Background: It has been since antiquity that the importance of amniotic fluid and fetal growth with perinatal outcome is being documented. But the lacunae lies in studying the relationship between borderline amniotic fluid and perinatal outcome. The following study was undertaken to provide recent data that would help predict perinatal outcome in borderline AFI pregnancies.Methods: About 144 patients were considered in the study OPD/IPD patients in obstetrics and gynecology department in Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and Hospital, with about 72 cases with borderline amniotic fluid index (5-8 cm) and controls with amniotic fluid index ≥9-25 cm. Patients were selected and subjected to history taking, examination, ultrasound test with doppler studies and perinatal outcome documented over a period of one year.Results: The incidence of borderline AFI in my study was 16%. 58% were primigravidas. Meconium stained liquor was found in 18% cases compared to 7% controls. Low birth weight was found in 12.5% cases and 2.7% in controls. On applying statistical test analysis chi square test, it was found that borderline amniotic fluid index in relation to presence of meconium stained amniotic fluid and low birth weight, p value was found to be statistically significant (<0.05).Conclusions: Borderline amniotic fluid and perinatal outcome had significant relationship in terms of meconium stained liquor and birth weight while rest had no significance. Thus, borderline amniotic fluid patients require vigilant fetal surveillance.

Objective: To compare the measurement of POP-Q components between multiparous and nulliparous women. Method: This study is a cross-sectional research conducted in several hospitals in Makassar during the period of June to October 2012, with 270 women as the subjects. Subjects were divided into three groups: nulliparous, parity 1-2, and parity 3 (multiparous). We analyzed the mean POP-Q components results between 3 groups using t-test, analysis of prolapse based on POP-Q components measurement, and analysis of correlation between risk factors with prolapse was done using Chi-square test. Result: There is a significant difference in POP-Q components measurement between multiparous and nulliparous women, consecutively for: Aa point -2.14 and -2.97 cm, Ba point -2.11 and -2.99 cm, C point -5.69 and -6.86 cm, gh 3.33 and 2.70 cm, pb 2.60 and 3.27 cm, TVL 8.65 and 9.06 cm, Ap point -2.35 and -2.93 cm, Bp point - 2.61 and -2.96 cm, D point -6.61 and -7.42 cm. In multiparous women, points Aa, Ba, C, D, Ap and Bp became more prolapsed, gh became longer, while pb and TVL became shorter. Conclusion: The proportion of prolapse is higher in multiparous women with significant associations with age, body mass index, education level, and history of heavy physical work, delivering a large baby and use of hormonal contraceptives.

AbstractThe objective of the present study was to identify the Prolactin Receptor (PRLR) gene polymorphism related to litter size traits. The study included 101 Topigs 20 line of sows with 426 litters. The traits studied were: Total Number of Born (TNB), Number of Born Alive (NBA), Number of Still Born (NSB), and Number of MUMmified (NMUM) piglets. Polymorphism was identified with the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Allelic and genotype frequencies and deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were verified with the chi-square test. Analysis of litter size traits was performed using the General Linear Model, which included the potential environmental effects. Additive and dominant allele variances were observed by the regression procedure. In the studied population of sows, the frequency of heterozygotes (0.5149) for PRLR gene exceeded the total number of AA (0.0198) and BB (0.4653) homozygotes, which resulted in a high proportion of B allele (0.7228). The results for PRLR showed statistically significant (P<0.05) differences in first parity sows between BB and AB genotypes for TNB and NBA. Significant differences(P<0.05) were recorded in third parity sows between BB and AB genotypes for NBA, and in AA genotypeversusAB and BB genotypes for NMUM. The fourth and subsequent parity sows of AA genotype had a significantly higher (P<0.05) rate of NBA as compared with those of AB and BB genotypes. In all parities analysed, the difference between the BB and AB genotypes for NBA was statistically significant (P<0.05). Interpretation of the results at the levels of phenotypes and either additive or dominant variance was quite difficult due to the small number of AA homozygous sows. The calculation model yielded a significant effect (P<0.05) as well as tendency (P<0.1) for the mentioned effects except for age at first farrowing.

Background:From the results of a preliminary study conducted at the Kolakaasi Puskesmas and Latambaga Puskesmas, through direct interviews and direct observation that out of 10 (ten) health workers who were observed, 7 (seven) were active smokers and 3 (three) were non-smokers. Therefore, through this research, the researcher wants to conduct in-depth research related to the smoking habits of health workers in which a health worker should be able to provide a good example for the community. Methods:This research is an analytical survey using a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were 106 all health workers in Latambaga District, with a sample size of 84 respondents using the sampling techniqueSimple random sampling. Result:Based onanalysis of the chi square test for the benefit variable having a significance level of 95% was obtained p-value = 0.000 <? = 0.05, so Ho is rejected. The constraint variable based on the chi square test analysis has a significance level of 95%, the obtained p-value = 0,000 <? = 0.05, so Ho is rejected. Conclusion:There is a relationship between perceived benefits and constraints with habits smoking health personnel in the Latambaga District, Kolaka Regency.

The relationship with weaning weight in the region of Kedurus RW 03 sub-district of Karangpilang Surabaya. ASI (mother’s milk) given mandatory in infants from birth, and when a baby enters the age to 6 months, baby food introduced on new companion. ASI (mother’s milk) could still be forwarded until the child is two years old. However, the phenomenon that there are many mothers who do the weaning age of 2 years. This research aims to analyze the relationship with weaning weight in the region of Kedurus RW 03 sub-district of Karangpilang Surabaya.The design used in this study was observational, analytic. The approach used in this study is a “Cross Sectional”. the entire research population mother who does weaning for 1 month in the region of 15 people with Simple Random Sampling techniques. The independent variable is the dependent variable and weaning weight. Instruments questionnaire and KMS, analyzed using test Chi – Square with significant levels of α = 0,05 .Result of research the majority of age of weaning <2 years and almost half of (66,6%) it down (46,6%). Chi - Square test analysis results showed, ρ = 0.042 >< α = 0.05 or ρ<α then, it can be concluded that H0 is denied, which means there is a relationship between weaning weight. This research, it could be concluded that there is a relationship between weaning weight. Mothers are expected to not only provide exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, however, still have to be given for 2 years.> <α then, it can be concluded that H0 is denied, which means there is a relationship between weaning weight.

Quality in a Hospital Service is closely related to Inpatient Patient Satisfaction in Hospitals in Indonesia. Patient satisfaction is one of the important indicators to control the quality of health services in hospitals. The results of the study indicate that the level of patient satisfaction in several hospitals in Indonesia is still below the standard set by the government (>90%). The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the dimensions of the quality of health services with the satisfaction of inpatients at the hospital. Data analysis used univariate, bivariate (Chi-Square test) and multivariate (Logistic Regression test) analysis. The results showed that the level of patient satisfaction was 96.6%, this means that the satisfaction level of inpatients in hospitals in Indonesia is good because it meets the customer satisfaction standards set by the Indonesian Ministry of Health (>90%). Multivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between, service, environment and hospital facilities. The results of this study can be concluded that the quality of health services received by atients is very influential on patient satisfaction itself
