Introduction: Assessing Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) and identifying hyperdense arteries on non-contrast CT (NCCT) are important components of decision-making in acute stroke. Conventional practice uses 5mm averaged slice thickness NCCT for interpretation of these features. We have systematically evaluated several post processing techniques on NCCT to determine if there is improved reliability in identification of ASPECTS and hyperdense artery. Methodology: We assessed four post-processing techniques on NCCT namely (1) 5mm averaged thickness (2) Minimum Intensity Projection (mIP) - 5mm thickness (3) thin slices (0.625mm) and (4) Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) - 5mm thickness (Figure 1). Three raters (student, fellow and expert) independently assessed 100 NCCT scans from the PRoveIT database. All scans were read at four different times 10-14 days apart. At each time-point the post processing modality was changed and the patient order randomized. Information on side of suspected infarction was provided. Raters were asked to score ASPECTS and identify presence of hyperdense artery at each reading. Inter-rater reliability was assessed using Intra-cluster correlation (ICC) for ASPECTS and weighted kappa (wKap) for hyperdense artery. Results: The highest inter-rater reliability was found with the MIP technique (ICC 0.42; p<0.001), followed by 5 mm average, mIP and thin slice respectively (ICC 0.33, 0.32, 0.20; all p<0.01). Highest agreement for hyperdense vessel detection was noted with thin slice (wKap 0.30; p<0.001) followed by Average, MIPs and mIPs respectively (wKap 0.25, 0.18, 0.13; all p <0.05). Conclusion: The use of MIP images for ASPECTS grading and thin images for hyperdense vessel detection improves reliability on NCCT. These simple processing steps are easily available on any modern scanner and may help improve patient care.

Background: It has been since antiquity that the importance of amniotic fluid and fetal growth with perinatal outcome is being documented. But the lacunae lies in studying the relationship between borderline amniotic fluid and perinatal outcome. The following study was undertaken to provide recent data that would help predict perinatal outcome in borderline AFI pregnancies.Methods: About 144 patients were considered in the study OPD/IPD patients in obstetrics and gynecology department in Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and Hospital, with about 72 cases with borderline amniotic fluid index (5-8 cm) and controls with amniotic fluid index ≥9-25 cm. Patients were selected and subjected to history taking, examination, ultrasound test with doppler studies and perinatal outcome documented over a period of one year.Results: The incidence of borderline AFI in my study was 16%. 58% were primigravidas. Meconium stained liquor was found in 18% cases compared to 7% controls. Low birth weight was found in 12.5% cases and 2.7% in controls. On applying statistical test analysis chi square test, it was found that borderline amniotic fluid index in relation to presence of meconium stained amniotic fluid and low birth weight, p value was found to be statistically significant (<0.05).Conclusions: Borderline amniotic fluid and perinatal outcome had significant relationship in terms of meconium stained liquor and birth weight while rest had no significance. Thus, borderline amniotic fluid patients require vigilant fetal surveillance.

