Clinical Grading

Lymphoscintigraphy with combined qualitative and quantitative analysis is reported to be a more sensitive approach to diagnose lymphedema in comparison with the conventional clinical analysis. Our study seeks to evaluate the diagnostic performance of lower limb lymphoscintigraphy with amalgamation of qualitative and quantitative analysis by measuring the ilio-inguinal nodal uptake. This prospective observational study was comprised of 86 patients (172 limbs) diagnosed with lower limb lymphedema. After a thorough clinical grading of edema, radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy was performed as per a dedicated institutional protocol. Ilio-inguinal nodal quantification of tracer uptake was computed along with the visual study of the scans. Additionally, the corresponding mean nodal uptake percentage for each grade of lymphedema was assessed and a cut off nodal uptake percentage to differentiate between normal and abnormal limbs was defined. Although quantitative analysis with nodal uptake percentage provides objective criteria to diagnose lymphedema, it can only act as an adjunct to qualitative method without replacing it. Finally, standardization of procedure for quantitative lymphoscintigraphy is needed including the potential for combining both rate of clearance of tracer from injection site and nodal uptake for quantification.

Experimental Process

Attitudes towards tax compliance (willingness to comply) Indonesian society is still low. Required an innovative tax dissemination to increase it. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the tax dissemination based on Fogg Behavioral Model (FBM) approach may increase wiliingness to comply. The FBM based tax dissemination asserts that for a person to perform a target behavior, which is a willingness to comply, he or she must be sufficiently motivated, have the ability to perform the behavior, and be trigerred, to perform the behavior. This research is a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis of statistical data results of the questionnaire, interviews, and observations of the respondent and the experimental process of dissemination. The method used in this study is a quasi experimental with patterns of nonequivalent control group (pretest-post which is not equivalent). Based on the results of data analysis, interviews and observations of the respondent and the experiment, this research showed that theFBMbasedtaxdissemination hasapositiveimpactto willingnesstocomplyofthetaxpayers.
