Infant body weigth is used as a best indicator to measure infant growth and nutritional status. Body weight that not related on age, does not gain at least 500-600 gram for about three months, or over body weight, can be used to predict heath problem. Infant exercise stimulation is an effort to increase body weight so that infant gain on a normal pattern of weight. The objective of this study…
Infant growth assessment often focuses on “optimal” infant weights and lengths at specific ages, while de-emphasizing infant weight gain. Objective of this study was to examine infant growth patterns by measuring infant weight gain relative to birth weight
Air Susu Ibu (ASI) eksklusif merupakan salah satu makanan yang sangat penting bagi bayi guna mendukung proses pertumbuhan dan perkembangan yang optimal selama 6 bulan pertama. Namun, kurang dari 70% bayi yang mendapatkan ASI eksklusif di Kota Palembang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai pola pertambahan berat badan pada bayi yang menyusui eksklusif dan non-eksklusif. cross sectional design…
The Burden of Communicable Diseases in Europe (BCoDE) study aimed to calculate disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 31 selected diseases in the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA).
In 2016, the Transplantation Society of Australia and New Zealand, with the support of the Australian Government Organ and Tissue authority, commissioned a literature review on the topic of infectious disease transmission from deceased donors to recipients of solid organ transplants. The purpose of this review was to synthesize evidence on transmission risks, diagnostic test characteristics,…
Intubation and extubation of ventilated patients are not risk-free procedures in the intensive care unit (ICU) and can be associated with morbidity and mortality. Intubation in the ICU is frequently required in emergency situations for patients with an unstable cardiovascular or respiratory system. Under these circumstances, it is a highrisk procedure with life-threatening complications (20–5…
Extracts of seaweeds, seagrasses and mangroves from the southeast coast of India have been tested in vitro for antiviral activity against Newcastle disease, vaccinia, Semliki Forest, encephalomyocarditis and hepatitis Β viruses. In the primary test, of 73 extracts examined, 43 exhibited antiviral activity (> 50%) against at least any one of the viruses. Only two extracts, leaf of Bruguiera cyl…
Plants continue to be a major source for new chemical entities to develop novel therapeutic agents. Large number of plants has been shown to be active in vitro against a variety of human pathogenic viruses or their near congeners. In several cases the active compounds have been isolated and characterized
Seaweeds, seagrasses, and mangroves were studied for their antiviral activity against Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV). Of 73 extracts, 20 showed in virro anti-EMCV activity. Of these 20 extracts, seven were prophylactically and three were therapeutically active. Only two extracts, Cheilosporum spectabile and Rhizophora mucronata, were found to be effective with both in vitro and in vivo assay…
Osteoarthritis is a prevalent chronic disease that impacts quality of life and imposes a heavy economic burden. Despite this there is no confirmed treatment that could prevent progressive destruction of osteoarthritic joints. Mesenchymal stem cells with their regenerative and immunosuppressive properties have emerged as a potential therapy
