Background: Intrauterine contraceptive devices are one of the most efficient, cost effective long acting reversible contraceptives. But the worrying clinical symptoms, misconceptions and higher rates of genital tract infection have become a hurdle in its acceptance as the first choice of contraception. The objective of this study was to study the common reasons for removal of IUCD.Methods: An observational study was done involving 430 women who reported to the OBG Outpatient of the hospitals attached to Bangalore Medical College, over a period of 2 years, for IUCD removal. Socio-demographic details, clinical symptoms compelling IUCD removal were elicited. The removed IUCD was subjected to culture and sensitivity. Initial descriptive analysis was used and statistical tests of significance like chi-square were used to know the relation between genital infections and IUCD.  P value <0.05 was considered significant.Results: Of the 430 women, 46.9% were between 21-25 years of age, 49.3% were primipara, and 71% used IUCD for 1-3 years. Most common reason for removal in the first 2 years was heavy menstrual bleed followed by pain abdomen. 15.3% culture reports showed growth of bacteria, with maximum cultures positive in <5 years of usage, the association was statistically significant.Conclusions: Present study shows a lower risk of bacterial infections among IUCD users. Hence, effective counseling regarding the safety of IUCD over other spacing methods is essential to increase its acceptance.

Background: Infra-umbilical surgeries may be performed under local, regional (spinal or epidural) or general anaesthesia, spinal block is still a first choice, because of its rapid onset, high quality of blockade, lack of catheter related infection, less failure rate and also cost effective but the duration of block and postoperative analgesia is limited. The purpose of study was to compare the efficacy of adding ketamine to 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine with midazolam to 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine in elective infraumbilical procedures.Methods: A randomized, single blinded, clinical study. 60 subjects were enrolled from the patients presenting for elective infraumbilical surgeries after following the inclusion and exclusion criteria laid down for the study. Sixty ASA Grade I and II patients undergoing infra umbilical surgeries were randomly divided into one of the two equal groups (n=30).Results: Total 60 patients were included in this study. The mean time to achieve T10 sensory level and modified bromage scale III was prolonged in group M (4.33±1.09, 6.66±1.26 min) as compared to group K (3.3±0.7, 4.96±1.21 min) which was statistically significant (P value <0.05).Conclusions: The present study concludes that addition of intrathecal midazolam to hyperbaric bupivacaine provide very good and prolonged post-operative analgesia without significant intra-operative and post-operative side effects compared to intrathecal ketamine.

Food and drinks that are irritants are very influential on the incidence of gastritis. Gastritis is the most common disorder encountered in the clinic because it is diagnosed based solely on clinical symptoms. This situation can result from food and drink irritating the gastric mucosa, excessive gastric mucosa secretions by the stomach's own secretions and sometimes due to bacterial inflammation. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between food and drink irritants with the incidence of gastritis in the village of Penyesawan, the working area of the Kampar Health Center in 2021. The design of this study used an analytical research design with a cross-sectional design. The sample in this study were the families of 229 people in the village of Penyesawan in the working area of the Kampar Health Center. The sampling technique was simple random sampling.

Healthy lifestyle is an indicator and influence on health problems. Self-management in dealing with this must be done productively. When uric acid is produced in excess and the processing of uric acid is decreased, uric acid levels in the blood are higher. To overcome this, non-pharmacological treatment can be done by consuming bay leaves boiled water. In addition, health education is also needed. Health education is one of the effective nursing interventions to increase awareness and knowledge. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of uric acid health education and drinking bay leaf boiled water to control gout. The research method used is pre-experimental design with pre-posttest design approach. The population was 60 respondents. The sampling method included home visits to gout sufferers. The sample was 22 respondents. Wilcoxon test was used for statistical tests. The results of the pre-posttest showed the P value was 0.001, which is less than 0.05. In other words, health education and consumption of bay leaf water effectively reduce uric acid levels. This research is recommended for the whole community because this intervention has minimal side effects, materials and tools are easy to obtain, and cost-effective so that it can be applied independently

