Abstract: Patients with end-stage renal failure are unable to survive without dialysis or renal transplantation. To achieve effective dialysis using a double lumen catheter, placement of the catheter tip plays an important role because it may affect blood flow/Quick of Blood (QB). The selection of femoral vein access is more favorable in critical patients. This study was aimed to obtain the correlation between the tip position of the non-tunneling short-term femoral double lumen catheter (DLC) and QB at the time of hemodialysis. This was an analytical correlative and prospective study with a cross-sectional design in patients with end-stage renal failure undergoing hemodialysis using a non-tunneling short-term femoral DLC. This study was conducted at the Hemodialysis Installation of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. Data were analyzed by using the Pearson's r test. The results showed that there were 31 patients enrolled in this study. The Pearson’s r test obtained an r of 0.147 (statistically weak) and Sig (2-tailed) of 0.430 which showed no correlation but the scatter plot showed a tendency of a weak positive relationship. Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between Qb and the tip position of DLC, albeit, there was a tendency of a weak positive relationship. Increasing the number of samples will more accurately predict the presence or absence of the correlation between Qb and the tip position of the DLC.Keywords: DLC, QB, hemodialysisAbstrak: Pasien dengan penyakit ginjal stadium akhir tidak dapat mempertahankan hidup tanpa dukungan terapi pengganti ginjal yaitu dialisis atau transplantasi ginjal. Untuk mencapai dialisis yang efektif dengan menggunakan kateter lumen ganda, penempatan kateter berperan penting karena dapat memengaruhi aliran darah/Quick of Blood (QB). Pemilihan akses vena femoralis lebih menguntungkan pada pasien kritis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui korelasi letak ujung kateter lumen ganda femoralis jangka pendek (DLC) dengan QB pada saat hemodialisis. Jenis penelitian ialah analitik korelatif dan prospektif dengan desain potong lintang. Subyek penelitian ialah pasien dengan gagal ginjal tahap akhir yang menjalani hemodialisis menggunakan kateter lumen ganda femoralis jangka pendek non-tunneling. Penelitian dilakukan di Instalasi Hemodialisis RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou, Manado. Data dianalisis menggunakan koefisien korelasi Pearson. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan 31 pasien sebagai subyek. Hasil analisis koefisien Pearson terhadap korelasi antara letak ujung DLC dan QB memperlihatkan hubungan statistik lemah (r = 0,147) dengan Sig (2-tailed) 0,430 yang menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna tetapi pada scatter plot terlihat adanya kecenderungan hubungan positif lemah. Simpulan: Tidak terdapat korelasi bermakna antara Qb dan letak ujung DLC tetapi terdapat kecenderungan hubungan positif lemah. Menambah jumlah sampel akan lebih akurat untuk memrediksi ada tidaknya hubungan antara Qb dan letak ujung DLC. Kata kunci: DLC, laju aliran dara (QB), hemodialisis

1. Memory in day-old-chickens during the first few hours after learning can be made to decline by the prior intracranial injection of two classes of drugs. 2. Sodium pump inhibitors in increasing doses cause increasingly rapid loss of memory. 3. Protein synthesis inhibitors in increasing doses attain a maximum potency in causing memory decline and the rate may not be further accelerated by higher doses. 4. Adding a sodium pump inhibitor to the inhibition of protein synthesis increases memory loss. 5. Adding a protein synthesis inhibitor to a sodium pump inhibitor causes no further loss. 6. Therefore within a few minutes of learning a short-term memory of limited time span but independent of protein synthesis becomes supplemented and eventually replaced by a long-term storage requiring protein synthesis. The amount of long-term store is set by the amount of short-term memory. 7. The short-term store could be directly dependent on post-activation enhancement of Na + extrusion from neurons. Some physiological mechanisms by which this could be achieved and how this might activate protein synthesis are discussed.

Cardioactive Drug

Tocainide is a primary analog of lidocaine with antiarrhythmic properties used to treat ventricular rhythm disorders. A 76-year-old man with benign paroxysmal premature ventricular contractions was treated with tocainide and developed a generalized maculopapular lupoid eruption, bleeding from the lips and gingivae, vertigo, gross tremors of the extremities, fever, and short-term memory loss, which required hospitalization. The patient recovered slowly over three months with no permanent sequelae after discontinuing the drug and receiving rigorous supportive care. His excellent physical status and absence of concomitant illness contributed to an uneventful recovery. Tocainide is a potent cardioactive drug with a long biological half-life and should be used with caution.

Objective: To describe a case of leucine-rich, glioma inactivated 1 antibody-encephalitis presenting with psychosis. Methods: Case report. Results: A young man with leucine-rich, glioma inactivated 1-antibody encephalitis initially presented with acute psychotic symptoms, short-term memory loss and faciobrachial dystonic seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed hippocampal lesions. Electroencephalography revealed frontotemporal slowing of background activity. Conclusion: Increased awareness of leucine-rich, glioma inactivated 1-antibody encephalitis may promote early recognition and treatment.
