Surgical treatment of congenital umbilical hernia in a Siamese cat
Full text linkHernia melibatkan penonjolan organ visceral perut melalui lubang ke dalam kantung yang terdiri dari peritoneum, tunika flava, dan kulit. Hernia umbilikalis secara eksplisit mengacu pada penonjolan organ dalam perut di umbilikus. Studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan dalam mendiagnosis dan mengobati hernia umbilikalis kongenital pada pasien kucing siam. Berdasarkan temuan riwayat dan klinis, kucing siam didiagnosis menderita hernia umbilikalis. Perawatan melibatkan laparotomi perut untuk mengembalikan isi hernia ke dalam rongga perut. Pasca operasi, kucing tersebut diobati dengan antibiotik amoksisilin dan obat anti inflamasi deksametason (Glucortin®). Luka operasi sembuh setelah hari kedelapan setelah operasi.A hernia involves the protrusion of abdominal visceral organs through an opening into a sac composed of the peritoneum, tunica flava, and skin. An umbilical hernia refers explicitly to protrusion of the abdominal viscera at the umbilicus. This case study aims to enhance skills in diagnosing and treating congenital umbilical hernias in a Siamese cat patient. Based on historical and clinical findings, the Siamese cat was diagnosed with an umbilical hernia. Treatment involved an abdominal laparotomy to reposition the hernia contents back into the abdominal cavity. Post-surgery, the cat was treated with the antibiotic amoxicillin and the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone (Glucortin®). The surgical wound healed by the eighth day after surgery
Pattern of Antibiotic Resistance in Salmonella sp. Bacteria Contaminating Fresh Faeces of Laying Hens in Kediri District, West Lombok Regency
Full text linkAntibiotic resistance has become a common problem in poultry farming in Indonesia. One of them is caused by improper use of antibiotics. This study aims to determine the pattern of resistance of Salmonella sp. isolated from laying hens to antibiotics. The samples used in this study were thirty samples of fresh faeces of laying hens from Kediri District, West Lombok Regency. The samples were isolated and identified through Gram staining and biochemical tests (indole, methyl red-Voges Proskauer, triple sugar iron agar, citrate, and urease), resulting in ten positive samples of Salmonella sp. The study continued with antibiotic resistance testing using disc diffusion or Kirby-Bauer methods. The antibiotics used in the study were aztreonam, ciprofloxacin, streptomycin, chloramphenicol, and tetracycline. The results showed that Salmonella sp. has been resistant to some antibiotics. The highest resistance levels are streptomycin and tetracycline at 50% (5/10), while the lowest is ciprofloxacin at 10% (1/10). Antibiotics that are still sensitive are aztreonam 90% (9/10) and chloramphenicol 100% (10/10). The findings of this study conclude that there is a pattern of antibiotic resistance in laying hens farms that can have a negative impact on human and animal health
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Medical waste poisoning in a cat and the success of healing therapy at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Educational Mandalika University
Full text linkKeracunan pada kucing seringkali disebabkan oleh perilakunya yang seringkali menyelidiki apa yang dilihat dan ditemukannya. Tulisan ini melaporkan kasus keracunan pada kucing dengan hasil pemeriksaan klinis, pemeriksaan hematologi, dan terapi pada kucing berumur tiga tahun dengan gejala lemas, pucat, dan muntah cairan berbusa. Pemeriksaan hematologi menunjukkan kucing mengalami infeksi dan anemia makrositik hiperkromik. Oleh karena itu, kucing tersebut didiagnosis keracunan. Pengobatan diberikan dengan anti dot, terapi suportif Ringer laktat, anti inflamasi, dan multivitamin sebagai pengobatan lanjutan hingga sembuh selama seminggu di Rumah Sakit Hewan Universitas Pendidikan Mandalika.Poisoning in cats is often caused by their behavior, which often investigates what they see and find. This paper reported a case of poisoning in a cat with the results of clinical examination, hematological examination, and therapy in a three-year-old cat with symptoms of weakness, paleness, and vomiting foamy fluid. Hematological examination revealed that the cat had an infection and hyperchromic macrocytic anemia. Therefore, the cat was diagnosed with poisoning. Treatment with anti-dot, ringer lactate supportive, anti-inflammatory, and multivitamins was administered as follow-up treatment until he recovered for a week at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Educational Mandalika University
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
