The aim of the study was the analysis of electrocardiographic and echocardiographic parameters in Rhodesian ridgebacks. A group of 16 Rhodesian (9 females, 7 males) in age ranges from 2 to 9 (6.2 ± 2.91) and weighing from 38kg to 56kg (44.66 ±5.78) were divided into two groups based on thyroid hormone concentration in their blood. The first group consists of 12 healthy Rhodesian ridgebacks (8 females, 4 males), and the second of 4 dogs with hypothyroidism (3 females, 1 male). Data obtained from ECG and echocardiographic examination was gathered in a computer database and submitted for analysis. The reference values were determined for ECG and echocardiographic parameters. The difference between groups was evaluated with the U Mann-Whitney test. Analyses were conducted at a significance level of p

Thyroid Hormone Concentration

Summary Aim: In spite of extensive use of 131I for treatment of hyperthyroidism, the results of early outcome are variable. In our prospective clinical study we tested whether 131I induced necrosis causing clinical aggravation of hyperthyroidism and increasing the free thyroid hormone concentration in the serum of patients with solitary toxic adenoma not pretreated with antithyroid drugs. Patients and methods: 30 consecutive patients were treated with 925 MBq 131I. Serum concentration of thyrotropin (TSH), free thyroxine (fT4), free triiodothyronine (fT3), thyroglobulin (Tg), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured before and after application of 131I. Results: After application of 131I no clinical worsening was observed. FT4 and fT3 concentration did not change significantly within the first five days, whereas both of them significantly decreased after 12 days (p <0.0001). Slight and clinically irrelevant increase in the level of the two thyroid hormones was observed in 9 patients. Furthermore, we observed a prolonged increase in Tg concentration and a transient increase in IL-6 concentration. Conclusion: Neither evidence of any clinical aggravation of hyperthyroidism nor any significant increase in thyroid hormone concentration by 131I induced necrosis of thyroid cells was found. Therefore, the application of 131I may be considered as a safe and effective treatment for patients with hyperthyroidism due to toxic adenoma.

Training Simulation

The use of the current method of learning very big influence on the growth and development of students' creativity and interest for all subjects to be taught, especially in the use of partograf. From interviews to the 10 students of IV semester Prodi Midwifery (D-III) Kadiri University is known that 4 (40%) of students said it was understood, 4 (40%) of other students say they are confused and 2 (20%) of them said that he was a student not familiar with partograf. This shows the lack of understanding of students in filling partograph. The research objective is to determine the effectiveness of the use of learning methods for skills training simulation with filling partograph the second semester students in Midwifery (D-III) Kadiri University Faculty of Health Sciences in 2015. The research design used is pre experiment with design Static Group Comparison/Posttest Only Control Group Design. The population studied were all students of the second semester in Midwifery (D-III) Faculty of Health Sciences University of Kadiri numbered 50 students and sampling techniques Federer totaled 32 students. This is a research instrument partograph sheet. Results of the study were analyzed using the Mann Whitney test with a significance level of 0.05 were used.The results showed 7 respondents (46.7%) are adept at using partograf with simulation teaching methods and 6 respondents (40.0%) are adept at using partograph with practice learning methods. Data were analyzed by Mann Whitney test obtained ρ = 0.965; α = 0.05 means that H0 is accepted and H1 rejected. This means there is no difference in the effective use of learning methods for skills training simulation with partograph filling. Based on the results of this study are expected to choose the method of learning as a learning method in charging partograph because both methods equally effective.; Keywords: simulation methods, drilling methods, partograph filling

Background Methimazole (MMI) is used to treat hyperthyroidism in Graves’ disease. It is rare to encounter patients in whom hyperthyroidism cannot be controlled using high doses of MMI. Case presentation: A 21-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of MMI-resistant Graves’ disease. Although her MMI dose had been increased to 120 mg/day, her serum thyroid hormone concentration was too high to be measured. Additional therapy with lithium carbonate, and then with dexamethasone and inorganic iodine, was initiated. After 14 days, the patient’s serum thyroid hormone concentration normalized, while she was taking 150 mg/day MMI, 800 mg/day lithium carbonate, 6 mg/day dexamethasone and 306 mg/day inorganic iodine, and total thyroidectomy was then performed. The patient was discharged 8 days after the thyroidectomy and experienced no major complications. Conclusions We have presented a rare case of Graves’ disease that was resistant to high-dose MMI. Combination therapy of MMI with lithium carbonate, dexamethasone and inorganic iodine may represent a therapeutic option for the preoperative preparation of patients with MMI-resistant Graves’ disease.

Back Massage

Back Massage technique combined with holistic aromatherapy treatment can be an effective therapy for postnatal mothers to increasing breast milk production. This study aims to analyze the effect of Miyik-miyikan aromatherapy on back massage. The increase of breast milk production in postpartum mothers can be seen from the baby’s weight gain. This study was conducted at an inpatient Primary Health Center in Denpasar, in June-October to 30 mothers. This study was designed in a quasi-experimental pre-posttest control group with a time series approach. The observation of the baby’s weight gain and breastfeeding satisfaction starts from day 1, day 7, and day 14 after delivery. This study was analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis Test and the Mann Whitney test. The result of the study showed that the Kruskal Wallis test is p <0,05, meaning that there was a difference in breast milk production in the two groups of intervention. Additionally, the Mann Whitney test showed the difference of baby weight on the 7th day to those in the Miyik-miyikan and Cananga group, and on the 14th day in the Cananga, Miyik-miyikan, and Champak group. Thus, the use of Miyik-miyikan aromatherapy on a back massage can be done earlier after delivery