Tuberculosis control in Indonesia is still not optimal. The problem of MDR TB (Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis) is an obstacle to controlling TB in Indonesia. MDR TB is caused by no response from TB germs to treatment isoniazid and rifampicin, anti-tuberculosis drugs. TB incidence rate in Serang district ranks second in Banten Province after Tangerang. The number of pulmonary TB cases is due to the lack of public knowledge and awareness about pulmonary TB disease. To reduce the adverse effects of MDR TB requires the involvement of cadres or family members who controlling drug ingestion (PMO). The form of activities carried out through the formation of cadres to care for TB through the KAMI-PMO TB (Education and Assistance for TB Medication Supervisors) in Desa Baros, Kabupaten Serang. The purpose is to increase the commitment, ability, and knowledge of cadres as coordinator of PMO (Drug Swallow Supervisor) to control MDR TB. The method of implementing activities is counseling, demonstrations, and assistance to cadres. The media used were PPT, WE-PMO TB Booklet, and educational videos. The result of the training was an increase in the ability of cadres in providing PMO counseling by 87%. The Paired T-Test analysis results showed a p-value of 0.000, which means that the training conducted affected cadres' knowledge of PMO TB. In conclusion, education and assistance to cadres have a good influence in increasing knowledge and abilities. The expected result is TB care cadres can provide aid and become the coordinator of TB PMO (Drug Ingestion Supervisor).  ABSTRAK:Pengendalian Tuberculosi di Indonesia masih belum optimal.Permasalahan MDR TB (Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis) merupakan hambatan pengendalian TB di Indonesia. MDR TB disebabkan tidak ada respon kuman TB terhadap pengobatan isoniazid dan rifampizin yang merupakan obat anti tuberculosis. Angka kejadian TB di kabupaten Serang menempati urutan kedua di Provinsi Banten setelah Tangerang, dan banyaknya kasus TB Paru dikarenakan pengetahuan dan kesadaran masyarakat tentang penyakit TB Paru masih kurang. Untuk mengurangi dampak buruk MDR TB dibutuhkan keterlibatan peran serta kader peduli TB atau anggota keluarga yang berperan dalam pengawasan menelan obat (PMO). Bentuk kegiatan yang dilakukan sebagai bentuk pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui pembentukan kader peduli TB  melalui KAMI-PMO TB (Edukasi dan Pendampinga Pengawas Menelan Obat TB) di Desa Baros Kabupaten Serang. Tujuan dari pengabdian masyarakat adalah meningkatkan komitmen, kemampuan dan pengetahuan kader sebagai koordinator PMO (Pengawas Menelan Obat) dalam upaya pengendalian MDR TB. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan adalah penyuluhan, demontrasi, dan pendampingan kader. Media yang digunakan yaitu PPT, Booklet KAMI-PMO TB , dan video edukasi. Hasil dari kegiatan adalah meningkatnya kemampuan kader dalam memberikan penyuluhan PMO cukup tinggi sebesar 87%. Hasil analisis uji Paired T- Test didapatkan nilai p value 0,000 yang artinya ada pengaruh pelatihan yang dilakukan terhadap pengetahuan kader tentang PMO TB. Kesimpulannya edukasi dan pendampingan kepada kader memiliki pengaruh yang baik  dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kemampuan, sehingga hasil yang diharapkan kader peduli TB dapat melakukan pendampingan pada pasien TB dan menjadi koordinator PMO (Pengawas Menelan Obat) TB dalam upaya pengendalian MDR TB

Composite fiber were already developed and looked promising in dentistry. PMMA, optically clear polymer, was combined with high mechanically properties ZrO2-Al2O3-SiO2 (ZAS) ceramic powder to improve the flexural strength value of dental post prototype. ZAS powder, with ratio 60:20:20, were first prepared via sol-gel technique. Afterwards, PMMA was dissolved in acetone then incorporate with ZAS powder 1% wt to gain ZAS-PMMA composite fiber via electrospinning method. Dental post prototype were fabricated into two groups, one group contain ZAS-PMMA composite fibers and one group contain neat BisGMA, as control, with amount of each groups samples was 10. As-prepared samples were tested by Universal Testing Machine (UTM) to evaluate the flexural strength values. Based on unpaired T-test analysis (p value < 0.05), the composite fiber post is significantly higher (48.17 %) than the neat BisGMA post. ZAS-PMMA composite fiber post was potential to be used as dental endodontic post in anterior.

A herd infected naturally with tuberculosis was investigated by different diagnostic methods. Ninety days after a screening test that identified 21 cows as skin test positive, a Comparative Intradermal Tuberculin Test (CITT) was performed in those 21 cows and in 29 other randomly selected skin test negative cows. Milk samples and nasal swabs were collected prior to the CITT for bacteriological culture and PCR, while blood samples were collected for IFN release and antibody responses to MPB70 and MPB83, at three time points post tuberculin injection. Animals positive by CITT were slaughtered and disease confirmation undertaken. Based on the Kappa test, IFN was comparable to the standard tests (culture, PCR and CITT) at all three sampling points. Results from both antibody ELISAs were similar but were not comparable to the standard tests. T-test analysis of the CITT, IFN and ELISAs demonstrated that their performances were not correlated. There is increasing recognition that individually, available diagnostic tests do not detect all infected cattle. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy for the diagnosis of bovine TB should include test results for the detection of both cellular and humoral immune responses where there may be animals at different stages of infection.
