 21.1 ±
5.6 days; p<0.001). Peperomia pellucida demonstrated effective antimicrobial, antioxidant, and
wound healing properties through its bioactive compounds.
Conclusion: Peperomia pellucida nanoemulsion66 PagesTesis Magiste
Karakteristik Penyakit Vesiko-bulosa Autoimun pada Anak di RSHUP. Adam Malik Medan dan RSUD. Pirngadi Medan pada Tahun 2008-2015
No full textPenyakit vesiko-bulosa autoimun atau penyakit kulit berlepuh adalah
kelainan kulit yang ditandai dengan timbulnya ruam primer berupa vesikel dan
bula. Vesikel atau bula terjadi akibat gangguan kohesi sel-sel intradermal atau
adhesi derm-epidermal junction yang dapat menyebabkan terjadinya influks
cairan. Penelitian mengenai penyakit vesiko-bulosa masih belum pernah
dilakukan pada Universitas Sumatera Utara sehingga ini menjadi alasan peneliti
untuk tertarik melakukan penelitian mengenai penyakit vesiko-bulosa autoimun
pada anak.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat karakteristik penyakit
vesiko-bulosa autoimun pada anak di RSUP. H. Adam Malik Medan dan RSUD.
Pirngadi Medan pada tahun 2008-2015. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan cara
melihat data sekunder yang berupa data rekam medis pasien penyakit vesikobulosa
autoimun pada anak di RSUP. H. Adam Malik Medan dan RSUD. Pirngadi
medan dari tahun 2008 hingga 2015. Dan penelitian ini menggunakan metode
total sampling.
Hasil penelitian ini didapatkan jumlah pasien penyakit vesiko-bulosa
autoimun pada anak di kedua rumah sakit tersebut adalah sebanyak 10 orang.
Dimana 1 pasien pemfigus (10%), 3 pasien pemfigoid bulosa (30%) dan 6 pasien
epidermolisis bulosa (60%) tidak di jumpai pasien dermatitis herpetiformis
maupun chronic bullous disease of childhood. Kategori umur dari penderita
adalah umur 0 – 5 tahun (30%), umur 6 – 11 tahun (10%) dan umur 12 – 18 tahun
(60%). Jenis kelamin dari pasien di kedua rumah sakit tersebut memiliki
persentasi antara lain laki-laki (30%) dan perempuan (70%). Pengobatan yang
dilakukan adalah pengobatan sistemik (33,3%) dan pengobatan topikal (66,6%).
Dari penelitian ini dapat ditarik kesimpulan Pada kedua rumah sakit
tersebut khususnya pasien penyakit vesiko-bulosa autoimun pada anak memiliki
karaktersitik yang berbeda, dengan jumlah pasien sebanyak 10 orang, dan tipe
yang paling sering muncul adalah epidermolisis bulosa. pada umur biasanya
muncul pada 12 – 18 tahun dan jenis kelamin yang sering terkena adalah
perempuan. Adapun jenis pengobatan yang sering dilakukan adalah pengobatan
sistemik.Autoimmune vesicobullous disease or skin blister disease is a skin
disorder that is characterized by the onset in the form of primary vesicles and
bullous. Autoimmune vesicobullous disease occur due to disruption of cohesion
or intradermal cell adhesion derm-epidermal junction which can lead to the
occurance of the fluid influx. The study of autoimunne vesicobullous disease still
has not been done at the university north sumatera and this is the main reason
researches interested in conducting study on autoimmune vesicobullous disease.
The purpose of this study was to observe the characteristic of autoimmune
vesicobullous disease on children in RSUHP. Adam Malik Medan and RSUD.
Pirngadi Medan years 2008-2015. The study was done by looking at form
of secondary data medical record of patient autoimmune vesicobullous disease on
children in RSUP. H. Adam Malik Medan and RSUD. Pirngadi Medan from
2008-2015. This study done by using total sampling method.
The result showed on both hospitals brings the number of patients at the
two hospitals was as many as 10 people. Where 1 patient of pemphigus (10%), 3
bullous pemphigoid (30%) and 6 epidermolysis bullosa (60%), dermatitis
herpetiformis and chronic bullous disease of childhood is not found on both
hospitals. Category age of sufferers are aged 0-5 years (30%), age 6-11 years
(10%) and age 12-18 years (60%). The gender of patient in both hospitals show
that male is (30%) and female (70%). The treatment that used in both hospitals is
systemic treatment (33,3%) and topical treatment (66,6%).
The conclusion of this study is patient in particular of autoimmune
vesicobullous disease in children have a different charactheristic, both hospitals
brings the number of patients was as many as 10 people, and the most frequent
type is epidermolyisis bullosa. at the age of usually appear on 12 – 18 years of
age and gender are often affected are women. And the most used treatment is
topical treatment.61 HalamanSkripsi Sarjan

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
