Trials can be defined as prospective human research studies to test the effectiveness and safety of interventions, such as medications, surgeries, medical devices and other interventions for the management of patient care. Statistics is an important and powerful tool in trials. Inappropriately designed trials and/or inappropriate statistical analysis produce unreliable results, with limited clinical use. The aim of this systematic literature review is to identify, describe and synthesise factors contributing to or influencing the statistical planning, design, conduct, analysis and reporting of trials. This protocol will describe the methodological approach taken for the following: conducting a systematic and comprehensive search for relevant articles, applying eligibility criteria for the inclusion of such articles, extracting data and information, appraising the quality of the articles, and thematically synthesizing the data to illuminate the key factors influencing statistical aspects of trials.

ABSTRACTStorage must guarantee the qualitiy and safety of pharmaceutical preperations, medical devices, and medical materials after use in accordance with pharmaceutical preparations, medical devices, and medical materials after used in accordance with pharmaceutical requirements.. The aim of this study was to evaluated the storage of medicines and to determine indicators of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats that affect the storage stage in the warehouse of Pharmacy Installation of Lapangan Sawang of Sitaro District Hospital. This research was used descriptive analytical study conducted using qualitative methods. The results showed that there was 4 strength indicators, 3 weakness indicators, 1 opportunity indicator and 3 threat indicators. In conclusion, the Pharmacy Installation warehouse of Lapangan Sawang Hospital is 68% accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Health No.72 2016, but it needs to be equipped indoor lighting, thermometers and naming (labels) on the storage rack. The warehouse strength indicators are good pharmaceutical supply management system, utilization of inventory evaluation management information systems, access to receiving goods from distributors, the person in charge of pharmaceutical personnel, the weaknesses are the number of human resources that are lacking to meet shifts, the existence of expired or damaged drugs, and have not met warehouse requirements based on the regulation. The warehouse opportunities are the development of an inventory evaluation management information system, the threat of which is the change in the inventory module, distributor regulations regarding non-returnable goods, and demand for goods or drugs during the night shift Key Word:  Storage, Medicine, Hospital Pharmacy InstallationABSTRAKPenyimpanan harus menjamin kualitas dan keamanan Sediaan Farmasi, Alat Kesehatan, dan Bahan Medis Habis Pakai sesuai dengan persyaratan kefarmasian. Tujuan dilakukan penelitian yaitu untuk mengevaluasi penyimpanan obat dan menetapkan indikator kekuatan, kelemahan, peluang, ancaman yang mempengaruhi tahap penyimpanan  di gudang Instalasi Farmasi Rumah Sakit (IFRS) Umum Daerah Lapangan Sawang Sitaro. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif analitis yang dilakukan dengan metode kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat 4 indikator kekuatan, 3 indikator kelemahan, 1 indikator peluang dan 3 indikator ancaman. Kesimpulannya gudang IFRS Umum Daerah Lapangan Sawang 68% sesuai dengan Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan (PMK) No.72 Tahun 2016, namun perlu untuk dilengkapi penerangan dalam ruangan, termometer dan penamaan (label) pada rak penyimpanan. Indikator kekuatannya ialah sistem penataan perbekalan farmasi yang baik, pemanfaatan sistem informasi manajemen evaluasi inventory, akses penerimaan barang dari distributor, penanggung jawab dari tenaga kefarmasian, kelemahannya yaitu kurangnya jumlah SDM untuk memenuhi shift, adanya obat kadaluarsa/rusak, dan belum memenuhi persyaratan gudang berdasarkan PMK. Peluangnya ialah perkembangan sistem informasi manajemen evaluasi inventory, ancamannya yaitu perubahan modul inventory, peraturan distributor barang yang tidak dapat diretur, dan permintaan barang/obat saat shift malam. Kata Kunci: Penyimpanan, Obat, Instalasi Farmasi Rumah Sakit

BACKGROUND: The implementation of pharmacy service standards is a way to implement the practice philosophy, which in essence aims to protect the public from unprofessional pharmaceutical services. The Indonesians standard of pharmacy services has been updated several times according to the development of legal requirements in the community pharmacy setting. AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of pharmacy service standards for managing pharmaceuticals, medical devices and disposable medical materials at pharmacies. METHODS: The study was conducted with a descriptive method using a cross sectional survey research design, with a checklist as an instrument for retrieving variable data on pharmaceutical services at pharmacies in the city of Medan, Indonesia. The study was conducted from July to November 2018. RESULTS: The overall standard implementation from 99 pharmacies showed that 72 pharmacies were at a good level (72.72%), fair level as many as 26 pharmacies (26.26%) and 1 pharmacy in bad level (1.02%). CONCLUSION: The study result revealed that even though the level of implementation was good but there were some elements that have high level of “done but not documented” (especially in planning and destruction/withdrawal standards). There were many aspects that must be improved especially the documentation aspect and require cooperation from all relevant parties.

The Relationship

Caries are a pathological process of extracorporeal nature, characterized by demineralization of inorganic substances as well as proteolysis triggered by acids produced by bacteria present in dental plaque, as a result of metabolism of sugars of both external and internal origin. Periodontal disease, on the other hand, is a multifactorial degenerative disease associated with inflammation, involving a group of tissues that surround the dental cervix and root of the tooth. It is believed that one of the mechanisms in the etiopathogenesis of caries and periodontitis are disorders of local and/or general oxidative stress (OS) parameters. Numerous clinical studies have confirmed the relationship between oxidative stress markers and oral diseases. In most analyzed studies, technical and biological variability was so high that none of the markers so far has proven suitable for routine clinical use. The aim of systematic reviews of the literature is to present the existing studies on OS parameters, mainly concerning the activity of antioxidant enzymes in saliva of patients with caries and periodontitis.

Care Information

Digital video technologies are new and powerful tools with wide applications in orthopedic. Already integral to several common medical devices, digital images can be used for case documentation and presentation as well for diagnostic and surgical patient care information. Digital technologies allow easy manipulation of photographic, video and graphic materials in ways that were impossible with conventional techniques. Educational presentation has been transformed by use of computers and digital projectors. Understanding the basic foundations of digital imaging technology is important for effectively creating digital images, videos and presentations. In this review, we are going to discuss some of the issues that are raised by digital imaging in orthopedics, digital image processing, as well as, we are giving some recommendations for good quality of pre-, post- and intra-operative photographs in clinical use.
