Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis is one of the most dramatic and tragic presentations of lupus nephritis (LN) or renal manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A 35-year-old Bangladeshi gentleman presented with worsening oedema, scanty, high colored, frothy urine and deteriorating renal function. He had puffy face, anaemia, oedema, normal jugular venous pressure (JVP), high blood pressure (150/90 mm Hg), ascites and bilateral pleural effusions. Diagnostic work-up confirmed SLE with class IV LN. His initial response to specific therapy showed improvement Birdem Med J 2020; 10(2): 137-138

ABSTRACT Eight amenorrhoeic women were given 100 μg synthetic LRH (Hoechst) iv and im, respectively, at an interval of 2 weeks. Four of the women received the iv injection first and four the im injection. The urinary excretion of oestrogens and pregnanediol was low and unaltered throughout the test weeks. The effects of LRH were compared by serial measurements of the plasma LH and FSH during 8 h. The initial response of LH for up to 25 min and that of FSH for up to 60 min were equal whether LRH was given iv or im. The difference appeared later. Four hours after the injection the mean increase of LH to iv injection was 0.5 ng/ml (N. S.), while that to im injection was 1.9 ng/ml (P < 0.01). The corresponding values for FSH were 1.3 (P < 0.05) and 3.2 (P < 0.001). The effect of LRH administration im was thus found to be larger and more prolonged.

Real Performance

The assessment of the service life of concrete structures using the durability design approach is widely accepted nowadays. It is really encouraged that a simulation model can resemble the real performance of concrete during the service life. This paper investigates the concrete carbonation through probabilistic analysis. Data regarding Indonesian construction practice were taken from Indonesian National Standard (SNI). Meanwhile, data related to Indonesian weather condition for instance humidity and temperature are taken from local Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency from 2004 until 2016. Hopefully the results can be a starting point for durability of concrete research in Indonesia.