Background: The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a machine learning (ML) model to predict invasive bacterial infections (IBIs) in young febrile infants visiting the emergency department (ED). Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in the EDs of three medical centers across Taiwan from 2011 to 2018. We included patients age in 0–60 days who were visiting the ED with clinical symptoms of fever. We developed three different ML algorithms, including logistic regression (LR), supportive vector machine (SVM), and extreme gradient boosting (XGboost), comparing their performance at predicting IBIs to a previous validated score system (IBI score). Results: During the study period, 4211 patients were included, where 126 (3.1%) had IBI. A total of eight, five, and seven features were used in the LR, SVM, and XGboost through the feature selection process, respectively. The ML models can achieve a better AUROC value when predicting IBIs in young infants compared with the IBI score (LR: 0.85 vs. SVM: 0.84 vs. XGBoost: 0.85 vs. IBI score: 0.70, p-value < 0.001). Using a cost sensitive learning algorithm, all ML models showed better specificity in predicting IBIs at a 90% sensitivity level compared to an IBI score > 2 (LR: 0.59 vs. SVM: 0.60 vs. XGBoost: 0.57 vs. IBI score >2: 0.43, p-value < 0.001). Conclusions: All ML models developed in this study outperformed the traditional scoring system in stratifying low-risk febrile infants after the standardized sensitivity level.

The use of MKJP in Indonesia has decreased every year from 13.7% in 1991 to 10.6% in 2012 (Ministry of Health, 2013). In 2013, based on a mini survey of the Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN), the coverage of MKJP in Indonesia was only 12.4% with a percentage based on the type of method, namely KB implants (5.2%), IUD (Contraceptive Devices in the Womb) / Intrauterine Device (IUD) (4.7%), and Women's Operations Method (MOW) (2.2%), whereas the expected MKJP target is 26.7%. This research is descriptive analytic, conducted to determine factors related to the interest in using MKJP (IUD Implants) in Perigi Mekar Village in 2016. The number of samples in this study were 104 people. Data were collected using a questionnaire. Of the 9 variables studied, 2 variables showed a significant relationship with the interest in using the MKJP is income with a p value of 0.018, and discussions with a partner with a p value of 0.024. From the above statement it can be concluded that the amount of income and the frequency of discussions with partners influences the interest in using the MKJP. It is expected that community leaders can work together with local health workers so that they can provide counseling to the community regarding long-term contraceptive methods. Keyword : Contraception, MKJP, IUD, Implant

ABSTRACT:Anti-dumping on tinplate products aim to protect domestic industries. Still, some industries want tinplate products not to be subject to anti-dumping because domestic production is not sufficient. This research examines the application of anti-dumping import duties on tinplate products from China, Taiwan, and Korea from 2014 to 2018, to know whether there are differences in the value of imports before and during the anti-dumping import duty. Use secondary data sourced from UN-Comtrade. Samples are selected by countries that have continuously sent tinplate products to Indonesia from 2010 to 2018, namely China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Germany, India, and Malaysia. Using the Mean Equality Test, it is known that there are differences in the import value before and during the anti-dumping import duty, with a p-value of 0.0114 less than α (0.05), so it is concluded that there is a difference in the import value of the tinplate product before and during anti-dumping duty. Descriptive analysis results illustrate imports from China and Taiwan tend to decrease. In contrast, imports from Korea tend to increase despite being subjected to anti-dumping duties because they can compete by using preferential tariffs based on free trade schemes.Keywords: Antidumping, Import duty, TinplateABSTRAK:Anti-dumping terhadap produk tinplate bertujuan melindungi industri dalam negeri, akan tetapi terdapat ìndustri yang menginginkan produk tinplate tidak dikenakan anti-dumping karena produksi dalam negeri belum mencukupi. Penelitian ini menguji penerapan bea masuk anti-dumping terhadap produk tinplate dari China, Taiwan dan Korea selama tahun 2014 s.d. 2018, dengan tujuan mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan nilai importasi sebelum dan selama dikenakan bea masuk anti-dumping. Menggunakan data sekunder yang bersumber dari UNComtrade. Sampel dipilih negara yang secara kontinyu mengirim produk tinplate ke Indonesia sejak 2010 s.d. 2018, yaitu China, Taiwan, Korea, Jepang, Jerman, India dan Malaysia. Menggunakan Mean Equality Test, diketahui terdapat perbedaan nilai importasi sebelum dengan selama dikenakan bea masuk anti-dumping. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai-P (p-value) adalah 0,0114 lebih kecil dari alpha (α=0,05), sehingga disimpulkan terdapat perbedaan pada nilai importasi produk tinplate sebelum dengan selama dikenakan bea masuk anti-dumping. Hasil analisis deskriptif menggambarkan importasi dari China dan Taiwan cenderung menurun sedangkan importasi dari Korea cenderung naik walaupun dikenakan bea masuk anti-dumping karena mampu bersaing dengan menggunakan tarif preferensi berdasarkan skema perdagangan bebas.Kata Kunci: Anti-dumping, Bea Masuk, tinplate
