The pericardium consists of an outer fibrous layer and an inner serous layer. The serous layer covers the surface of the heart and the proximal portion of the large vessels (visceral pericardium), folds back on itself, and lines the fibrous layer (parietal pericardium). Normal pericardial thickness is less than or equal to 2 mm. The space between the visceral and the parietal layer forms the pericardial cavity, which normally contains 10 to 50 mL of fluid. The pericardium lubricates and reduces friction, serves as a barrier against infection, maintains the heart in a relatively stable position within the thoracic cavity, and prevents acute distention of the cardiac chambers. None of these functions, however, is essential for life, and the pericardium may, in fact, be absent at birth. This review contains 16 figures, 1 table, and 50 references. Key Words: Pericardium, parietal pericardium, visceral pericardium

The pericardium consists of a fibrous sac and a serous membrane. Because of its simple structure, the clinical syndromes involving the pericardium are relatively few but vary substantially in severity. Cardiac tumors may be either primary or secondary and either benign or malignant, with attachment sites throughout the endocardium. Cardiovascular trauma should be suspected in all patients with chest injuries or severe generalized trauma. Cardiovascular injury may be either blunt or penetrating. This review covers pericardial disease, cardiac tumors, and cardiovascular trauma. Figures show an electrocardiogram in acute pericarditis; acute pericarditis with delayed gadolinium enhancement of the pericardium shown with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; underlying cause of pericardial effusion requiring pericardiocentesis; pericardial pressure-volume curves; large pericardial effusion with swinging motion of the heart resulting in electrical alternans; typical pulsed-wave Doppler pattern of tamponade; underlying causes of constrictive pericarditis in patients undergoing pericardiectomy; pericardial calcification seen on a chest radiograph; thickened pericardium; typical pulsed-wave Doppler pattern of constrictive pericarditis; typical mitral annular tissue velocities in constrictive pericarditis; a diagnostic algorithm for the echocardiographic diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis; simultaneous right ventricular and left ventricular pressure tracings in restrictive cardiomyopathy; computed tomographic scan showing inflammatory constrictive pericarditis; systolic and diastolic transesophageal echocardiographic images of a large left atrial myxoma attached to the atrial septum; a decision tree of management options for patients with suspected papillary; transesophageal echocardiographic examples of aortic valve, mitral valve, left ventricular outflow tract, and tricuspid valve papillary fibroelastomas; and transesophageal short-axis view of the descending thoracic aorta in a hypotensive patient after a motor vehicle accident. The table lists tamponade versus constriction versus restrictive cardiomyopathy. This review contains 18 highly rendered figures, 1 table, and 77 references.

The space between the visceral and parietal pericardium normally contains 15 to 25 mL of clear fluid. The pericardium functions to prevent cardiac distention, limit cardiac displacement (by its attachment to neighboring structures), and protect the heart from inflammation. The chest pain of pericarditis is aggravated by movement of the trunk, inspiration, and coughing. The pain can be relieved by sitting up. Low-grade fever and malaise may occur.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the digestive tract (1%). These tumors express the CD 117 in 95% of cases. The stomach is the preferential localization (70%). Diagnosis is difficult and sometimes late. Progress of imaging has greatly improved the management and the prognosis. Computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for diagnosis, staging, and treatment follow-up. The increasing recognition of GIST’s histopathology and the prolonged survival revealed some suggestive imaging aspects. Key words: gastro-intestinal stromal tumors; computed tomography; diagnosis

This article aims at describing the obseroance of wasiat wajibah (compulsory bequeathment) in the Islamic court of Banten, analyzing the provision of the substitute heir and adopted children in the Compilation of  Islamic Law (KHI). In addition, the ideal laws to manage the innheritance rules in Indonesia. This article is library research by using doctrinal approach and using case study and survey methods. The data was, then, analyzed by using analytical descriptive and analytical correlative methods. The result showed that the observance of wasiat wajibah in the Islamic court of  Banten employed by judges is by using the Mawali Hazairin’s Doctrine. The criteria of the adoption of substitute heir and adopted children in the KHI is the attempts of Ulama and many judgees junst in giving legal justice and certainty to the society.   Key Words: Islamic Inheritance Law, Compilation of Islamic Law, Islamic court of  Banten

Five phosphorus rates (0, 5, 10, 20 and 30 kg P/ha) were tested with four rice genotypes in Boro (BRRI dhan36, BRRI dhan45, EH1 and EH2) and T. Aman (BRRI dhan30, BRRI dhan49, EH1 and EH2) season. Phosphorus rates did not influence grain yield irrespective of varieties in T. Aman season while in Boro season P response was observed among the P rates. Application of P @ 10 kg/ha significantly increased the grain yield. But when P was applied @ 20 and 30 kg P/ha, the grain yield difference was not significant. The optimum and economic rate of P for T. Aman was 20 kg P/ha but in Boro rice the optimum and economic doses of P were 22 and 30 kg/ha, respectively. Hybrid entries (EH1 and EH2) used P more efficiently than inbred varieties. A negative P balance was observed up to 10 kg P/ha. Key words: Response; Phosphorus fertilizer; Inbred; Hybrid rice DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/dujbs.v19i2.8962 DUJBS 2010; 19(2): 181-187

One indicator of the success ofeducation in the level of classroom learning is when a lecturer is able to build student learning achievement and will be more successful if this achievement can be increased if their attendance is above 80% (minimum 10 times attendance from 12 meetings). If the students can be grown discipline and provided a decent campus facilities, then as difficult as any lecture material or learning process that followed by they undoubtedly will live with feelings of joy, even they will feel sad if that day lecturer could not come because there is a need outside campus.There are four stages of appraisal that apply to each student for each course taken include (1) attendance of 10% (2) Task 20% (3) 30% Semester Exam (UTS) and (4) Final Exam Semester. (UAS) 40%. The writer as a lecturer tries to cultivate motivation to learn from the beginning, in addition to always communicate actively with students who follow the lecture also monitor attendance and assignment, each completed college is always given the practice / tasks are directly given the value, usually given the task quite easily so they can get a value of 100, even if there is a miscalculation, they are still given the opportunity to fix the error so that eventually get a value of 100. With the value of this 100, their motivation to grow and even grow in such a way that spur them to diligent lectures.The difficulty level of the task is balanced with the lecture, the longer it is raised so as to reach the maximum average level of student ability at the end of the lecture meeting...This research reveals that there is no a significant correlation between student achievement to discipline presence of student/mahasiswa with campus facilities. The analyzing was taken from an answer of 55 students who were randomly selected as respondents by filling out the Questionaire that was distributed to them. Key words : achievement, attendance, discipline, campus facility
