Absract: Tuberculosis is an acute or chronic infectious disease caused by Gram positive bacil, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which predominantly infect the lungs. The diagnosis of lung tuberculosis in adults is based on the finding of these mycobacyteria in the microscopical examination of sputum. This was a descriptive experimental study to obtain the mycobacteria in patients’ sputum stained with Ziehl Neelsen method. Subjects were outpatients and inpatients clinically diagnosed as tuberculosis at the Internal Department of Sitti Maryam Hospital in Manado. The results showed that of 87 samples, there were 48 males (55%) and 39 females (45%). Age groups of 0-15 years consisted of 1 sample (1%); 16-20 years 0 sample (0%); 21-60 years 79 samples (91%); and >60 years 7 samples (8%). The microscopical examination showed positive results in 27 samples (37.0%) and negative results in 60 samples (69.0%). Conclusion: Mycobacterium tubercuosis infections were more frequent in males than in females. The most frequent age group was productive age, and the least frequent ages were children and teenagers. The number of positive results of sputum examination for Mycobacterium tuberculosis were less than negative results.Keywords: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, lung tuberculosis.Abstrak: Tuberkulosis paru adalah penyakit yang menular akut maupun kronis yang terutama menyerang paru, yang disebabkan oleh bakteri tahan asam (BTA) berbentuk batang yang bersifat Gram positif (Mycobacterium tuberculosis). Diagnosis tuberkulosis paru pada dewasa dapat ditegakkan dengan ditemukan BTA pada pemeriksaan mikroskopik dahak. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif ekperimental untuk menemukan kuman Mycobacterium tuberculosis pada sputum penderita dengan diagnosa klinis tuberkulosis di Poliklinik dan Rawat Inap Penyakit Dalam RSI Sitti Maryam Manado. Teknik pewarnaan BTA menggunakan metode Ziehl Neelsen. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan dari 87 sampel, 48 sampel (55%) berjenis kelamin laki-laki dan 39 sampel (45%) berjenis kelamin perempuan. Jumlah sampel untuk kelompok usia 0-15 tahun sebesar 1 sampel (1%); 16-20 tahun 0 sampel (0%); 21-60 tahun 79 sampel (91%); dan >60 tahun 7 sampel (8%). Pada pemeriksaan sputum ditemukan BTA pada 27 sampel (37,0%) sedangkan pada 60 sampel (69,0%) tidak ditemukan. Simpulan: Pengidap tuberkulosis berjenis kelamin laki-laki lebih banyak dari pada perempuan, dengan kelompok usia tersering pada usia produktif dan paling sedikit pada usia anak dan remaja. Pemeriksaan sputum BTA positip lebih sedikit dibandingkan dengan BTA Negatip.Kata kunci: BTA, tuberkulosis paru.

Abstract Introduction: Physiotherapeutic rehabilitation is used to optimize functional recovery following a distal radial fracture. Being the most common upper limb fracture in all age groups, the DRF peaks in young men and in post-menopausal women with an incidence ratio of 1:4. To date, however, work on leap motion control based rehabilitation of patients with distal radius fracture is limited. This research aims to assess the efficacy of immersive virtual reality in patients with DRF. Methods: In an experimental study, subjects (n = 40) with DRF will be recruited. The participants will be enrolled into either an experimental or control group with 1:1 allocation ratio. Following the primary assessment and allocation, the participants in the experimental group will receive both leap motion control and conventional therapy over a period of 6-week. Participants in the conventional group would undergo only conventional therapy. Throughout the treatment duration and following 6 weeks, daily living activity performance, the hand function and mental status will be assessed in the form of questionnaires.Discussion: The goal of this experimental study is to examine the impact of leap motion control after DRF on improving the functional activity and in turn quality of life. Conclusion: To conclude, this research seeks to examine the rapid and long term effects of leap motion control in DRF patients. The study findings would help prospective patients with DRF, which may include a newly designed approach to rehabilitation.

An experimental study was performed investigating the influence of handrail height on the ability of stairway users to generate stabilizing forces and moments, with the aim of improving stairway safety by developing better handrail design standards. The experiments involved measurement of the maximum forces and moments that subjects were able to exert on a handrail while they stood stationary in an upright position. Two age groups were tested: young (20 to 45 years) and elderly (59 years and over), with a total of 35 subjects. All subjects showed a strong linear dependence on handrail height in generating stabilizing forces and moments. Ability to generate forward/backward forces and forward/backward moments increased linearly with increasing handrail height. Ability to generate upward force decreased linearly with increasing handrail height. Based on the results, an optimal design range for handrail height was estimated.
