Chicken eggs are fairly high in nutritional content, especially in proteins. Usually, antibiotics are used indisease prevention and treatment program at the layer chicken farms. The use of antibiotics are still notaccording to the direction of use. Egg production is also susceptible to bacterial contamination. Therefore,the objective of this study was to analyze the presence of kanamycin residue, the microbiological quality,and to evaluate potential risk factors associated with the microbiological quality of chicken eggs in theadministration city of East Jakarta. The samples were 100 eggs taken from 21 traditional markets and4 supermarkets in the administration city of East Jakarta. Kanamycin residue tested using bioassaymethod based on SNI 7424: 2008 and the microbiological quality method used based on SNI 3926: 2008.Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis univariate Chi-Square test to determine the effect ofpotential risk factors on the quality of microbiological quality and logistic regression models to analyzethe effect of potential risk factors without looking at the interaction of other factors. The results showedthat kanamycin residues were detected in 26.19% of eggs from traditional markets and 31.25% eggsfrom supermarkets in the administration city of East Jakarta. The median value of TPC, coliform andE.coli were 0.7 log cfu/g, 1.5 MPN/g, and 1.5 MPN/g, respectively, whilst Salmonella sp test was negative.It can be concluded that kanamycin residues still found in the markets and the microbiological qualitywere below the maximum contamination limit based on SNI 3926:2008 and egg cleanness was a riskfactor for coliform contamination.

SummaryAntithrombin III (ATIII) deficiency is one of the few known abnormalities of the coagulation system known to predispose to venous thromboembolism but its relation to arterial disease is not established. We describe two related patients with this disorder, both of whom suffered arterial thrombotic events, at an early age. Both patients had other potential risk factors, though these would normally be considered unlikely to lead to such catastrophic events at such an age. Thrombosis due to ATIII deficiency is potentially preventable, and this diagnosis should be sought more frequently in patients with arterial thromboembolism, particularly if occurring at a young age. In addition, in patients with known ATIII deficiency, other risk factors for arterial disease should be eliminated, if possible. In particular, these patients should be counselled against smoking.

AbstractPeriprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is suspected when local findings such as pain, swelling, hyperthermia, and sinus tract are present. However, the frequency of these findings and the difference between hip and knee are unclear. This study compared the positive rates of local findings in periprosthetic hip infection (PHI) with periprosthetic knee infection (PKI), and aimed to identify potential risk factors associated with the frequency. One hundred one PJI (46 hips and 55 knees) fulfilled the 2018 Musculoskeletal infection society criteria were analysed retrospectively to assess the positive rates of each local finding. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the presence or absence of each local finding, and the influence of two potential risk factors [body mass index (BMI) and C-reactive protein (CRP)] was investigated. Causative bacterial species were divided into high and low-virulent groups, and then culture negative cases were included in low-virulent group. PHI had significantly lower rates of pain, swelling and hyperthermia compared to PKI. Overall, up to one-third of PHI had pain as only symptom. High BMI and low-virulent bacteria were associated with lower frequency of swelling and hyperthermia in PHI. CRP had no impact on positive rates of local findings. PHI was oligosymptomatic in a significant percentage of cases. This is particularly important in obese patients and infection by low-virulent bacteria.
