Abstract Background Malaria is a protozoan disease which can lead to serious complications if not treated early and correctly. The aim of this study to assess the knowledge about malaria management guidelines among house officers. Methods this is the cross-sectional observational study conducted at 6 of Khartoum teaching hospitals Results The study showed that among the 115 participants evaluated there were 70.4% females and 29.6% were males. 94.8% of participants knew there are malaria management guidelines and 5.2% didn't know about the presence of these guidelines, 58.3% have some information and 10.4% just hear about these guidelines. 89.6% knew the management of simple malaria is outpatient management. 65.2% of the participants were aware of where to manage the cases of complicated malaria (inpatient or in ICU). 27.8% of the participants were aware of the management of simple malaria in the second and third trimester.

Abstract Background: Malaria is a protozoan disease which can lead to serious complications if not treated early and correctly. The aim of this study to assess the knowledge about malaria management guidelines among house officers.Methods: this is the cross sectional observational study conducted at 6 of Khartoum teaching hospitalsResults: The study showed that among the 115 participants evaluated there were 70.4% females and 29.6% were males. 94.8% of participants knew there is malaria management guidelines and 5.2% didn't knew about presence of this guidelines, 58.3% have some information and 10.4% just hear about this guidelines. 89.6% knew the management of simple malaria is an outpatient management. 65.2% of the participants were aware about where to manage the cases of complicated malaria (inpatient or in Intensive Care Unit). 27.8% of the participants were aware about the management of simple malaria in the second and third trimester.Conclusion: Different levels of awareness about malaria management guidelines as whole: 4.3% had an overall poor level of awareness, and 74.8% had an overall average level of awareness and 20.9% had an overall good level of awareness.

Introduction: Ultrasound guidance is commonly used during central venous cannulation. Subclavian vein is a commonly chosen site, but previous studies found varying results in the ideal positioning of the shoulder for subclavian vein cannulation. The objective of this study is to determine which shoulder position results in the greatest cross-sectional area of the right subclavian vein for cannulation. Methods: In this prospective observational study, ultrasound was performed on healthy adult volunteers to visualise the right subclavian vein in three different shoulder positions: neutral, abduction and retraction. A blinded independent investigator measured the cross-sectional areas by computer software using planimetry method. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: Forty-four adults participated in the study. The mean cross-sectional area of the right subclavian vein in shoulder neutral, abduction and retraction positions were 1.05 ± 0.33 cm2, 1.01 ± 0.31 cm2 and 0.82 ± 0.28 cm2, respectively. When compared to shoulder retraction, the cross-sectional areas were significantly increased in shoulder neutral ( P < 0.01) and abduction ( P < 0.01) positions. There was no significant difference between shoulder neutral and abduction position ( P = 0.71). Conclusion: Positioning the shoulder in neutral or abduction results in the greatest cross-sectional area of the right subclavian vein and may be more ideal for ultrasound guided cannulation.

During pregnancy, the mother will experience changes in physical and emotional conditions, which are the main factors for pregnant women, especially primigravida pregnant women. Changes that occur if not handled properly will cause anxiety. Support from the family is needed to deal with the anxiety problems of pregnant women in facing childbirth. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between family support and anxiety levels in third trimester primigravida pregnant women who will face childbirth. This research is an analytic observational study with cross sectional approach, with a sample of 30 mothers. The study was conducted at PMB Murtini Surabaya. The data called by quissioner and it was analytical with correlation rank spearman by using SPSS application with α=0,05. The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between family support and anxiety levels in third trimester primigravida pregnant women who are facing labor with the results of rank spearman correlation is p = 0.001. Postive family support is very important to reduce the level of maternal anxiety in dealing with childbirth.

The only form of cellulose which could unequivocally be ascribed to the animal kingdom is the tunicin that occurs in the tests of the tunicates. Recently, high-resolution solid-state l3C NMR revealed that tunicin belongs to the Iβ form of cellulose as opposed to the Iα form found in Valonia and bacterial celluloses. The high perfection of the tunicin crystallites led us to study its crosssectional shape and to compare it with the shape of those in Valonia ventricosa (V.v.), the goal being to relate the cross-section of cellulose crystallites with the two allomorphs Iα and Iβ.In the present work the source of tunicin was the test of the ascidian Halocvnthia papillosa (H.p.). Diffraction contrast imaging in the bright field mode was applied on ultrathin sections of the V.v. cell wall and H.p. test with cellulose crystallites perpendicular to the plane of the sections. The electron microscope, a Philips 400T, was operated at 120 kV in a low intensity beam condition.

Malaria is one of the health problems in Indonesia, especially West Sumatra. Determination of the description of Malaria disease in an area is needed to determine the spread and severity of the disease. This study aims to determine the frequency distribution according to age, sex and place of residence, description of the types of Plasmodium causes of Malaria and hematological features in Malaria patients at Siti Rahmah Padang Hospital in 2018. This type of research is a descriptive observational study with an approach or design cross section (cross sectional). The frequency distribution of Malaria sufferers in Siti Rahmah Padang Hospital in 2018 according to the highest age was in the age group 21-30 years as many as 28 cases (36.8%), the highest sex among men was 46 (60.5%) and the highest number of residences was found in Koto Tangah sub-district there were 31 cases (40.8%). The type of Plasmodium found in Malaria cases in Siti Rahmah Padang Hospital in 2018 was P. vivax (73 cases (96.05%)) and P. falciparum (3 cases (3.95%)). The results of laboratory tests on Hb, hematocrit, platelet and leukocyte levels in Malaria positive patients in Siti Rahmah Padang Hospital in 2018 were in the normal range.
